Well, I went out to look for the Walmart exclusive deluxe Optimus Prime with no luck. However, I did pick up the Cyberverse playsets of Optimus and Megatron. I think the trailers are pretty cool, especially when you take in account their small size. The bots, though, seem to have lost a bit of quality in their joints and paint apps since the original molds ran just a month ago. Not bad enough to turn them down though. Still great figures for what they are. I picked them up at 12 and Gratiot Walmart and they had one of each left.

If anyone is still looking for Scourge or Sgt. Kup, they have a few of each at Hall/ 94 Walmart in Chesterfield.

I'm in too. To be honest, I've never been to a botcon (I really want to go to one!) So I'm not in all the know-how about the convention except for the website.

I went to Westland TRU today, and they had a KRe-o shelf ready, but none in stock.. They said that they were hoping they would come on tomorrow's truck.

Just so you know, Flint TRU gets in shipments on Tuesday and Thursday morning and they put it out right away.

Okay, I just figured out what you meant. They actually had the shelves set up in a dedicated little DOTM section just inside the entrance. Livonia TRU didn't have them out when I checked back today.

Livonia TJ Maxx had two RTS Lugnuts and Two RTS Strafes. I wasn't planning on buying those two, but $9.99 was a little hard to pass up. No Grapple :-x

or RTS Legends or Scouts.

Sweet! Thanks- just got my order in for Warpath and Wheeljack as well.

You guys see that HTS has TF KRE-O (pre-order)?
