Well I just did a THOUROUGH check of locations in Jacksonville and the only thing I found was a RTS Deepdive at Ross, and then the NEWER DOTM toys such as Shockwave. I actually picked up Shockwave. Why must it be so hard to find Windcharger and RTS Lugnut!?!?!?!?!?!?

Re: North Carolina Transformers sightings
it seems like they have some in backstock..i know when i bought skyhammer right after the toys came out, they had a blurr and a bunch of skullgrin. When I went friday and got Shockwave and the blue Sideswipe they had another blurr(i bought the first one) and the others I mentioned. Oh thunderwing was there too. So apparently they had at least a bo of that generations wave with CJ, Kup, Scourge, Thunderwing and an RTS run of that last wave. I wish they had had G22 Prime on the shelf since i want it before that 3rd party add-on jacks up the price. THough the united one does look better.

Just hope they are still there bro, those are the only ones I have seen in this area at all. By the way...keep checking the TJ Maxx, Marshall's and Ross stores. I got the last Lugnut they had at TJ Maxx so we are getting them, somewhat!

I've actually noticed this, but it seems Target is still providing Generations toys, while other retail chains are kicking in DOTM. I even checked out Target's website, and it said no Generations were on sale. Conspiracy? I think so!

If anyone is near Concord check the TJ Maxx in Concord Mills. They had 2 Lugnts, a Grapple, and a Strafe. I haven't seen any of the legends, scouts, or deluxes yet.

Re: North Carolina Transformers sightings
Did a canvass of the Hickory area today. I picked up Leader Starscream for $20 at ROSS. Wal-mart on 70 had nothing new but Cyberverse Leadfoot. TRU had sideswipe and ironhide scan, all of the kre-os except for Sentinel Prime, and the legends exclusive 4-pack. TJ Maxx had voyager HftD prime, banzai-tron and night-ops ratchet all for $9.99. Lastly, Target had one Leader Ironhide. I did not buy it.

Finally, after an elapsed time of 3 months, my quest has ended with a fanboy squeal; Scourge has been recovered! I finally found him in a Wal*Mart today (there was only one left, ONE LEFT!!!), hiding behind Lazerbeak. I have to say, I had high expectations, but it just completely broke the scale, it's so awesome. The only downside that I find rather even remotely depressing is the fact he doesn't come with a Fracas figure. I think I might have a remedy with this... I'll let everyone know if I proceed to do it.

Nice find on the Scourge Mindmaster! All I need now is either Windcharger or the DOTM Guzzle that is coming out....either one....then I am done until I move, I have officially run out of space!

Thanks for the help with the other Generations. Unfortunately, I couldn't find Warpath and Wheeljack.

Well I just got Windcharger from a good friend of mine!!!!!! Finally until Guzzle is found I am officially done. Now if I get anymore I just can't open them...not enough space and getting ready to move has caused this decision.

He found it at Ross in Jacksonville...which kills me because I was just there the week before he found him!

Is it just me, or is Jacksonville a hotspot for RTS figures?

It's very possible, back in February I found the whole wave of G2 Prime, Bumblebee, Perceptor and Wreck-Gar at a target there...AND they had two of each figure!!!!! I found them out ofluck because the only reason I was there was to get some Gundam models from a hobby store across from the mall, then checked Target. It's funny cause when I went up there a couple oif weeks ago they had jack squat!

Going to start posting my Raleigh sightings here again, I'm getting pretty fed up with the "other" board.
Brier Creek Walmart: Saw an unopened case of HA figures on a pallet and thought I had finally scored a Roadbuster. Unfortunately it was just a Wave 1 revision case with 2 Skids figures instead of 1.
Apex, Cary, Brier Creek Targets: Wave 1/2 stuff and some Wave 3 Deluxes, nothing exciting.
Western Blvd. K-Mart: Not much of anything. Some RotF Leader Megatrons if you need a Leader Megs fix and missed out on that one.
