Check your Walmart's

Today I went into a Walmart and saw cardboard racks running down the isles with various toys for each and TF had it's own. There were tons of Hailstorms, Terradives, Ravages and a couple other movie figures. So if you head to the TF isle and don't see anything check out in the walkways leading to the toy section.

Good advice. I saw the PCC Dinobots and Constructicons at my local Walmart. I bought the Dinobots ASAP! Still waiting on those new Generation figures though...

Hey, what do you think of him? I just bought him tonight and put him together not even 3 minutes ago (he's right in front of me now!).
He's nasty and gnarly looking, but it works for this figure. I like him!

He's definitely the best PCC 5 pack yet. Very solid, can actually stand without having to worry about it toppling over if you look at it sideways, AND it has an awesome UNIFIED color scheme. My only complaints are the lack of real hands (but that's a common problem with the entire PCC line) and Grimstone's dinosaur mode isn't as awesome as his drones'. Can't recommend this set enough. I hear good things about the Constructicons too, but I can't justify purchasing them if they aren't lime green and purple.

Assuming most WM's use the same floor plan, as you walk through the non food section doors you can walk straight to the where toy's butt up against electronics. I found them down that path to toys.

I found a similar setup a few days ago at a Walmart Supercenter in my area. The display was just a bunch of cardboard "shelving" standing about four feet tall at most. The Transformers display was LOADED with Hunt for the Decepticon figures, including Tomahawk and Terradive. The displays were lined up down the median of the store, from beyond one of the entrances back to the electronics section of the store. At the end of the line of displays was a sign reading "Toy Lane" (or something to that effect) pointing towards the general direction of the regular toy aisles.

The constructicons are good too, with one minor issue. The clips that secure Steamhammer's legs for Gestault mode are so tight, I'm afraid I'm going to break him.
He does have normal five-fingered hands, though. That alone made him a mustbuy for me.
