A user over at TFW2005 reported spotting and purchasing Hoist and Thundercracker at a Wal*Mart in Waynseboro, Pennsylvania.

Has anyone here seen these two?

Cool! Come on BBTS!!! I give BBTS another 3 weeks before getting them :P

*EDIT*

I just wanted to add, my Walmart has not stocked any new TF's since Bruticus. Bruticus sold out and they got that extra wave of Optimus/Jazz/Shockwaves overstock. One lonely FOC Optimus has been sitting on the shelf for months. Other than that, empty!

I still hadn't seen series 1, but I found Hoist X 2, along with a Megatron and Orion Pax at Walmart tonight. I only picked up the Hoist for now, but I would have gotten Thundercracker if there was one.

The second wave actually combines these two and the first wave together. So technically speaking, you did see the first wave. ;) Thanks for dropping by!

If you can find these in stores, buy em. I got mine for $13 each which is cheaper than BBTS.

I have wanted a Trailbreaker/cutter figure for years but I am just not in love with this guy. I like the Hoist much better, though.
