You coming down to New Orleans?

Yeah, I have dual employment with both LSU and the LSU Health Sciences Center, so I make a regular trip down there every other month or so.

So this thread isn't a problem as long as I don't post the link? Or should I have not started this thread? I'm confused...

Nabbed a legends Sandstorm from the Wal Mart in Harahan last night. He reminds me of outback with his color scheme.

After driving all over New Orleans all weekend the only thing I have to report back are new 2 pack PCC's at the Chalmette and Veteran's Super Walmarts. :/

Hey, that's great news Mazing! I stopped at the Walmart on Tchopatoulas yesterday hoping to find the new 2 packs, but had no luck. I talked myself out of going to the one on Vets because I figured it'd just be a waste of gas. They must have just put them out because I checked there Saturday with no luck. Been dying to get my hands on Leadfoot and Pinpoint. Were there a lot there? If so, I know where I'm going after work!

I actually only saw Ice pick there. The one in Chalmette had a good bit out though of both Icepick and Leadfoot. Take S Claiborne though the 9th ward, pass Arabi and it'll be on your left. Also, the TRU Express in Esplanade had a full stock of TFA Ironhide and Rodimus in case anyone was looking.

Oh, and not that you'll likely be out this way, but the Wal-mart in Walker also had the new two packs as well. If you head up to BR this weekend take 55 to 12 and take a right off the Walker exit.

Thanks for the info Mazing. I actually work 5 minutes from Chalmette, so I can easily swing by after work. I'm glad you told me the one on Vets only had one Icepick, you just saved me a lot of grief, lol. Thanks again!

No problem! They both look good, but with Metroid: Other M, Halo Reach and Spider-man: Shattered Dimensions coming out this month I've got to reserve my toy fund for what's important... Darkmount!

I stopped by a couple places this morning. Vets TRU has nothing new, vets WM has nothing new, but Target on Vets had one each of WFC Megatron and Darkmount! Needless to say I bought them both.

Thanks for the heads up Mazing. Went to the Walmart in Chalmette and got the last Icepick and Leadfoot.

Also, I didn't think it was worth noting, but yesterday I saw HFTD Bonzaitron at the Walmart on Tchopatulous. I had no interest in the figure, so I didn't know he was part of the newer HFTD Wave 2 Voyagers.

Hey guys, I spotted Darkmount and WFC Megatron @ the Baton Rouge TRU this morning. There were only one of each so someone must have beaten me to the others. I was only really interested in Darkmount, so I stashed the WFC Megs behind the row of ROTF figures on the peg next to the Generations in case anyone is heading to or through BR in the next couple of days.

THe Vets TRU has a bunch of generation cases up top.. Unfortunately all of them are the first assortment with Drift and Thrust.. Dunno when they will get any newer ones in right now..
Kind of sucks..

I noticed something about those cases though, did you see how half of them had "hub" after their assortment numbers?

I was tempted to climb up there and grab one down... wouldn't be the first time I've done it in that store, but didn't have the chance to. I haven't had any luck figuring out what, if anything at all, it might mean.
