I found the Bumblebee set this morning. Barrett Pkwy Target had 2 left after I got mine.

Target in Athens had a bunch of the Bumblebee 2 packs for 15.99.

Long time, no sightings. I guess those of us who use this have bought everything we were after.

Anyway, just in case anyone is still looking, North Point TRU was overflowing this morning. All of the deluxes except both Bumblebees, a bunch of the Blackout/Scorp set, Ultimate BB and the 6 pack of legends. There was also one Classics Jetfire hiding up top. I left it there in case someone did that on purpose.

Well I hit three Wal Marts, Roswell, Windward and Cumming, and found no sign of Mp starscream. Cumming did have quite a few voyagers though. They had 1 Ironhide, 3 Starscream, 1 Blackout, 1 rescue ratchet and Thundercracker.

No sign of MP SS at Chastain Meadows Wal-Mart but they had restocked the leader class figures and moved them to an endcap. They had all of them including Prime. First time I've seen that in months.

It looked like the whole store was being changed over from Halloween to Christmas. Maybe we'll see SS here soon.

Not that I'm really looking for me but I checked the Winder store yesterday and no SS. I have to stop by the Collins Hill Store today-I'll post something if there's anything interesting.

No MP SS at the Suwanee Super WM. I am gowing increasingly impatient. They did have about 20 DVD OP figures on an end cap for $69.88

One of the WM's I hit (edit: Athens) was restocking this morning and the pallet was full of Hasbro boxes.

Sadly, they were all Spider-Man toys except for one box of Cyber Slammers.

Still no Screamer. Everytime I ask someone with a Telzone to run the UPC I get 0 in stock, 0 on order.

Oooo, that doesn't sound good. Again, I wonder if the over abundance of Primes and Primuses are going to discourage Walmart managers from ordering SS. They just don't move.

if they would lower the price of prime to 48 dollars maybe they would clear out, i look at him and i say to myself that would be a nice display piece, then i see the price and it doesnt look so good any more.

I bought mine when they dropped to $45. Glad i did because they took them off the shelves not long after. (unless someone bought all 20 or so) Primus is down to $25 but no one (including me) is buying it.

Anyway back on topic -- some of the ebay auctions for SS up now are from Mississippi. That's the closest I've seen. If they're moving from mid-America outwards then maybe we're close.

Hello all! I'm new to this forum but not new to the TF collecting world. Long story short, I work at Walmart. So, needless to say, I check the system everynight for MP Starscream. As of Sunday morning, there were none in the warehouse and zero within 150 miles of Acworth GA.

I check in all the time and so when I spot them in the system, I will let everyone know, ok?

Welcome to the Georgia group and thanks for the information. The Acworth Wal-Mart is one of the locations I've been checking for SS. I know we'll all appreciate any news you can pass along.

Again, welcome.

MP SS is in Florida. So at least he probably drove through Georgia. But I am so ready for him to stop here!

Hey Guys, Just Found HIM!
He Is Here...
Got mine at a local Wal Mart not more than 20 minutes ago, 9:30 pm local time.
Please PM me for details.
I am trying to prevent, snakes or scalpers from bumming off my sightings as I think someone might be.
If you insist I'll just post it here anyway, but I urge you to check any Walmart tonight if possible!!!
I will post pics asap!

Howell Mill Super WM is a no-go. I've had good luck with Suwanee in the past. I anticipate a road trip in the morning. PM me where to go!

Got mine.

been lurking on the board for a few days, following MP Starscream's movements. Thanks to everyone's posts, I am now the proud owner of MP Starscream that I just bought not more than half an hour ago at the Commerce Wal-Mart (Commerce=1 hour north of the ATL). Only saw 1 case but I did'nt look for others.

good news indeed, I will check tonight! thanks for the PM.

SHOCKWAVE, can u check your Walmart computers to see if its out everywhere in Metro ATL? or does it show being out at all?

I saw them at all the Wal-Marts I hit this morning. All had a good supply.

I picked through a lot before I found one I liked. The "battle damage" really varies from figure to figure.

Yeah, I'll check tonight when I go in. I went there earlier and found a store (manager checked for me) near mine that had 18. I went and found 10 (minus 1 for me) sitting on the bottom shelf. I guess there wasn't enough room to put the others out. PM if you want to know where I got him.

BTW, I was lucky enough to get it as an early Christmas present from my wife. She said that she was gonna get it for me anyway but when she saw how excited I was that it was spotted here in GA, she couldn't wait to buy it for me. She apparently had money squirelled away that I didn't know about. :grin:
