I'm still holding onto hope that we will see The Rock and Rain Fire at Walmart for Chritmas, but time is very much running out.
Truth be told, I would much prefer the non-dino version of The Rock. Also I did not care for the color of the Rain Fire, so a repaint would be welcomed.

Yeah, well sadly good luck with that. I went to the Lanard annual Christmas sales and asked specifically about the rock. The lady that I've talked to every year said she has the demo they showed her at her house and her kids play with it, but they decided not to bring them in or they couldn't find a seller that would sell that playset. So right now it is overseas only, and the Rain Fire same situation, Walmart did not want to carry it this year like they did last year and no one else wanted to carry it. So we're SOL on both of those I believe.
She did mention perhaps Disney Stores were going to carry the ones that were partial playsets with the dinosaurs. |

I did find a SWARM Beast Bomber today and a Titan Tank (they had two) at the Walmart out near Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City today, but neither of those things were at the annual sale I'd just left about five miles away. The sale is a never know what they might have thing, got there and had to fight to get around a three man team buying for their store to quickly try to snag what I wanted before they snapped it up.

I am envious of you living so closely. I do plan to make a trip up there for the annual sale one year.

I hit the Wal-Mart in the Ashland, KY early this morning and found one of the Swarm bombers for $25. I love the new paint scheme on it, for me these colors work much better than the older one did.

Man, I want those, frankly. Amazon has 'em, but not at a price-point that works for me, either. |

There are two sets called "Beast Strike" - one has the top half of the Rock and a t-rex and the other comes with the bottom half and a giant gorilla with a metal fist

I believe you are correct. I watched a couple youtube reviews and it appears the beast strike sets don't have some of the pieces from when the Rock was releases before, things like the missle, ladders, and the landing pad
