Hoarding vehicons? Who would do such a thing!? Haha, this is actually the first time I've heard of collectors actively and somewhat obsessively hunting down and troop building a transformer "trooper" figure. I hunt at retail a lot, and while I don't always ransack the TFs searching for vehicons (usually because I just assume they're not there), I do check once in a while in passing, and it amazes me that in all of my travels and weekly hits, I have never seen a vehicon in the wild until last night. I guess you just need to be in the right place at the right time, and these alleged "hot wheels collectors" have apparently been scooping them up along with any renegades SS figures, which is interesting. Also add to the fact that there have only web 1 vehicon per case thus far (I hear later waves will have doubles), but still it's strange that they all disappear that fast. The last one-per-case figure that I scoured endlessly for (and it paid off) was the POC wave 1 Alley Viper. I think I had 20-25 before the revision cases even came out.

I'm pretty sure people have been army building the Junkions for a while now.

Target at Bald Hill no Joes, Silver Centurion pack out x two.
Toys R Us has retaliation Cobra Commander black. Along with some other figures nothing of interest. Marshal has one of those sentinels the same with TJ max Max also has two of the real ghostbusters mego figures for 10. |

Did the Ghostbusters figures' packaging look almost like they were victims of water damage? All the ones at my nearest TJMaxx were like that...sad, really wanted one sealed.

Anyone see any Leader Class Sentinel Primes at any RI TJ Maxx or Marshalls stores yet?
All I keep seeing are Bumblebees and Ironhides while everyone on TFW keeps finding those and Sentinel Prime.

That's true, but they seem to be much more plentiful. I see Junkheap figures everywhere, and now they're showing up at TJ Maxx and Marshall's, and I even saw a few wreckgars at my local Tuesday morning. I just think the vehicons are much more in demand (and a bit more scarce).

I've seen a few of those at my TJ Maxx, none seemed to be damaged though.

What's at Tuesday Morning anyway? I heard they had the POC vehicles and that star wars vintage wave with the white&red clone trooper, but I've seen none of that(I checked the seekonk location).
