You know, more of my money goes to Third Party figures than actual Hasbro/Takara product when it comes to TFs these days.
Eight seekers and six insecticons in the last three months. Ironhide and Ratchet soon enough, then the next wave of seekers. Probably the FP Arcee. And I really like the Seaspray and Huffer though they're too small to fit with my stuff. And if those MP Style Soundwave and Blaster ever come about... Sheesh. Hurstbourne Meijer had 5 Iron Grenadiers and 2 Stalkers |

That Hercules costs almost exactly the same amount of money that I still owe on my REAL truck...and you've seen my truck, lets be honest, it's much cooler.

Plasma would take you about 4 months...kidneys? You'd wake up in a seedy motel bathtub full of ice with 1 missing and you'd still not get the figure.

I'll be honest, it's simply a matter of priority. You know? A simple question of what I want more. I've completely stopped on MU stuff, slowed down my Joes to the point where I probably will never own a Skystriker or Crimson HiSS or even the 30th Stalker... Plus things like the PTE add-ons are off the radar now. Those things add up and I'm able to purchase my conehead seekers with little worry.
But honestly, I don't even want the Hercules set. I really don't think it's that great for the price. Course that may be partly biased as I'm not a die-hard Classics collectors and prefer to stick with the MP line and my dead but not forgotten Alternators and Binaltechs. And back to the topic of this thread, I'm pretty sure that the Crimson HiSS was at the Wal-Mart in Frankfort at some point earlier in the week. The Vamps seem to be sitting around easy enough elsewhere and the lone VTOL on the shelf didn't get there by itself. |

Would any of you fine folks happen to be in the Lexington area? If so, how's the Joe situation up there?*
I'm thinking about heading that way this weekend and toy hunting. The situation here in Morehead is AWFUL. The only store that even gets reliable stock is Kroger of all places. |

Uh, Lexington can be hit or miss. I'm pretty sure the TRU there still has RoC leftovers and maybe a PoC Duke. But its been a while since I checked. If you are set to make the trip though, don't forget to look at the Targets on both sides of town. There's also a Meijers and Kroger to look at in the Hamburg area and several Wal-Marts to check into. I mean, heck, if you're gonna drive all the way there, might as well make the most of it. |

Yeah, Kroger is really stepping up the game on trying to keep a toy aisle stocked. Well, the Megalo-Krogers anyway.

I hit the sweet stuff at the Walmart in Mount Sterling, though. The pegs were stacked with both waves of 30th and they had several VAMPs and Cobra VTOLs. Snagged a third Viper, a Cobra Trooper and Renegades Firefly but there were still plenty left. If anyone's in that area or within driving distance I'd recommend giving it a look-see.

I've been working at that TRU for the past two weeks. I haven't seen ANYTHING in the back as far as Joes go, though it's hard to tell for sure due to our "organized mess". What we DO have are a dozen mechs, a few Skystrikers, about four Black Dragons, and last week we had a VAMP. As soon as something goes up I'll let you guys know.
