We have a new Wamart opening in a week. I am hoping to find newer Energon waves there. Deluxes are not on any shelves and Megas just have shelf warmers right now. I need my fix ![](http://img8.photobucket.com/albums/v28/gunman_sr5/4_2_3.gif)

Same here. I don't want the roleplay stuff yet, and omega was ok for a while. I need more...

I haven't bought any new energon since the end of MAY!!! ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png) I passed on offshoot and energon strongarm, but I still haven't seen shockblast, omega, bulkhead, etc., not to mention alts hound and ss. fyi, wm will be redoing the toy mods during the second week of august. Maybe then we'll get some new toys. EDIT: I haven't bought a new energon fig since the last day of MAY! ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)

I doubt my TRU will ever get rid of their pile of 14 E Ironhides without divine intervention. But we've been having lots of luck finding the newer stuff at less likely places, like K-mart and Kohl's. Found Cliffjumper, Offshoot, and E Strongarm at K-mart, and Downshift and Towline at Kohl's. Downshift is my hands-down favorite of the new wave, since he looks so much like G1 Wheeljack. My girlfriend was thinking of buying an extra sometime and painting it up into "Marlboor" Wheeljack. That's Wheeljack's nicotine-addicted cousin from the original Diaclone toyline. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Tony

Hey Huffer, how much do deluxe figs cost at kohls? I bought arcee and insecticon there, and they were $9 apiece. I don't feel like paying such inflated prices if I can help it. If nothing else, I'll wait for wm or target to get them in if they're too expensive.

Hey Huffer, how much do deluxe figs cost at kohls? I bought arcee and insecticon there, and they were $9 apiece. I don't feel like paying such inflated prices if I can help it. If nothing else, I'll wait for wm or target to get them in if they're too expensive. Actually the price on Deluxes at Kohl's wasn't too bad. They were $11.99 each, plus the governor's tax of course. So that's only a couple dollars over Wal-mart and Target, and actually a dollar cheaper than KB Toys. Usually price isn't a big deal when I got looking for new TFs in stores (within reason). Usually I'll pick them up wherever I find them first. But I try to stay away from buying TFs on-line because of the super-inflated prices coupled with the cost of shipping. Plus I'm a firm believer in Murphy's Law. As soon as I'd order a toy on-line for a hefty price, I _know_ I'd go to Wal-mart the next day and see the same toy on the shelf at regular retail price. *Huffer voice* Ah just know it! Tony PS- Ever see the prices of TFs at FAO Schwartz when they were still in business? In the Beast Wars days, they had $6 basics for $12, and $15 Megas for $22!!! ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)

thanks huffer, $11.99 isn't too bad. I almost put back the basics I got b/c they're four bucks more than I'd pay at wm, and that's almost too much of a difference for me. I'm almost always the same way as you, though: I buy it from whereever I see it first, who knows how long it'll be before I see it again. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
