I'm in Bowling Green, OH, about a half hour south of Toledo.

Chicago seems to be at the end of the list of TF's. I finally found a Alt. Smokescreen two weeks ago while everyone and thier second cousin's uncle got theirs for Christmas. If Alt. Sideswipe is out now, It'll be at least three weeks before he shows up in this area.

Actually, Alt Silverstreak is popping up at Walmarts everywhere now, it seems. He's been found around Columbus, Ohio, but I haven't seen or heard any sign of him in the northwest corner of the state. Which, of course, makes me want the toy even more.

I think he's coming evenly distributed with Sideswipe, although I don't know how many of both are in a case.

I've wondered why they didn't use the Lambo design too. Nothing against the Viper, of course. And considering Dead End's head sculpt, has there been any official confirmation of a Sunstreaker repaint?

Solscud, you're right...Tracks is a Corvette. Man, I was tired when I typed that.

I checked my Walmart for Silverstreak, and they've got nothin'.  He's been seen in Walmarts in North Carolina and Massachussetts or Connecticut, I think...I'm in Ohio, and this part of the state tends to drag when it comes to getting new stock.

By chance, you wouldn't happen to know which Wal-Marts in North Carolina...?

and look through the sightings! section.

http://tformers.com/article.php?sid=2975 is another thread where people are reporting in sightings of Silverstreak. Axelay, the NC Walmart in question was in Statesville.

Hope this helps!

Some people have speculated that Hasbro and/or Takara will rename the red RX-8 as Cliffjumper. I'm ambivalent either way, as I tend to avoid repaints now, but I'll probably make an exception in the case of the Alternators. The Dead End repaint of Sideswipe looks awesome, and there's a rumor that they're going to repaint (and maybe slightly retool) the Tracks Camaro as Wheeljack.

Tell me about it. It's gonna drive me nuts when Meister comes out.

I've started picking up some of the Energon figures, my local Wal-Mart only has the first wave toys, and they're not restocking them. I had to go all over Colombus before I found someplace with Arcee. I've heard that wave 2 hasn't made it to the Dayton area, yet.

I don't think Siverstreak has been seen anywhere in this state.

I haven't really seen Arcee or Insecticon in any Walmarts up here, but they're all over the Meijers stores in this area. I did pick up E-Demolishor at the Walmart on Central Avenue in Toledo about two weeks ago and have seen E-Mirage around as well, so we're getting new Energon stock at least.

Mechwolf, the Binaltechs cost about twice as much as the Alternators do, but if you decide to get them, they're usually worth it. I have Binaltech Smokescreen and Sideswipe, and although I have to buy the Alternator versions from now on for monetary reasons, the BT's are REALLY solid toys.

welome to macross world Doctor Reggae. i am really waiting for hound right now, I may want to get the import version over the US version but i am definetly getting him.

Thanks for the welcome, zeo mare...I've been lurking for a while, and I enjoy what I see.

I've somehow resisted getting the Binaltech versions, but it's getting harder and harder to resist.

Must...have...these...toys...

Hey...it's my first MW post! Ah yeah...

The new US Alternators aren't completely out yet. Sightings have been reported of Silverstreak being found in Walmarts on the East Coast, but no sign yet of Hound. I'm practically salivating about getting these two.
