Today I found Prime and Megatron at Marshalls on Rt 4, but ONLY Prime and Megatron. About 6 of each on the shelves. If someone wants to trade me Dragstrip and Overkill i'll pick them up.

I found a single prime and Meg today. If anyone could help me with an overkill and dragstrip that would rock.
Prime was behind a box of blocks and megs was mixed in with baby stuff. At least I found 2

They appear to be out in force in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area again. Went to Marshall's in Richardson, Plano, and Frisco yesterday and they all had Megs, Frisco had Prime too, Yay! They all also had one or two of the other too.

Great. I ordered my Overkill direct from Hasbro while it was supposedly still in stock. Now I'm backordered on it until mid-February.
Good to know why.

4th store on my hit list today way out of the way from work…stuck in afternoon rush hour even though I took off from home an hour earlier. After getting stuck at every possible dead end street and more traffic, I finally found the store.
When I walked in I was still fuming and this store was a lot smaller than the ones I've been hitting all week. Gazing in all directions I almost missed the children's dept but sure enough this store had one so off I went. This store had a more complete toy section and sure enough my quest was over. I found those suckers and they would soon be mine. I raced to the front of the store to get a cart and when I got back I started cleaning them out. I made my way to the register…paid for my stuff and to the sweet sounds of the register a few minutes later…I was out of there.
I had less than half an hour to get to work but after dodging traffic again I made it to work with 2 minutes to spare.
Now I didn't intend to clean out the store but I didn't have time to check which boxes were better than others, which ones had better paint apps and what not..I just put everything in there and ran.
Now, I don't intend to profit off of these…I'm just going to check what is it I got because I'm really not sure how many I have of each…I know I have all 4 though in there. As soon as I go through them I'll return what I don't need or help those out that are still trying to find them.
I can tell u after all I've been through to hunt these suckers down, I wouldn't want to deprive anybody from having a set…so you won't be seeing me put these up on ebay. I'm not gonna do that.
Right now…I'm just going to relax and enjoy the sweet smell of victory…

Well I stopped by my Marshalls before work again and still nothing…the few shelves of toys there look like a hurricane hit big time.

Yes! I went to my local Marshalls on Michigan Ave in Dearborn, Mi and they all of them. I didn't think I would find any, so that's great. I picked up 2 Dragstrips and an Overkill and left 1 Megatron, 5 Primes, 1 Overkill, and 1 more Dragstrip. If anyone goes there to look for em go to the toy section in the boys department, they are scattered about over the shelves some underneath some of the other toys. Also I checked TJ Maxx and AJ Wright, nothing.
Happy Hunting guys.

So that's where my now 'out of stock/backordered' Overkill bought direct from Hasbro while still in-stock went. Greeeeeeeeaaat.

I've hit 3 Marshalls and still nothing…just that 1 empty box…

I feel the other way. Hasbro did one run of these so the amount is the same whether sold through HTS or at Marshalls. It's an awesome deco and I'd prefer Hasbro make them and then dump extras to Marshall's then never make em. I got it from HTS when it was 20% and free shipping so I paid $14 for them and I've had them for a year. From Marshall's it's $11 after taxes. If Hasbro had made half the amount they probably would have had to charge $20 each. I prefer cheap over novelty/exclusivity.

I found only 1 Dragstrip in my local Marshalls…Dragstrip's open empty box that is…./)3*9)16@@!!! DOUCHEBAGS!!!

Good afternoon all.
I just picked up 2 Drag Strips from my local Marshalls. I am looking to trade with someone(s) for a Megs and/or Prime. So, if you access to a Megs and/or Prime in your area and not Drag Strip/Overkill and "want/need" one, PM me so we can make a trade.
edit: also have 2 Overkills to trade too.
Thanks

So can anyone verify that TJ Max is also selling these?
OptionZero

don't want to sound like a jerk, but that is kind of mean…..what if other people wanted a set?

Mine only had Dragstrip and Overkill, but I bought every single one of them. The best $75 I've spent in a long time.
