i stopped by a TRU and walmart - walmart happened to be right next to TRU. the closest target was too far to go during lunch.

walmart had nothing. i have spotted alternators at others though.

TRU had a healthy stack, but not what i was looking for [grimlock & prowl].. not that i expected to find alternator prowl anyway. they also had a bunch of G1 silverstreak reissues on clearance. i forget how much. but more noteworthy is they had a reissue ricochet on clearance for $10. too bad the box was a bit beat though, and had been opened. on the shelf he stayed..
