Just wondering what is hot in the new model lines for sale at your local big box retail center.
I need to get things to trade for the stuff I want.

Yeah, the trick is actualy finding ANYTHING at the local stores. In the past week I have been to two of the three wal marts that are near me that I know about, and the only "real" transformers they had were a few of the Real Gears (TFs that turn into household items incase you didn't know). They had lots of some of the other random stuff, Big Rig Blaster, those weapon thingies, some odd computer looking thing, oh and the Prime Voice changers that AREN'T cullen.
It's believed that Hasbro simply didn't make enough product to keep up with demand, and has basically run out. We should be getting stuff soon, but for now the shelves are bear. Seems like both a good and a bad time to be a Transfan. Good in that our hobby is successful again, bad because some of us can't get anything.
Currently the hottest of the hot is the '08 Concept Cammaro Bumblebee which is allegedly the target of most scalpers. It's a deluxe class with a normal price of around $10, but it's been sold for around $50 on ebay.

A couple days ago, at a Walmart I went to in Downers Grove, IL, all they had was Leader Brawl, 2 or 3. That and a bunch of Real Gears, the originals, and some FABs.
A TRU near me a couple weeks ago was silly w/ the recent Dlxs, but those are gone now too. Just as well, the pause will let me
recover financially shop the End Cap for older TFs I've decided I
want can't live without.

Seriously? Leader Brawl? I've seen those several places, but there are several Deluxes I'm still not sure of if they exist. Concept Bumblebee, Dropkick, Payload, Longarm... never so much as glimpsed one.
