Mirage was definitely in the Simi Valley Target (I believe off the 118 near Sycamore). I picked up one last night, there was still one more plus Jazz and Prime there. No clue if anyone needs Ricochet & Rollbar still, but the Porter Valley TRU had both, which was just remarkable since the last three times I've been there, they hadn't had ANY Alts.

Wow. Super Target in the Burbank Empire center had a pretty good selection. First Alternator Silverstreak I've seen in So Cal, the newer Universe guys (Soundwave, Magna Stampede), plenty of Bulkheads and Landquakes, Energon Hotshot (he's been rare in these parts while Towline/Downshift are pretty common). Still no combiners, dammit.

Well, this is pretty pathetic by most standards, but it's damn good for me. I haven't seen jack lately. TRU, Burbank; 1 Dreadwing, 1 Energon Ironhide. Lotsa other stuff too, some of it that I'm embarrassed to say was my first time seeing in a store (Towline, Cliffjumper, Omega). The only plus side is there are just two Alternator Sideswipes; MAYBE they're going to get new stock soon. Man, LA SUX.

Is there anyone here in Los Angeles? I haven't been able to figure out why I can't find jack in the San Fernando Valley. I mean, it's a big city, there's got to be toy buyers here. There's at least four TRUs within reasonable distance, and the most recent thing I've seen is Landmine. I've never seen Energon Unicron. Don't even ask about Kay-bee. Are things just overstocked and not moving so the releases are backlogged, or am I too slow and they're snatched up before I get here? V.
