Went to the Toys R Us on 75th & Bell right when they opened and only found 2 Transformers: Prime Bumblebee's. So I picked them both up :grin: . Asked to see if they might have more, and no they said Bumblebee was all they had left. :sad:
Happy Hunting

I'm making a more in-depth post in the Arizona sightings thread, but I thought I'd let everyone know that there were five at the Toys R Us on Indian Bend as of today!

9139 East Indian Bend Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85250

Roll out!

Hello, fellow 'zonans! I'm a bit new to collecting, but I went around the Scottsdale area of the valley on Friday (1/27/12) using a printout of locations from this amazing website. I didn't go to every store, but I'll list the ones I did and what I found. Apologies if I don't describe them properly, I'm still learning all of the lingo!

Toys R Us
9139 East Indian Bend Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85250

Mostly Dark of the Moon movie stuff, but there were some surprises. Saw Generations Warpath, Thundercracker, Wheeljack (which you can find anywhere), and Kup. There were five Prime 1st Wave Bumblebees, which I passed up on. There were five Rage Over Cybertron exclusive sets. A couple each of Animated Rodimus and Ironhide. Some other random things; sorry I didn't write it all down, but I took a couple of cell phone shots.

From there, I went to a nearby Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and a Big Lots. Nothing worth reporting. They barely had a single TF item, and it was stuff for toddlers.

Then to the Wal-Mart on the corner of Chaparral and Pima, just west of the 101 N. All of the same stock as far as movie-based merch, but that was about it. Same with the Target in the same plaza as the Toys R Us.

A little bummed (I had been hoping for the 2nd wave of Prime figures - shot in the dark), I headed closer to home. Stopped by the Target on 44th St & Thomas Rd in Phoenix, but it was about the same as the other Target but for a lone Generations Wheeljack. I might pick one of those up just because I feel bad for how many of those I see everywhere. But then I went to the Ross next door, and... success! I walked away with Reveal the Shield Tracks, Jazz and Perceptor! :D These figures are remaining:

The Toys R Us is getting a new shipment Tuesday morning. I called the Toys R Us at Paradise Valley mall, and while they were entirely out of Prime figures, they said their next shipment of stuff should arrive on Wednesday.

Good hunting, stalkers.

No, sadly, just Bumblebees. I looked! I didn't even know about the Prime figures until I happened across a lone Arcee a couple weeks ago, which I bought.

I updated the official Arizona sightings thread, by the way. :)

Hey, stopped over @ ToysRUs on Bell & 3st and guess what. They had the Transformers: Prime Robots In Disguise toys. Looks like the 3 Bumblebees, 2 wheeljacks, 2 Cliffjumpers, and 1 Soundwave come in a box. Priced at $14.99, I was only able to pick up Soundwave. But they also had 3 Optimus Primes and 1 Megatron. I'm so pissed I'm broke, these voyagers are priced at $26.99. I would take a pic of my soundwave but someone needs to tell me how to paste it in my post. I don't know how. Happy huntin. Hope this helps. Oh, and also I stopped at the Target on Bethany & 19th and they had a bunch of the cyber verse size TF: Prime toys.

Aw, Soundwave is the one I'm looking for! :sad: Ah well, congrats to you, and thanks for letting us know! Looks like I'll be running around the valley again tonight.

Oh by the way, to get an image in your post, you need to first upload it somewhere. I use imgur.com for my pictures. Then you use the "Img" button when making your post.

Sorry for taking Soundwave, he's my favorite. I think he's 1 per box so it might take some time to find him. My main thing right now is, will Walmart and Target have them at a cheaper price. And thanks for advise on uploading image.

Whew! Just spent my lunch break running around. Here's where I went and what I found:

Target, Bethany Home & 19th St. - Tons of DOTM MechTech, but also tons of Legends class figures, including the new Prime ones! There's a single Arcee, but otherwise there was at least two of everyone. I picked up a Crankcase to go with my larger one, as well as a Flak. They also had Ultimate Optimus Prime. He was huge! Here's stock pictures:

Wallgreen's, same plaza - I scored with an RTS Mindset and a Legends class Hubcap! Only other one they had was the toaster, whose name (like the plot of the movie that featured him) escapes my mind. The rest were a few MechTech figures, that I also saw at the Wal-Mart on 35th St & Bethany Home, and the Wallgreen's on 35th St & Camelback, along with nothing else to report.

I'll try a couple more stores tonight. Good hunting, stalkers.

Edit: Oops! I meant Legends Scout class Hubcap, and Cyberverse Crankcase and Flak. And of course, the Target had Cyberverse figures, not Legends.

Also, how Transformer babby formed?
