I ran up to the TRU on 3rd St & Bell Rd. They have quite an interesting collection of Transformers! Some surprising back stock. I actually found a Generations Blurr! There's also a Generations Dirge, and two Generations Thunderwings. They were fully stocked on TFP:RID (minus Soundwave), including Megatron and Optimus. Anyway, here's pictures:

Then I ran across the street to the plaza with the Ross, Big Lots, and Walgreens. Ross had two RTS G2 Optimus Primes.

Image

Big Lots had a couple each of these three Minicons, as well as an entire box of Wreckloose, Backstop, and Undermine.

Image

They also had these hilarious knockoffs! The back of the card has pictures of all of the knockoffs, including a couple of insect ones, which Big Lots didn't have. If anyone sees these anywhere, please let me know!

Good hunting, stalkers!

Hey guys just got home with my Optimus prime with trailer from the movie trilogy line. Optimus is pretty much the walmart deluxe exclusive. I don't feel he's worth $29.99, but I just had to have this movie trailer. The Walmart Optimus will work with this trailer but you'll have to do a little mod. G1 Optimus would work also but again you'll have to do a little mod. I was able to connect my TF:Prime Optimus with no problem, the holes are perfect. But his hitche area is about a1/4 inch too tall so the trailer isn't level. A bad shame because TF Prime Optimus and this movie trailer scale well together.

Oh I was able to get this movie trilogy Optimus at the Target on 99th ave and lower buckeye. I was lucky, they actually went to the back and got this out even though it doesn't come out till next week.

I saw the Movie Trilogy Prime at the TRU on Indian Bend & 101N today. I didn't realize how small it actually was until I saw it first hand. $35 for that tiny thing and an empty trailer? :roll:

Anyway, here are pictures of their loot: IMGur gallery

Wow. I don't get paid again until the 7th but I'm hoping they'll still have those Rage over Cybertron sets available.

They seem to move product pretty slowly, so you stand a good chance!

There's a TRU in Mesa? What are the cross streets?

Target at 44th St. & Thomas restocked on wave 2 PRID, including Bot Shots, but excluding Cyberverse. No Soundwave, either.

Target at 19th Ave. & Bethany Home is the same, but with a Cyberverse Cliffjumper and some Bumblebees.

No Ratchet or Arcee at either one. :\

Right off the 60 and Power Rd (next to the mall).

One of my best friends in High School works there and gives me the 411 on new shipments/restocks. He can hold stuff for me too but only for 24 hours.
