Oh really? Hmm :-?


I'm gonna have to czech that out then :D I hadn't seen any nightwatches at three other walmarts i have checked already. And yes! I have seen everything except for incinerator also, which is what i'm really interested in. keep me posted please if you see any :D When does the premium line start hitting shelves?

I am not sure if you were aware, but while at target the other day, i happened across 2 new target exclusive basics; crosshairs (repainted Strongarm, who was repainted from energon) and warpath (originally cybertron?) I hadn't even heard of their existence before and i accidentally saw them.

I didn't see them at any other targets though, just one.

So what do you think about the rave? are you even into that kind of thing?

I'm interested purely in the novelty of it; and i admit i'm curious too 8)

it seems novel but i might be working in frisco or boulder, not sure..
could be interesting, but i've never heard of any of those dj's.
if i see incinerator, i'll call you asap. but yea, i have seen many of the nw primes at fry's marketplace. they also have a sale going on right now, and you can find most deluxes.
no word on the premium line, only a few i really want and it's not imperative that i find them, i mean, i have the movie line.
intersting find on scouts. if i collected them i might have more to say.

nice, nw prime is at the wally world by your house btw. i was there this morning. need to get some checks in before i decide to get him or not. he looks good in package i must say though. i think if i get him i don't know if i'll get the premium prime.. i dunno.. all the repaints, the premiums.. the movie line as it has been. not sure how much more i need after incinerator, stealth bb.. we shall see.
thanks for the info on the rave.

I was just there recently and i didn't even see any! :o

Weirdness.

I went to 1 market place and 2 walmarts last night, the ones you recommended; and all sold out!

Fry's had it for $45 :o

Stealth BB? :-?

I've seen the red allspark repaint of him so far.. hmm well i mean, not in stores anyway. Let me know if you see one of those; it seems like most places are only restocking with everything from the previous wave of deluxes. I've only seen allspark deluxes at that one target and they were pretty much gone by the time i was through there.

I'm debating getting all the premiums too. Sucks being a completist. So far i have everything relieased except 08 bb xmod rc car from radio shack, the 4 latest real gear repaints, and the bestbuy exclusives, final stand BB (the movie-scene boxes), the scorponok and blackout exclusive from Toy R Us, and.. that's all that comes to mind at the moment. I didn't think hasbro would try to milk this line as much as it did when i first decided to collect the whole thing 1 year prior to the movie. good thing i budgeted for it though :SMUG:

Just so you know, I stumbled across Divebomb, Jolt, Big Daddy, and Grindcore way out at a walmart in Higley. It is out on williamsfield road somewhere, I was with a friend and didn't pay attention to where we were going and by chance the walmart was nextdoor to the original destination. There were more left as of that time, no gaurantees now though.

no worries. i just found them at wally world at country club and 60.
also found a 5 pack of roboto heroes wally world exclusive called final battle.
haven't read anything about it yet, i'll take a pic, but it's similar to the decepticon sneak attack.
i picked up big daddy and jolt, the other two just really didn't do it for me. that thundercracker mold is one of the worst in history.
grindcore is meh. if i see him again and i'm in a buying mood i might pick him up.
thanks da

I agree about the thundercracker mold "divebomb" if you read his profile on the back, nobody likes him because of the toxic fumes he leaks from his radioactive fuel.

Personally, i think it might actually be the poop smell coming from his poop-brown paint. (and paintjob in general)

actuall, all the bio's on these wally world deluxes are pretty aweful. "jolt had his tires slashed by blackout, and it was his first and last lesson from him."
jesus, did a 5 year old write these?

went to the wally world at country club and sixty. found the two newest star wars tf's releases.. also saw more all spark power deluxes: salvage, stealth bb, but no store exclusives. glad i nabbed the first time i saw them.. other than that a few new robot heroes.. but i suspect, most wally's around here probably have the same stock. i'll check out a target tomorrow.

i forgot to answer your question in the last post, but forgot.. i got the two ultra class movie exclusives online from the website like a month ago, they arrived last week sometime..
however, a mailman buddy says he saw them at the tru off of the 101 and indian bend.
and no, i haven't see an premiums yet.. but i only want bb i think. maybe megs.. ehh.. maybe not.

I just saw some premiums @ target. weird thing was though all the deluxes were ringing up @ $6.99. what the heck? Is there a sale i don't know of going on? Or is this a store error? Are you interested in these prices? ALL of the deluxes rang up like this; less than Scouts! So, i picked up 8 deluxes and saved $24. woo! I only saw Jazz and Barricade premiums for deluxes, and voyagers were blackout and ironhide, i only picked up ironhide though. The premium paintjobs disappointed me in person. I've yet to see the others though. perhaps all the good ones had already been taken off the shelves?

yea, i'm starting to see the prem's out all over, but they don't do anything for me. leader megs would be the only one i would get, but i don't like the mold enough for it to be a necessity. rather spend my money on other things.
no animated or uni sightings yet.. however, kay bee in the mall had some repackaged older line toys in new universe packaging, as well as the micomaster jet line (superion) and a bunch of early waves of the movie line..
that's all i know at the moment. still seeing most star wars tf's all over and most robot heroes

Yeah, i was just at my walmart last night and saw premium megs and optimus and picked them up. I'm only seeing premium jazz and barricade however. Are there premium basics? I heard someone in the premiums thread say that they got basics online? :\ So yeah, i'm also pondering the premiums as well, i don't know if i should keep my originals if the premiums have better paintjobs. I might for nostalgia's sake. what do you think?

maybe the wave one releases will be worth more since they seem like we won't see them again due to the premium line.
i dunno.
i got that prime blade add on from bbts.. so that takes care of opty, but the megs.. i like the new paint, but i don;t really care that much.
haven't hear of premium basics.
that might be overkill.
gonna start checking the fry's marketplaces soon. they always get the new lines about a month early.

Just got back from Walmart in Mesa off the 101 and Dobson. They have all the Wave 1 TF Animated series. Every figure from that wave was there as of 3pm Sunday.

i went to the toy's'r'us at indian bend and the 101 and picked up all the exclusives, the two ultras: jetstorm and sky shadow and the two voyagers: inferno and erector
they had the whole shelf full of animated, which , intend on getting a few, but i have picked up some and am not happy with the figures and i wouldn't plan on getting the line, like i have pretty much done with the movie and all of classics, and star wars (my first mistake): aside from some premiums and scout and basic figs.
but yea, everything's available on the shelves.. i'm really looking forward to classics 2

At my walmart on greenfield and mckellips, I was fortunate enough to find an Animated Swoop, Sentinel Prime, the two new universe deluxes, i think i saw an acidstorm and 2 galvatrons for sure. Oh, also saw a recon/whatever/ black painted bumble bee. There were some blitzwings too. Of most interest, i saw the Universe repaint of Classics Jetfire. It was kinda snazzy looking. Went back the next day though and it was gone. aaand there were 2! :o I remember Jon talking about seeing some of these a long time ago though, so, at least i'm seeing them out here now. :)

I am beginning to see Universe Ironhide at retail; spotted at a walmart and a target.

Checked Kaybee's in fiesta mall today; they have quite a few of those center pieces for the bruticus combiner of the energon line. Might be worth picking up in anticipation of the universe combaticon repaints. if you're into all that.

I already have my superlink bruticus, so. i'm on the fence about it.

Talk me into it, kaybee's!

that and, no rumored $20 Animated Ultra magnuses to be seen. or any leaders for that matter. For $23, they had that universe optimus prime vs. megatron 2 pack though. I never liked those molds though.

Oh, and, target has their sale going on still. $8 for deluxes. Seems like the ultimate, leader, and ultra size classes are also on sale. I'll post exact amounts later.
