Guess I'll be looking for CJ, OP, and Bulky (I can take the RID Vehicon) at BotCon.

I'm still kind of hoping perhaps some of the TF Prime FE figures get released later in the Generations line, but that's likely a pipedream ;) Honestly, as much as I don't like a chunk of the design/mold changes in the RID line of TF Prime toys, I would welcome the site of the RID toys on the aisles of my local stores instead of the overflow of the same DOTM stuff that's been on the shelf since May of 2011.

Anyone else's shelves practically bare right now? My Gainesville Target and TRU have a couple of lone Generations Figures (Wheeljack, Kup), and that's it for deluxes. Voyager pickings are slim to none for the DOTM line. The closer Walmart has even diminished the size of the endcap with the DOTM deluxes.

Sure would be nice to see some TF Prime RID Revealers and Powerizers about now :-?

TRU in Wesly Chapel is practically TF-less, having tons of empty pegs and only a few straggling DOTM merchandise and maybe one or two PCC figures. Oh, and a few lone Bot Shots packs, but that's it.

Every Target has nothing but some DOTM figures that no one want, and maybe one or two Generations figures.

Every Wal-Mart is still overloaded in DOTM figures that aren't selling.

Kmart on State Road 54 has whatever DOTM side lines there were that weren't figures.

Yeah, this is pretty much a poor time to be a TF fan.

And I STILL can't find a Rescue Bots Boulder! :BANG_HEAD:

I'm not collecting the Rescue Bots - but I think I've seen every figure but Boulder. If I see him, I'd be happy to pick one up for you and send you a PM.

I've looked everywhere and anywhere I could. Out of 5 Wal-Marts, 4 Targets, a TRU, a Kmart, and a Kohls, no place in town seems to have him. Well, there's still one Target, two Wal-Marts, and two Kmarts I haven't checked yet, but those ones are pretty out of the way. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Of all six Rescue Bots, Boulder's the I wanted the most.

My Walmart is still full of DOTM, but they have put out some of the new(old) repaints of some of the DOTM figures :( Like anyone cares.

Only thing new(old) besides that is some of the PCC Wave 4 stuff showing up as special offer packs.

Also, I guess Rescue Bots is in my Walmart. I've only Seen Optimus, Bubmlebee, Heatwave, Blades, and Chase though. No Boulder. I'd buy some of the Rescue Bots if I had money, but I don't.

Other than my Walmart, most other stores are now out of the way for me to go to.

No love on the Rescue Bots Boulder yet - Target had about 6 Optimus Primes though #-o Target restocked their 3 pegs with DOTM Stuff - from ages ago: Rescue Ratchet, Air Raid, Dark Steel, and Cyberfire Bumblebee. TRU was empty except for a Generations Wheeljack. Didn't have time to hit up Walmart this time around...but it's likely the same stuff that's been peg warming since November like it has been every other time.

Hang in there Florida collectors - we'll find TF Prime RiD/Revealers/Powerizers or whatever tagline they are going by soon enough...I hope :-?

This is exactly why my location is written as Florida, the "Neglected" State. :roll:
