BIG NEWS!

Just recieved a text from my brother with a pic of 5 boxes (2 per box so 10 in stock) of MP Primes from the Tucker TRU. He said that each box even had a TRU made label with the 119.99 price on them. He said that they had none on the shelf so when you get there, ask them to pull them down.

I went to the Fayetteville TRU and found that they had 6 MP primes out on the shelf. They also had FE Starscream, Asian Generation Cliffjumper, and some asian scouts.

I also went to Aldi (in case you didnt know, they have all Deluxe Transformers for 9.99) and they had Ratchet, Vehicon, WheelJack, Fruity WheelJack (Deadend),and Knockout.

All transformers mentioned in this post were there tonight and left. The only one I took home was FE Arcee ;).

Went to Buford TRU today, found a boatload of MP Thundercrackers hogging all the shelf space, 3 pegs of DOTM crap, the usual lack of anything good in Prime deluxe, a lone FE Terrorcon Cliffy, 2 Asia Voyager Megatrons, and an Asian Voyager Powerdive.

Went to Duluth TRU out by Gwinnett Place and they didn't have a single TF on their shelves more recent than August. No MPs, no FE, no Asian Generations. Don't waste your gas going out here.

Went to Duluth Aldi, following up on the news report of finding Vehicons there, just a few Dead Ends and Knock Out.

Went to Lawrenceville Aldi. JACKPOT.

4 boxes of Prime figures, most of them Vehicons. I think I snagged the only Airachnid though. So if you're Vehicon hunting, come to Aldi on Duluth Highway. It's beside the Mr. Clean Carwash and it's on the stretch between Riverside Parkway and Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road.

Thanks for the heads up. Will head that way after work tomorrow. Good news

Thank you so much for the information! I've been having lots of frustration and trouble with my TRU preorder, so I decided to give the Tucker store a shot. Just like you reported, there were 5 unopened boxes of MP Optimus but none on the shelf.

The sales rep got a fresh box down and I took my MP OP to customer service to see if they would match the online preorder price. The CS rep said that she could as long as I had a physical printout for her to verify the price. I have been carrying around a printout of my preorder email for the last week or so and thus she matched the price!

So, I was actually able to get him for cheaper because tax is a little less than online for a final price of $106.99! I only bought one so there should be one somewhere on the shelves and 4 cases directly above the TF section at the Tucker TRU.

I had my first nerdgasm for the first time in a long, long while today. =P~ Aldi was loaded with Hot Shots, Knock Outs, Ratchets, and yes Airachid and TONS OF VEHICONS. If you guys need any, hit them up while they are still $9.99. I feel like its 2007 again, well price wise anyway. If you have any issues finding any, hit me up. The store I went to just had grand opening and is packed out with product.

You are definately welcome and glad to be of help! Also glad they honored your original price instead of having to fork over the 120.00.

Went to Aldi yesterday and picked up another Vehicon for the ranks. On my way home from work I stopped by the Snelville Target, Snelville Wal Mart, Lawrenceville Wal Mart (on Sugarloaf and L'ville-Suwanee), and Lawrenceville Target. At Snelville Target, I found ALL FIVE MEMBERS OF BRUTICUS. Didn't buy any, since I ultimately plan to get the BBTS G2 version. At Snelville Wal Mart, I found Dreadwing and snapped him up. Nothing notable to report at either of the other locations. Happy hunting, all!

Was out and about at the Mall of GA area today. Nothing at TRU, Target, or Walmart. Went to Aldi in Snellville, they are pretty cleaned out except Hot Shot, Ratchet, and Knockout. Snellville Target I grabbed Vortex, Brawl, and Blastoff the last of each. No sign of Swindle or Onslaught.

Maybe someone else saw my post and snapped up Swindle and Onslaught before you. My condolences. Also never checked Snelville Aldi. Have you been to the one in Lawrenceville yet?

Its ok, no worries. I'll find them eventually. But the 3 of them with tax cost me pennies shy of $50. I didn't go to the Lawrenceville Aldi, but the one I did go to I hit the jackpot. Vehicons, Hot Shots, Knockouts, and Airachnids galore.
