Indiana Transformers sightings

Postby Metal » Sat Aug 18, 2007 3:48 pm

South Bend regional here, all I can find still is just small amounts of movie line figures. Local Targets have a good amount of scouts, particularly Hardtop, Skyblast and Clocker. Also there are a few Voyager Ratchet and Starscream, and Deluxe Wreckage...<<<<<<<<<< plenty of these. Unleashed Prime is stocked good as well, but I won't buy it at $24.99, waiting until clearance time on that one. Still waiting to see some of the new wave at Target, I really want Leader Brawl and the repaints.

Walmart = Swindle.

Kohls = No toys at all that I could see, never seen toys in this store before, I was surprised to see posts with people finding Transformers here.

Meijer = Have not tried this store yet, anyone find anything here?

Indiana Sightings

Fort Wayne here. All the chains including TRU have been very dry for weeks. Target near glenbrook had at least 7 g1 starscreams left but are out of the g1 jazz ( I got one Thurs and left 6-7 hanging on pegs) as of today. They did have 2 Leader Brawls and 2 Ultimate bumblebees (got one of each) and a small assortment of deluxes-dreadwing, etc a few scout classes as well. Walmarts have nothing at all or just alot of old series out.

I just hit that Target on Saturday and still one Ultimate Bumblebee. Still no G1 repaint Jazz :cry: but I did get a G1 repaint Starscream. Still had several of those left. One deluxe Dreadwing and the rest of the deluxe pegs are empty. Nothing at any Wal Mart or other stores north of Ft Wayne either. Don't waste time looking yet until they get the new shipments. The good thing is, when the new shipments do finally hit the market will be saturated and we'll be able to get everything were missing now.

I was at the Walmart on St Rd.37 yesterday and they had at least 4 voyager primes and 3 voyager megatrons, plus 4 Ultimate BB and 1 of every new deluxe except for concept bumblebee. Left everything except for dropkick and final battle jazz (have the rest). Kohl's next door had (believe it or not) all the 1st series deluxes including 3 bumblebees. Guess nobody thought to look at Kohl's, they aren't big into toys around here.

Hello. I've been in lurk mode for the past month, but I've finally decided to register. Anyway, I'm in Terre Haute and there's hardly anything around here. I did find Deluxe Arcee, Concept BB and Dreadwing at Kohl's, but they've disappeared. I went to the Vincennes Wal-Mart and found two leader Brawls and one Ultimate BB. I bought a leader Brawl after some debating. My wife found Longarm, Dropkick, Rcon Barricade and Payload at the same WM last week. They had no Deluxes today though.

I stopped at the TRU in Terre Haute on the way back and they haven't had much lately, but I thought I'd still check. An employee said they should have some Movie Voyagers on Friday, but he didn't say which ones if he would even know at all. He said the Deluxes were on backorder. There were some people from Hasbro there too, but I didn't talk to them.

Hi TF fans,
I stopped at Target in Elkhart, IN today, and they have 2 Leader Brawls, and about 12 G1 movie Starscream.

They also had Clocker, Skyblast, and Strongarm movie scouts. Plus some Optimus Prime Unleashed.

Glad to see some local stores getting some fresh stock in, especially the Leader Brawl! I bought one, that's why there's only 2 now. :grin:

PayDay!!
After weeks of nothing like everyone seems to have experienced, I found the G1 repaints of Starscream and Jazz at Target in Castleton (Indianapolis) along w/ Leader Brawl and at Toys R Us they had redeco Barricade, Dropkick, Payload (I think I got the last one of him), Dreadwing and leader Brawl.

Target in Elkhart/Mishawaka areas now have some Dreadwing, Longarm, Recon Barricade, and G1 Jazz repaints in stock!

This is in addition to still carrying Leader Brawl, and G1 Starscream repaints.

No 08 Bumblebee yet though. :-(

Also saw some Titanium Ultra Magnus and Starscream.

Stopped by Target at Glenbrook and they have Leader Brawls, Ultimate Bumblebee, G1 Starscreams, G1 Jazz repaints :) only deluxe was dreadwing, few scouts and real gears. Walmart Southtown had nothing but old stuff, K-mart across the street had all voyagers but prime and blackout. TRU had Ultimate BB, Leader Brawls and the legends 5 pack exclusive. Had a few robot replicas, legends, and some classics (ramjet, cliffjumper, mirage and a few jetfires) Had a decent selection of voyagers, titanium 2 pack www optimus and megatron.

I'd been seeing a good amount of figures up until last week. Someone or several someone's has come through the Kokomo area and cleared out most of the Transformers. Marion and Muncie still had several figures when I was there this weekend but I don't have an exact list. However both of those towns had a good selection between their Walmarts, Meijer, and Kmarts.

If anyone is looking for anything specific let me know and I can keep an eye out for you. I do a lot of traveling around so it's possible I can get it to you for just cost.

I have a lot of friends in Terre Haute, Vincennes, Evansville, and Muncie so I'm there as much as time and money allow.
