Elkhart report:

Target: Got the new scouts in, which include Elita One, Armorhide, and Skyblast!

Other than that, all you can get are Leader Brawl, Ulimate BB, and G1 Jazz.

So, is Walmart the only place where we can get Thundercracker? I never see this one at Target. I hate shopping at Walmart, and will only go there if this is the only place available to get Thundercracker.

Finally found rescue ratchet and thundercracker at 2 Wal Marts. Old movie deluxes are surfacing there too, TRU was pretty low except for leader figures and Target had only a few scouts and leaders. They do still have the adult and child's Halloween costumes along with the X-Mas ornaments.


Hasbro has the Darth Vader/Deathstar for $49.99 and if you use the 25FALL coupon you can get it for 25% less and free shipping. :-?

Was out to Target at Glenbrook and they were completely stocked with every new deluxe except bumblebee and had all the new scouts, including elita one as well.
I also saw all of the new real gears too, along with Leader Brawls and Megs, and Ultimate BB.
They are out of the G1 starscream movie redecos but have ALOT of G1 jazz.
No evolution 2 packs out and none in the building according to their scanned dpci code but mine came from Target.com already. Sweet!

Nice to see some toys on the shelf finally :)

Got a sweet update for anyone in the Elkhart area:

Target: Massive restock. Tons of BB Evolution 2-packs. Every new deluxe and a bunch of old deluxes. Plenty of Leader Brawl and Ultimate BB as well. You can pretty much get anything you want at Target right now in Elkhart, minus the Voyager class. They even had a 74 Bumblebee deluxe. I picked up the Evolution pack, along with Payload and Dropkick.

Walmart: This is the place to go for Voyagers. Plenty of Rescue Ratchet, Megatron, and Thundercracker!

Go and get em while they are plenty, one thing I've learned with this particular line of toys, is that you gotta buy them if you see them.

Picked up the evolution of a hero 2 pack at Target Glenbrook (they only had 6 sets) on Sunday when their sale ad came out. They had about everything out except voyagers. The 2-in-1 beamers are on clearance for 7.48 so I picked up the optimus, will probably go back for bumblebee as the detail on these are nice. Still have some x-mas ornaments and stockings.


I also picked up the metallic megatron and ratchet at Best Buy on movie day- they had them in their ad on the 14th but didn't put them out til the 16th. They only had 4 sets and they were gone as soon as the store opened. Their second store here sold out immediately too.



Found the robot replica 2 pack with battle damaged prime and megatron at the Wal Mart south. Had a restock on deluxes but not much else.

I'm pretty much just awaiting that final batch to be released now, with the Osprey and S7 Buggy, plus Evac and Desert Attack Brawl. Not sure when that stuff is slated for release, but I'll try and give a heads up in here when I see them around.

An apparent restock of wave 2 movie figures at the east WM here in Terre Haute. They're on an end cap in a cardboard display. That's the first time I've seen a display like that for movie figures. They also had wave 2 Voyagers, at least one of each. They also have several classic Jetfires. I picked one up to take it out of the box and display it. My wife hates my display. :lol: Those shelves that are made for storing CD's work great if anyone is looking for a way to display their figs.

I guess I'm just biding my time until the Allspark line comes out.

Good stock of deluxes, leaders, and a few voyagers about everywhere, Target has a couple evolution sets left.

Got the Best Buy Ratchet and Megatron on movie day.

Anyone seen the MP Starscream at Wal-Mart yet?

Walmart SuperCenter on CR 6 in Elkhart has tons of deluxes, including Arcee and 77 BB. Also Rescue Ratchet, and I picked up the lone Masterpiece Starscream they had on the shelf. There weren't any left, but at least they are carrying him. Should be restocked soon.

There was also an Alternator 'Rumble' for $13. I don't know anything about these things.

Found MP Starscream at the east Wal-Mart in Terre Haute. There were several on the shelf.

I've had no luck trying to find Starscream in Muncie or Fort Wayne as of late. The Wal-Mart at Chapel Ridge in the Fort DOES have an unusual amount of Cybertron Primus figures there.

Have you had any luck with Starscream yet, barricade?

Not much to report here in Fort Wayne except if you were a parent looking for a movie transformer you might as well give up 'cept for Ultimate BB,Leader Megs and Brawl, and cyberslammers.

I haven't seen MP Starscream around here yet. I did have a chance to pick some of them up while in Des Moine, Iowa a few weeks ago. In Merriville I found one in a Wal Mart I stopped at. I was lucky enough to find 10 at a Wal Mart in Des Moines and bought a couple more that I sold on E-Bay. I also got a couple more sets of Best Buy Megs and Ratchet(surprised to still find them on the shelf), sold one, still have one more set if anyone is interested.

Botcon 08 is going to be in Cincinnatti,OH if you haven't heard.

Other than that, just waiting for the stuff I ordered from BBTS.

I got lucky and my brother got me a Starscream for my birthday. He found it at the Wal-Mart in Anderson on his way to work. I've had good luck in Anderson before and suggest checking there if you get frustrated.

Today while at Wal-Mart on SR 37 I found the Screen Battle sets. They only had First Encounter and Final Stand, but I managed to get one of each. There was only one Final Stand left.
Good New Year to you all-

I was out on a brief toy hunt this evening and found Target at Glenbrook had all the deluxes(including camshaft,landmine and cliffjumper),scouts, and several voyagers as well as leaders,fabs, and the screen battles. TRU was bone dry save for one lone metroplex and a prime turnaround. It looked as if they are restaging the action figures.

I'm doing a Wal-Mart run tomorrow.

What's up with everybody else?

Today I saw Nightwatch Optimus at every Wal-Mart and Target I stopped at. Targets also had First Strike Prime and Offroad Ironhide. Wal-marts were full stocked and one even had a couple 08 concept bb deluxe along with the allspark trio of deluxes out too. Nothing on Evac :-( which is what I am looking for.

I found NW Prime at both Wal-Marts here in Terre Haute. Haven't seen much else. I found some Allspark Legends 2 packs at Wal-Mart a couple weeks ago and I bought them. TRU has restocked with wave 2 deluxes and wave 2 Voyagers. Both WM's have Voyager Starscream and Ratchet. WM on US 41 had FAB's Smokescreen, Ramjet and Silver Ironhide. I debated over those, but decided against them.

I found Evac last evening along with the new Screen Battle Sets wave 2 at the Wal-Mart on Coldwater Rd. They also had plenty of the First Strike Optimus and Off-Road Ironhide, along with the new FAB's, deluxes, and some scouts. Looks like there were a couple of new Legends sets too. No Nightwatch Prime- sold out since last week.

Meijer on Lima Rd. had Nightwatch Optimus, the first wave of the Screen Battles, new FAB's, deluxes, and the new voyagers.

Haven't seen the Desert Brawl anywhere yet.
