Must... Have... Ratchet and Arcee!!! RAH!!! T.T Ah well, I'm sure I'll come across them sooner or later. I mean, its not like they'll get cancelled or anything...

I hear ya Sith. I went to the TRU on Vets last night and saw no sign of Arcee or Ratchet (the usual Bumble and Optimus stuff shelves though). Then I went to the Target on Vets and STILL didn't see any sign of those two figures.

Interestingly enough, though, was that while I was in TRU, I noticed a guy eyeing some of the TF figures and looking just as disappointed as I was. Then when I went to the Target on Vets, I saw the same guy in the TF aisle looking equally disappointed at the lack of new PRID merchandise there as well. I have to ask, was that you, Sith? If so, I was the black guy there in khakis and a grey shirt with the angry look of "wasted time" on his face, lol.

Nah, I didn't go looking for TFs that night. But the dissappointed face thing sounds just like me. When I go out looking I'll usually hit up every Target/TRU/Walmart in Metairie, Kenner, and Harahan. So I'm usually pretty pissed if I come out empty handed lol. Its funny that you mention see'ing someone though. A few weeks ago I saw a guy at Vets Target, then TRU, then Esplanade Target. He didn't match your description though. Might have been the same guy you saw.

Ah, well that must have been another collector then. As I left Target, I sort of kicked myself for not making small talk with the guy. I've never met another collector in person.

Oh, and I also FINALLY found Ratchet and Arcee at the Esplanade Target. I got the last two, though. And I have to agree with what CB said about the two figures. Arcee is surprisingly good...I actually prefer the PRID version to my FE version who will now forever be in Alt mode. Ratchet, while still a pretty good figure, is really small. The lack of paint aps don't help the figure either, but I still think it was a worthy purchase if only to complete my TF Prime Autobot cast.

Picked up Cyberverse Commanders OP, Megatron, and Starscream at the Target on Vets last night. They were at the beginning of the aisle where the TFs reside, and I almost passed them up. Now all I need is Bulkhead. Left an OP, and they have lots of the 1st wave Deluxe figures available except Soundwave. Still on the look out for Deluxe Arcee.

If any of you are on the fence about Kre-o sets (or need to complete your collection), the local Wal-Marts have clearanced the following:

Optimus and Sentinel - $30/ea
Megatron and Starscream - $20/ea

The other sets have not been discounted yet, and I'm not sure why. I had a lot of fun building some of these guys, and took the opportunity to get a 2nd SS set so I can display both robot and alt modes together.

For anyone in Lafayette, the Walmart on Pinhook had Kreo Optimus Prime (deluxe) on clearance for $10 last time I was there. Picked one up, and it's pretty cool.

For those in Lafayette looking for a deluxe Ratchet, the ToysRUs has a single Ratchet. I left the store at 9:30 PM (the closing time). I purchased the Arcee, but had already ordered Ratchet from ToysRUs.com. I wish luck to anyone who wishes to get it tomorrow. They also had every other PRID figure (wave 1: deluxe, voyager, cyberverse commander, and cyberverse legion), so if you're looking for anything in particular and don't mind paying a little more, they'll be there tomorrow.

I am going to Baton Rouge today for a charity event with the 501st Legion and I plan on hitting a couple of stores so if I come across either I will pick them up and let you guys that need them know.

Finally got a Cyberverse Bulkhead at the TRU on Veterans. I didn't notice if there was more than 1, but the other 3 figures are there and they are on sale for $9.99 (but no sale tag present). The voyager OP and Megs are also on sale for $21.99, but Targets and Wal-Marts have them for $19.99.

Also picked up Deluxe Arcee at the Target on Vets. No more left, nor any Ratchets.

Stopped at the TRU on Vets. Saw quite a few Cyberverse Vehicons for anyone interested in troop building, and there were also 2 Soundwaves. The only other notable transformer I saw there was PRID Arcee (no Ratchets). I didn't buy anything, so everything should still be there. I was looking to see if Wave 3 had showed up. Can't wait to get my hands on Knockout and Vehicon.
