Thanks for the heads up. I picked up OP and Jazz. Although I'm thinking that I won't buy TFs from TRU anymore. $32.60 for 2 small deluxe sized TFs is just way too much money.



They are 14.99 @ Target too..

I went to the Marrero TRU last Thursday and only saw FOC Jazz. Very unimpressive in-person, but I've got one coming to me once the Bruticus wave gets shipped. Too bad I still have to hunt for Shockwave.

Since a few of you have been visiting your local TRUs, I'd just like to mention that if you sign up for their rewards card, you get several discounts via e-mail and in postal mail. I just used a 20% off single item to get that LEGO Vampyre's Mansion I mentioned last time. I can't wait to open it up and build. Anyways, something like this helps if you find a few new figures (or the new Kre-os being sighted) and makes purchasing more inline with Walmarts/Targets/K-Marts.

I have been signed up in their rewards program for a couple of years and have not received anything.

Try going to their website and validating your information or give them your e-mail address. I rarely get offers through the mail anymore (but did get a catalog earlier this month with two nice coupons), but it seems I get e-mail from them 1-2x a week. The e-mail had a multi-purpose coupon depending on what/how much you purchased, and I got 20% off a single $75+ item.

Just got back from Target on Manhattan, no new TFs but I did pick up my second Kre-o Megatron. I'd like to keep this one in alt mode and make a trailer for him. Walmart on Manhattan I finally found (and picked up) Cyberverse Ultra Magnus and Dreadwing. No more of these in stock, but that Nightwatch Optimus is still on the shelves. Nothing recent from PRID. I also picked up LEGO Wolverine's Chopper Showdown set with Deadpool. I'm looking forward to the new Legends DP, especially the X-Force version. Also picked up a 3-tier white spice rack to better my shelved figures.

FINALLY got my hands on a Fall of Cyberton Shockwave. I went to the Target on Vets and had to give them the DPCI. They pulled a bunch of figures from the back, so they should be on the pegs by now. Not sure how many Shockwaves there are to a case, but I only bought one and left. It makes no sense to me how they can have barren pegs, yet a ton of stock in the back.

Anyways, Shockwave is an awesome figure. But, is it just me or does the plastic quality kinda...suck? I'm posing him with my United Darkside Megatron and Black Convoy and the quality difference is like night and day. Almost feels like a plastic a 3rd party company would use. :???:

Just got back from my bi-weekly trip to Metairie.

TRU on Vets had an Airarchnid, 2x Stealth Bumblebee, 2x Dead End. No FOC in stock. Also had Kre-o Devastator and the Knock-Out/Wheeljack set.

K-Mart on Vets had the rest of the new Kre-O sets, some older PRID figures, both Prime and BB weaponizers, and the Optimus Maximus set.

If anyone wants to hook me up with FOC Shockwave, I'd be very appreciative.

Aww man, sucks that I didn't know you were interested in Shockwave. I had Target open a box for me on Tuesday and there was an extra Shockwave in there. Had I known you wanted it, I would have bought it for ya. I went back to Target today to see if they had done their fall reset (they didn't) and if they had the new Kreo blind bags (again, they didn't) and all they had in the way of FoC were 2 Jazzes and a Prime. I'll keep an eye out for Shockwave for ya since I'm still going to be hunting down those Kreo blind bags.

Thanks for the assist, just wanted to thank you for the offer and to announce I'm no longer on the hunt for Shockwave. BBTS just released news about the FOC case revision with all Combaticons and one of each OP, Jazz, and Shockwave. So, I'll have to wait another month, but no problem with that since I already had the case reserved.

I didn't do any hunting this weekend, but was floored by the announcements that came out of TFCon.

No problem, glad to hear you're going to be getting the figures you want. I've still been hunting for those blind bags and have yet to find them or any sign of new shipments containing FoC Shockwave. It's weird. It's like the stores in this area got ONE shot at FoC wave 1 and they disappeared into obscurity.
