Yesterday, I saw plenty of MP Thundercrackers still left@the Ann Arbor TRU, plus 4 GDO Megatrons. I think all of the MP Primes are gone. :-(


Of 3 local TRU's I visit frequently, I never saw an MP Prime.


The A2 location had quite a restock of them about 2 weeks prior to Black Fri. IIRC, someone posted@TFW that they had about 40(20 cases).

I went the weekend before Thanksgiving, and, counting unopened cases, there were at least half that. I wish I knew you were in the market, I would have hooked you up. Just let me know.

On a side note, the FE Voyagers ROCK. :grin:


I'm not really in the market, so no worries, I have the Takara version, and have way too many Primes as it is currently. I just would have liked to see one at retail to kind of make a decision over it there. It's been easy up until now to say I don't need it....if I saw it in the store it would be something different, I'm sure.

Ann Arbor TRU is decently stocked. Saw all the FE voyagers and a single FE Bulkhead (an amazing toy, don't pass him up). No more MP Primes, but plenty of Thundercrackers. Did TRU raise Prime's price again? It looks like it's $130 online now.

Got my FOC Starscream, Sideswipe and Magnus from HTS. Starscream is OK, but the others don't look that good. they have weird headsculpts. Don't pay too much for them.

Compared to the other toys, it seems like TF's aren't selling that well this Christmas. I hope this isn't a bad sign for future releases.

The Dearborn TRU has 3ea of the FE Voyagers, and 2ea Ultra Magnus and Thundertron. Also saw a GDO Wheelie.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

Botcon 2005--Souvenirs Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw

Botcon 2010--Souvenirs Rapido, Scorch/Shattered Glass Ravage


MISP preferred, but will consider opened NM/Complete, especially for older figures. Lots of TFs for trade! Please PM any inquiries, serious interest only!

Ann Arbor-Saline Target had a full set of Combaticons when I was there a few hours ago. Hope he stays together.

grabbed a full set of combaticons at the roseville TRU this afternoon and left 4 each of the FE voyagers, a ultra magnus, a swindle and a case of GDO deluxes.

talked to another collector who said they found a normal FE cliffjumper(not the zombie one) at a local TRU out of a current case of FE deluxes. keep those eyes open!

Was that normal Cliffjumper on a zombie Cliffjumper card? That probably would be worth something to the rare TF collector in the future.

according to what they told me it was a straight up FE cliffjumper. if i have one complaint about GDO cliff its the head and a FE cliff would fix that up for me nicely.

As of 11am today, the Dearborn TRU had 4ea of the FE Voyagers, 2 GDO Powerdives, a new case of GDO Deluxes, a sundry other stuff.

Got my latest POL last Fri, the limpid winner in ToyWorld's Grind Rod("Not Rollbar"). He's 3rd Party par excellence, in idyll, every TF Deluxe should aspire to such quality. Solid, durable plastic, a perfect homage of a 'bot mode, no kibble, a slick transformation, and a 10+ alt mode.

I can, with pure probity, say he's one of the best not-TFs out there. Highly recommended. >:oP

FOC voyager Soundwave and Soundblaster were on my doorstep after coming home from work. (Ordered them super late on Friday and was thoroughly amazed at how fast they came from TRU.com). So far they seem pretty cool. Love that they are larger than the recent voyagers we've been getting. Data disc Lazerbeak/buzzsaw are cute. For anyone else who got them, have you noticed their guns weren't included? The instructions and package art show a gun (that's a dead ringer for G1 Prime's) but none to be found on the toy. Is this the same for you guys?
