Well after my bday today I raked in $227. So I went to the Cloquet Walmart and the only thing new was CV vehicles. So after getting home I decided to make an online purchase and snagged TFP AM Breackdown. I want to be safe just in case Hasbro only puts out a repaint.

Now what to do with the rest of my money?

Good idea, but I'm thinking of getting sdcc bruticus.

I could use money...maybe in exchange for happy thoughts for the next two years?

Would you consider an expensive third party product? I don't have the yellow Constructicons (I'm blanking on the name) but I do have Hercules, which is awesome! There's some pretty cool masterpieces coming. How about the re-issue of Sixshot?

Though the Bruticus might be the best call. I can't really tell right now if that is going to be da bomb or a big bomb. I have FansProject Bruticus which is so awesome it hurts.

I just got my ship notification for the Fall of Cybertron deluxe wave.

Voyager Bulkhead and SS have made it to the Wal-Mart in Shakopee. Nothing at the Target in Savage though.

Brooklyn Park Walmart has 1 WJ with Hammer and 1 KO with Driller. Got them both for my son. Nothing else and I'm not keep track of Bot Shots.

Just got my Breakdown yesterday and it is awesome. If you like the character he is a must buy. The one downside to me is the stickers.

With the rest of my money I managed to get a preorder for G2 Bruticus off of Amazon.

Now with the leftover I'm going to get some Foc deluxes if stores had them and not just tfp bb.

Good choices. I'd say that was money pretty well spent.

With the news this morning that Unicron and Breakdown are not headed to the US, I checked BBTS. The Arms Micron Breakdown is up for pre-order, but first one is sold out. Unicron is sold out too, as a preorder. That's okay by me as I wasn't that excited about it anyway.

Shelves have been pretty disappointing. I almost checked out the BP Walmart for the playsets, but I'm just not sure. Nothing but botshots, all the cyberverse I already have, and a gazillion Bumblebees. If I remember correctly, the Brooklyn Park Target has nothing but deluxe BBs to the tune of 9.

I'm not liking that I have to get most of my stuff off of the Interweb. I used to really enjoy the hunt.

Burnsville TRU has FoC Optimus, Jazz, and Shockwave.

Same here.

That's good news. Even though I'm not buying any of them. But it's good to see something other than Bees.

I'd recommend Shockwave. I'm pretty impressed with him. OP and Jazz are surprisingly disappointing.

Shockwave is my current fiddle Transformer as I try to do my homework.

Thats good news. I hope they get up near Duluth soon.

Also has anyone seen TFprid deluxe wave 4? I haven't seen anything wave 4 up here besides some wave3,2, and bb.

I already have my perfect Shockwave. :grin:

Actually I'm thinking about getting his retool - Fireflight if I ever see one.

You mean Air Raid? (See the pics from SDCC.)

I also have the Shockblast mold, and what you did was outstanding!

That's right. Since when they changed the name? Well, I got it from TFwiki so they must not change there yet.

by **STINGRAY749** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 2:59 pm

Found Airachnid and Deadend at Hermantown target. There's still one Deadend there.

I think they changed it at SDCC. It caused a bit of discussion in one of those threads. Personally I don't like the change. It probably has something to do with trademarking names or some such...

Well to superior target to look for Foc figures and actually went home with dotm leader sentinel prime. The cool thing is that it was on sale for $20, so I grabbed it since I didn't grab him when he was out last year. But when it rang up at the register, it was only $15! I just couldn't believe the steal it was. There's another sentinel there at the same price.

by **Iron Prime** » Mon Jul 23, 2012 6:42 am

Nice find! Congrats! He is a good figure - even when bought at full price. :-)

Slightly off topic:
Is anyone else looking for the new TMNT figures? They supposedly released on the 19th...

Wow! Plymouth Super Target surprised me with a lot of new stuffs. That's really good. They have 2 Powerizer Optimus Prime, 2 Powerizer BB, 3 Cyberverse Optimus Maximus, 2 Knock Out, 2 Hot Shot, 3 FOC Optimus Prime, 3 FOC Jazz, 1 FOC Shockwave, and some new Bot Shots box set. Even though bought nothing, I'm glad to see something new.

Don't know who you are looking for but I found a lot of them there.

I actually found them the other day - forgot to say so though. There is a thread about the new TMNT stuff in the general discussion boards. The turtle figures are pretty top notch though imho.

Just got back from Duluth Target, and I found FOC Optimus and Jazz, Cyberverse Optimus Maximus, , PRID weaponizers Prime and Bumblebee, and the new Botshot six pack. Naturally, I had only enough to get rabbit food that I was sent to get.

Nothing new at Clouqet walmart except that someone actually bought a prid bb.

Off topic: Iron Prime do you have the DCPI number for the new TMNT figures? I the targets around here are holding out on them.

by **prowlalpha** » Sun Jul 29, 2012 7:50 pm

As a completionist, I did buy PRID BB today at Superior Target. Other stuff I got was PRID Dead End, which I love, and two Cyberverse figures of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime.
