I'll see if I can swing by any this week. The one in Maple Grove (converted Babies R Us) has been notoriously lacking in any Transformers. Maybe I'll grab lunch near Northtown this week, and Minnetonka is not far from my house.

The Maple Grove TRU/BRU is almost just right besides me, can even just walk there. But now I don't even bother step in with all the stuffs that not interest me (plus I know one of the worker in there and sometimes I try to avoid going there too often). Think I may can stop there today (and say hi.........).

Okay, the Maple Grove TRU/BRU literally has nothing new except four MP Thundercraker (on the back isle). Otherwise, pretty pathetic. Also paid Brooklyn Park Walmart a trip in hope of finding a Prime Kup. They are even more pathetic.

Wal-Marts and Targets near my took a major price jump: $15 and $17 for deluxes. Looks like I won't be getting much for the foreseeable fututre except for my absolute faves... :shock:

Yeah, there was a discussion on the front page about that. The thought is that maybe they are price jumps for the upcoming holiday season so that the stores can claim extreme sales. This might kill my plastic crack habit...

I recently picked up two Kreon Blind Packs from the Super Walmart in Superior. I got Sunstorm and Galvatron. I actually like them and for 2.97 a pop, the buyer's remorse is not there.

Maple Grove TRU/BRU surprised me with some new things. I saw the Asian import stuffs, but only the scout and legend classes. They don't even have tag yet nor I can scan the price. Not interest in the scout class but legend Bluestreak looks really, really good to me. But I just couldn't pay for a legend class at $6 if they cost the same like legion class. :-( Besides the 4 MP Thundercraker still there at the back isle, I also saw two Prime entertainment pack.

On top of the TF isle, I saw a huge box of Hasbro TF labeling TRU Import. I believe there will be more in there (such as the deluxe class) but they just don't have space to put them now.

Was at Bloomington Toys R Us and saw a couple Chinese import scouts. What's up with these? Anyway, there was a spot on the shelf for MP Thundercracker, but none present. Otherwise it was the usual suspects, like PRID Bumblebee a Soundwave, Voyager PRID Prime, Leader Prime Prime, etc. Maybe of real note is that they have Classics/Generations Kup and Wheeljack in case you missed them. And they are $12 instead of almost $20.

It's been pretty quiet on the TF front. Good for the wallet...

Amen.

I was in Rochester and ended up at both Targets and both Walmarts. Nothing of note. The TRU had at least 3 MP TCs and the imported scouts (picked up Motormaster*).

Most of the deluxes were around $15.50 like we've been seeing. :sad: I have seen a the Leadclass (?) Darth Vader/Star Destroyer for around $30 at multiple Targets though. Didn't he used to be $40?
