Was pleasantly surprised to find Generations Legends Nemesis Prime and Cliffjumper today at my local Target here in Wilmington. Picked those two and another Armada Starscream up (for a customization project) up, but there's a handful of Nemesises and Cliffs still there, if one's looking for them!

^ Nice, hoping they hit here soon. Most places have a lonely BB/OP sitting on pegs.

Raleigh TRU last night - plenty of Evolution Bumblebee packs and the newest custom Kreons are there.

Cary TRU today - got a MP Prowl. There are two of them left and two MP Sunstorms as well.

Got Roadbuster and Sky-byte at the Highway 70 Target this morning. There was still one more Roadbuster left.

Also pick up the Walmart-exclusive AOE Bumblebee and "Terrorsaur" Strafe 2-pack at the TTC Walmart.

Anybody got the Target DCPI number for Roadbuster?

087-06-1378, but that'll pull up all Transformers Generations Voyagers at a given Target, not just Roadbuster, and depending on how you use it, it won't necessarily tell you how many or which ones they have.

^ Yep. Using that number could get you a Roadbuster, or it could get you a FoC Soundblaster.

Best way to run with it? Look for a store that doesn't have that number in stock, then when they do, it means they've just restocked, and likely with newer stuff.

Yeah, that's how I found my Roadbuster and Sky-byte. The Lynn Road/Highway 70 Target had no stock registering on the Target website one evening, the next morning after I got off work, the website registered "in stock" at that Target, so there I went to check and found the employees stocking the toy department with a fresh new case of Generation Voyagers.

Not sure where in NC you are, massprime, but most of the Targets in the Raleigh/Durham/Cary/Apex/Morrisville/Garner area are registering either "in stock" or "low stock", and I've been to all of them at least once within the last week, and each has a varying amount of either last year's Voyagers and/or this year's Rhinox/Whirl/Doubledealers. So no telling when any Target will get a new case with Roadbuster and Sky-byte.

I've stopped checking after finding my Roadbuster and Sky-byte,and having already found AOE Generations Lockdown, Slog, and Voy. Drift, and Generations Rattrap and Tankor, so I'm taking a rest until Brainstorm and the next wave of Generations deluxes and AOE Snarl start showing up. Yes, I have no real interest in hunting for Legends Nemesis Prime and Cliffjumper, though if I do see Cliffjumper, I will pick him up. Unlike Cosmos, Swerve, Tailgate, and Skrapnel, I'm just not as gung-ho for these two Legend figures, and would rather see Gears released.

That's cool. In the past I would just call and give them the number and they'd hold the one out of the assortment I was looking for. Yeah they were that nice. I'm in Charlotte and there are a lot of Targets in easy 20 min. driving distance at the most. But I'll try that too.

New Hope Ch Rd Walmart in Raleigh - picked up one each of the two-pack exclusives. One each of Bumblebee/Terrorsaur and OP/Grimlock remains. Also grabbed the BB/Strafe/Stinger set and one of those is left. They didn't have any of the legends. They had the pegs for them but no merch.

They also have two each of Rattrap and Tankor left if anyone is still after them.

Did some runnin' around yesterday:

- Western Blvd. Kmart, Wake Forest Target and Wake Forest Walmart - nothing exciting TF wise, but the Wake Forest stores have tons of GotG ML dudes if you need 'em.

- Ed McKay's on Capital Blvd - weird, fun stuff. Universal Studios Evac for $20, hell of a deal and if I didn't already have one I'd have jumped on it. Also have a Classics Astrotrain if anyone needs a timewarp to 2006.

Thanks for the heads up. Now I've got a figure I'd thought I'd never have a chance at owning. Thanks.

Finally, finally, FINALLY found Rattrap, Tankor, and Age of Extinction Voyager Hound at my local Target here in Wilmington today. Went ahead and picked up Rattrap and Tankor, passed on Hound. I figured that I'm more into the Generations stuff than I am the movie stuff these days. There's still an extra Rattrap and Tankor still there, if any Wilmington fans are still looking for them.

Blakeney target has 1 Rattray and 3 tankors

Test post for ScottyP. Might be having technical difficulties on my end.

Now just one Cliffjumper. Picked up a pair of CJ and NP this morning when that Target opened, and another set had already been bought sometime last night.

Nothing exciting to report at Triangle Town TRU or Target. Well, I guess 3 MP Sunstorms at TRU may still be a thing?

by **FortMacs** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 4:03 pm

Stone crest target has 2 generations acidstorm and gears.

Went by New Hope Ch Rd Walmart in Raleigh this morning. About 4 or 5 each of Skybyte, Roadbuster, AOE Hound, and AOE Galvatron. Also restocked their AOE exclusives, they've got some of all of 'em except for the Kreo set which I haven't seen anywhere.

Yesterday - Bought an OP Evolution 2 pack at Cary TRU, one remained but the chrome and eye paint were kinda "meh".

Today - Saw one OP Evo 2 pack at Raleigh TRU, had good eyes but crotch chrome was weird. Probably just going to keep the one I got with so-so eyes and repaint them, easier than chrome touch up. Grabbed a Hero Masher Soundwave and Slag, didn't pay attention as to whether there were any left. Couple of MP Sunstorms. Some AOE Wave 2 Deluxes, though I think those are pretty easy to get these days. No noteworthy AOE or Generations Voyagers. All Transformers and TF Kreo are Buy one get one 40% this week at TRU, so good time to catch up on missed stuff.

Triangle Town Target wasn't too exciting, minor sale on Transformers but nothing fantastic. Nothing really noteworthy there. Did leave behind one Star Wars Black Speeder Bike if anyone is looking for one.

1st post.I live in Western NC and my hunting ground is along the 1-40 corridor that includes Asheville,Marion,Morganton,and Hickory.
This past weekend I ran into the Roadbuster/Sky Byte wave along with the Slog AOE wave at the Morganton Walmart on rollback for $19.97 each.Good prices and Roadbuster left with me.
Found Beast Hunters Voyagers at an Asheville Ross for $10.99 each.At those prices picked up the Optimus with the shield and the original Orange Predaking.Left the grey Predaking since I already had it.
In addition picked up the Walmart exclusive AOE 1 step change Stinger at the Morganton Walmart .

^ Welcome! Hope your posts help out others.

I went around a few places today since Jetfire is showing up in some parts of the state.

Raleigh Triangle Town Center area - really nothing of note anywhere. Hound/Galvatron/Skybyte/Roadbuster at the Walmart but I think those are showing up basically everywhere now.

Cary TRU and Target - Nothing noteworthy at Target. TRU has some Slogs and Drifts but they're 24.99, so no thanks.
