So how were all of your respective Christmas hauls? Any TF swag?

Nothing new as far as Transformers Doc, until hasbro dumps this DOTM line, im keeping in the shadows for now, but hopping on the 3rd party band wagon again after the first of the year though. Still have to get Takara Devastator set and some Perfect Effect stuff as well and would like to have G1 re-issue Soundblaster and Twincast for my collection but all of that in due time. Oh wait! forgot something i did pick up a PCC named Ice pick from Marshalls for $4.00 and it was a stocking stuffer, not a bad figure, but its the only one i have.

This DOTM movie stuff is getting old and they need to be discounted and moved out of inventory of every store! Hasbro needs to get the lead out and start coming out with something new and not movie related.

Hey Stock,
I think the best bet if you are still looking for Junk Heap are Target stores right now. I found one at the Target in Beavercreek and another one at the Wal-Mart in Beavercreek. But seems like Target is getting newer inventory out quicker right now. I'll let you know if i come across anymore. Know anyone that has an extra RTS Wreck-gar?
Later

Thanks for the heads up Shok, im still looking here and there, about Wreck-Gar, Marshalls was getting plenty of RTS figures in stock pretty regular, but i was there yesterday and they didnt have crap! You may wanna hope on TFW2005 and post that your locally looking for a WG and go from there.

Just left Walmarts by the dayton mall and they had NO Deluxes, just HA basics and 3 voyagers and the Ultimate Prime set and thats it! on the prowl for JH and Sky Shadow.

well, went to toys r us today, nothing new. they did restock on animated rodimus prime and animated ironhide. my toys r us is pretty stupid. but, since i did not get any transformers i got some minimates ^_^

That's the Cuyahoga Falls store, right?

If so, I'm surprised a store in a metro area that large would have something so old to stock. The one in Erie PA still stocks ROTF, but it's a small store, really.

So, even the big towns are getting screwed. Now they know how I feel. lol

Lima's smaller than Cuyahoga Falls by far, but the TRU here has had the same overstock from Animated and ROTF ever since they were released as well. I always keep an eye out for any info from the stores in Toledo or Dayton, since those stores are served by the same distribution point as Lima's.

yes this is the cuyahoga falls one. i was very surprised to see animated toys. they just recently got rid of their ROTF stock.

So, I was fortunate enough to find a Prime Bumblebee and Starscream before Christmas, but no dice on an Arcee... Christmas morning, open up a first adition Arcee my father-in-law got me from online! Look at that, an in-law I can brag about! LOL I also got an RTS Gold Bumblebee from my wife to add to "The Hive". If I knew how to post PC pics on here, I would show you pics of "The Hive" .... It's actually pretty impressive, I think. I don't know if I posted yet, or not, but I found a cyberverse Shockwave (not to be confused with Shokwayve!) LOL... He's definately onthe cyberverse quality, but he's still pretty cool in the Fusion Tank mode cause he looks like the massive tank he drives in the movie. That's all from up here for now! See you round!

Well, my local Walmarts and Target pegs are completely empty of Transformers, unless you count the DOTM HA Basics which i think is overpriced and should be $5, but thats me. Not sure why things are taking so long to re-stock but if a sale is involved to get Gen-line at half price or something then i cant wait.

BTW - has anyone seen the Personal Effects Arcee? Looks damn good and cant wait for pre-order and then slap a Autobot faction on her and she is good to go!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Did anyone get anything Transformers for Christmas? I got PE Reflector coming in the mail and should be here by this weekend and after that, ordering up all 3 Fansprojects Insecticons and the rest of Personal Effects figures and i should be caught up with most of 3rd party items. Other than that i got some XBOX 360 cooling fans and a charging bay for my controllers and some cash. That sums up my Christmas and New Year!

Once I get my finances in order, or maybe from the tax return, there are a couple third-party items I want. But we got to be really careful with our money now cause WE'RE GETTING A HOUSE! It needs some work and some TLC, but we should be in by the summer. So if y'all want to hoof it all the way up here, I'd be happy to host our little get together! Super sweet Christmas present.... kinda.....

Congrats on the upcoming homeownership, LP. It's going to be a pain in the ass at times, but well worth it. Is it your first one?

Also Congrats on the new home LP, i will say this, you will find out very shortly where your money is going, and im not say to Toys either! We have been in our house for 4 years now and still doing mods and pretty much have to save money for what i want, but before that i could just buy with no problems, but having a house is worth it, but you have to set your priorities house first and toys second. And just like Doc said, it is a pain in the ass at times, but at least your not throwing your money away renting.

Which 3rd parties items LP?

Thanks, guys! I can't wait to start working on it... We just gotta wait for the weather to give us a break cause we gotta get a new heater for it... And, yeah, it's our first. We've been renting since 2001, so we've been waiting a while.
And, Stock, I really really want the MP coneheads... Also on the list are the the R.I.D. Rodimus Prime upgrade. Along with third parties, I would like to get the animated figs that come only online. But I better stop... I could go on forever. Peace, out mine bretheren!

Hey LP dont worry man, things dont happen over night with buying and upgrading a house! So dont rush and take your time on what needs to be done first. As for me, i like the MP Coneheads, but rather have all the Fansproject stuff like the Insecticons and the personal Effect as well for my collection.

Oh, no worries... We're gonna take it nice and easy. Also my wife is on the same page I am and is willing to take the time to do it right. Her dad was a contractor as well, so he knows what to do to get it up to code if it needs it..
On the TF front, no new sightings really, but got some clearance stuff. Rescue bots were on clearance for $7, so I got a Bee for my son's birthday tomorrow. (He's 4!) also, my wife found TGT-ex Tattoo Bee for only $6...
And, Stock, that's what I meant (sorry), I want the FansProject Protector Kit for R.I.D. Rodimus...Nothing really interesting, just in case you're looking.... That's all from me. Hope y'all are stayin warm!

Well went out over the weekend just to see if Target or walmarts may have anymore Junk Heaps, but found nothing, but on Friday i did get Personal Effects Reflector or they call it PF-SFX scouting force and man these 3 are bad-ass! All 3 have this individual weapons and transform into a camera! looks great with Henkei Megatron and Starscream as well. I highly suggested getting this set if the funds will allow it. No regrets honest!!!!

All to quite on this forum and have seen anything new this past weekend.

Yes, it is too quiet... I don't think any of us care, but if it helps, I did see Kmart exclusives. Some silver HA Bumblebee. There was also a Silver Deluxe with an HA basic... didn't pick them up cause I'm not really into the repaints, but they're there... That's about all I can think of. Sorry... I tried. LOL

I'm still kind of in a holding pattern until HA Soundwave comes out. I keep an eye out in passing when I have to go to a Walmart or something similar, but nothing new around my area yet.

Hey Doc, I heard about the 1 and only HA soundwave was spotted at walmarts in eaton about 3 weeks ago, but nothing local. And dont forget about RTS Perceptor i have for ya.

Hello all, sorry I been gone for a bit, been busy with computer issues and work. Hope all is well with every one and I seen I missed alot while gone. Gratz on the house Lucius Prime. hope all goes well with the repairs.

As for sighting... there's really nothing and I do mean nothing on pegs really any where around me, handful of DOTM deluxe bumblebee's. Have seen a few legends Soundwave, not to bad but holding out for the deluxe one and had seen a commander Shockwave battle-set at our Warren Wal-Mart but by the time payday came around it was gone.

Wal-Marts do have Star Wars Transformer crossovers on sale, the normal sizes are marked down to $8 each so picked up Lieutenant Thire that turns into a Republic Attack Cruiser, Captain Keeli that turns into a AT-TE and a Droid Commander that turns into a AAT, also got the new "Scout" class Trooper Pliot that turns into the new Y-Wing Fighter. Also the large Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader 4 in 1 was marked down from $40 to $20 so got the last one in Warren. Not to bad but the plastic just feels odd on them but wanted to buy some thing new, they were marked down and going threw withdrew a little due to nothing new being out there.

Also on a side note I dunno how big of gamers you all are but Star Trek Online went free to play last week, its not bad actually. A lot of ship combat, you get to make one character at first but after lv 25 you can make a 2nd on the Klingon side. the game is pretty much all unlocked for the store/missions. Mainly you can pay for more ships and some customizing of the ships, looks, ect.

Any ways I'm out, long work day tomorrow The joys of working for AT&T.

Wolf Out.

Has anyone heard of Walmarts putting out new TF stuff on January 30th? I was in Tiffin's store the other day looking at the empty pegs and spaces, and one of the toy department workers said that they had new stuff in the back that would be on the shelves on the 30th--she didn't know what specifically, though.

Also--has anyone seen a Marvel Universe Psylocke figure yet? I need her for my X-Force collection.
