Happy boy sittin right here! Now Skywarp will stop complainin about bein lonely... I told him to talk to HotRod and Grimlock, but he's SO PICKY! Now he'll one of his own to talk to. They had all of the Asian deluxes and legends. That's it... Thanks for your time.



Hey Lucius! you just now getting MP TC? Ive had him over 3 weeks ago and like you i had to get TC because Skywarp and Grimlock was lonely and Skywarp got very tired of being Grimlock's chew toy! So now, Grimlock has new metal to chomp on. Congrats on MP Prime, but like Jenus said, another week or two he should be out in mass force, but not sure how many MP Primes TRU is willing to stock and how long he will be around for either. I thought MP Grimlock was around for almost a year? And for MP Hot Rod (which I never got) I know I didnt see him much at all.

Anyone see the GDO's Voyager Hot Spot and PowerDive? and their still coming state side right? Really want those two in my collection.

Hello all, lots to report from the front lines and a broken wallet

A little happy news I forgot to report, I'm engaged now. Popped the question to misses Wolf at the Montly Crue/Kiss concert at Blussom.

Well I did a full day. Did a run threw the Canton area yesterday, found and got the China Legend Class class Motorbreath, Hoist, Thundercracker & Bluestreak in Canton Toys R Us. Picked up a DOTM Leader Class Ironhide finaly for $25 at the TJ Maxx there long with a other Junkheap from Gen then an othr pack of the Prime/Megatron Ultimate Battle pack to make a Mothormouth/Motormaster out of the prime in it. Did find and get all four of the the China Deluxe's at my local Toys R Us here in Niles. Also it the Cliffjumper the some one from TF:P FE's but a different head?

I talked to a guy at the Tuesday Morning there, he gave me an address to a toy shop in Canal Fulton 20 mins away. They have an ok amount of transformers stuff. some G1 combiners and some in boxes, three Unicrons with two being in the boxes. But if your into Star Wars, DC/Marv and other stuff they are really nice. Their called The Toys Time Forgot, There at 137 E. Cherry St, Canal Fulton Oh 44614. there number is 330-854-1700. Very nice people there, I did get TF: RID Grimlock & Wedge in package for $15 a peace, just need Heavyload and Hightower so if any one has and wants to sell please hit me up.

Last to report just placed my order tonight at http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/transforme ... PG=1&ST=NW for all 5 of the combaticons for the FOC wave 2, little did I know before I completed the order I got up get a drink and came back to the Misses in my seat and she completed the order adding a 2nd set so I have one set open and one sealed, she's calling it an early Christmas present >.<

Any ways that's been my last two days, Happy hunting all.

Wolf
Out.

Well Guys i have some news, could be scalper news at that. I called a local TRU near my work yesterday afternoon too see if they have MP Prime in stock and gave the item number to guest services and he said we had two come in this morning via UPS and a customer was here before we opened and he came in, gave the item and he bought BOTH MP Primes!!! I couldn't believe it! This guy was waiting in their parking lot, and waited for their UPS shipment and bought both!! What a slack-jaw punk for buying both and not leaving one for kids or collectors! I would love to find out who this is and do the Grimlock smash on his face!!! This just pisses me off because these scalpers wont give parents with kids and give collectors a chance to buy them. All i can is, if this scalper is apart of Seibertron and is local, better watch yourself...

That sucks Stockade, he was really waiting for the truck . . . I did not see any MP Primes at the Niles or Boardman Toy R Us's but will keep an eye out for you, they did get more of the China sets for Legends, Scout and Deluxe's so last I saw form 4 to 6 PM today they were in. My Wall-Mart here in Warren had FTP: Sergeant Kup, Rumble and Airachnid's in stick, I got one Kup and Rumble so there was two of each left.

First of all, Congratulations on the Newest addition to your collection, Wolf! And by that I mean your lady, of course! ;-J Second, Stock, if that DB is part of this site, he's cruisin for a bruisin cause you know he's reading our posts and not commenting... He's like a Laserbeak wannabe, only not cool like that cause he doesn't transform into a sweet 1980's answering machine tape!
I'm excited to hear that there's new TF:Ps out there... I think I really want the Kup. Nothing new to report, really, but I wanted to annoy the masses with my ten cents (my two cents is free....)

Congratulations, Stellerwolf! I'll be doing the same thing here soon.

Wow, I just can't believe that Stockade. I have a couple things of good news and bad news. The good news is a UPS truck just showed up at TRU while I was there about an hour ago, he had two carts full of boxes. The bad news is I have no idea what is in those boxes it could be more transformers or it could be barbie dolls. Another thing of good news is it looks like the Asian exclusive figures everyone wants came in recently, and there were three available. Again with the bad news is that those three that were available they were not on the peg hook, either someone hid them within the store, they are not out on the sales floor yet, or someone has them on a rain check or layaway.

As for MP Prime, they have not gotten any in since the last shipment, but who knows that UPS truck that brought a ton of boxes in could have a box or two of them. I talked to one of the guys and he put one on a rain check for me, can't wait for that call saying he is in. :D

By the way this is all at the Dayton Mall TRU.

Wolf--congrats, too. All the best to you and your fam!

No sign of MP Prime at the Lima TRU either. I probably won't have a chance to check again until later this coming week, but right now, they're only getting trucks on Fridays.

That pic is awesome, Dealer! LOL Well, September 24th, I turned thirty... My lovely sis told me she wanted to take me online shopping for TFs, but it had to wait a bit. Last night, she came over and we went over sites, and prices, and products, and auctions... and finally found what I wanted. She awesomely bought BTS Sonicron, Nightfang, and Savage from Robot Kingdom... How bonzer is that?! She's the best sis in the world! No joy on MP Optimus yet, and I can't believe you're seeing Rumble! That's awesome... And I went to North Olmsted TRU. Grabbed a FoC Shockwave from the shelf and asked the nice gentleman to see if there were any in the back. HE scanned it and brought out a sealed case. In it were all parts to Bruticus! Of course I had spent most of my money this pay already, so they'll have to wait. But I did grab the Vortex. I'm a pretty frikin happy Autobot right now!

LP--I think I still have my Armada Cyclonus. PM me for transaction details, and I'll verify that I still have him, and we'll work something out.

I had the same issue a few weeks ago when i spotted a bulkhead, i didnt have enough money, so i just hid it in the Barbie Isle dB Or of course you could let us know which walmart and let us have it. Either works :grin:

Hey Guys, Stopped by TRU this weekend, didnt see anything and if i did i think i would pass it up at this point cause I'm only wanting MP Prime for my collection! but i think i would cave on swerve or Wheelie at this point. Not interested in TP: Prime stuff, i mean i like, but REALLY dont have the space for it and which would cause my to sell most of my G1 and universe stuff and thats not happening anytime soon! But I did get PE Laser and Buzzer set! it came in on Friday and i must say what a bad-ass set, the wingspan on both are abit over 6 inches and just love Laserbeak perching on Megatrons arm and with both of these in energy sword mode looks killer on Nemesis Prime!!! Thats all i have to report for now, ill keep you all posted for anything new.

Faid--did you see any of the Marvel Legends Deadpool figures there? I'd heard that they had been in that location once before already.

TRU by the Dayton Mall has 4 MP Thundercrackers on the shelf and 8 more back in the stockroom! Also, they have all the China GDO scouts, like laserbeak, brawl and so on. Nothing on MP Prime yet at D-Mall Tru and Beavercreek Tru.

Bah. BAH, I say. I got to the Lima TRU about five minutes after it opened, went right to the TF section, saw shelf space for MP Prime, and was told that both had already been bought by the same person. Gah.

I hereby propose that anyone caught buying more than one MP Prime, unless it's for a sick child or relative (and can provide proof), have their legs broken in public.

Worse than broken legs, Rasta.. They shall be thrown in the stocks and watch as their prized collection of scalped merchandise is given away to the most worthy people... those whom can't afford them. Then we break his legs... Update time! I've now seen all three classes of the Asians. Picked up a legend TC as I said previously, and now a Scout Lazerbeak (because my wife insisted!) LOL I passed onthe deluxes as they're just repaints. Plus, my GEN Legends Wheelie likes to sit on Grimlock's nose! No joy on the MP Primes yet. Someone swiped the other 4 Combaticons from the N. Olmsted TRU so I was crying in the corner like a little girl... But fear not, I know when to expect more! And I'm calling Elyria TRU in the morning to see what their stock is like. That's all from the North Coast! I wish you all a wonderful weekend...

No problems with that at all, LP. Although, I gotta give props to the Lima TRU--I called yesterday afternoon and checked if they would have more coming on next week's truck, and they said that the truck from yesterday morning hadn't been fully unloaded when I was in--and that more MP Primes had been brought into inventory. Snagged mine around 3:30 pm, and all was good. She said they had something like 15 other ones in stock, I believe.

Well Guys i havent seen much lately and I've decided that I'm not interested nor getting into collecting FoC figures because I do not have enough room/space for FoC and G1, Encore, and Generation/Universe figures so something has to go and its WFC/FoC. Other than that, still looking, the GDO Voyagers Hot Spot and PowerDive, I havent see them, but ive seen the deluxes, but im after the voyagers them the deluxes. Nothing else to report, peace out!

So what are everyone's thoughts about the FOC Combaticons? They look really cool in some pix I see, both in their individual and combined forms, but in others, they look disproportionate as hell...

Hello all.
Only thing to report in stores really is my local TRU in Niles Ohio has bout 6-7 MP Primes available right now on an end cap on the bottom shelve. Picked up my GDO Laserbeak from there too, last one.

I got my package from Hasbro today for my FOC Combaticons, ordered two of each, want one for display and one just to keep sealed for my wall one I get my own room some day (hopes it happens. Well, they were all in there but for Blastoff, he's on big back order, guessing mostly cause there's not many space shuttle Transformers out there but should be mailed them next week, till then not opening any of them, but from what I can see of them in package I'm liking them but for Vortex's skirt but will have to see him out of package.

Sides that I got a few purchases threw the Buy/Sale/Trade threads on FTW2005.com coming in so will keep you guys posted and see if I made some good deals or not. Beyond that I will be stopping my Transformers buying for a bit and switching to Skylanders: Giants and the figures, got my girl hooked on the first game, I got all the figures ( sides only a few silver/gold ones) in bout 2-3 weeks . . and I still have not played the game yet my self but she likes it and I love hunting for stuff to collect so I will be having some fun.

Till then talk to you guys later.

Wolf Out.

Hey Doc, A friend and I discussed about the FOC Combaticons and he said and again this is his opinion: They look cheap and feel cheap! also their not made of the same plastic as the Generations line. Plus, in bot mode, the front part looks solid while the back looks hollow and unstable but again thats his thoughts. For me, I'm just focusing on G1, Gen-Line and 3rd parties stuff, no room for ANY type of movie or video game based figures. Not only that but i just sold my entire collection of movie figures and got a pretty penny out of them too, so this is going to 3rd party stuff or the GDO Voyagers from TRU. My days of wasting money on Transformers sub-line figures are over my friend.

I'll probably go along with your friend's opinion on this one, Stock--much as I do love combiners, I've been seriously dialing down my TF buying, focusing more on unique ones like the MP's and stuff. Thanks for the info, dude.

And if anyone's interested, I've got a complete TFC Hercules, mint out of box (but with the boxes still), for sale. PM me if you're interested!

Hey Doc, I would be interested in TFC Herc, but man he is a behemoth! I dont think i would have room for him actually, but i have been cleaning up my collection to get rid of any unwanted figures in my collection. Plus, I'm geared towards, Perfect Effects Shadow Commander and the Make Toys Battle Tanker for RTS G2 Prime at the moment. Maybe after the after the new year, I might consider him, but man still not sure yet.
Also, consider getting G1 Fort Max as well cause i never had him as a kid, but i wanted him sooo bad!
