That seems to go without stating at this point.... :-(

I promise to post ASAP when/if I get Jetfire.


I haven't seen anything new in Rochester. I went to all the stores today, and it's still the same stuff. WM does have Chromia and the twins if anyone is looking.

Was it $35 + tax there?

Yeah but the burger king $5 coupon helps a little.

The Ice cream truck version of the twins?
Finally got a Mixmaster and when I got into my car I just noticed I bought Voyager Megatron too.
I've bought a lot of stuff so I'll post a pic of my stash sometime

Nope, it was the Trax and Beat models. No ice cream truck yet.

Any one need a HA BB? Come on down to Rochesters TRU. They have a bunch. I bought myself a Leader Prime though.

Good for you! Leader Prime is pretty awesome.

I will have to check out the HA BB. Not real sure if I love it or not. I wanna see it in person.

Savage Target had the remains of what looked like was a good selection. :D :P

Voyager Megs, Mix Master - Mudflap (hadn't seen him till now, only Skids). Had plenty of titanium Hotzone (Hotspot) and Thrust. Ravage too if anyone is looking for him....

Maplewood TRU also had HA Bumblebee so I'm guessing they're probably at all TRUs by now. Unfortunately they're a scammerific $35 bucks there, but currently you get a $10 gift card with a purchase over $30 good for your next visit. Use that to get Jetfire when he comes out...and maybe you'll even get another gift card then.

Just a few minutes ago WM north in Rochester had darn near everything that has been released up to this point. I did not see The Fallen, but that's about the only one I didn't see.

They had a couple of Jetfires and Mixmasters there. I picked up JF, so it looks like I can stop hunting. There were a few voyager Ratchets there if anyone cares. Chromia, Twins, Interrogator Barricade, Wheelie, Scalpel, etc. There was quite a bit there. Also saw several legends class movie figures as well. Just a heads up.

Ok...this is awesome...I took a drive to the Toys-R-Us in Richfield on a quest for HA Bumblebee...I got there, and there were none to be found...just as I was about to ask the manager why it was that every other TRU in the state had these figs. except for Ridgedale and Richfield, I spotted an unfamiliar box sticking out from behind some TF footballs or something like that...sure enough, there he was! I was soooo excited! I snatched him up and turned towards the registers, when something else caught my eye...TF Animated...unfamiliar looking voyager...COULD IT BE!?!?!?! Skywarp!!! I've been looking for Animated Skywarp FOREVER and thought that I'd have to buy him online...he's the only figure I needed to complete my Animated collection...So I paid for my Bumblebee and got my $10 gift card...the card isn't valid for 6 hours after purchase, so I hid Skywarp and said a little prayer that he'd still be there tomorrow morning...but the nice young lady at the register told me that she'd put my name on it and hold it for me until I came back...looks like I'm getting up early tomorrow!
I just finished the HA Bumblebee leg mod, and tonight I'm gonna break out the paints and "junk" it up.
It was a good day.

Dude! That sucks. There were only 2 Jetfires left when I got mine, so I guess someone swiped them. I am thinking one of the Target stores had JF, but I can't remember. There is 1 Stratosphere at K-Mart if anyone is looking. That was at about 2:00 pm this afternoon. That was pretty much the only thing that had though, and the deluxes were not sale priced.

RAAAHH!!!!!!!! PEOPLE post something please! I mean come on its like 6 days after Prime Riblet posted something so I am getting tired of every few times we never post sightings after a week or so. But anyway I went to the South target in Rochester and some kid really wanted The Fallen which was still in my hands but he wanted it pretty badly so I gave it to him. I've got my Alternity Super Black Convoy and have my Alternity Silver Megatron on the way so you can tell I am pretty darn happy.

Hey man, that was pretty cool of you. If a kid really wants it, they are the ones who really should get it!

Anyway, there just isn't much going on around here. I have been to all the normal places and the selection has stayed the same for the last couple weeks. Pretty much all the same......

Yeah, kind of stagnant around here too. Mostly just the same old stuff. A couple of the Targets seem to be trying to get the pegs pretty low before they restock... :-\

Still no Jetfire...... :sad:

It sucks, man. I grabbed JF almost 2 weeks ago from WM north in Rochester, but there have been zero there since. I was just in there yesterday, and they had bunches of OP's and Meg's, but no JF. I guess I got lucky-I haven't seen him at the Target stores or TRU either. Good luck. If any of you don't have either of these two Leaders, then it might be a good opportunity to take advantage of that 2-pack people are talking about on the other thread.

There is a thread in the toy discussions about some 2-pack from HTS I think. I didn't pay it much mind since I already have those two figs.
this thread: Power Up Optimus Prime Value Pack & Jetfire alone on HTS.
Sorry I didn't post the link.

Yeah it has been kind of stale on my end of the metro as far as toy shopping goes...I'm pretty sure that I have all of the Deluxes and Voyagers now except for Wheelie and Demolisher (sp?) Those are the only two figs I can't bring myself to buy...I've re-painted ALL of my movie figs except for Sideswipe and Sideways...but that's just because I haven't had the chance to get to them yet...I scored a 2007 movie "Screen Battles" Scorponok set at TJ Maxx the other day for like $12...re-painted him...I dunno...of all the re-paints, HA BB, Mixmaster, Megs, Ravage, and The Fallen look really good! I just sort of stopped looking for figures though since I'm seeing all the same over-picked stuff everywhere...I figured there'd be a front page announcement when the next waves start hitting shelves...have to have a Jolt, and the green dump truck constructicon guy...
BTW, the K-Mart on Hwy 7 and Hwy 101 is going out of business, so everything in the store is 10%-30% off...which makes their figures on par with Target's pricing...give it a couple more weeks though, and the discounts will get deeper...I did however pick up a set of Silverstar Ultra headlights for my car for like $23 which was a sweet deal...but that's for another website...
