BSI sounds good. I have been knowing Jason for over 20 years now.

Oh I saw that green plane @ Target last night too.

Thanks for the heads up Sith. I'm going to check there today. I've been REALLY busy this last week because the wife and I decided to buy a 6 week old puppy last Friday. She's a cute pup, but geez, it's like we literally have a baby. What with all the pooping, peeing, and crying she does.

So yea, I missed the meet on Sunday because I had bags under my eyes and was drifting in and out of sleep the entire day! Heck, I haven't really even been on the internet too much this past week!!! Lol. I can't wait until she's 4 or 5 months old and potty trained...

Hey Wolfy, the meet is 6 days from now, not yesterday.

But if you're still having puppy problems, I understand.

Oh great! Yea, next week should be fine. It's just a matter of getting her paper trained and my wife wasn't home last Sunday so it was just me and Bella (the dog).

Just got back from TRU on Vets. They had the wave 1 deluxe Prime figures. Scored BB and Arcee, but left Starscream. Better hurry, it's crowded in there and there's only 1 BB, 1 Arcee, and 2 Screamers left (employee told me that was the only shipment they got). So yea, no Megatron/Prime 2 pack, and no Voyagers...but the deluxes are really good figures. I'm in love with Arcee's mold! :KREMZEEK:

Oh, there was also a few Cannon Force Ironhides scattered around.

I just got home from Target (had to run an errand) and FINALLY found Darksteel :D . Also saw his wave-mates and Cannon Force Ironhide there.

just in case you guys are interested! take a look at my for sale thread. Of course I would lower the price to local due to shipping being cheaper.

Stopped by Lapalco and Vets TRU today. Lapalco didn't have anything. Vets had all of the Wave 1 TF Prime toys. 4 BB, 2 Arcee, and 1 Starscream.

Good to know the TRU on Vets is getting more shipments of Prime toys. I got mine over a week ago. I'm still waiting for Voyager Bulkhead and Prime as well as Cliffjumper.

Also, has anyone seen Skyshadow and Junkheap? I've been looking for those guys for a while with no luck.

Thanks for the update. I'd gotten BB and SS from the Vets store two weekends ago, and saw that someone found the Prime entertainment pack at another TRU - so there's that and an Arcee needed.

I haven't been actively searching for anything, but did receive my shipment of SkyShadow and Scrapheap from TF Collector's Club last Friday. Other than new Prime figures, not really looking for anything at retail. This is helpful, as a lot of Japanese exclusives and 3rd party products are out now and for the next few months (think various Devastators plus the usual suspects).

Was at the Wal-Mart in Algiers last night, they had just gotten their new Generations shipment in with Sky Shadow and Scrapheap (I picked up a junkion for myself, 1 still there). Also had DOTM Leader Ironhide and Voyager red Ironhide.

Few more Steamhammer combo packs with PCC added on.

Went to the Walmarts on Vets and West Esplanade and found nothing aside from that new movie legends 5 pack (with the green Powerglide) at the one on Esplanade. However, the Target on Vets had 2 sets of Junkheap and Black Shadow. Bought one of each so as far as I know, there's one set left.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all got what you wanted.
Got a quick update. Stopped by TRU, both Walmarts, both Kmarts, Target, and TJ Maxx in Metairie this morning. Every store was pretty much void of transformers. Just a bunch of the usual shelf warmers.

I need to check this out tomorrow morning! I been looking for junkheap and the new prime toys forever in Baton Rouge.

This isn't a sighting but I just got my custom Omega Supreme today. I love this thing and it fits in with my classics so well. Here is a size comparison next to my FP not insecticon and MP Prime.

So the Prime: RID line has been hitting the shelves in other states. I got TRU's SKU number for the deluxe and voyager figures. Voyager SKU is 362813, Deluxe is 363356. I called the TRU on vets and the woman said it showed up as "Manifest Pending" which means that the company (Hasbro) hasn't started shipping them the figures yet.

If you're in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, or some other city in Louisiana, I suppose it can't hurt to call and check to see if the figures are at least being shipped to your local TRU.

I've been checking the TrU on Vets every now and then and it's as barren as ever. However, I've been hearing rumors about Target getting the figures (in California, at least). I'm going to check there this evening after work. The DCPI is 087-06-2384 if anyone gets near a Target before I do. From what I've heard, there's apparently a street date of February 26 for these figures. That being said, it's probably best not to ask a manager about the figures. Rather, just ask someone who looks "new" on the floor about the figures.

Hope this helps guys. Been pretty dead here lately.

I've been checking the sightings forums on a bunch of different Transformers sites (I REALLY want PRID Voyager Megatron, lol). From what I've read, the Target on Ambassador (I believe that's in Baton Rouge) has them at the store, but you have to ask them to get the figures out the back.

I checked out the TRU in Baton Rouge, but the Transformers shelves were pretty empty. No new stuff at all. Hopefully that means they'll be getting some more stuff in soon.

I also checked out the Target in Baton Rouge (on Siegen) and they didn't have any. I think the Ambassador Target is in Lafayette maybe.

TRU in Marrero is pretty bare as well. Unless you want a Generations Wheeljack!

Oh, maybe Ambassador isn't in BR. My wife used to go to LSU and she said she thought she remembered a street called "Ambassador".

I've also been checking stores in New Orleans with no luck. TRU is so bare that it isn't funny, and I could say the same thing about every Target and Walmart I've visited as well. It's really baffling how these stores have been barren since Christmas! Hell, I can't even find the last 2 Rescue Bots my nephew needs.
