A buddy of mine found wave 1 at Walmart on Greenback last night. I'm not able to go out until my lunch break today and perhaps after work if I don't find everything I want by then.

Well Revenge product is now out at Target in Upland, CA off the 210.

I went just now and picked up Soundwave, Rampage and The Fallen. They had everything out from scouts to leaders, role play to powerbots. I noticed they didn't have Demolisher or Starscream voyagers (the ones I really wanted).

Well my lunch trip was a waste. Stopped at Target madison (Sac) and there were only empty pegs, bare shelves and the May 30th sign. Looks like they are sticking to tomorrows street date. Stopped by Country Club Walmart and the employee was just starting the reset. He said he'd be done in a couple hours so I'm going to head back after work.

Found Waves 1 and 2 Deluxes as well as a bunch of Voyagers (mainly saw Prime, Ironhide, and Starscream, though there might have been more, wasn't looking) at Laguna Niguel Wal-Mart. Note, they don't have any Leaders.

Sideswipe kicks ass.

I got mad scoreage in the south Bay Area. Walmart and Target of El Camino in Mt View stocked, Leaders, Voy, DLX, and Scouts. Super Walmart in Gilroy had all of that plus the wave 2's I beleive. Was able to get a Skids and Chromia. Thay also had a lil truck that is supposed to be a RC car and a Jazz repaint. Sorry not my best spelling and run on sentences. My wallet is sad today. Happy hunting partners!!! :APPLAUSE:

Also a side note GayRUS of 85 is supposed to have some preview of the toys tonight. Lame I already have most of them. Way to be behind.

well I went back to Country Club Walmart and they were flooded with wave 1. Picked up Sideways, Sideswipe and Soundwave. Still not sure about keeping Soundwave. For such an iconic character his figure is a big "meh". Gonna head out and look for some wave 2 in a bit.

Went to Target Madison and scored Wheelie, Chromia and Skids. So I may be all good for now. I think I may have to see Voyager Fallen in person to make a decision on him.

Laguna Niguel Target has Scouts, FABs, Gravity Bots, Wave 1 Deluxes (no Soundwave), Wave 1 Voyagers, and Leaders.

Prime is awesome. He's got an absolute presence on my shelf.

I went to TRU Arden at opening and there were only two other people there and they were Hot Wheels guys. The employees were just putting up the Transformers display. They only had wave 1 voyagers and deluxe. They had the Whirl and Bludgeon exlcusives too.
There have been reports of TRU's on the east coast having voyager wave 3 and 4

News Credits: 7 · Sat May 30, 2009 1:08 pm

i was at TRU yesterday when they unpacked the palletes.

the voyager cases marked W1 include

prime
demolishor
ironhide
starscream

the voyager cases marked W2 included

fallen
ratchet
ironhide
prime

the had 4 wave 2 cases and like 10 wave 1 cases... pretty much if u see racthet than they have or had fallen.

wave 3 includes mixmaster and statosphere i do not know the other 2 in the case, fallen could be one or it could be starscream and demolisher.

when i was there they brought out 3 palletes, they had enough room for palltes 1 and 2... so it is also possible ur tru has stuff in the back still since there is simply not enough room to put out everything they got..

Well I think Skids isn't at the mass release level yet. Some stores seem to be putting out later waves now and some don't.

You'll just have to look behind every peg to see if you see Skids/Chromia or whatever you might be looking for.

I scored Mixmaster today but no Stratosphere and both are Wave 3 Voyager

Sat Jun 06, 2009 11:06 pm

Im still looking for Mixmaster but the Target at the Newpark Mall in Newark had the wave with Chromia and Skids. So far the only store in this area where I've seen those figs. They also had a couple Smokescreens [jazz repaint].

Has anyone seen Soundwave in the Los Angeles area lately?

Wed Jun 10, 2009 1:29 pm

Just got back from the Target at the Fremont Hub. Bought the last Mixmaster and a Voyager Megatron. Still had one more Voyager Megatron left.

TONS of Soundwave and Bumblebee deluxe

Coolpop, how's it going. Yes been on hiatus on transformer for sometime, finding stuff here and there. Hope all is well.

Hit the mother load...Found Today, Alhambra Toys R Us had a full basket of wave 3 (at least 6-5 boxes worth) with some pegs and basket of voyagers

Found:

Deluxe Ravage, Skids, Bumblebee with cannons, Wheelie, Chromia, Interrogator Barricade, Mudflap, Desert Brawl, Rampage, Breakaway, Smokescreen.

Voyagers: Fallen All gone, optimus, Ratchet, starscreem, demolishner

There were plenty when I left. But I did see someone else start to pick at them. Picked up 1 (and extra Ravage and Mudflap) of each Deluxes, plus Toys R Us has them on sale for $7.99 for deluxes and voyagers for $17.99... :grin:

a good day.

Nice find. I'm hoping wave 3 shows up at TRU's here before the sale ends on Saturday

Wed Jun 17, 2009 1:46 pm

PLENTY OF FALLEN FIGURES AT ALHAMBRA TRU. I SAW AT LEAST 12! PICKED ONE UP....HURRY SAW THEM AT 10:30 THIS MORNING

Saw it today at San Jose Target (Westgate).

Picked one up, but am ultimately disappointed. Superion mode is poorly designed so that his legs cannot stand straight next to each other, as they are too wide. You have to bend them at alternating angles and place him in a slight crouch. The exterior add-ons for feet and hands especially are poor, claw-like excuses and the limbs are basically two variations of two molds, making for 3 unique sculpts rather than 5.

Still, the $29.99 price is much better than BBTS's $60 price.

Thanks for the reply. I saw in the Gilroy walmart they have the Starscream repaints. First movie mold painted like Skywarp and Thundercracker. I dont know why they didnt use the new mold. Looks really crappy in bot form compared to the new stuff. Also target in Mt View had wave 3 DLX out.

Just picked up a Superion set yesterday at the Target in Livermore. I've been looking for these for a while but never found them so I finally wrote down the dpci 087-06-0146 and typed that number into their price checker/stock checker and found some in stock [I've been to a few targets where you can only scan and can't type in numbers manually].

Try putting in the DPCI num for the Superion/Bruticus set [I think they share the same DPCI code though]. It seems a few targets have them but just not out on the floor. Hope this helps!

Has anyone found Voyager Mixmaster in the East Bay? Specificly Medesto, Stockton, Brentwwod area? I'm going to see the movie again Friday and then its toy hunting! Any idea when Devestator is coming out?
