A post for people in the South Bay not to go.

TRU El Camino - nothing but new hunt for Decp. repaint crap.

Target and Walmart Gilroy --- nothing new at all. Still Movie 2 crap.

TRU Blossom Hill -- mild success WFC Prime and Bumble Bee. Not sure if there is any more of the generation
line because some other collector was on the phone taking up the space. Also Voy. Seabreeze and others.

TRU Winchester--- much like El Camino, hunt Decp. crap.


Hope this can help someone out of a drive. Sorry for poor spelling or incorrect names. Have been out of the collecting game. Damn new game got me back into it.

Not sure if this is posted yet.

At Toys R Us Northridge 5681
11460 PORTER RANCH DR
NORTHRIDGE, CA 91326

This is the Toys R Us beside Best Buy at the big shopping center/complex at porter ranch (not sure about the area in general since I don't live there)

Saw WFC Optimus Prime and WFC Bumblebee under the shelves of TF:WFC in the game section. Bought one of each figures, but in my hurry to buy them I did not count the remaining ones.

Also saw some Hunt for Decepticons figures at the TFs shelves at the action figures section. Did not really looked at them but I saw:

1 Deluxe Ironhide
1 Deluxe Jetblade
Unknown number of Deluxe Class Sea Attack Ravage
3 Leader Class Optimus Prime with the hooks
1 Leader Class Starscream (wanted to buy him)


Also saw some Power Core Combiners, but again did not really looked at them, I just saw:

At least 1 Huffer w/ Caliburst
At least 1 Searchlight w/ Backwind
At least 1 Smolder w/ Chopster

And of course a lot of Tuner Mudflaps and some Dirge from NEST and some Fast Action Battlers

Not really sure, but I think I also saw 1 yellow Voyager Class Long Haul, and some Toys R Us exclusive G1 Perceptor
reissue



P.S. : Cannot add a new store to the Sightings section of the site, have tried a few times.

Toys R Us in Corona, CA had fresh stock of Generations, 2 Seaspray, 1 Ratchet repaint, 1 Payload. Also had a few of the PCC figures, no 5 packs though.

Toys R Us in Riverside, CA had 3 or so Battle Hooks OP, a couple of HFTD deluxe figures, nothing in terms of Generations. (side note: they also had the new Star Wars series figures)

I just want the 2 PCC 5 packs now until the next Generations release.

EDIT: You can scrap the Corona sightings, went back today and every but 2 WFC Op/Bee were gone. Guessing a scalper got there because it was completely cleaned out.

TRU in Covina had Generation Thrust and Drift as well as WFC Prime and BB in the video game section and 3-4 TFA Arcees.

Still looking for the new Star Wars AT-AT at TRU. I asked when they will get a new shipment, they said their next truck comes today and should have a restock in the morning.

Toys R Us in Industry has Animated Ratchet, but no Animated Arcee. Has old ROTF toys and (1) HFTD Battleblad Bumblebee. Lots of leader Starscreams.

Looking for an Animated Arcee. Anyone seen it?

I ended up just ordering all the Generations figures online, since I was tired of wasting time and money driving around, but I guess I still have to hunt for the Animated Arcee.

(Wasn't going to get it, but love playing Arcee in War for Cybertron Escalation Mode!)

Picked up Power Core Combiners Double Clutch with Rallybots at Target in Rancho San Diego, CA. Zero remaining from what I saw but they had plenty of the other PCC multi-packs. They also had Generations Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Drift, and Thrust in stock. As for HFTD line, it looked like they had the entire line in stock as well.

This is not really a sighting but Sears Essentials is having a clearance sale on discontinued Transformers (such as the Animated line). I bought a bunch of Animated figures for 50% off. Pick up a Voyager class Starscream and Deluxe class Jazz, Blurr, and Soundwave among others. There aren't any left in the San Diego area but you may still find some left in other parts of California.
