Just got back from the Oceanside WalMart on Jefferson.

Looks like they brought out even more stuff from the back (or just came in)!

They had 2-3 classic deluxe Mirages, Ramjet, Cliffjumper, Grimlock and I think just one Rodiumus.

Cybertron Mudflap, Soundwave, Dark Crumplezone and some other I can't remember.

The aniversary Primes were brought down from the top. There were also a bunch of Prime/Tank Megatron twopacks with Dvd and a small bonus figure on a small island display just outside of the TF section in the walk isle. Also was a classic deluxe jetfire.

Back in the clearance isle were still all the primes, a metroplex and I think a Cybertron Primus--another big guy other than Metroplex.

Some guy also had one of those giant Bumblebee toys from the movie in his hands. Not sure if he bought it or not.

There were also two alternators, Skids and Riccochet, but I picked those up along with a Ramjet. That place had been so dry for the last couple of weeks!

WOW!!! and I did. (I checked shelves and clearance sections, all gone btw).

Yeah, went checking around 3pm, only 1 Arcee and whole bunch of Wreckage, Bonecrusher, Scorponok, Swindle & Dreadwing. This Kohl's toy section is really messy, although I didn't buy any toys there but I helped them straighten their shelves, just don't wanna see these nice looking deluxe blister packages getting stepped on by little kids.

Alhambra TRU has nothing except a few Classic Scouts.

Cheers!

If anyone is familiar with the Frank and Son collectible show, then this would be a good place to pick up Transformers toys. They have a lot from the Classics line, the Movie line, Alternators line, Cybertron line, etc. ^-^ It's on E. San Jose Ave, which is located in City of Industry. Hours are every Wednesday: 3:00-9:00 pm and every Saturday: 12:00-5:00 pm. Hope this helps.

P.S. I saw the Target exclusive Starscream voyager class (G1 Colors) on Wednesday for $35.00. By the way, there is no tax. :D

-TONS of deluxes...including Concept BB, Wreckage, Arcee, Bonecrusher, ect...

The Toy section istelf is messy, but the TF's section was hardly touched at all. You dont have to settle for buying the first Concept BB you see because they had so damn many of him. I chose the best painted and packaged one IMO.

Could someone pick me up some of those 08' BB? Thanks.

Porter Ranch TRU

HURRY HURRY! TRANSFANS! Before the scalpers grab em!


That is, if you're missing Voyagers! Went there right as they were opening the doors. The Transformers isle had big brown boxes labeled, "Hasbro - The Movie Voyagers." I waited for them to open em, and it was a gold mine of Voyagers! Everyone was available except Blackout. I bought a Ratchet, since I had everyone else already.

Left overs as of 10:37:

1x Ratchet
2x Starscream
2x Ironhide
4x Optimus Prime
6x Megatron

Ultimate Bumblebee and Leader Class Brawl

Postby Sludge*loves*beer » Thu Aug 23, 2007 9:29 am

I bought an Ultimate Bumblebee from the Alhambra Target just now. The only thing that they had left was one Leader Class Brawl. The guy at the Pasadena Target told me yesterday that he would have more movie toys on Thursday. I have to go to work so I will be unable to go there. I have noticed that for the Pasadena and Alhambra Targets that they restock on Thursday and have at least something at 8 a.m. Thursdays.

Yeah I was at the same Alhambra Target around 8:10am, saw a guy walking to cashier happily with an Ultimate Bumblebee in his hands (so it is you Sluge!). The other guy got the other Ultimate Bumblebee plus 2 x leader Brawls. I was fortunately enough to pick up the last leader Brawl there.

However later I dropped by Rosemead Kmart (pathetically small & empty TF section) and Rosemead Target, and this Target still has (as of 9:25am):

2 x Ultimate Bumblebees
2 x Leader Brawls

Before heading to work I stopped by Alhambra Costco and they have pallet load of Leader Prime w/ Legend BB+Jazz bonus for $34.59 + tax, I picked up 1 set to keep MISB. Go get them if you still need at excellent retail price.

Cheers!

SO I went to Alhambra Target and found nothing. I found that sometimes they restock the shelves during the day. I asked one of the employees and he was cool enough to check the system but they had nothing. He did though say they had "some jazz deluxe figure." Told him I'll take it! And sure enough it was Exclusive G1 Movie Jazz Repaint.

Target @ Alhambra

Thanks to fellow member Achuc's advise, I checked this Target and sure enough they had no deluxes on the shelves. So I asked a team member if she could help me check their system, I was lucky I found a super friendly and helpful team member there (Thanks Pat!). We were able to locate 1 fresh case from stockroom and it was 8pcs of G1 Movie Jazz Repaint. She said these aren't out on the shelves yet because item label tags haven't been created yet. We still put them up on the shelves anyway and I picked up 2pcs. So there should be 6 more and if you are looking for repaint Jazz you gotta go fast. Good luck!

Edit: Forgot to mention, they put out 2 more leader Brawls.

I'm glad you found it! Good thing you found a good team member to help you out! Some won't. You can do the same when BB Hero Pack comes out. Alhambra Target is the way to go!

I did find a brawl today in Pasadena Target when I went to pick up meds! When you are not looking for them is the best time to look!
