Of the 7 stores I went to today, only one actually had somthing, aside from that damn Prime helmet.

Natomas area Target. Hella G1 painted Jazz, some Robot replica Jazz, Prime, and Frenzy. And 4 Leader Brawls.

Still no Bonecrusher. I may have to resort to ebay for that. Cause I really don't think I'll cross him in a store.

lol, I just bought Encore Megatron today for half of that price.

torrrance wal mart nothing.... except for the usual helmets, blasters, and flashlights.... and one ult BB.

inglewood target had the newer real gears, 6 inch titanium wwi prime, fallen, and cheetor, and 12 G1 jazzes.

Encinitas Target got new stock in. Five Ultimate Bumblebees, 8 G1 Jazz's, a bunch of those Optimus Prime Unleashed figures, and 3 Leader Megatrons.

I don't think I've ever seen a Leader Megs in a retail store.

any1 senn them lattly are they still around?

Y'arrgh, Laguna Niguel Target had some Titaniums, but I nabbed 'em all, me did. They be havin' some Leader Brawls, though, an' some newer Real Gears, like Meantime an' that scurvy dog High Score 100.

I'm g'nna try an' make another run this week. Wish me luck, mateys.

Haven't seen anything in over a week as far as Movie deluxe in North Orange County, is Hasbro actually making these things ? or are they waiting for Christmas (no pun intended) This is getting ridiculous, I have been hitting up the stores almost daily, and have yet to see a movie DLX barricade or even a dropkick !

The Hasbro website has pictures of the latest Deluxe figures with a buy it sign. When you click on the buy it sign, the stupid thing says coming soon. I think that maybe at the end of this week or next week the stores will have more Deluxe figures. I have also realized that if I don’t hit my stores when they open, that I am left with ****. It is quite frustrating and I wish Hasbro would step it up and meet the demand.

plenty of arcee...longarm...payload...deadwing...final battle jazz at the TRU in Montebello, CA

what the hell wave is Dropkick in? I don't see him with the newest case assortments, unless he's as popular as CC BB, which I seriously doubt.

Dropkick is a Deluxe Movie figure. He is a Decepticon that transforms into a purple truck. The figure was released with the newer series of movie deluxe figures. For collectors such as carabuser and I, the figures seems to be a pain in the ass to find.

The last line from my previous message might be taken the wrong way. What I meant was for some collectors such as carabuser and I, the figure is a pain in the ass to find.

Yeah, I usually run SGV area Walmarts/Targets/Kmarts/TRU/Kohl's, for 2 months I have never seen Concept BB, Classic BB, Barricade or Dropkick in any of these stores, but I'm used to it now.

Now just running Alhambra Target everyday morning before work hopefully to catch 3rd wave release of movie scouts, but I know this place has a scalper who sweeps TF/Hotwheel new toys everyday morning when store opens. *sigh*

got in a scuffle with another collector/scalper or whatever the hell he is today at target(not gonna say which one). lets just say this fool likes to make moves behind your back, talks a lot of mess, flicks you off(especially when youre driving away in your car). this is a grown thirty something year old man fighting over toys with a teenager . no punches were thrown, but it wouldve been funny....

watch out guys, be careful.... people are fiending for toys these days!!

lol, I already know who he is, reading comprehension ftl. Yeah, I figured it was being released with the newest case assortment, but I really find it odd that I'm not finding him anywhere, especially when TFs like Longarm, Payload, and Arcee hang on the toy pegs for at least a full day before they're all snatched up.

That just rubs me the wrong way; why would Dropkick, a movie toy not in the movie, be such a popular one?

Weird.

Not that strange, Dropkick's a great figure.

So is Longarm, but he's not flying off the shelves.

Anyway, the Targets in Encinitas and Oceanside apparently got in a good sized shipment of Scouts, according to Target.com's stock-finder service thingy. So yeah, if you're looking for Armorhide and Elita-One, this is good a chance as any.

Dropkick is great? I have him still in Mint brand new in the box. Mabey I should open him?

those online stock finders are was off. dont be too reliant on those.

Generally, it's pretty accurate; I just bought Armorhide at the Target in Oceanside.

You’re thinking of TRU, they suck.
Target’s fairly reliable thou.

TRU has online stock search functions?

Yah, but they don't work.
