Hey Mugen, I was at Alhambra Target this morning around 8:10am, and I know the guy who has '08 CC BB in his hand, he's actually pretty nice, if you tell him you want the figure, he'll most likely let you have it. You must've counted me in as one of them 3 scalpers.. muahahaha, I was the one wearing black World of Warcraft hat, I saw nothing new at TF section and joined them at the clearance aisle, they are doing nice 75% off on a big number of toys, I grabbed some Littlest Pet Shops & R/C Pokemons for my kids.

Man I've been checking Rosemead Walmart for possible new Allspark release, especially leader Nightwatch Prime, and this morning I decided to spend time at Target sweeping for clearance toys and didn't go to that Walmart and NW Prime showed up??? I must have bad karma. :-(

*sigh* Don't know if I should check Rosemead WM during my lunch break, think there's gonna one left for me?

HAhHAHahAH!! STFU!! LOL! I was the guy with the brown button up short sleeve. You can't miss me. Im short and big boned! HAhAhah! I came in when they opened up. I was line up with that guy and a lady with a cart and some older dude (not unless that was you??). LOL! Im like! Man! I have to freaking run everytime this crap happens! HahAH! Thats funny!!! I didn't even see you. I was too pissed off trying to compete with them. HahHAHAH! Next time give me a call when your going there. I'll give you my number.

I was actually debating if to pass by there today and I did. I came in late at work. Also going to WM rosemead. Then I just got lucky on the prime. The lady told me that it must have been a return, cause she said that nothing came in last nite. Just to let you guys know, she said that they will be resetting the toys section in a couple of days. Why would someone return him?? Weird! Too bad I missed you though. Oh well! Next time. ;)^

Well i was at wal-mart in city of industry (think thats where its at...) two nites ago and looks like they re-stocked a bunch of the video game character deluxe figures. Only movie character I saw was 1 brawl wich I debated about getting but damn I want his leader version so much more, and I also saw a couple of scorponoks. Ooh and how could I forget, there was a couple batlle damage Jazzs, i really didnt like the "damage" look though, looks more like someone wrote on him with a magic marker. Anyways there was no leader class figs but there was some Transformers Movie Hero figs cant remember seeing anything besides Battle Jazz Vs. Megatron for the new figs but they were there. Besides that nothing stood out as like "OMG i would so beat my own grandma for that" worthy.

Hope I could help a fellow Cali TF fan in finding something. Anyone here know of or go to The Frank and Son Collectible show?

welcome aboard and glad to have you on here.... as for the frank and sons collectible show, ive never heard of it.... but i do know of a frank and sons scalper show 8-}

Thanks to the help of brother MugenDC5, I got my Leader Nightwatch Prime today from Duarte Walmart. There's one more being stashed away, PM me if you are interested. Also there's a Cybertron Primus (regular with no bunus) on clearance for $30, package condition is not so good but should be complete still, I didn't put it away so it might be gone soon. Good luck hunting gals/guys!

Pico Rivera Walmart has nothing new except old movie deluxes.

Cheers,
Coolpop

Has anyone seen MP Starscream as of late? I really want him, I have been reluctant to search for him as I detest Wal-Mart, but alas, I must give in if I want him.

burbank target earlier today, movie deluxes, movie voyagers, leader megs and brawl, robot heroes, and allspark legends

Alhambra Target:
Allspark Voyager First Strike Prime x 2
Allspark Voyager Offroad Ironhide x 1
Allspark Voyager Evac x 1
The above only 4 new Allspark Voyager figures seen from this Target was purchased by "Speed Walker", when I arrived at 8:10am he already got them in his bags walking toward his car. Well there's nothing I can say, he beat me to them.

Rosemead Walmart:
Allspark Voyager First Strike Prime x 2 (I passed and stashed away, PM if you want them)

Rosemead Target (Nothing new)

Pasadena East Target:
Allspark Deluxe Camshaft x 2 (I stashed 1 for Mugen)
Allspark Deluxe Landmine x 3 (I stashed 1 for Mugen)
No Cliffjumper

Pasadena Old Town Target:
Nothing new except first wave Allspark Legends

***************************************************************

Evac really looks good seeing it in person, it's a must get for me. Offroad Ironhide I am still debating, but most likely I will get it later for complete sake.

Good luck hunting!

Cheers,
Coolpop

Deffinately :mrgreen:

, did you go this past saturday?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok what i saw at Franks http://www.fs-collectibles.com/ (( sorry dont have asile numbers ))
:

2x Takara 7? ((i forget)) bumblebees
Evac repaint of Blackout which I thought was pretty amazing since I never heard of or seen that before, I want it so bad.
Offroad Iron Hide

Well thats bassicaly what I saw that wasnt every where in there or i thought was interesting. I also wanted to ask a question, a vendor in there is going to try to bring me a Hound Alternator and hes asking for 80 bucks. Think I should buy it for that price? No one else seemed to have it there and I dont have a credit card for the interwebs.

Don't buy new movie figures from this show if you can, it will indirectly help their scalping activities. Both yesterday and today I have been seeing new cases of Allspark Voyagers (2 x First Strike Optimus Prime, 1 x Evac & 1 x Offroad Ironhide) being break out and placed on Target shelves, yesterday I was beat by the regular "Speed Walker", and today he beat me again but he was nice enough to save them for me, so today I walked out happily with 1 x Evac & 1 x Offroad Ironhide. New Allspark figures will become more widely available in all stores, it's just a matter of time.

80 bucks for Alternators Hound is too expensive, I understand you don't have access to online purchase, but Hounds are going for $30-$40 plus shipping on eBay, so I would recommend you try to haggle it down to $40-$50 range then it's a more reasonable buy.

Good luck hunting down your Alternators, I love that line, along with Binaltechs, BT Asterisks & Kiss Player lines, but they are getting pricier every minute.

So as far as I can tell theres a love hate relationship with these vendors and collectors. Im never to happy when I pay there prices for new items either but i just seem to have bad luck finding stuff in stores so I break and go to franks, I'll be more cautious and less fan boy trigger happy next time im there ((i bought a leader brawl last saturday :oops:

oopsy)) Thanks for the advice Coolpop, I'll make sure to lower that price on the hound if he has it when i go tomorow. Mind holding my wallet? lol, ahh...im weak..

yes it should be, but there are a handful of targets that dont put stuff on clearance until quite a while after all the other targets put their stuff on clearance. but these clearance stuff has been going on since after new years, so i dont know what you might be able to find now, but its still worth a try
