North Broadway Chula Vista Walmart: The four Allspark Delux exclusives were on an end cap. There were plenty of them aside from Big Daddy, which seemed to be scarce. He was the only one I grabbed, I might however go back for Grindor (I really liked that mold). Also don't forget that today is the last day of the buy 2 get 1 free sale at TRU.

I stopped at the Dixon Wal-Mart today, and found the new Wal-Mart exclusive Robot Heroes "The Final Battle" five pack.

The set was $9.96 and includes AllSpart Power versions of Optimus Prime and Ratchet, battle damaged versions of Jazz and Blackout, and Megatron with a metallic finish. There were three sets left after I grabbed mine.

They didn't have any of the exclusive AllSpark deluxes, but they did have a few of the Real Gear repaints (the red phone, black camera, and black "Game Boy").

Nothing new in the Transformers world. Just thought I'd mention that I found the ToysRUs exclusive GI Joe "Troop Builder" sets down here in San Diego. These are the 5 packs including Snake Eyes vs the Red Ninjas, and the Cobra Nightwatch team (which looks awesome).

Finally, something new...sort of. National City (San Diego) Walmart: Two of each Premium Series Blackout and Ironhide voyager classes. Plenty of the other, older stuff too. Picked up only one Ironhide, left the rest.

Mon Mar 24, 2008 3:42 pm

I saw two Premium Blackouts and one Premium Ironhide at the North Haward Target. It was about 12:15 today.

Tue Apr 01, 2008 1:04 am

Are there unique DPCI numbers for the premium series?

Mon Apr 07, 2008 1:36 pm

Hayward TRU had 1 ea of Premium Optimus and Megatron (at 10:30am).

Wed Apr 09, 2008 5:34 pm

Wow! This thread is dead! Whats going on in hur!! :???:

So anybody here spot any animated TF's yet?

Hey Mugen Bro!

Howdy! I haven't been running the stores lately, now I check Alhambra Target about once per week (nothing new, no animated, no premiums, very discouraging) & Rosemead Walmart about twice per week (same thing, nothing new, not even their new deluxe exclusives). Lately I was checking Alhambra TRU more often hoping to catch the new Ultra class jets in the store, however it turned out to be fruitless as well, so I ordered them online and should be getting them next Monday.

Personally I might even skip totally on the animated series (too cartoonish for me) & premium series (I can't buy more repaints) and maybe pickup just a few figures from classic 2.0.

Anyway if do any of the new stuffs in the stores I will keep everyone posted. I'll be around still. Cheers!

I can't justify buying repaints either...although if I see stealth bumblebee and the Japanese Premium Optimus Prime I might change my mind.
Thinking of getting the Henkei Megatron and Grimlock as well, but still unsure.

I haven't seen anything too interesting either in the TRU/Walmart/Target that I visited.

Will post as soon as I see anything interesting. And yeah, I can't wait until the Animated line drop.

Fri Apr 11, 2008 4:24 pm

So I took the bite and bought the premium series of Ironhide and blackout. This was like 2weeks ago when I bought them. Damn repaints! I dont think imma get all of them either. So I hear you completed your Masterpieces Coolpop! Good job! ;)^

Oh! I move to Moreno Valley. Damn boonies! HAhahhA! Anybody in here live out there? Also I haven't gone hungting for awhile, until im settled here. Well good hunting to you all!

Wed Apr 16, 2008 3:09 pm

Just came back from the Nrth Hayward Target (on Hesperian Blvd). Saw the energon Deluxe (Target Exclusive?) figures on an end cap near the registers. They were packaged in plastic tubes rather than carded, like the regular deluxe line.

Thanks Mugen. Wow you moved that far? Hope you get good store runs over there & we'll keep in touch and meet up once in a while bro!

Last Saturday I was shopping at Alhambra Target, it's got NOTHING NEW.

Today I stopped by Duarte Walmart, it's got NOTHING NEW.

That's why lately I just stick online for some exclusive figure hunting. Cheers all!

Hey everyone!

Remember me? I was seriously collecting all the movie figures over the summer... Well, now I'm trying to unload some of them for spring cleaning and get some space and money back.

Does anyone need a Jazz G1 Target Transformer (Movie) or an Optimus Prime Voyager (the first one)? They are still in the packaging. They are unopened. I'm not looking to make extra money, just to hopefully get what I paid for them... so just the regular price with tax? I'm in Walnut, CA, and can arrange to meet up. Anyone interested? Thanks a lot!

Tony

Thu Apr 17, 2008 11:29 am

Oh yeah, so I guess I'm asking $22 for the Voyager Optimus Prime, and $11 for the G1 Target Jazz (cost plus tax). I also have the Botcon Titanium Menasor which I bought from Hasbrotoyshop.com, and am asking for $26 (my cost plus shipping). Please PM me if anyone is interested. Thanks again!

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone had any idea whether the stealth bumblebee can be found in stores? If so, which ones. Thanks
If anyone is around Santa Ana, CA area, I bought a premium series bumblebee with battle mask at Toys Street Company ($14.99) (2800 N Main Street, Santa Ana, CA 92705). They had one more on the shelf, and a bunch of 1977 Bumblebees, all retailing at $14.99. They also had an offroad Ironhide and Optimus Prime Voyager.

My previous post on recent sightings unfortunately got washed out last week during board back-tracking, so here I try to recollect from my ever shrinking brain.

Alhambra Target:
Mid last week saw healthy stock of new Target exclusive Allspark Deluxes (Concept BB, Barricade, Jazz & Brawl) in round plastic tube packaging. I went again today there's still good number of them except concept BB's all gone. Again these are located at the opposite endcap facing the board games.

This Target is doing $6.99 deluxe figure sale too, but there were only 3 Payloads and that's it! However there was a new case of Premium Voyagers just broke out this morning:
2 x Ironhide (I picked up one)
2 x Blackout (I picked up one)
At first I didn't think I would fall for these premium "repaints", but now I have these two in hand and I think they are really worth getting for the improved details, at the same price point.

Alhambra Toys R Us:
I didn't personally spot this, but my friend saw TRU exclusive Ultra Class Jetstorm & Wingblade in this store on 4/19 night before it closes. Not sure if there are still some available, but just want to let people know these do actually show up in physical stores now.

Wed Apr 30, 2008 12:03 pm

Target in Torrance (Hawthorne Blvd and Sepulveda):
1x Premium Blackout (Voyager)
2x Premium Ironhide (Voyager)
Plenty of Target Exclusive Scout class
Allspark Deluxe Figures including Payload, Camshaft, Cliffjumper, Longarm.

I passed on all of those. I just want Stealth BB, even though I have cliffjumper and Evolution of a Hero BB concept already. I'm a sucker for BB.
