Have been calling two Toysrus stores in the Orange Park and Jacksonville area for Generations Thrust and Drift. So far the response is that they haven't received anything from the Generations line. If somebody from this area finds anything, please let me know!

Saw some new stuff at the TRU on Pines street in south Broward county/Fort Lauderdale area. Last night I saw Power Core Combiner Bombshock and Skyburst giftsets, the smaller PCCs Huffer, Smoulder and Searchlight, and yellow box HftD wave one deluxes and legends and the yellow box dump truck guy named Payload (I think?). Also saw three Activators I'd never seen before-RotF Bumblebee, Prime and Megatron. Also there were 6 WFC Bumblebees and one WFC Prime. All were at buy one get one 50% off.

Saw WFC OP and BB at the TRU on 23d St in Panama City Beach. No Thrust or Drift however. They also got in a few of the HFTD line. Sea Spray, Payload, and the ROTF Leader OP repaint that is part of this line, the one with the battle damage and burn marks painted on.

Also, last night I went into the Kmart on route 98 just outside of Tyndall AFB and they had a few old Animated figures that have been sold out for a while everywhere else. I picked up a BB for my son and Snarl and Lugnut for myself. I left Oil Slick, Lockdown, and Black Arachnia. They also had 2 Leader Animated Megatrons. Movie-wise, they had most of the normal stuff. They had 1 Mindwipe left and also 1 of the K-mart exclusive ROTF voyager Starscrem re-paints (Nebular SS) left.

FYI

Anyone still looking for tf animated items:
Kmart at lee rd & 17-92.
1 soundwave original, 2 snarls, 1 oilslick...

Also, at altamonte springs TRU (SR436) found 2 voyager seasprays. Looks sweet. And of course the cyb mode ratchet. 8 at least... No more arcees anywhere. Glad I got arcee before they were all gone.

from what I've seen at most walmarts and targets around me ,New Port Richey, is that all the movie figures are on sale or clearance. and it varies from store to store. I've seen rotf leader class figures for between 24-31.00 dollars, voyagers for 12-15.00, and most commonly are deluxe figures for 7 something at most targets.

Sorry guys, I was writing this on the fly. Walmart in Orlando, near Orlando international airport off of goldenrod had rotf deluxes for 9 bucks. I was going to check the other walmarts around Orlando to see if it's citywide. They had one Breakdown left...

In Tampa, I have seen more of the clearance TF at Target. Wal-Mart doesn't seem to be putting the movie TF on sale/clearance yet, although I did see Animated Shockwave and Skywarp for $13 at the Super Wal-Mart on Gunn down the street from Citrus Park Mall.

As for Target they seem to have pretty much everything on clearance, Star Wars, TF, Power Rangers...everythin but Toy Story 3 toys that is.

Hey guys.

Maybe you guys know this already, but TRU sent out an email for the "Christmas in July" promo. Coupon for 50% on select transformers for July 19, 2010. Most notable is the animated series (cyb mode ratchet, optimus, lockdown, snarl, oilslick, bumble bee) for $5.98 each with coupon... and bb human alliance 10 bucks off I think...

Has anyone found ROTF Skystalker anywhere? I just got Mindwipe but I haven't seen Skystalker anywhere yet.

News Credits: 3 · by **crazysteve** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 12:45 pm

I bought the only Skystalker I ever saw back in March at a Wal-Mart near the Broward/Miami-Dade county line. I think that scout wave was one of those tail enders that saw only limited distribution, like the Human Alliance Mudflap and deluxe red Rampage assortments that also came out around the same time.

2x Mindwipe's @ Clearwater Kmart. Nebular Starscream + Minicons on clearance.

I've seen him only once as well, back in February. Your best bet now is online retailers like BBTS... no guarantees though.

Kohl's at Miami's Town & Country Mall (117th SW & 88th st) has one WFC Bumblebee left and some HFTD deluxes under "buy one get the 2nd 50% off". Deluxes cost $14.99. I got the last Generations Thrust and 2nd-to-last WFC Bumblebee. Also, the only time i ever saw Skystalker was when i bought it at Walmart months ago. Never again after that.

Hey thanks for the Kohl's tip. I just saw one Generations Drift and one Thrust at the Kohl's in Miramar (southern Fort Lauderdale area) on Miramar Parkway. They were 10% off but with a base price of $14.99 that still didn't make them worth grabbing for me. They also had a lot of first wave HftD deluxes and scouts.

Last weekend I saw one each of Human Alliance Bumblebee, Barricade and Side Swipe at the KMart by the Muvico Theater in Pompano Beach (northern Ft Lauderdale area). I thought that was a bit strange since those are no longer around in most other stores I visit. At $35.99 they may sit there for a while more.

Just came from TRU at 117th SW Kendall Dr. in South Miami, they had 4 TFA Arcees. Today they have a "buy 1 get a 2nd 50%" deal (i'm not sure whether it's for reward card carriers only).

It's for everybody... Couldn't take advantage because everything I wanted were gone...

The Super Target on Hillsborough Ave has loaded up on the new TF. Picked up Drift and Thrust. They had Leader Starscream, Seaspray...all the new first waves.

Does anyone know if TFA rodimus minor is out yet at TRU?

News Credits: 3 · by **crazysteve** » Fri Aug 06, 2010 6:05 am

I haven't seen Animated Rodimus or Masterpiece Grimlock in south Florida but sightings have begun for those two in Texas.

Earlier this week the Targets near me in Miramar/Pembroke Pines (southern Broward county/Ft. Lauderdale area) did their resets and put out the new gold box stuff (HftD Legends, scouts, voyagers & deluxes, Human Alliance Jazz & Bumblebee, etc.) and first wave Generations.

Toys R Us on Pines Blvd & Flamingo Road got their first Generations refresh since the War for Cybertron game first came out, but it's just more of the cases that only came with WfC Optimus and Bumblebee. They've yet to put out the full wave one Generations assortment. That TRU is always behind the rest of the country.

Just saw the Wal-Mart 2 packs Desert Ruins Brawl and Bombing Run Battle today at the Wal-Mart on Pembroke Rd & University in south Broward county (Ft Lauderdale area). Score one for south Florida getting stuff around the same time as everyone else.

Hey guys. The TRU at florida mall in Orlando had a bunch of sales going on TFA voyagers. I ended up getting TFA voyager grimlock and blitzwing for 13 bucks a piece. There is about 4 grimlocks and 2 blitzwing and 1 optimus left. I looked these bad boys up online and they are going for at least 30 to 50 bucks online... But sadly no MP grimlock or TFA rodimus minor just yet...

Generations: bb, optimus, drift, 2 of each...

As of August 11th the TRU on 436 in Altamonte Springs, near the Fashion Square Mall and near the Florida Mall do not have (and have not had) MP Grimlock.
