This mp grimlock hunt is giving me a headache. Still looking for animated rodimus and HFTD Tomahawk as well... Any sign of them in Orlando?

Masterpiece Grimlock FOUND at the TRU in Clearwater. Two left after my purchase.

They also had Rodimus and Ironhide. Two of each after my purchase.

Good luck guys.

So glad I pre-ordered Grimlock from TRU and ordered Thrust and Drift from Wal-mart. Really didn't have the time to hunt, been too busy with other stuff. My local TRU has really been slacking with releases as of late.

Target had several drifts and thursts off of university blvd and goldenrod.

I've pretty much gave up on mp grimlock. too pricey. I ended up buying the classics grimlock/jetfire gift set awhile back, so my money went into that. I did, however, get the last TFA rodimus minor at TRU in orlando across from Altamonte Mall on SR436 where there were several mp grimlocks before they sold out 8/21. The hunt is done for me for now...

found 2 animated Rodimus Minors at the TRU in Wesley Chapel. I did not see Grimlock or Ironhide. I took 1 Rodimus and left one.

I am SO going to keep an eye on that store!

Just got back from TRU in S. Miami's 117th ave & 88th street: no MP Grimlocks (but the pricing was on a shelve) or TFA Rodimus or Ironhide. They had 3 TFA Arcees for anyone that never found them.

Just got the last TFA Rodimus and Ironhide from the International Mall TRU in West Miami. 5 MP Grimlocks left on the shelf.

Maybe if we wait long enough, TRU will drop the price on the remaining MP grimlocks on the shelves...

Picked up TFA Rodimus and Ironhide at the Wesley Chapel TRU. It was the last Ironhide, and there was one more Rodimus, but another customer scored it along with one of the three MP Grimlocks. Two Grims remain, though (I left both there since I liked the spare cash to purchase one).

This store still had two Cyb. Mode Ratchets.

Also, this passed Thursday, I spotted one Mudslinger w/ Destructicons PCC set at the Wal-Mart Supercenter on Dale Mabry Hwy near Waters Ave.

For anyone living in the Miami area and has heard of A&M Comics I spoke with the owner and found out that they have the ability to order transformers on a regular bases but don't since the can't guarantee sales so if i can get enough people to say they would buy the toys there they might start selling them. I heard they might have some g1 MISB there maybe. PM me if you wanna agree to buy stuff there.

Any second wave of Generations sighted anywhere in the Jacksonville area?

Wouldn't A & M need a higher mark-up than Target ,TRU, or Walmart? Hell, higher than Kmart or even Kohl's! Or, are you referring to japanese figures? I remember when Anime Hurricane was around, the prices were pretty high for japanese figures. Many times, one was better off buying them online. I got some great deals from them, though.

Welcome to the boards!

I'd chime in to help you out, but unfortunately, I don't live in that part of Florida. Good luck!

I go to A&M infrequently but when I do there's always some Transformer rarity buried in the mess. Once I saw a huge stack of G1 books from Spain and other European countries. I thought that was pretty cool. Another time (and this was within the past year) they had lots of white box Alternators including Mirage. So they're unique in that they get stuff that's not exactly what's currently on the shelves at retail like other comic shops. But the place is such a mess and nothing has prices so you have to hope the main guy is there and not busy with other customers more important than you. So I don't go in unless it's a back issue emergency. The lack of organization, random potluck inventory and higher prices than other shops don't make it worth going in for me.

I heard Human Alliance Mudflaps were popping up at TJ Maxx so I went to the one on Pines Blvd and Hiatus in the southern Ft Lauderdale area and found nothing. Well I did find Animated voyager Atomic Lugnuts and Wreck Gars for $12.99, but no HA Mudflap.

And I saw that green Legends Devastator at TRU on Pines & Flamingo, too.

Went to the Marshalls on University & Pines in southern Ft Lauderdale and saw Human Alliance Bumblebee, Skids and Sideswipe at $20 each. That looked like a good price. Also saw all sorts of older Animated Voyagers-Shockwave, Megatron and a whole bunch of others.

Very nice find!

Ya know, still not seeing any MP Grimlocks after they sold out several weeks ago... Still amazing to see they are sitting on the shelves on your side of the state...

Fri Sep 17, 2010 7:00 am

There are at least 2 MP Grimlocks sitting on the shelves of the 2 TRUs i regularly visit. I don't think they ever sold out.

New wave of scouts at TRU in International Mall in Miami. 2 Breachers left and plenty of the rest. 3 MP Grimlocks on the side shelf. Infinitymagnus, if you need a hand securing one, let me know.

Fri Sep 17, 2010 2:32 pm

Just saw 1 WFC Megatron at the K-mart on Kendall Dr. & 137th Ave. I'm not impressed by it. For those of you that missed some TFA Voyagers, the Marshall's next to it had Blitzwing, Skywarp, Prime, Lugnut, and Shockwave for $12.99. They also had 1 HA Skids, 2 Bumblebees, and one Sideswipe for $19.99.
