Sorry guys, I know I'm being redundant here, but has anyone seen HFTD Tomahawk or Terradive lately? I've not seen these guys in retail yet. The one's i've seen were online only (kmart, ebay - outrageous pricing btw-, hasbro, etc) but I want to avoid shipping costs here. i thought it was part of the wave 3 line up...
just frustrated, sorry...

With Voyagers on sale at TRU for $9.99 this week I went in hoping to score a Bludgeon cheap but all the local TRU on Pines Blvd in southern Broward County had was a bunch of Mindwipes. They also had Generations wave 2 Megatron, Soundwave and Red Alert. Still plenty of Masterpiece Grimlocks, too. Like four of them warming the shelves since last week.

I saw the Breacher and Insecticon wave of scouts at the Toys R Us on Broward Boulevard by Broward Mall in Ft. Lauderdale. They also had that Rampage Among the Ruins box set full of movieverse guys. The TRU on Pines street keeps getting MP Grimlocks in. The count was 8 of them the last time I went yesterday.

Anybody having luck finding Dirge and Red Alert in OP or JAX? So far, all I've seen are WFC Optimus, BB, and Generations Thrusts and Drifts. Really want to cop this Dirge figure badly!

I just saw Blurr, Darkmount and Dirge at the Wal Mart Supercenter in north Miami-Dade on Red Road. Darkmount and Red Alert have been around for a while at Targets in the area but this is the first time I've seen Blurr or Dirge.

I bought a Generations Blurr today at the Wal-Mart Supercenter on Red Road in north Miami-Dade county and it rang up at $9. I guess they're having a sale on deluxes?
Also PCC Icepick, Leadfoot and Sledge have been popping up over the past week at K-Marts in the north Miami-Dade/south Broward county area.

Both the Wal-Mart at the intersection of N. Dale Mabry Hwy. and Waters Ave., and the Wal-Mart Supercenter on Gunn Hwy. have Generations Cybertronian Megatron, Cybertronian Soundwave, Dirge, Red Alert, and Blurr.
Also, I don't know how old or new these are, but both International Mall and Westshore Mall each have their own toy store called "Toys'R'Us Express". They're both very reminiscent of KB Toys and have several older Animated figures remaining for anyone still searching for those.
And, the Marshalls on N. Dale Mabry Hwy. (across the street from the Wal-Mart) has many Aniamted Voyager figures, ranging from those as old a Optimus Prime and Starscream to those as recent as Skywarp.

Two days ago I saw a Terradive at the Super Target at Stirling & University in southern Broward county/Ft. Lauderdale area. Tonight I picked up a Human Alliance Mudflap from the TJ Maxx on Pines street & Hiatus also in southern Broward. It was the only HA figure they had, which I thought was strange. Other Marshalls and TJ Maxxes in the area always have a number of older HA figures simultaneously. This was the first Mudflap I've seen here in southern Florida since reports started coming in from the northeast US.

Found 3 Mp Grimlocks (bought one) just sitting on the shelf at the TRU near the Lakeland mall on Friday.
Looking for the Megatron gun (or just the stock) that came with 20th anniversary MP Optimus Prime.

I saw that new black Human Alliance Sideswipe at the Target on Pines Blvd in southern Broward county/Ft Lauderdale area last night.
Tate's in Lauderhill has had a bunch of loose G1 out on a display case for a while now. Mostly '86 stuff.

Managed to pickup a HFTD Terradive and Tomahawk in Gainesville, FL Walmart - 1 more of each figure were left on the shelves. I'm having a heck of a time finding Generations Blurr - fraid I might have totally missed the chance on that one

You won't believe what I just found from the Animated Series.
A couple of days ago, TRU across from the Altamonte Mall in Altamonte Springs opened the flood gates with I guess would be the remaining surplus of Rodimus Minors (10 of them) and Cyb Mode Ironhide (about 5 left). And to think, I got Rodimus way back in august, the only one I thought, at the same place. Orlando area is definitely one of the last places on earth to get anything new transformer-wise.
BTW, I still haven't seen HFTD Tomahawk yet. yikes.

You know, I only saw him once in Tampa, and that was it. It was pure luck. BBTS still has a pair of Dirge and Blurr though. And Toysrus.com and Hasbrotoyshop.com may get him back in stock at some point.

Just noticed my Target (Gainesville, FL) has increased the price of the TF Deluxes (Generations and HFTD) to $11.99 again. The ~ $9 per deluxe was nice while it lasted.
I haven't found anything new in town since just before Thanksgiving - last things I've encountered were the waves of Generations that included Cliffjumper, Skullgrin, Dirge, Red Alert, Blurr, and Thunderwing.
Anyone else had luck tracking down Jazz, Tracks, Scourge, Perceptor, Kup, or the PCC Dinobots in this state?

RTS wave 1 really hasn't been that common. I've seen only a few batches. Wave 2 of both RTS and Generations haven't been spotted anywhere in the U.S. yet, and I don't think anyone has gotten PCC Dinobots in Florida, either. The only thing that does seem to be pretty common right now is the Battle in Space set. I've seen a few of those.

Last time I was at the Cleremont Target on W. Colonial I saw some RTS figures left, some Red Alert's, Skullgrin's and a Blurr. It was mostly the 2 RotF/HftD retools (outback and mindset?) but also saw at least one Tracks and Jazz. Aside from that, my Walmart's and Target's are still void of anything new.
