Welcome. Let me be the first to tell you this:zartanman wrote:Hey Guys!
This is my first post here on Sibertron. I live in Sarasota and I've been on the Hisstank toy boards for about a year now and I occasionally visit a few others.
I've always been a TF fan but recently really getting back into it. I love making custom toys and I'm starting to make custom TF's too. I'd like to turn my passion into a profession.
Question. Has anyone seen a ROTF Jetfire Anywhere in Florida? I've been all up and down the west coast/Tampa Area and Haven't seen one.
I really want to get my hands on one without paying $75 for it.
Zartanman
Warning: Seibertron contains nuts.
Now that that's out of the way, I haven't found Jetfire yet (and that's good for me, as I've got other figures to get before him. These figures are coming out too quickly).

I want a Jetfire as well. Just be patient he will be in local stores soon. If you can't wait go to walmart, taregt, or tru and buy all of the leader Primes and Megs, Then get someone to restock the leader class figures and you should be able to get a Jetfire.

I found a Jetfire at a Target down here in Sarasota today and several Jetfires at a Super Walmart in Bradenton. I hope I can find a Devastator at TRU soon. I want to use my 10% off coupon. BigBadToyStore.com just got them in stock.

Unbelievable. Here i am staring at the hasbro site with multiple opportunities to buy jetfire/optimus combo after seeing the announcement on this site earlier today...
Then after deciding to buy it a couple of hours ago, it's sold out...
Guess I'm back to trekking around town again.

I also found Swerve, Arcee and I found Long Haul & Grindor. These were at Target in Bradenton on U.S. 41 and I also found Long Haul & Grindor @ Super Target on University in Sarasota. I should be able to find the Ice Cream Truck & Jolt this week as well.

That's a pretty awesome tour of the state.
Jetfire's around. He's just being scooped up much faster than the other leaders, I think.
I saw a few at the Gainesville Super Walmart a few weeks ago, but they're probably gone.

Ya know, Jetfire's "hard-to-find" status sounds awfully familiar. Now let's see, who else was it that no one could find for long time? Ah, yes, I remember now: Movie 1 Leader Class Megatron (non-premium version). That figure was almost impossible to track down for the longest time... until it finally did start showing up in larger quantities a few months later. And them it stayed on the shelves, keeping them warm for an even longer time, until they were finally replaced by Desert Brawl and Nigthwatch Prime.
Given time, I'm sure Jetfire will also show up in enough quantities to where nobody wants to buy him too.

After my grand tour of the state of Florida, I evetually gave up... Until, my wife found several on amazon.com. it showed up again and my wife purchased it for me! Sold out last I checked. Just got it today... Very nice for my first Jetfire. we work opposite shifts, so when she gets home, we'll open it together...
BTW, if you are at certain stores and you give them the UPC code (you'll find it online) Jetfire is on their list of products that should be hitting shelves again soon. If you ask an associate to place the code in their database it shows TWO identities. JETFIRE and a title that is pretty obvious - LEADER CLASS SPY PLANE...
Stores have it. But like you said, When????
Have fun hunting...

Think you need a better link for that pic. something a little more than a filename.
and I have seen 2 Devastators at 2 different targets in the New Port Richey, and Port Richey areas today . didn't buy him looks ok. but i'm going to wait for a sale or clearance. not nice enough to warrant a 100 dollars.

sorry guys, I'm still new at this. I'll get pics up as soon as I can.
Jetfire is a lot more difficult to transform than I thought. Very sweet looking in jet mode; not too shabby in robot mode as well...
My collecting is pretty much done here. I'll keep a lookout for ones you guys are searching for and give you guys locations when the time comes...
Happy hunting

Big restock at Target on Gulf-to-Bay in Clearwater.
Devastator at $99
RPMs (didn't take a close look, sorry guys!)
Devastator RPM playset (has this been spotted anywhere else?)
Both Robot Heroes sets seem to be case fresh
Restock of Wave 1
Dark Breakaways - several of them. I forget where I read this was a running change, but seeing as how Target didn't have any light colored Breakaways leads me to believe that the earlier light colored ones will probably be more rare
AND Two Swerves where on the endcap

Sorry for the doublepost. For the sake of discussion, let me throw a question out to my fellow Floridians.
Where do you think Transformers show up first in this blistering tourist trap of a state? Which cities/counties/regions or stores seem to get the toys your after first?
