Barrett TRU finally put out something new. They got Thrilling 30 Starscream in. Had about 2 or three of him and it looks like they actually expanded the section some. Left all of screamer since I'm reluctant to pay $119.99 for a Starscream that's so out of scale he can fight Unicron. >:oP

On a separate note I was in Ross Dress for less and they appear to have that Generations Megatron in G2 colors (the repaint of Bludgeon/Banzitron) for $12.99 Saw him in the one on Cobb Parkway in Acworth/Kennesaw. Left him again since I already have the other two versions of the figure and can't justify a 3rd.

Went to TRU in Fayetteville today. They also had 4 of those Platinum starscreams out. All were spider wrapped with security ties which is super lame because you can't open the flap to look at the figure. No real worries for me as I am not interested. Didn't see much of anything to really report.

BUT... what I did notice was all who were making purchases and had there membership cards were all getting 15% off coupon that can be used between 3/3-3/13.

So, I got in line and bought a pack of gum and got my 15% off coupon. Now, with any luck, I can pick up YOTH Prime in that time frame.

I will definitely be doing the same tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up.

You will get the ultimate :BOWDOWN:

if you tell me that the coupon is reusable and not a 1 time only.

Sun Feb 23, 2014 10:19 am

The coupon is 15 % off 1 regularly priced item which starts 3/3 and expires 3/13. I'm pretty sure it was a 1 shot deal. I was the third person that got one after letting them scan the rewards card. But, it's a gamble now. Will tru be getting and YOTH primes in by the 13th.....

When I talked to the TRU worker at Barrett Parkway he said that he knew of another new large figure like Starscream coming in (he knew neither Starscream or Optimus' names) that he had to make space for. I'd say that's a good sign maybe it comes in that window.

Sun Feb 23, 2014 10:41 am

Hope so. It's how I got my Soundwave last year. Found him on the day my coupon was expiring. I got him for 110.00 dollars. I'm not happy that MPs are TRU exclusives nor that TRU's pricing is so high on things. I really get a kick out of sticking it to them with their own coupons.

For the construct bot fans, went to target today and saw the Optimus Prime /Megatron 2 pack was marked down from 24.99 to 3.74. Practically a give away. Too bad I have no interest unless I get them for toys for tots for Christmas this year.

Chandler- still no cyberverse BH UM. Still looking though.

Anxious for OP YOTH to start showing up. Got this 15% coupon and also 5 dollar R US rewards that expire on the 13th...

Also, it's not transformers, but if any of you happen across the Marvel Infinite series Spiderwoman, can you please please please let me know? It's a 6 inch figure for 19.99. She is dressed in black suit and has brown hair in a pony tail.

Thanks!

I've seen Spiderwoman at the Barrett PKWY in Kennesaw Toys R US and Target but that was at least a week ago if not more.

Also got this post in via StealthJ2 on another site. Good to see stuff is showing up finally.

"At the Atlanta Buckhead TRU I found 2x Sky warp, 2x Scoop, 2x Minicon Assault Team and 1x Armada Starscream (after I bought one). Also saw one YOTH Optimus Prime and 3 Acid Storms."

Time to go get em. 15% coupon working as well. Pics taken at Barrett Parkway TRU

Sat Mar 01, 2014 4:08 pm

Came up to Atlanta and just got the last of 2 YOTH primes for 15% off. Watched the other one walk out too. Figured it may have been one of you but I was in line and no way of catching you to ask. They did have a lot of the new generations there.

Anyhow, thanks for the tip Darkman, I appreciate it!

***edit*** this was at buckhead tru

Glad to help Sev....

Looking for a longshot now. Anyone seen Fall of Cybertron Starscream anywhere lately? Now of course when they release the other 2 seekers prices seem to have skyrocketed.

Ugh! MU Longshot???? I JUST sold one on eBay and it took forever too. I only wanted Rogue out of the 4 pack.

Man, I haven't seen a starscream in a while. Will keep my eyes opened though. Will check at Kmart tomorrow.

Tue Mar 04, 2014 12:58 pm

Went to Kmart on my lunch break. Best I could find seeker wise was Thundercracker. No starscream or BH UM for Chandler.

Will keep looking for your starscream but its going to be a tough one. If i do find one, do you want me to pick it up for you? You will just pay me for what is on the receipt.

If you find one let me know here. I have everything hooked to my cell now so I should get the info pretty quick. I'm watching a couple on E-bay that I might just get. Some prices are ridiculous. Saw one sold for $50.

Thanks for the help.

I'll keep an eye out for Cyberverse Magnus too.

Been looking everywhere for the Prime YOTH. Seems like the only TRU that has in stock is the Fayetteville one. I went there today at noon and there were three left. I had a 20% off from Babies R Us and I couldn't pass that up

Glad you were able to get it 20% off. Surprised you got it in Fayetteville too. Last weekend the associate was still telling me they wouldn't be getting any in and that it was a preorder only item...whatever. Also, there is a shop owner in the area that likes to buy from that location and scalp. You got lucky and beat them to it!

Thanks for the update CC and welcome to the Ga board. Let us know if you are looking for anything.

Wed Mar 05, 2014 8:57 pm

Thank you! It was on pre-order on TRU's site until tuesday night. Its now officially on sale and believe is still available online but I really wanted to use the 20% off coupon:D When I left the store today there were still two left behind

Man,

Of all weeks for something like this to go down. I'll most likely be driving back up to NY this weekend to attend a funeral for my Aunt who passed.

Sorry to hear that about your Aunt. I'm not sure how much you will really be missing out. Though I have never been to this, it looks heavily GI Joe driven based on the pics on the website. I haven't decided wether or not I am going.
