TRU in North Point has Armada Megatron and at least one more Silverbolt after I snagged the other Silverbolt.

Buckhead's had a IDW Megatron I snagged, two Silverbolts, and has one Motormaster after I snagged the other. I also saw a few Jhiaxus's

Buford TRU had 2 Silverbolts, a CW Optimus, 3 RID15 Warrior Drifts (and a good helping of the wave 1 figs), 1 Alpha Bravo, and 1 Huffer. Also a bunch of Nightbeats, NO other Thrilling 30 Generations.

Man, just went to Walmart in Peachtree City and went down the clearance aisle. Picked up Rattrap for 3 bucks! But the big shocker was Combiner Wars Optimus Prime marked down from 24.97 to 15.00! They had 5 marked down.

Hey Georgia folks. I have been a long time lurker but figured it was time to chime in. Seems most everyone here is ATL. Anyone in South GA area? I am in Savannah.

I don't know how notable this is, but I found CW Offroad and Breakdown in the Lawrenceville Walmart by 316 tonight.

Anyone come across Cyclonus yet?

Sat Aug 08, 2015 12:58 pm

Hey guys, I am new to this forum and forums in general actually. I just joined up and thought I would introduce myself here.

I am hoping to get to know some folks from this board in Georgia so I can get some help hunting in the field, and possibly do some buying and trading locally. I don't want to have to deal with paypal or ebay when I want to acquire or get rid of items.

Anyway I hunt for stuff up and down 400 from exit 16 to exit 4 and anywhere in between. Well that's the intro for now. If I make any forum faux pas or anything, please forgive me and point out my errors. I am a noob at this and all. Have a good one, and I will report back when I can.

The TRU on Pleasent Hill Rd had the Combiner Wars Stunticon heavy wave what ever that number was, legends series 4 wave, and some silverbolts, cyclonusi, and enough hotspots to fight a forest fire. Also Armada Megatrons, but that is a common sight. Oh yeah one big ole Devastator box as well. Just doing my part to hopefully earn some cred. :-D

Thanks for your reporting. If I weren't piss broke I'd rush over there and pick some stuff up.

Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:07 pm

Yeah, thanks for reporting cyclonus burn. I still need to pick him up.

Tue Aug 11, 2015 12:01 pm

No problem man, glad to help.

Unfortunately not alot going on as far as sightings. A dude I work with though managed to score some of the Ark autobot combiner limbs at a target out Marietta way. If you are looking for those guys they may be heading into Targets.

Unrelated, but If any of you play the X-Wing game the "Hound's Tooth" "TIE Punisher" "K-Wing" and "Whatever the heck that name is Fighter" is out at your local game stores. I missed on the K Wing, but I got everything else......

Also anyone hitting DragonCon this weekend?

I found a good haul at the Duluth TRU on Friday. Well, "good" from the standpoint of "I haven't been there in a month so I don't know what may have come or gone". They had Devastator, wave 3 torsos, wave 2 limbs (or at least Offroad), a G1 Megatron, and RID Clash toys. They also had some neat stuff in the Power Rangers section but that's not for this topic.

I'm probably going to some of Dragoncon, but it depends on my work schedule. I'm not asking off for it, because I want to get Anime Weekend Atlanta off at the end of September.

Hello to fellow GA collectors. This is my first post here, so I figured that I should start by reporting a sighting of the CW white Battle Core Optimus Prime (x2) :APPLAUSE:

at TRU on Northpoint Pkwy in Alpharetta. Could anyone please tell me if they have seen any CW Ultra Magnus in the Atlanta area? Sorry I didn't snag a pic of the Primes, but my time was limited and the checkout lines were packed. It slipped my mind... Oops!

Sun Oct 11, 2015 11:46 am

Greetings, and thanks for the info man. I haven't seen a CW UltraMagnus in the wild yet, but if I do I'll post it. Also that is one of my hunting spots, so I'll probably see you around. Have a good one and welcome to the board.

Sun Oct 11, 2015 4:24 pm

Thanks for the welcome. My range is pretty much from Johnson Ferry Rd, to Dunwoody, Alpharetta, and Chamblee. TF hunting has been pretty slow recently. Seems that most Targets here are still stuck with Leader class movie figs or still have Megatron only. Target on Roswell Rd (just south of 285 exit) has a leader class Thundercracker though. WalMart seems like they have forgotten that TF even exist. Also, BigBurns 2000, I'm not a scalper here to invade anyone's territory for ebay dollars. I've had to deal with enough of that crap as just a casual collector (of about 3500 or so) Hot Wheels. The scalping scene in that line is absurd, and has basically turned me off as far as HW hunting. Same reason why I quit GI Joe about 3yrs ago. Scalpers ruined it. I buy only one TF when I find it. I have opened every TF that I have purchased or received since 1986, when I got my first one (G1 Optimus Prime was my first TF when I was 6yrs old.).

I picked up Ultra Magnus at the Lawrenceville Target a few weeks ago. It seems to have been the last one, though. I don't check often but they haven't replaced it that I've seen. But it is out there!

Anyone see the Combaticons in Southwest Georgia/Northwest Florida/Southeast Alabama anywhere?

News Credits: 4 · Fri Dec 18, 2015 3:34 am

A Miami-based friend of mine found deluxe combaticons in his Walmarts, I (northeast of Atlanta) did as well. Walmart seems to be the place to go. Apparently Onslaught is showing up at some Targets but I haven't seen him yet.

Wed Dec 23, 2015 1:08 am

The Walmart on Whittlesey blvd in Columbus, GA has some of the Combaticon Combiner Wars set. I saw Swindle, Blast Off, and Vortex. Unfortunately there was only one Brawl and I bought him.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Jan 05, 2016 7:20 am

Little to nothing in the Savannah area. After the Christmas frenzy, theres a few Megatrons and Silverbolts and Stunticons scattered about. Walmart in Hardeeville, SC has a few Optimus limbs. Both Devastators TRU had are gone. Still no sign of any Combaticon. Then again, new stuff shows up in Kim-Jung-UnMart in North Korea before they come here. :-x

Sat Jan 09, 2016 8:36 pm

The Toys R Us in Columbus, GA on Veterans Pkwy has Combiner Wars Combaticons limbs instock. No Onslaught :-(

By my count

2 Swindles

2 Vortexes

3 Blast-Offs

1 Brawl

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jan 11, 2016 7:29 pm

Walmart in Brunswick has 1 Blast Off and 1 Vortex, 1 Caucasian Prime, a few Silverbolts, and a Motormaster.

Walmart on Montgomery Cross Rd. in Savannah has 2 Swindles, a Vortex and a Blast-off. They also had a handful of Motormasters, Silverbolts, and Caucasion Primes.
