There are a few Sunstorms and purple Shockwaves left at Super Target in Boca Raton. The $5 sale on both sets caused a huge run on the figures, and honestly, I'm surprised there are any left anywhere.

I'm still looking for Inferno. Maybe we can help each other out?

That's a bit far from Tampa.

If by Inferno you mean Voyager Universe Inferno, I've seen him only once or twice several months ago and I haven't seen him since. Sorry.

What I meant is that I am willing to pick up the item in Boca, and then mail it to you. But honestly, I'd shop around online, especially Ebay. There were a ton of the Shockwave sets on Ebay, and several definitely sold for less than retail price.

I'll keep looking for an Inferno. If I find one, and if remember to, I'll let you know and then we can negotiate.

Score

Though, in the case I can't find an Inferno, is there any other figure you're looking for?

): No, that's really it.

Well, I'll keep looking (and hoping) to find one.

But wait, what happens if you find an Inferno first?

Hey sabrblade I'll keep an eye out for the purple shockwave since we are both in the same general area. No guarantees though.

I can still pick up a Shockwave and send it to you. But seriously, check Ebay. There are a TON of them on there now. And it's actually cheaper to go through there than it would for me to buy the set for $25 plus tax and then pay about $6 to ship it to you.

Holy crud! I just found Inferno at a Target in Ft. Lauderdale, which completely makes me feel better about being denied my ROTF Sideswipe purchase at a Wal-Mart earlier this morning.

So much for the trade.

As for Ebay, I don't really like Ebay, as I've been scammed a few times and never got my money back.

Alternative B: Amazon.com. There are a few sellers who are offering him at a decent price.

I went to the Gainesville Target last night, and found they had reset their toy aisle, placing all remaining TFA toys right at the entrance of the aisle. They had almost all pegs relabeled for the various TF Movie 2 toys, and had the fast action Battlers of Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Jolt on the pegs. No signs of TFA items being place on clearance, except a couple of the old battle bumpers.

Walmart on Archer hasn't reset their toy aisle yet, but that have a couple boxes of unopened TF Movie 2 robot replicas with the damning sticking of don't put out until May 30, 2009 on them

Saturday I'll be making the rounds in Gainesville. Maybe I'll pick up a deluxe or two (:

found ROTF figures released at the super walmart on tampa rd in oldsmar on 5-29-09 at 1:15am no issues checking out.

Saw ROTF figures well stocked at a Super Target in Tampa earlier today. I assume it's that way all over the state.

Now the big question for me is, where's the Energon Combiners (:

Not yet. I haven't been able to get to any store since Wednesday, which was before any ROTF figures were released.

But, from what I could tell, the Target on Waters Ave. was preparing for the ROTF toys' release and had cleared out a good amount of shelf space for the new figures.

I went to this target by my work at 9:45pm

Tampa Central Walter's Crossing

Tampa, FL 33607

i checked the dcpi # for the superion combiners on the price checker it showed none on the shelf but shows them in the back room. So I approached a Target employee in the electronics dept gave him the dcpi#. He punched it into his little device and then said. "its not available until June 21".
