I ordered deluxe wave 3 on Sunday through HTS with priority shipping and had it in hand on Wednesday. I've already started working on galleries for Cannon Bee, Interrogator Barricade, Mudflap and Ravage.

I also ordered Skywarp and Ramjet through Walmart.com. Both of those have already shipped and should arrive any day. Ordered the Fallen from Amazon and HasbroToyShop ... anyone's guess which one will arrive first, though HTS said it wouldn't ship until later in the month.

Ordered Mixmaster and Voyager Megatron when I ordered wave 3 deluxe ... HTS said those would ship on June 15th. Ordered the wave 3 FABs from HTS as well, and those have already shipped but have not arrived yet.

HTS ship dates seem to correspond with when cases are supposed to ship to retailers. Not always the rule, but it generally seems to coincide.

I have a case of wave 3 Legends on pre-order at BBTS.

Wow...my wallet hurts reading this. Can't wait for the galleries, especially Ravage =P~

.

Regarding the Fallen, I ordered mine through Amazon on the 4th, and with one-day shipping I had it the 5th.

Thank goodness...my credit card needs some recovery time and maybe I'll have found a job by then. Can't believe there are no nursing jobs available for new grads.

Tell me about it. I'm a teacher with 8 years of experience and I was released and can't find ****.

Sorry, sorry. Didn't mean to side track the topic. I'm sorry. I just kind of reflex vented. Sorry everyone. Good luck First-Aid....maybe the two of us should open a nursing school!

Not to sidetrack the thread anymore, but I can sympathize. I've been in and out of work for over two years.

Now back on topic, I stopped by the Schaumburg Target on Higgins and they had every Voyager except for The Fallen. They also had a ton of Soundwaves and Bumblebees (Wave 1) and some Scouts, but that was it.

Just snagged The Fallen (which was the last one) at the Target off Rand in Mt Prospect/Arlington Heights. Ravage, Cannon Bumblebee and Interrorgator Barricade were there as well. I almost snagged an extra Ravage but decided to leave it for one of you.

Scored the Human Alliance BB from the 24 hour Kmart on 159th & Harlem. There's 2 left. $35 each I only left with 1 instead of my usual 2. I'll wait until they are more common or a good sale to get another.

by **clubkid74** » Tue Jun 16, 2009 3:41 am

Hit a few stores today...(had to pick up "Ghostbusters: The Video Game...woohooo!) Nothing new...EXCEPT at the KMart at State and Mulford in Rockford. Found a half dozen Stratospheres and two HA bumblebee figs! Grabbed one of each, so there are still one HA BB and a few Strats left (not the guitars!). Good luck Rockford faithful!

P.S. To use Rockford TF fans, I'd like us all to get together sometime soon...thinking Hooters would be a good place. Let me know...

After getting my hands on one today, i agree. This may be the most accurate Bumblebee and, by far, the BEST figure of either this or the first TF movie line. 10 out of 10!

If anyone is still looking for The Fallen, I saw one at the Target on Rt. 59 and Rt. 72 in South Barrington.

News Credits: 1 · by **No Death for Prowl** » Tue Jun 16, 2009 11:37 pm

I saw a Fallen at a TRU back when the movie figures first were released....the robot mode was tempting in itself, but I could see why they packaged it in 'bot mode when I flipped over the box. The alt mode makes Voyager Megatron from the 1st movie would like an inspired piece of art......

Checked out my local Target and was glad to find the Superion set.

I also noticed Desert Brawl(not a bad repaint, have the original, though), Bumblebee(meh, I've had enough of BB, am waiting for the highly regard Human Alliance one), and Soudwave(heard bad things, thinking it's crap, but actually didn't look that bad to me) deluxes, as well as sightings of Chromia and Skids that I had not seen before at Target.

Hit Rosemont Target last night for dog food and cat litter (freakin' cats), and of course swung past the toy aisle (Pets and Toys are right across from each other, heh-heh). There was a surprise on the end cap with the Bumblebee cannons and helmets, Leaders, and Voyagers- 2 Superions! I grabbed one, couldn't resist. They also had 2 Fallens, and the rest of the current releases.

As someone else said about Superion, I wasn't going to buy him, but 5 figs for $30 is not a bad deal. I happen to have 2 components of the original Energon Superion, Sky Shadow and Windrazor, and they're good figures, 2 solid modes on their own. Looking forward to opening up the big guy at lunch today.
