Target on rt 110, (next to adventure land) Just put up there refresh of if not all, most toys! Including Halo Reach Figures, Marvel Universe 3.75", Star Wars and of course Transformers!
As far as I seen they have EVERYONE! (except Megatron, as I have read mixed things about him possibly coming in this run) Including all the combiners, voyagers, scouts and deluxes. They also had 2 Leader classes left! One Starscream and one Optimus Prime. I went around 1pm today. Only got me 1 so far. Actually I found a clearance Mudflap, with Mudflap license plate for $2.97! Today Also I got Cybertronian Optimus. Trying to hide a few till pay day

Re: New York Transformers sightings

I didn't see him, but I saw Red Hulk. I dunno if he is rare or not. I just started getting into those. Saw Cap as well and a AIM soldier (I think it was AIM, Yellow Haz-mat suit kinda guy).
Just got back from the Target on Route 110. Thanks again for the tip Sideswipe.
I picked up a HA Jazz and a Generations Drift.
They had about 10 WFC Primes around 5 WFC BBs, 1 Thrust, and 4 Drift. HA they have about 2 Jazz left and a ton of BB with the Sam repaint. They have One Leader SS and One Battle Hooks Optimus. A few Seaspray and Ratchet, Long Haul Repaints as well. No deluxes for HFTD. Some Legends left but no Ravage (glad I got him at TRU). As far as I can tell they have all the Scouts.
They also have 2 Tuner Mudflaps on clearance if anyone is interested. One has Mudflap on the License Plate, but I don't know if all Tuner Mudflaps have that or not.
I'm off to Open my findings

Edit- Oh yeah, Iron Man 2 stuff still isn't new there. If anyone in Nassau sees any of the new stuff (Hulk buster, new Iron monger, etc) let me know.

So for you Nassau County Long Island New Yorkers, I found some cool transformers at Tri County Flea Market. It's on Hempstead Turnpike. Not sure of the town, Levittown I think.
They have some beast wars, Beast Machines, Animated, ROTF, The 2007 movie subline of Allspark all mostly in deluxes (though I saw some voyagers). They also had some G1 stuff (looked like re-releases though) and Japanese Masterpiece Skywarp. I also saw some busts. This is in the flea market, up stairs. There is a hobby shop that also sell other figures and Trading cards.
Happy hunting.

Spotted this two pack at Copaigue Target on Long Island.
I didn't pick it up. I already have those molds at least twice.
Did find the Marvel Universe Iron Man I was looking for though.

Re: New York Transformers sightings
Found one lone Masterpiece Grimlock at TRU in Carle Place NY on Monday. The price of 69.99 plus tax almost made me leave him but I know if I didnt bite the bullet now I could chance never finding him again. Overall love the figure. Only thing that bothers me is that chances are slim to none that we'll ever see the other Dinobots in this scale. One can still hope.

TRU in Bay Shore, right next to best buy was JUST unpacking a box of TFA Cybertron Iron Hide and Rodimus Minor when I was disappointed in not finding either of them. I was almost about to leave with Commemorative Preceptor. When I saw them I put down perceptor and got both!
I have an extra Rodimus Minor looking to sell, PM or AIM me if interested!
When I left they have 2 of each still. Also Cybertron Optimus as well they had. check the pic below!

Found a few interesting things in the Riverhead TRU on long island: At least a box of wave one animated was either found in teh back or sent by hasbro cause theres a bunch of Bumblebees and cybertron primes, plus they have Arcee again i grabbed one and left 2 there might be 3 left all mint condition, Found Rodimus (his name is HotRod damnit) but the boxes on all 3 were totaled. It looked like they sat on them then played kickball with em. I grabbed the worst of the three to open and the best to keep in the box. And trust me its no prize, the top of the box has this big crease and the bubble has a dent in the corner. Might just say to hell with it and use it for the repaint idea i have and try to hunt down a mint one. Figure it self is cool not as good as Classics HotRod but still cool. Hell when ever they come out with another HotRod or Rodimus im happy. Oh and TRU has a shitload of animated cybertron ratchets now and no Ironhides.

I was going to head up that way to some TRU later this week. I can't remember if the one in hamburg is the only one up there. I tried looking at the store locator but it doesn't even tell me there's one in Erie PA. I'm just looking for Rodimus and Ironhide.

About all the same stuff all around Nassau county as far as I can tell. HFTD wave 1 and Generations Wave 1. I am hoping wave 2 hits soon. Lots of cool stuff in the next two waves that I am anxious to get my hands on. If anyone spots them be sure to let me know.
Also I'll probably head up to TRU in Massapequa sometime this week so I'll let you guys know if I see any MP grimlock.

Sorry for the double post.
So I went to TRU in Massapequa, near the sunrise mall. They have two MP Grimlocks. There was three but I bought one. Frankly right now I dunno if I should open him or not. The packaging is alot different from Primes. I dunno if I can save it or not. I definitely won't buy another one unless they go into clearance like Skywarp (which I am still kinda bummed I missed).

Re: New York Transformers sightings
Hamburg NY TRU - No animated except for Ratchet. They had about 4 MP Grimlocks and 1 Oil pan. I didn't want him so I left him behind. Nothing new that hasn't been mentioned in this thread so far.
