New York Transformers sightings
Re: New York Transformers sightings
Wish I were u Dragons. It's been a bitch trying to find Arcee anywhere in my neck of the woods. Only found the Ratchets and they were gone a day later.
However in my searches I've found pretty much everything else on Long Island. Found Mindwipes in Target in Valley Stream. 2 left. Also saw Legends Devs in East meadow Walmart. Had 3 of those. I passed on em as I thought he was a little bigger than he is even if he is only legends figures combined. Can't justify the price for me at that size. Especially since the Large figure is getting clearanced so much now.
Well the search for Arcee goodness continues

Re: New York Transformers sightings
Anyone still looking for Legends Devs I was at Walmart in Westbury NY last night and they had a couple boxes of them on pallettes ready to be put on the shelves. There probably on the shelves right now so good chance you'll pick him up. Saw at least 3 boxes but I don't know how many are in a case so...

Re: New York Transformers sightings
Good news. Unless I just got lucky it looks as though the scarceness of the TRU exclusive animated figures is coming to an end. I was just at TRU in Carle Place and they had about 5 Arcees and what looked like a buttload of Ratchets. The pegs were full so maybe now everybody will get to enjoy Arcee like I have.

Mmhmm, just came from the Staten Island TRU near the mall; they have a nice stock of TFA Arcees and Cybertron Ratchets.

Re: New York Transformers sightings
LONG ISLAND (SUFFOLK COUNTY)
Things I'm looking for:
Animated Arcee (as are most of us, it seems!)
Optimus Prime Voice Changer Helmet (Peter Cullen variant); I regret not picking one up earlier when they were plentiful (all I have seen lately is Bumblebee).
Things of note I have found recently:
Movie Style Lockdown (Fourth World Comics, Smithtown - think I nabbed the only one though!)
Perceptor (TRU, Holbrook - there were lots, at least five)
Cybertron Ratchet (TRU, Holbrook)
... other than that, the Holbrook TRU was overrun with Tuner Mudflap! Only a couple of other things, nothing particularly new. Same goes for the Bayshore TRU, except their surplus was deluxe Wheelie. Pegs and pegs of 'em! :-/

Hi Hoskimus Prime welcome to the sighting thread!
Unfortunately I haven't seen an Arcee since I bought mine back in early March from the TRU in Lake Success. And even then they only had enough there for myself and my friend to pick her up for ourselves. The only advice I can give you is keep checking your local TRU in the mornings and hope you beat the local scalpers. You might also be out of luck with the Voice Changer helmet, I haven't seen any of them since the first Movie line. There only seem to be the Bumblebee versions around now. You might have better luck checking out eBay for the Cullen variant.
Oh and guys, has anyone found any Skystalkers in Nassau or Suffolk county area? I want to get the little guy to hang out with my Mindwipe I recently picked up, but I cant seem to find any in my local stores.

Re: New York Transformers sightings
I actually serendipitously found an Optimus Prime helmet at the Bayshore TRU earlier in the week - there were two, the boxes were beat up and they were covered in dust (probably sitting in the back of the stock room for a long time!), but still in good shape.
I made the rounds looking for Arcee, but still no luck... but it seems like they're becoming more common, so fingers crossed!
(Incidentally, the Bayshore TRU had a TON of Cybertron Ratchets.)

I've been looking everywhere for him too. If I find any I will let you know. Also trying to find the new Iron Man 6 inch figures without any luck. I can't find Legends wheelie either.

Re: New York Transformers sightings
Haven't posted here in a while because I never found anything new until now. Found all the Generations line wave 1 in Toys R Us in Valley Stream. They had at least 6 of each but I went back and they were all gone after one day (passed on BB and Prime and decided to go back for them). However it seems they are out so start hunting.

Re: New York Transformers sightings
Found WFC Prime and Bumblebee at Toys R US in Huntington NY. To my surprise they also had Leader class Starscream and the new Prime with Hooks. I left those for lack of wanting to part with that much cash at once and got the PCCs Searchlight and Huffer instead. TRU does have the buy one get one 50 percent off back though.

Re: New York Transformers sightings
Apologies to those still looking for Generations Thrust. Snagged the last one I found at Lake Grove TRU, so hopefully they will ship in more. From the other TRUs, I hit up today, the Bayshore TRU seemed the most stocked up of all the new stuff... sans Thrust and Drift...

Re: New York Transformers sightings
As of last week, the Bayshore TRU had a ton of new stuff...
Generations/War for Cybertron:
Cybertronian Optimus Prime
Cybertronian Bumblebee
Hunt for Decepticons:
Night Ops Ratchet (Voyager)
Sea Spray (Voyager)
Payload (Voyager)
Sea Attack Ravage (Deluxe)
Ironhide (Deluxe)
Ravage (Legends)
... they also had several different Power Core Combiners sets, but I didn't really take note which.
The Holbrook TRU was mostly a bust, they had the WfC Optimus and a lot of empty pegs... and still a TON of Tuner Mudflaps. :-/
Happy hunting!

Re: New York Transformers sightings
Finally after days of looking found Seaspray at TRU in Carle Place. To my surprise they also have the ROTF Mettalikato set with whirl and bludgeon on clearance for $18.48. Still not worth it to me at that price since all I want is Bludgeon (PCC searchlight makes a much better whirl than that blackout/grindor repaint). However it's cool to see TRU actually clearance an exclusive for once.

Hey everyone. I just got back from Toys R Us in Massapequa (on Sunrise). Picked up Legends Ravage, Brimstone, Hubcap and Seaspray.
They have most of the HFTD line. I didn't see any leaders though. Some ROTF is still there (I know I saw Mudflap and Ravage). They have War for Cybertron Bumblee but no other generations. I saw some Animated stuff too but I don't collect those so I didn't pay much attention.
If you guys in the Long Island area are still having trouble finding HFTD stuff I suggest you check out this toys'r'us or another one. All the Targets by me have nothing, same goes for Walmart.
