On Thursday, no Arcee at TRU in Terre Haute. My wife called the one in Evansville and they didn't have it either so I had her call the one in Champaign. They didn't have it either, but they said they were getting a truck on Friday. We called again yesterday and they had one Arcee and they held for me. So I now have the one and only Arcee that they had. I also grabbed a Ratchet, there were two left.

Hey guys I just went to tru. And while I wasn't on a tf hunt I did keep my eyes peeled for new tfs. But all I found was freeway jazz and that 3 pack with megatron soundwave and the fallen. Ha skids. Repaint mudflap nothing that hasn't been there for months. I am also a sonic fan and I just had to get the new sonic racer and shadow racer. When I go back for knuckles I will be sure to swing by the transformers isle for you guys. For some reason I can't find my previous posts on this thread so anyways: welcome acknowledged starscream6

Snagged the only ROTF Bludgeon at Walmart on 41 and 30 in Schererville just now.

Only one there and box has a dented up corner but I plan on opening it anyhow.

The only figure in my collection from any Bay associated movie :grin:

Found HA Barricade at WM south Saturday. It was the only one. I also picked up Lockdown as well. They had all the new deluxes out, Ratchet,Brawn,and the new Sideswipe. That Barricade kicks ass!

biased opinion much??? lol

lockdown looks amazing but feels brittle :BANG_HEAD:

and his left arm is prone to falling off

BRAWN is where its at! omg i love this mold! feels so well made. i love the double pistols and shoulder cannon! hes a bit kibbly but makes him look bulky and badass! i have mine w/ my classics

I went to TRU today to get my knuckles racer. I saw the same transformers I saw last time. They crammed the dc stuff right next to the sonic stuff. I looked for the combo packs you mentioned. I didn't see them but I did notice the toys did look new. They had what appeared to be a 75th anniversary shiny sticker. You might want to call and ask if the figures are they're there. I might of overlooked the toys since it was close to closing time. I hope I helped and I didn't dash your hopes.

Stopped at the Walmart in Michigan City off 94 yesterday around 3pm. There was a Human Alliance Barricade there for some lucky fan.

Thanks, I just got off the phone wit TRU. *Sniff* they said they wouldn't have any new sonic stuff until next month! And sonic is a TRU exclusive. I'm not really looking for anything right now. But I am looking for hd bb and wingblade prime even though they won't be out for awhile. But who knows, I saw elecrtostatic soundwave so bb should be here soon. My collection is mainly tf animated so I will also check TRU for new animated figures. TRU really needs to step up. They don't have ANY new tfs

I hope I can find new stuff when I go back to TRU. I just got my cash on my debit card off of authorization hold(long story) after 2 weeks. So if I'm lucky I will be going to TRU to get my hyper metal sonic. If I go I will do a sighting. And I will search once more for the dc motu combo packs.

Went ahead and picked up Brawn and Ratchet deluxes since the south WM had so many. All the Lockdowns were gone when I went back though, glad I picked mine up already.

You are right Starscream6, Lockdown is a pretty flimsy piece of work. Both arms popped off real easy, especially the left. You can see the really cheap plastic used in the ball joints. Too bad to, he looks so much more ominous than the Animated figure.

he makes for a really cool looking display piece...nothing more IMO. the flimsy construction of him really ruins it for me. i mean come on, these are kids toys. what kid wants a toy that feels cheap and just falls apart whenever u try to play w/ it? :-?

the ROTF line had had alot of hit and miss quality issues. w/ my experience anyways. im ready for it to end truthfully. im looking forward to a few from the upcoming "generations" line but even then there isnt alot that been revealed yet that really has gotten me excited. :roll:

that drift, and thrust are probably my most desired. i read all the comics so the drift figure is really on my WANT list :grin:

ok rant over. i think im going to open a toy now to lift my spirits! lol

Hey guys, I went to TRU yesterday and I got my metal sonic. I looked for new tfs again. There were none. I should just try other stores. Starscream6,I couldn't find those figures are they TRU exclusive? I did see this awesome looking 75th anniversary batman that came with a batarang and a grapple shooter.
I thought I was the only one who had a lockdown with the arm that likes to fall off. Has anyone else noticed lockdowns head on the instructions is not lockdowns it looks ... different.

Thu Mar 04, 2010 9:53 pm

yes, they are a TRU exclusive. and the only way to get the masters of the universe classics figs outside of the net.

i called TRU today bout the TFA arcee.....they were cluless and i couldnt afford the time to make the trip.

I know the feeling my friend. It's embarrassing to call a store and ask about a figure that's not there yet. It's even worse when the figure is TRU exclusive because when they don't have it, THEY DON'T HAVE IT. If you call. 1-800-toys r us you can ask when they'll get the figures. But it's online and they might not know either.

My local TRU had 2 Cybertron Mode Ratchets this morning, but no Arcee.

Hey guys I'm at the south wal-mart and I'm doing a live sighting while the names are fresh in my mind (this is possible because I'm using my blackberry) the only new figures I see are ha barricade,brawn,deluxe ratchet, and the ez devestator for 35 bucks (yikes) he's about the size of a deluxe. I wouldn't buy this wal mart rip off. It will be hard finding the individual legends figures but they would be cheaper even with taxes. (The south wal mart closes at 12 and its about that time so I'm getting outta here). I'm at home now. New transformers are extinct. I hope this helped.

Sun Mar 07, 2010 7:46 am

was wondering how much that legends devs was gona be....i think i will mos def pass. maaaaaaaaaybe if he was in the g1 colors =P~

but even then, hed still just look like a green and purple gorrila w/ a wolf head :SICK:

well guys i caved, got tired of making the trips to TRU and found a arcee on ebay for 20 bucks! not bad considering id probably spend that difference in price on the gas going to TRU every week. BUT i still would like another to keep carded. but not if it denies any of you guys the joy of having her, so if i find one ill let you all know and sell her to you at cost. :KREMZEEK:

Mon Mar 08, 2010 7:11 pm

TRU was fully stocked!!! :KREMZEEK:

w/ nothing but disappointment! :BANG_HEAD:

nothing new in the world of TF's

but i did find a 6 in vinyl smurf toy (similar to mighty muggs) for only 2 bucks on clearance!....eh, y not :roll:

http://www.youtube.com/user/pr0w1 · Tue Mar 09, 2010 9:50 pm

Vinyl smurfs...what the smurf?!
Just kidding. For two dollars I would have gotten one. Now if they just had thunder cats vinyls...
(Also kidding) has anyone ever started watching an old tv show and thought it was really awesome. That's how I started watching transformers g1 I watched it on veoh but it stops at rise of atlantis.
On the serious note, when the smurfing smurf do the wfc figures come out? Rotf is getting old an played out and animated has only been canceled for a year now (hasbro can't string us along forever).
So FistfulxOfxEnergon/Starscream6 nice wind up futurama shiny bender review
