This goes along a sighting of older stuff but the Kokomo Target has clearanced out their ROTF stuff. Deluxes at $5.04 and they have the newest wave with a few Rachets, Brawns, and Lockdown. They also had 1 HA Skids left at 14 & change. No voyagers left that I could see. I'm hoping that this means they soon move it all to the clearance aisle for the new stuff!

On a side note/ plea.... Can someone in the Kokomo area who is independently wealthy buy out the remaining Walmart & Meijer TF stock?! Target has actually priced their stuff to hopefully sell out but they didn't have much to begin with. Maybe a tycoon with disposable income at his/her beckon call can buy out what's left from the other 2 stores and give to needy children! Anyone out there like that?.... anyone?!..... ugh... looks like maybe by Xmas they will take them out for what wave 1 stuff :-(

lol

Stopped at Tru And Target Today to see, #1 if Target did the new reset (no) and if I could snag a Drift or Thrust at TRU(no) :BANG_HEAD:

. They did have voyagers Night Ops Ratchet and Payload (passed on both) and Leaders Battle Hook Prime and SS. Still have Seaspray if anyone is still looking.

gave up awhile ago on TRU having drift or thrust...picked up thrust on ebay, im still amazed on how solid the figure is after the mold has been used so many times! i also love the metallic flake they put in the plastic.

just got my drift from hasbrotoyshop.com, im in love! such a well designed solid figure! the posibility on him is just sick! easily my favorite mold from this new line next to WFC prime.

drift is to the gen line what sunstreaker did for the classics 2.0 line. i cant wait for the blurr repaint/retool :KREMZEEK:

The local TRU has Thrust and Drift. I already ordered them from WM.com so I passed. They also had Battle Ops BB. I did pick up Legends Rampage and Ravage.

they are both incredible figures, you wont be disappointed.

i managed to preorder a sdcc blaster from hasbrotoyshop.com. pretty excited for this figure as i have always wanted him...although i was forced to cancel my preorder for MP grims thru TRU.com. i could afford both but i thought it was too much and and i already have the takara version. im sure i will find one at TRU someday, maybe even on clearance!

i pretty much just want another to display in dino mode and for that awesome crown! lol

I went to TRU today and found Drift and Thrust! They also had Battle Ops BB (pass for $60), Night Ops Ratchet, Seaspray,Battle Hook Prime and Leader SS. Didn't see any new scouts though... All in all, it was a good day.

I still can't find ROTF Lockdown anywhere! :/ I do kind of want Drift though. How easy is he to transform?

with the new generations line and the HFD...the chances are very slim for you to find lockdown in stores. i only ever say one.

drift is really fun to transform, not fiddly or loose at all. he truly is a solid figure w/ great articulation. to answer your question though, not hard...not simple. just right

Fri Jul 30, 2010 9:48 am

After I run my errands I plan on hitting some of the local TRU and Walmarts to try to find Drift!

Fri Jul 30, 2010 12:07 pm

You were right SS6, Drift is a really nice solid piece of work. I'm glad I snagged two of them at TRU!! I like Thrust, the metallic paint job is sweet. I still have not seen one new TF at WM or Target yet, isn't the official date like August 1st..?

Fri Jul 30, 2010 12:16 pm

Two hours of driving but no success.

Did find the Legends class Devastator though. I'm tempted to go back and get it....

im not sure.

even thought i love both of those molds enough to own another to keep MISB, i couldnt bring myself to deny someone else the awesome they bring =P~

so what are your thoughts on MP roddy? im freaking sold! im a hot rod slut so i knew i would be. it would be really cool if he can somehow change to hot rod, even a younger looking face plate switch gimmick would do.

and what about the 2011 gen line? there is ALOT to be excited about with it! jazz? tracks? grapple? perceptor? scourge? even those sweet legends?....yes please!

hell, even that PPC dinobot looks cool

I saw Lockdown at Walgreens this afternoon. Of course, it's about 2 or 3 bucks more there.

I went to the target at southport and they had NOTHING! NO JOKE! I was so upset because I saw the target post and I was so happy. All they had was a sign that said: Restocking: Area coming soon. They did have a lot of rotf figures on sale though...

Sun Aug 01, 2010 7:15 pm

What road is that Walmart on? I may stop by to pick one up!

News Credits: 1 · Mon Aug 02, 2010 10:20 am

Wal-Mart on SR46 has Bonzai-tron.They also had waves 1 & 2 of the PCC 5 packs.

Mon Aug 02, 2010 2:15 pm

Target out on Illinois has done the fall reset. I got HA Jazz, there was one left. They had the 4 new scouts and all of the new two packs. Pass on all of those although I did like the repaint of Barricade and the Arcee is pinker in the two pack then the single release. Have some of the new activators, which I'm not into. They also had all the PCC that TRU had originally. I found the FAB Arcee finally at WM across the street, left her too.

I have MP Roddy on order, it's kickass! :KREMZEEK:

Mon Aug 02, 2010 2:44 pm

Walmarts have nothing at all or just alot of old series out.
I just hit that Target on Saturday and still one Ultimate Bumblebee. Still no G1 repaint Jazz but I did get a G1 repaint Starscream. Still had several of those left. One deluxe Dreadwing and the rest of the deluxe pegs are empty. Nothing at any Wal Mart or other stores north of Ft Wayne either. Don't waste time looking yet until they get the new shipments. The good thing is, when the new shipments do finally hit the market will be saturated and we'll be able to get everything were missing now.

I was at the Walmart on St Rd.37 yesterday and they had at least 4 voyager primes and 3 voyager megatrons, plus 4 Ultimate BB and 1 of every new deluxe except for concept bumblebee. Left everything except for dropkick and final battle jazz (have the rest). Kohl's next door had (believe it or not) all the 1st series deluxes including 3 bumblebees. Guess nobody thought to look at Kohl's, they aren't big into toys around here
