I agree local seems to regressing not progressing. I have just resigned myself to what I've found or ordered online is what I'm going to get. Warpath and Windcharger are really the two big ones I'd still like to get. Maybe Wreckgar, but I'd have to get two of him (in my mind at least) to make it worth while. I'd like to get a G2 laser prime to repaint, but I haven't seen him since I got my Perceptor a month or so ago at TRU. In other new I just saw the cgi renders of HOS schockwave, and I think thats going to be my firstbig ticket item of the year.

Ebay is ok on some stuff, but you know you'll be kicking yourself over paying 2x+ for Perceptor, Wheeljack, Thundercracker, etc when they are warming pegs in a few months......

There is a guy on Ebay right now selling the wave 2 RTS line and he is from Kentucky. How much longer do you think it will be until we see the stuff here?

Where have you all found your RTS figures? I live in Anderson and I have only come across them at The Kmart here and the Kohls in Muncie. Nothing in the northside of Indy. All wave 1 so far.

I've gotten all my RTS at toys R us and kohls, but then all I have in that line is Jazz and Perceptor. I ended up getting kup, scourge, thundercracker and wheeljack from bbts (I was way too excited about kup to wait to find him retail.). All I've seen at walmarts here are thunderwings and skullgrins.

I don't know if this will help much but I took my kids to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis yesterday and found the mother-load of Reveal the Shield toys. There were at least 5-6 Perceptors, 5-6 G2 Optimus Primes, 4-5 Classic Bumblebees, and at least 2 Wrek-Gars. They were a little pricey, $15.98 a piece, but I've not found them here in Ft. Wayne. The girl had to go look for the Wrek-Gar and said they had at least 2 more cases. What the heck? I'm glad I found them but at the freakin' museum?

Kup and Scourge are at WM west. Go get 'em if you want them! I did make the rounds yesterday, found ZIP...

anyone ever hit up TJ Maxx??

Sat Apr 16, 2011 10:59 pm

This has nothing to do with sightings but thought I'd ask anyway. My son recently got a hold of one of the old Kronoform/Takara watch robot/Transformers. I wanted to see if anyone out there has an old one they would want to let go of or at least one of the old wrist bands so he can wear his new "watch". Thanks.

The Children's Museum recently (and I think permanently) inducted the LAM Bumblebee (and maybe the Transformers in general) into their children's pop culture icons exhibit.

Yesterday at Target in Elkhart (near South Bend), in a clearance rack, I found RTS figures for $8.26. Got Jazz and Tracks.

They never once appeared on shelves, but now they are being cleared out. Go figure.

Thanks to the guy who said there were RTS figures at the Childredn's Museum. Got my last needed deluxe there last week. It is the only place I have found Wreck-Gar in all the places I have been in Indiana. They had one left.......

And no, there were no Voyagers or Scouts. Bummer.

For anyone around Kokomo, Walmart has 1 each of kup & Scourge plus as far as I can tell, they are on clearance with everything else at $7. Hope someone deserving or in need grabs these up

Thu May 12, 2011 8:57 am

Kokomo Meijer has their pegs full of DOTM as of this morning. As far as I could tell, the full range of Wave 1 assortments for Legends, Commanders, Deluxes, Voyagers, and Leaders.

only really looking for DOTM shockwave...hopefully can pick one up without too much searching on monday

Sun May 15, 2011 8:15 am

Was out at Target west yesterday and they had all the movie toys out already. Sentinel Prime was what I was looking for, but they were all gone, so I'll be out looking first thing tomorrow. I picked up a couple of deluxes and two of the HA scouts. So far this line is underwhelming me...first off with the small size everything is....

THIS!

Im serious as a heart attack when I say just about everything from this line I have seen will be an easy pass.

I will be spending my efforts working on my G1 collection :grin:

Sun May 15, 2011 2:40 pm

I picked up Sentinel Prime and Megatron and I LOVE both of them. Sentinel is a bit annoying to get into alt mode, but overall very cool. Megatron is a bit small, but it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would.

I found some DOTM at Target west....no shockwaves (is he supposed to out yet?) but I did cave and get "voyager" Prime. You kinda gotta get Primes :lol:

He looks cool, but the size is definitely in between a deluxe and a voyager, I really hope this doesnt spill into the other lines :BANG_HEAD:

Shockwave will be hit or miss at first as he is in the 2nd wave. After seeing what Walmart had to offer though I am really disappointed in the size of the Voyagers. They looked to be about deluxe size in comparison. Unacceptable, expecially for $19.

yea, only SLIGHTLY taller than a deluxe. same size as Grimstone or FP Protector. Just got done playing with mine....this guy is ALL legs! looks a little strange but a nice figure. Everything is really tight and feels of quality plastic. The Mechtech is yet another gimmick that the figure (and I for that matter) could have done without, just too damn big IMO.

Ultimate prime might be another must have next to Shockwave for me but I need to see some reviews first. Anyone know what size class he is? I really havnt been following the DOTM toy line details

Mon May 16, 2011 10:22 am

I heard Ultimate Prime is big as a leader (they say Buster Prime) with trailer. For $100 is ought to be big. I picked up Sentinel Prime, Roadbuster, Topspin and Skyhammer this a.m. I saw no Shockwave anywhere, but didn't try TRU.

Mon May 16, 2011 3:47 pm

Got Shockwave and Skyhammer this morning. Saw everything else in the line up for sale as well.

Wait, what?!? :BOOM:

$100? wow, no thanks :lol:

On a whim I stopped by Southtown Walmart to see what all they had in DOTM voyagers (looking for Shockwave). I didn't really pay much attention as I passed by their generations selection, but had to stop and ask myself why that Skulgrin shelf warmer looked so red? Sure enough they Had x2 Warpath (now only one), x2 Thundercrackers, x2 Wheeljacks, a Scourge there. I wasn't sure if some of you were still looking for those or not.

How is Skyhammer? He's about the only one besides Shockwave I'm interested in.
