TCC has Inferno in slightly damaged boxes for $17.99 available for immediate shipment(I ordered another one). They also have deals on other damaged box toys.

Target Glenbrook has the exclusive Lockdown/Ratchet sets along with the two Universe 2 packs and the movie repaints of flaming Megatron with Jazz and Optimus with Bonecrusher. They also had at least three Animated UM. Everything else was pretty picked over.

Same at TRU except they have alot of Unicrons and Roll Out Primes. They still have plenty of the Titanium Grimlock and Prowl.

Just got Blurr and Swindle from HTS today

. Blurr did not disappoint just as I thought, Swindle is OK, but nothing special IMO. Inferno and Cheetor still have not shipped.

Fri Dec 19, 2008 11:36 am

HTS has Inferno in stock again as of this morning. :APPLAUSE:

Inferno is out of stock (again!) as of this evening.

Got Universe Inferno and Cheetor from HTS today

. I'm impressed with both. Cheetor is much more show accurate then the original figure. I haven't taken Inferno out yet.

I picked up Grimlock activator at WM on Illinois. They have a pretty good selection of older animated and universe. No Shockwave,Skywarp ,or UM. They had a few Anniversary Primes too.

My Inferno from TCC came today, the "damage" to the box was minimal but still marked down none the less. This figure is a must get, great G1 head with excellent detailing throughout. I might have to get the Henkei version of this one. :-?

I do have an extra Inferno- PM me if interested.

The Big K-Mart on West Washington in Indianapolis had 2 Animated Ultra Maganus figures today.

News Credits: 1 · Sat Dec 27, 2008 12:08 am

I found Universe Hound, Cyclonus, Cheetor and Starscream at K-Mart here in Terre Haute just as they were being put out. I picked up Hound, Cyclonus and SS and left Cheetor. This is the only store in TH to have a halfway decent selection of figures. Both WM's and TRU are picked over badly.

Sun Dec 28, 2008 6:35 pm

I found Cyclonus and Cheetor at Meijer on Lima Rd. Hound and SS were already gone.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Dec 28, 2008 9:57 pm

How many of cyclonus and cheetor were left?

or did u get them all? :-(

Have you (barricade) or any1 else found this wave anywhere besides miejer???????

im really curious and anxious to get these figures, but i have had a hard time finding them.

thx as always, all help appreciated.

Mon Dec 29, 2008 5:55 am

Meijer only had one of each and I got Cyclonus

. I left Cheetor as I already got him from HTS.

I checked WM on Coldwater and Target Glenbrook but they are both really wiped out of toys, being only a few days after X-mas. I haven't been to TRU yet.

By the way- hope everyone had a good holiday, got lots of TF's for gifts, and have a safe New Year.

Sam's Club has their exclusive Universe box set on clearance for $29.18-and has plenty of them. I picked one up to keep MIB.

Was at TRU yesterday along with Target Glenbrook. TRU has a fully stocked section with movie scenes on clearance for $15,along with alot of movie voyagers such as Incinerator, SS,Blackout/Scorponok set, some AS deluxes, both titaniums Grimlock and Prowl, the TRU exclusives Inferno and Mudflap and more. Animated was stocked well too but no new waves( Blurr/Swindle). Endcap still has plenty of Unicrons. No new classics to be seen.

Target is still wiped out-

I got notice Hound and my Shadow Commander Armor set shipped from BBTS.

Hope everyone had a good New Year-

Went to TRU last night in Terre Haute. They had a few Universe Deluxes and alot of Voyagers, but nothing new. Everything else was pretty much wiped out. Asked about a truck coming, they said early Friday so I went back today and they had restocked some ASP Deluxes.

Also went to WM on US 41. They had TFA Swindle, Blurr and Blazing Lockdown also TFU Hound, Cheetor, SS and Cyclonus. They in random spots in the normal TF aisle.

Keeping my eyes peeled for TFU Inferno and Legends Brawn, Beachcomber and maybe Bumblebee.

TFA Shadow Blade Megatron is available on HTS. I'm debating on ordering him or not. I like the black and purple deco on the guy.

Just got an e-mail from BBTS saying my Encore Trailbreaker and Hoist have shipped.

Sat Jan 03, 2009 8:25 am

Good to hear things are finally showing up. I still haven't seen any new Animated around here yet but I'm keeping my eyes peeled. I was out yesterday to several stores looking but came up empty handed.

I'm going to Lima,OH tomorrow to TRU to check out what they have. They always seem to be better stocked than the one here in Fort Wayne.

Got notice from BBTS my Elita One bust is in

I picked up Hoist when TRU had rereleased alot of the G1 figures years back. I never did get Trailbreaker(he was not one they redid). I may pick him up if they have clearance sales.

I'm liking the Shadow Blade Megatron too- I also can't wait for the G1 colored Shockwave repaint. Solves the problem of buying two toys for the two figures.

Sat Jan 03, 2009 7:03 pm

The Beech Grove Wal-Mart had one of: Cyclonus, Hound, and Cheetor and 2 of the new TF:U Starscream.

Mon Jan 05, 2009 7:26 pm

I snagged a deluxe Hound at WM in Van Wert on my way back from Lima,OH Sunday.

I went out on a hunt today since I won't have another chance until sometime next week...

WM in Clinton had of all things, a Universe 2 pack from Black Friday 2007 that had Cyb. Downshift and Cannonball in it. I already have those two figures so I left it. It was interesting to see nonetheless.

TRU here in Terre Haute had nothing new. They had those Movie keychains on clearance.

K Mart had 2 Universe Starscreams and 1 Hound.

WM on US 41 had nothing new except for the Animated Deluxes.

WM on SR 46 had Universe Stormcloud and Onslaught with the fixed siren...2 each. It's the first time I've seen any Ultras at this Wal-Mart.

I got home and had Encore Trailbreaker and Hoist waiting on the porch.

Wed Jan 07, 2009 6:19 am

WM on Coldwater has the new Legends Brawn,Bumblebee and Beachcomber. I passed as I don't usually buy that series. They also had Animated SS in the Legends series as well. There were a bunch of Animated voyagers on the shelves but little else. No new Animated or Universe. Still had some 25th Ann. Primes too.

Fri Jan 09, 2009 8:57 am

I had my Shadow Commander armor set waiting yesterday when I got home and I have to say this is even better than the Ultra Magnus set. The extra additions are a nice touch.

I stopped by WM on Lima yesterday, they are pretty much wiped out except for Treadbolt, Blades, Blaster and a couple activators.

Sat Jan 10, 2009 12:59 am

Coldwater Wal-Mart had four each of the Animated Blurr, Swindle, and Blazing Lockdown tonight.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jan 12, 2009 1:42 pm

Found TFA Shadow Blade Megatron at WM on US 41.

WM on SR 46 is doing a reset. I think I'll check back there tomorrow to see if they got any new stock in overnight. They had plenty of space for it.

News Credits: 1 · Fri Jan 16, 2009 8:13 pm

I got Universe Brawn and Beachcomber today.

I ordered Universe Inferno off HTS earlier this week. It says it won't ship until next Monday...but we'll see.

Sat Jan 17, 2009 7:37 am

I picked up Blazing Lockdown at Coldwater WM,besides that, a trip to K-mart south was a waste of time. They had a few universe Ironhide and nothing but old stuff. I did see Legends Animated Prowl,SS and OP though.

My Wreck-Gar,Atomic Lugnut and the Jetfire/Jetstorm pack are in at BBTS and I should have them by Wed.

Still no sign of the new Universe, but I am going out later today on a small hunt.

I still have an extra Inferno and Hound MIB. If interested PM me.

Mon Jan 19, 2009 9:05 am

Stopped by WM south last night. They are in the middle of a reset as well so I'm going back in a day or two. They did have several Animated UM and Shadow Blade Megatron. I passed on Megs- I figure he'll be a clearance item eventually. They had one Swindle along with alot of other old deluxes,some voyagers including Blitzwing,Grimlock and Prime. Legends Prowl and Prime were the only ones in that group.Universe wise they had 2 Cheetors and a couple of Ironhides.
