I got TFA Activators Thundercracker at the south Wal-Mart this evening. It was the only one they had. I'm not too big on these, but he doesn't seem to be having a voyager class release anytime soon so this one will be the best representation I have of him.

I ordered TFA Skywarp and Shockwave from HTS a few days ago. I'm eagerly anticipating seeing them on my doorstep.

TRU has an endcap with at leat 12 Unicrons if anyone is interesed along with Supreme OP. They still have titanium Grimlock and Prowl too. Other than that, same old.

K-mart had new Animated X-mas ornaments OP and BB and the exclusive mini-con packs for 24.99. I got the ornaments but passed on the set, never being a real mini-con fan.

I went to Target looking for Springer/Ratbat set but haven't seen anything yet.

WM has nothing new either but have restocked and have a really good selection of everything that's out.

I, too, ordered Shockwave from HTS and will hopefully see it on Monday. I'm waiting on Skywarp to show up in stores.

. I wished I ordered two now, I want one as both characters.

I thought about a second one to keep as Longarm. I might grab the second one whenever I see it in a store, but we'll see. I'm still waiting on the first one though.

TRU had the new Patrol BB activator. I didn't get it since I'm not collecting that series. FYI Shockwave is a really cool mold and I'm definately getting another one when it finally hits the shelves.

I finally found Universe Ironhide at the Apple Glen WalMart in Ft. Wayne. He did have a blue face though. I think I might go for the Henkei.

Target has the exclusive Springer/Ratbat and Roadbuster/Dirge sets available for order on their website. I ordered both this a.m.

I've also ordered the Target 2 packs. They should be here late next week.

Thu Nov 20, 2008 7:29 pm

I got the Target 2 packs today UPS. I like both equally as well, there never was a Dirge in the Cybertron series to go with the Starscream, and all the other repaints are done well- with no issues.
I haven't taken them out of the box yet, but it looks like I have the wrong comics in mine as well. :???:

Got the Sam's Club 5 pack today. They had plenty to go around.

Also got both Target 2 packs earlier this week.

Fri Nov 21, 2008 2:45 pm

I passed on the Sam's club- I have all 5 already and the only one recolored was Optimus and that didn't justify spending the $40. The MP UM rerelease is due out any day according to BBTS and I have one preordered so I'm saving the cash for that.

Stopped by TRU for x-mas shopping-the 25th ann. Prime was in heavy stock, along with Unicron and about every other figure out now, except Animated Blitzwing and Grimlock.
Titanium Grimlock and Prowl were in stock, but still no UM
They still have alot of movie toys (the Scorponok battle set is on sale).

Meijer Lima Rd. has buy one get one 1/2 off on all voyagers and deluxes and has a pretty good selection.

Sat Nov 22, 2008 9:43 pm

I finally made it out to the new Target on Thomas Rd. They have pretty good stock on about everything including Stormcloud.
It looked like they had all the Universe and Animated voyagers and deluxes including Grimlock and Blitzwing.
They had none of the new Universe box sets, and I didn't see any space on the shelf for them. Ditto for the Ratchet and Lockdown sets.

The WM on Illinois was pretty wiped, save for activators and older stuff. I've seen the Thundercracker activator about every place I've been to, but no Grimlock.

Sun Nov 23, 2008 8:11 pm

Stopped by Target Glenbrook and found an endcap of all the new box sets-Universe and Animated. They had good stock on the Stealth Lockdown and Rescue Ratchets,(5)leader sets, 25th Prime and the Springer/Ratbat set. I didn't see any Dirge/Roadbuster or UM. No new Classics, though I saw new legends Hound.

I only took Lockdown home, I'm not really crazy about the yellow repaint of Ratchet, although I liked the legends Prowl and Stascream figures that came with it.

Big Lots Southgate has the new Animated OP slippers for kids, they also have alot of various TF KO's in stock as well.

Tue Nov 25, 2008 6:13 am

I had my alternator/binaltech gas tank & matrix set waiting for me when I got home last night. It really adds to my binaltech OP- now he has his own BFG!

Sat Dec 06, 2008 9:00 pm

I found Animated Skywarp and Shockwave at WM south.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Dec 07, 2008 7:50 pm

hey barricade, how many were there???
I went today and didnt find any

any more tips on shockwave/skywark would be appreciated.

thx

Mon Dec 08, 2008 6:02 am

They had two of each and I only bought Skywarp since I have Shockwave already.

I was at Target Glenbrook last night and they have all the battle sets on an endcap along with the Lockdown/Ratchet sets and believe it or not I saw Animated Ultra Magnus on the endcap too.

TRU is pretty wiped out, I stopped by looking for the new deluxes Hound, Cheetor and Cyclonus but found nothing.

News Credits: 1 · Thu Dec 11, 2008 7:55 pm

I got an e-mail from HTS shop saying that Overkill and Dragstrip have shipped.

Keeping my eyes peeled for TFA Blurr and Swindle & TFU Hound and Cyclonus...maybe Starscream too. I haven't decided on him yet. Also, Beachcomber and Brawn.

Fri Dec 12, 2008 7:48 am

I just ordered Swindle,Inferno,Blurr and Cheetor(all are in
stock)) off HTS and used the holiday25 coupon for 25% off. They were out of stock on Hound and Cyclonus.

News Credits: 1 · Sat Dec 13, 2008 10:24 pm

Inferno, Swindle and Blurr are now out of stock on HTS. Hound and Cyclonus are still out of stock.

I did receive Dragstrip and Overkill today.

We went to Wal-mart on SR 46 this evening. Their selection was pretty picked over. There were no TFU Deluxes at all. They did have two TFA Ultra Magnuses though.

I found Animated Legends Prowl and Bumblebee at K-Mart this afternoon. I didn't pick them up.

TRU has shrunk their TF section considerably. They had alot of the TFA Leader Bulkhead and Megatron with or without the Activators.

Both WM's are still pretty limited. There's hardly any Universe deluxes to be found anywhere.
