I'd die if I found a store with Cybertron leftovers. I even been hitting up Walgreens and such second-hand places hoping for something...

yo man over on blanding blvd. i found this comic/toy shop called rogers collectables. never knew about it only found it because of searching ebay for stuff. but lookie what i got. i think the addy is 1959 blanding blvd. corner of blanding and san juan.

last night i picked up the DARTH VADER/DEATHSTAR at wallmart on beach. not the super wallmart but the one closest to the beach. they had voyager megatron and optimus. alot of deluxe movie BB's(not concept) and megatron optimus two pack. primus like a mofo...and some random classics.

That is waaaaaay away from me. But after I get my aparment, that'll be like.... A ten minute drive for me.

Wouldn't mind jumpinmg in the car right now to go for a visit, but I was just down in St. Augustine yesterday doing some hunting. My gas tank is running on fumes right now.

By the way, have you noticed Targets have 6" titaniums on clearance all around town? $11

Speaking of Targets, you wouldn't happen to have seen a Target anywhere with a few leftover Robovisions, have you? I know the chances of the answer to that question being yes are pretty much non-existent, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyways...

SUPER EDIT POST BUMP!!

Starting to see the Evolution of a hero two-packs with Battle-damaged Camaro Concept Bumblebee everywhere. Well, in every-Target-where, I mean. Also, starting to see the Beatmix Bumblebee in Targets as well.

I saw Robovision Prime on June 3rd but never saw one again. Glad I picked one up when I did or I would have missed out on an awesome figure. The regular Voyager Prime is still avaliable though and is every bit as good.

Anybody up our state seeing the Best Buy exclusives out yet or are we all waiting for the sixteenth to hit the stores? I burned some gas hitting up a Best Buy yesterday, and they weren't stocking the shelves with 'em until Tuesday.

BTW, Larsgoes... That store where you found those G1 Transformers... What else did you see? You didn't see anything more recent... Like... A Unicron. Did ya?

um no i didn't see uni. they have some energon and armada but i have to say i don't know much about those series. mostly a G1 dude. they had a good amount of G1 guys.

Anybody living in/visiting Jacksonville:

Just went to Family Dollar on Arlington Road. They've got Cybertron Leaders for $20. None of the other Family Dollars around town have got these guys, not that I've seen.

Do they have Galaxy Force Prime?

Super edit post bump... Again.

Unless they restocked him, not anymore. I got the last two Cybertron leaders that were there, one GF Prime and one Metroplex.

At any rate, I would like to encourage anyone in the Jacksonville area to head on over to Roger's Collectibles. Up near the top of this page, Larsgoes has posted the address. Mapquest if you can't find your own way, and get on over there! After I go back with more money...

With that, the new news over on the toy forums now launches us Floridians into a hunting frenzy for Hasbro's MP Starscream. May we pool our efforts in an attempt to help each other.

So far, nothing.

Yes. MP Starscream. I'll be watching this thread like a hawk to see if anyone sees him.

This isnt a toy sighting, Im just listing information for everyone that plans on getting MP Starscream, I live in Tampa, Florida.. anyway I called Walmart corp and they told me that the release date for this figure is Nov 15, dont know if this is accurate, seeing Texas, and other places have him for sale..Has anyone else heard this..

Been hittimng the same four Wal-Marts in Jacksonville every day ever since Sunday afternoon.

Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250




So far, nothing. The first store in that list there has sales figures a few notches above all the others, so I asked the Toys Department Manager there to run the UPC number for this MP Starscream. It came up as zero's all along the board. Nothing in stock; none on the way. He then tried to order it and brought up the result "Cannot be store ordered."

There was a Hasbro rep there that paid very close attention to the conversation but said nothing...

Just checked the Walmart on Emerson and no MP Starscreams yet.

You didn't happen to see any leftover Cybertron figures there, did ya?

No, they don't have any more Cybertron.

jacksonville guys PM me if you find MP starscream anywhere i will do the same for you guys.

They were resetting the Transformers aisle when I went there earlier. I did not see a listing on the planogram for MP Starscream nor did I see MP SS himself, but the reset should be done around six-ish or so later today. Someone should head over there and check it out.

I'll try and head over there tomorrow if I remember.

I just checked and they still have not restocked at the Beach Blvd. Walmart.

Yeah, I just got back from there. That seriously pissed me off.

They're shifting their aisles, moving Transformers towards the back of the aisles while moving Spiderman up front... They've taken down the TF's and tossed them into carts then hung up all the Spiderman stuff... Then pushed the carts full of TF's to the back room. They don't have a single TF out for any customer to buy.

They are taking way too long to rest the aisle. It should take no more than two people and an entire day's work. Having all the TF's in the backroom is horrible business practive.

*Sigh* This would not be like this if this was a Target or TRU exclusive. Anytime I hear Wally World exclusive I break down in tears...

I live in Orlando and work the graveyard shift so I usually hit up at least one Wal*Mart on my way home evry day. I have checked 5 of them in the Orlando area (Sand Lake/John Young, the new one on Turkey Lake, 535 near 192, Osceola Parkway and 192 near Medieval Times) and no luck on MP SS although they do seem to have gotten restocked on all the leader class figures.

Yeah, all three leaders have become... Hell, Larsgoes2hell has probably been to that Wal-Mart on Beach & San Pablo and seen the massive amount of movie Leaders.

Hey, in the very first page of this Florida thread, somebody mentioned hitting up Bealls Outlets to find leftover figures that get sent their way, kinda like Family Dollar & their $20 Cybertron Leaders... Has anyone here hit up a Bealls Outlet recently and seen any TF's?

I know we're all unified hunting for Hasbro MP Starscream, but if anyone knows of any place that they've seen Cybertron figures, let me know.



On the topic of Hasbro MP Starscream, would any Jacksonvillians like to take our unified hunting to the next level and start exchanging phone numbers? Helluva lot faster than logging into Seibertron and finding a PM that's five hours old...

EDIT: Went hunting for 4 hours. Beach Blvd. Wal-Mart has restocked the Transformers section, but still no MP Starscream for this town...

Still no MP-3 in Gainesville. Though there has been an impressive leader restock on 13th St./ 441.

After stupidly telling Larsgoes in a PM about only to learn he picked it up about a month ago...

Jacksonville guys: At the Walmart @ Beach & San Pablo, the Death Star Vader is four bucks cheaper than everywhere else.

Also, Larsgoes and I have taken our hunting of MP Starscream to the phone number idea I mentioned. The Floridian TF hunters has grown an offshoot branch: the Jacksonvillian TF hunters.

MP SS: nothing down here
