Picked up the evolution of a hero 2 pack at Target Glenbrook (they only had 6 sets) on Sunday when their sale ad came out. They had about everything out except voyagers. The 2-in-1 beamers are on clearance for 7.48 so I picked up the optimus, will probably go back for bumblebee as the detail on these are nice. Still have some x-mas ornaments and stockings.

I also picked up the metallic megatron and ratchet at Best Buy on movie day- they had them in their ad on the 14th but didn't put them out til the 16th. They only had 4 sets and they were gone as soon as the store opened. Their second store here sold out immediately too.

Found the robot replica 2 pack with battle damaged prime and megatron at the Wal Mart south. Had a restock on deluxes but not much else.

I'm pretty much just awaiting that final batch to be released now, with the Osprey and S7 Buggy, plus Evac and Desert Attack Brawl. Not sure when that stuff is slated for release, but I'll try and give a heads up in here when I see them around.

An apparent restock of wave 2 movie figures at the east WM here in Terre Haute. They're on an end cap in a cardboard display. That's the first time I've seen a display like that for movie figures. They also had wave 2 Voyagers, at least one of each. They also have several classic Jetfires. I picked one up to take it out of the box and display it. My wife hates my display. :lol:

Those shelves that are made for storing CD's work great if anyone is looking for a way to display their figs.

I guess I'm just biding my time until the Allspark line comes out.

Good stock of deluxes, leaders, and a few voyagers about everywhere, Target has a couple evolution sets left.

Got the Best Buy Ratchet and Megatron on movie day.

Anyone seen the MP Starscream at Wal-Mart yet?

Walmart SuperCenter on CR 6 in Elkhart has tons of deluxes, including Arcee and 77 BB. Also Rescue Ratchet, and I picked up the lone Masterpiece Starscream they had on the shelf. There weren't any left, but at least they are carrying him. Should be restocked soon.

There was also an Alternator 'Rumble' for $13. I don't know anything about these things.

Found MP Starscream at the east Wal-Mart in Terre Haute. There were several on the shelf.

I've had no luck trying to find Starscream in Muncie or Fort Wayne as of late. The Wal-Mart at Chapel Ridge in the Fort DOES have an unusual amount of Cybertron Primus figures there.

Have you had any luck with Starscream yet, barricade?

by **barricade2218** » Wed Nov 28, 2007 7:07 pm

Not much to report here in Fort Wayne except if you were a parent looking for a movie transformer you might as well give up 'cept for Ultimate BB,Leader Megs and Brawl, and cyberslammers.

I haven't seen MP Starscream around here yet. I did have a chance to pick some of them up while in Des Moine, Iowa a few weeks ago. In Merriville I found one in a Wal Mart I stopped at. I was lucky enough to find 10 at a Wal Mart in Des Moines and bought a couple more that I sold on E-Bay. I also got a couple more sets of Best Buy Megs and Ratchet(surprised to still find them on the shelf), sold one, still have one more set if anyone is interested.

Botcon 08 is going to be in Cincinnatti,OH if you haven't heard.

Other than that, just waiting for the stuff I ordered from BBTS.

I got lucky and my brother got me a Starscream for my birthday. He found it at the Wal-Mart in Anderson on his way to work. I've had good luck in Anderson before and suggest checking there if you get frustrated.

I was at TRU ( Glenbrook) on Monday and found new allspark power camshaft,cliffjumper and landmine. Stock was good on all except cliffjumper, which there were only two left of after I got mine.

by **barricade2218** » Sun Dec 30, 2007 5:46 pm

Today while at Wal-Mart on SR 37 I found the Screen Battle sets. They only had First Encounter and Final Stand, but I managed to get one of each. There was only one Final Stand left.
Good New Year to you all-

by **barricade2218** » Fri Jan 11, 2008 8:19 pm

I was out on a brief toy hunt this evening and found Target at Glenbrook had all the deluxes(including camshaft,landmine and cliffjumper),scouts, and several voyagers as well as leaders,fabs, and the screen battles. TRU was bone dry save for one lone metroplex and a prime turnaround. It looked as if they are restaging the action figures.

I'm doing a Wal-Mart run tomorrow.

What's up with everybody else?

by **barricade2218** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 8:11 pm

Today I saw Nightwatch Optimus at every Wal-Mart and Target I stopped at. Targets also had First Strike Prime and Offroad Ironhide. Wal-marts were full stocked and one even had a couple 08 concept bb deluxe along with the allspark trio of deluxes out too. Nothing on Evac :-(

which is what I am looking for.

I found NW Prime at both Wal-Marts here in Terre Haute. Haven't seen much else. I found some Allspark Legends 2 packs at Wal-Mart a couple weeks ago and I bought them. TRU has restocked with wave 2 deluxes and wave 2 Voyagers. Both WM's have Voyager Starscream and Ratchet. WM on US 41 had FAB's Smokescreen, Ramjet and Silver Ironhide. I debated over those, but decided against them.

My wife found all three Allspark Voyagers at Wal-Mart today in Sullivan.

by **barricade2218** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 6:05 am

I found Evac last evening along with the new Screen Battle Sets wave 2 at the Wal-Mart on Coldwater Rd. They also had plenty of the First Strike Optimus and Off-Road Ironhide, along with the new FAB's, deluxes, and some scouts. Looks like there were a couple of new Legends sets too. No Nightwatch Prime- sold out since last week.

Meijer on Lima Rd. had Nightwatch Optimus, the first wave of the Screen Battles, new FAB's, deluxes, and the new voyagers.

Haven't seen the Desert Brawl anywhere yet.

Found Deep Desert Brawl at both Wal-Marts in Terre haute. WM on US 41 also had some screen battles. I still haven't seen any AS deluxes in any stores around here.

Bloomington, IN K Mart east has the new Allspark Legends two packs
(Nightwatch Prime/Stealth Starscream & Ironhide/ Desert Blackout)

by **barricade2218** » Sat Feb 09, 2008 11:56 am

I finally saw Desert Brawl at the Wal-Mart south. They had plenty of screen battles,NW Optimus,all the new deluxes and all the new voyagers except Incinerator. Looks like they had the new legends as well.

News Credits: 1 · by **alh77** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 9:09 am

Found Incinerator at the Wal-Mart on US 41. They had two and I picked up one. They also had one Camshaft which is the first of any AS deluxes I've seen in Terre Haute. They also had Evac and OffRoad Ironhide...several of each.

News Credits: 1 · by **alh77** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 1:02 pm

I had to go to Brazil today so I stopped in at the Wal-mart there to see if they had any AS Deluxes. They didn't, but they had a lot of Incinerators, I'd say 5 or 6. All I need are the Deluxes.

News Credits: 1 · by **alh77** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 7:23 pm

Wife found BB/Scorponok and Jazz/Ice Megatron AS Legends 2 packs at the Wal-Mart on SR 46. I've still seen no sign of any AS deuxes around here.

News Credits: 1 · by **alh77** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 8:17 am

I finally found AS deluxes Saturday night at both Wal-Marts in Terre Haute.

W/M on US 41 had three...Landmine, Camshaft and Overcast. I picked up Overcast. They had several cases of Voyagers on a pallet, but I didn't hang around long enough to see what was inside.

W/m on SR 46 had a couple Camshafts, 2 Jungle Crushers and a Stockade. I took Stockade and a Jungle Crusher. They had several cases of Voyagers and Deluxes waiting to be put out, but I had found I was after so I didn't hang around there either.

by **barricade2218** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 5:54 am

Finally found Incinerator at the Wal-Mart north. They had all the new deluxes including Jungle Bonecrusher, with the exception of Stockade. N.W OP and Desert Brawl were on the shelves too, along with all voyagers except OP. No Dispensor to be seen yet. Legends and FAB's looked restocked as well.

TRU had an ad yesterday, buy 2 get 1 free on all Transformers and accessories this week, so I stopped by- they had nothing but a few deluxes and NW OP.
