Many thanks for the heads-up on the DPCI info! Went to Target in Elyria and asked the kindly gentleman working in electronics if he could look the number up for me. He said sure and told me there was a box in the back! There were no V-gers, unfortunately... But I did get a CJ, Jackie, and a Sika-sika-Soundwave! I was so excited, I was whooping in the van on the ride home! Really, ask my wife! Then we got a MooLatte from DQ, so life is like amazing right now! Night, y'all!
P.S., Wolfie, I did the same thing with my Bee, didn't get the R.I.D. cause I have the First Edition.

OMG I love the new Soundwave, cant pick between him or Wheeljack tho for the RID first wave.

Also I found this, Transformers + Skyrim = Dovahkiibot

Sat Feb 11, 2012 1:43 pm

I know nothing of Skyrim, but I applaud the artistic design nonetheless! Soundwave's U.A.V. Predator mode is really cool! My wife is off her hinges about CJ, LOL She was sayin how disappointed she'd be if he didn't have his horns on the hood, so she was uber excited when she saw they're there! That's my baby!

Your wife also likes transformers Lucius? Lucky bastered! :shock:

My girlfriend likes the movies but is not to thrilled bout me collecting. :sad:

Mon Feb 13, 2012 7:49 pm

HAHA Sorry, Lycan. Yeah, there are some that she really likea and she hunts for too. Like Animated and G1 arcee, and Prime CJ, like I said. She also likes the Kreons and we are both hoping that they end up selling them separately so we can buy them. Our whole hallway is full of them. V-gers and Leaders on shelves, and Deluxe and under are hanging up on the wall.

First off, I want to say this information about Transformer: Prime figures and Target has gotten out of hand between me and Autobot032. The only thing I'm expressing that Target is Target, but its the employees who has the desire to help the customer or not. I am a member of other Transformers sites and one of them is http://www.TFW2005.com and it appears they are having trouble too. It appears that some deluxes can be bought, but voyagers are the main issue. According to a well known source on that site, some Target employees know about the street date, some don't. But if they do bring something out of the back and its scanned and says "Street Date" then your out of luck and will be taken back to the store room until that date. Not only that, if the isle reset are not done and there's no room for new items, the new items won't be put out for sell. All I'm saying is that I've had friends with me and my wife with me just to find out information if they can be sold before the street date and 2 local Targets said NO. Plus as of now i have no intentions of collecting these figures yet, just passing on the information and experience I've had personally and from other friends/collectors. Not only that, I'm not here to make enemies, I've made a bunch of friends on here and help out a bunch as well. If no one believes me, you can ask Jenus, Doc Reggae, Devastron, Shokwayve, Prime_Fan, and Typhiod. I've helped everyone of these collectors out by either picking it up for him, or stashing it behind something and shooting them a PM to make sure they getting it. So with this being said, I'm done talking about it, i have my personal views and experiences about this topic and no one can or will change that.

How's this?... That same Target that so nicely gave me the deluxes, now refuse me access. I called back to inquire about the V-gers and the not-so-nice lady who answered said asked me what it was I was looking for. I said Transformers figures, she asked "The new ones?" I said yes, and with an attitude said that although the computer would say they are there, they are not allowed to sell them til the 26th... wench. I hope the dude who helped me that one day did't get into trouble... Especially by her.

Nah, he won't get in trouble. If anything, he'd get a verbal thrashing, but no penalties. It would require something far more drastic to end up getting into the kind of trouble you're talking about.

Which is fortunate, considering how much hell we can give 'em.

The TRU in Lima had a bunch of new TFP figs in--couple each of Voyagers Megs and Op, and a couple each of Cliffjumper, Bee, Wheeljack, and Soundwave.

News Credits: 1 · Sat Feb 18, 2012 7:42 pm

I found Poweriser! Optimus Prime at the Parma, Ohio TRU this week. I had found some Cyberverse Prime toys there last week, but I cleaned them out. I'm hoping they'll start getting more soon!

Tue Feb 21, 2012 7:05 pm

Over the past two weeks I've picked up all of the first wave of PRID EXCEPT Soundwave at the Targets at Sugarcreek and the Target on North Fairfield Rd here in the Dayton area.

I also got the Powerizer Voyager Prime and Megatron at the TRU in Centerville (near the Dayton Mall).

I've seen small amounts of the Legends PRID at all three places, but only Cliffjumper and Bee. Also I did see a few of the Bot Shots at the above mentioned TRU.

I'm hearing that TF: Primes figures are filtering the Dayton/Kettering/Beavercreek areas, so be on the look out.

Wed Feb 22, 2012 9:03 pm

Okay, I am officially done with you lot congregating in areas that I am NOT in! LOL I think I'm the only one around my hunting grounds.. Good in the fact that there's more booty for me, but there's like no one to commune with. Oh, well, I'm not really bitter. But if there's anyone up in the North Olmste, Westlake, Avon, Sheffield, Lorain, Elyria, Wellington sweep, hit me up! I bet we could trade info!
I need a cool sign off like "Wolf out"... I got nothin...

I have family in Lorain, actually. Done plenty of shopping in both Avon and Elyria. Some shopping at the Super K-Mart, though their selection usually sucked.

If I ever head back that way, I'll send you a message and we can meet up.

I bought most of Energon at the Elyria TRU. The first wave that had the red cards. The Voyager Cliffjumper/Ultra Springer (whatever his name really was) wave, in fact. That was one expensive trip, actually...

Wed Feb 22, 2012 11:09 pm

There's nothing worse than walking in a place saying to your self "OK, I'm not spending more than $15 bucks..." or something like that, and then coming across something you KNOW you can't leave on the shelf. That happened with me when I walked into TRU one time and saw MP Rodimus Prime/Hot Rod sitting on the shelf (the only one, mind you).

Expensive trip indeed... #-o

Thu Feb 23, 2012 9:39 pm

Dude... I know EXACTLY what you're talking about!!! I do that a lot.
Okay, went to TRU today and saw they put out there TF:P R.I.D.s I don't know what all was out there when they were freshly up, but when I got there, there were 3 OPs (grabbed one!), 3 Bees and a CJ. OH, and a Cyberverse Bee. That was a fun trip. Can't wait to go to TGT Sunday morning! See what the spread's like! Oh, and don't ask the toy guy at Avon WM anything... he's totally clueless. We know more than he does... yeesh. See ya!

Fri Feb 24, 2012 1:49 pm

So i stopped at one of my local K-Mart's and they are now starting to carry the Prime figures at a pricepoint of $13.99. They had 1 CJ, 1 WJ, and the rest were all Bee's. Looking at them i was not really impressed with any of these figures except maybe WJ. I think that i will be passing on this line for the most part and focus on more third party and G1 stuff.

TF: P is starting to show up in stores in Lima outside of our TRU. I was shopping at Meijer this morning, and saw that they had at least three each of Voyager-size Primes and Megatrons. Also had some of the Bot Shots too--no sign of deluxes, but I know the TRU in town has those.

Sun Feb 26, 2012 12:33 pm

today is suppose to be the offical street release date for TFLprime in target. has any one found any in targets? i have had no luck. i looked in cuyahoga falls and streetsburo. nothing. but that was yesterday. might go out hunting today to check again.

Sun Feb 26, 2012 2:38 pm

I stopped in the Target by the Dayton Mall trying to kill time, and I saw nothin' except a bunch of Cyberverse BB's. Then again, it was early, so maybe they hadn't gotten around to putting it out.

Then again, maybe they've just been cleared out by us fanboys (and girls perhaps) in the pat few weeks to the point of not having anything to put out, lol.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Feb 26, 2012 2:56 pm

I dunno, I'm in Maryland and went to two seperate Targets this morning and neither had done resets. I had them run dpcis and they had stock on both deluxe and voyagers but I didn't bother beyond that. Who knows what's going on these days; I certainly don't.

Sun Feb 26, 2012 6:44 pm

Just got back from springfield Target all seen there for TF;Prime deluxes 1 cliff 2 BB's. 3 voyager primes. The Walmart down the road 3-4 voyager primes found nothing on deluxes.
