It's cool man I noticed they were the same message and I replied to one of them last night. You should use FireFox too many errors with Internet Explorer.

I had a problem with seibertron.com but everything seems to be working now guess they were still fixing a view things with this new update.

Hey Guys, wanted to let all of you know that i stopped by TRU after work and they had 1 Countdown and 3 Darkwinds if anyone is interested. Also plenty of Dinobots and Hotshots as well...

Hello all! Went to TRU and it looks like they emptied out their back room. They totally restocked all their stuff. Now, it's all old stuff, mind you, but the shelves were full!! It looked really cool. Kind of reminded me of the good old days. You know, when there were new, cool stuff to look at... I remember when they put up that massive display for the first movie. Man, the whole wall was full! I wanted to win the lottery just so I can fill the cart with everything on that shelf! Ahhhhh... those were the days.... Sorry about the ramble, I just like to regress every now and then. Anyway, here's to waiting for number two!

Which TRU was that?

Sat May 02, 2009 10:53 pm

It was the TRU up here in Elyria. That's about 45 minutes west of Cleveland. I don't know if you meant the display or the fully stocked shelves... But they were both in the same location. That wall that was nothing but Transformers is now Star Trek. That's their display wall and it changes with each new thing that comes out. But there really wasn't anything new there to speak of. Unless you're missing the ones that we've all seen for over a year, now. And as always, if there's something I can find for you, let me know and I'll do my best to at least find it for you. The same goes for all you guys. Peace!

Hey everyone, i dont know if anyone has seen the store locator and sighting section of this formu, but someone in texas has saw 3 ROTF figures, but was the item was on restriction and could not purchase them, so im sure we will see that soon at either Walmart and Target, so be on the look out and cant wait for May 27th and June 24th! :grin:

News Credits: 2 · Thu May 07, 2009 6:13 am

So here's a question--were the preview figures for ROTF supposed to be out by now? I remember that for the last movie, the preview figs were everywhere for at least a month before the main line launched.

Well so far here on the boards I've heard 1) May 15th, 2)May 30th, and 3) a lot of Walmarts already have them out

So....yeah...

I'm not really sweating it though...I'm going to be buying most of them but I don't mind the break I've gotten from retail TF buying lately...It's given me a chance to catch up on some of the more collectible items I've been missing...

They'll be out when they're out and I HIGHLY doubt there is going to be any shortage of them...Hell, you can STILL find wave 1 figures from the first movie around town...And that was two years ago...

News Credits: 2 · Thu May 07, 2009 9:23 am

Lol...that sounds about right. I avoided the preview figs from the first flick, but I'll probably get these ones.

I know what you mean about toys from the last movie...the TRU in Lima still has the Scorponok/Blackout two-pack on the shelves.

I agree with you on that, the TRU near me, had 2 full shelves of TF movie line, of jetstorm, wingblade, muddflap, and red alert and did have plenty of Stockades with Jungle BC, but the deluxes are there, but the rest are...

News Credits: 2 · Fri May 08, 2009 7:54 pm

Well guys went to wal mart in springboro and hoping soundwave and bumblebee preview figures would be there or some type of indication that ROTF figures would have a space on the shelf, but no deluxes of TFU 2.0, only some TFA stuff, few things i saw was Stormcloud, Onslaught and Silverbolt and thats it! Oh well, i guess this let me save more money for Rotf stuff, cause the last Transformers i bought was Darkwind and Countdown (really awesome Transformers i think), that was about 2 or maybe 3 weeks ago! Still cant wait for the figures and cant wait for the movie!!!

News Credits: 2 · Fri May 08, 2009 8:33 pm

That's how I'm looking at it, Stock...the current drought of items means I'll have that much more money to spend when the ROTF street date hits.

News Credits: 2 · Sat May 09, 2009 9:13 pm

Heads up guys!!! ROTF figures are getting closer to Ohio, i just checked the Toy sighting and locator and Seiberton found Voyager class SS in Aurora, Illinois and i assume wal mart let him buy it and reading this give me good vibes that by next week (hopefully) we Ohioians/seibertronians can get are grubby hands on ROTF stuff!!! Can't wait and if i see anything i'll keep all of you posted......

News Credits: 2 · Sat May 09, 2009 10:12 pm

I'm taking Monday off of work, so I'll do some checking around in the Lima area...keeping my fingers crossed...

Sun May 10, 2009 1:01 am

I noticed the stores up here are getting ready as well! The WM in Avon has pulled some more stock out of the back and dropped the price of Deluxe Animated back down to $8... It appears they're trying to move all the peg warmers... It seems our moment of glory approaches, fellow Seibertronians!

News Credits: 4 · Sun May 10, 2009 1:10 pm

Wheee! How exciting!

Tue May 12, 2009 9:07 pm

MAY 30th! THAT'S THE DATE! I talked to the guy at WM in charge of the toy section. I asked him if he knows when the movie figures will be in and he said... are you ready... "They're already in the back!" He went on to turn down my offer of a 10-spot to get one out for me. He then said he doesn't usually work on Saturday and that if he could, he'd set up for them so they could be put out Friday night... I'm gonna go and offer my services and help out any way I can to get the job done! No one should be denied their right to Cybertronian bliss! The time draws near... We now know when to strike!

Whole lotta nothing at the Walmarts in Findlay and the Kmarts in Lima. Although one Kmart in Lima STILL has Leader-class Brawl from the first movie...and still at a $49.99 price point, too...

News Credits: 2 · Wed May 13, 2009 5:28 am

Great job Lucius Prime and i keep hearing different date like May 15 (this friday), May 27 and May 30, so dont know really what to believe in, and now theres sights of the new ROTF, but some can buy, some cannot so what to do? Well today after work i will check the wal mart in moraine and see whats up and hoping to speak to someone about the new figs and last night went to Target by the Dayton mall and they had nothing and its been like that for 2 weeks!! I know the Target off of feedwire Rd has much stock and like they had 2 Overloads and 2 Leo Prime just the other day and some TFU 2.0 for $8.00!! I think some of the stores are making room for the mass release and can't wait! As for you Doc, man! sorry to hear about Kmart still having leader Brawl for $49.00, what a rip! I know Kmart doesnt like when collectors and hobbist come in and i dont really go there anyway, so the only one who is losing out is Kmart. Well, my advice is keep your eyes peeled i'm sure ROTF will show up on the shelves soon and then happy hunting......

News Credits: 2 · Wed May 13, 2009 6:18 am

Good luck today, Stock...hopefully you find something. If you do, that means that the products are in my general neck of the woods, or soon will be.

Kmart does suck about some of their pricing. The only reason I checked them is because some stores are reportedly putting ROTF stuff on the shelves already.

I'm pretty sure the ACTUAL street date for the toys is May 30, which is a Saturday. But I'd be fine with the 15th, too. I believe they're going to be selling some at Botcon as well, although I obviously won't be at the convention this year.

News Credits: 2 · Wed May 13, 2009 3:27 pm

Ok Guys, heres the low down after 2:00 today:

TRU in beavercreek, no ROTF figs, but SO damn many Countdowns and Darkwinds, at least 10 a piece

Target in beavercreek pretty much nothing there, but did ask about the ROTF figs and show a girl the DCPI numbers, the first thing she ask me is, are you a vendor and i said no, immediately she said i cant sell them to you, and i said do you at least them here, so she pulled out her device and enter the numbers and it said, no stock on hand and she couldn't tell if any stock was coming, personally i dont think she knew how to use the device and so i left.

Wal mart in beavercreek, completely empty shelves and a waste of my time

Wal mart off of wilmington pike no deluxes, just had a powerglide and tread bolt

Target off of feed wire they had TFU 2.0 overload and Leo prime marked down to around $15.00 and Onslaught also marked down to $18.00 and TFA twins down to $18.00 as well. Spoke to andrew in electronics which he is over toys to and gave him my list of DCPI numbers and explain that on web some targets are releasing 2 ROTF preview figs BB and soundwave on May 15th and so he checked it out and he gave me the date of May 24th, but he said it could wrong and he said the mass release date is may 30, but he told me to check back on the 15th or 16th, if not its the 24th for sure for the previews and the rest is on the 30th of May.

I will go to Kmart not far by my house later on and add a post on that....

Thu May 14, 2009 1:33 am

See? That's why you're awesome! Thanks for the tip! Now I'll be on Target's doorstep both the 15th and the 24th! Soudwave and Bumblebee are two of the ones I want! Oh, and my dude over at WM said he definately saw Optimus Prime. Now wheather it's the Voyager or Leader, I don't know... But it's one of them. So... to recap... Bumblebee and Soundwave at Target the 15th or 24th. Optimus and the rest at Wal-Mart the 30th! Let's suit up, lads! Bout time to go!
