What's up fellow Autobots! (and Decepticons, too, I guess) Got some cool stuff to report. Family Dollar, that's right, Family Dollar up here has Universe 1.0 figures! Unless they sold them, they have Stormhammer, Skybyte, and two more that I can't remember cause I'm an idiot. Next on the list... Remember Aldi's that I posted about a while ago? They strike again. They have ROTF wave 1 Scout Class for... you ready?... $3.99! I just picked up Dirtboss. They also have Rollbar and Dead End. I wish they had Depthcharge, but they don't. But, that's one hell of a price, no? The shelves of the chains up here are emptying at a mouth-watering rate. I swear I can smell the new ones in the back waiting to be brought forward! I don't think I'm gonna spend all that money on Devastator. Of course the Mrs. will be wanting her Arcee, and I will be after the constructicons. Let's all hope and pray they decide to go ahead with the third "Arcee" installment. Named Flare Up for those who don't read the Seibertron news. (But why wouldn't you?) *Lucius Prime raises glass of energon* Here's to the good hunt and to the trophies on the wall!

Also try the ChristmasTree shops, they have some left over Cybertron and Energon lines left over from KB toys and their priced from $3.99 to $7.99. A couple of examples are Stormjet, SteamHammer, backstop and so on, but a good deal for those who missed out or just started collecting Transformers....

Hey Stockade,

I was searching in the Dayton area yesterday and right now there is nothing new that I have seen. The inventory in most of the stores looks like it is starting to become low. Probably in the next two to three weeks the stores should start replenishing their stock. Happy hunting until then.

Hey guys, last night while I was getting groceries I stopped by the toy department at the Wal-Mart in Moraine, the only thing I saw new was those new Transformer RPMS for that Devastator set.

Wal-Mart Supercenter
1701 West Dorothy Lane
Moraine, OH 45439
937-643-2124

I don't remember how many there were of each but these are what I saw.

Long Haul
Sideways
Optimus Prime
Ironhide
Bumble

I was wondering I've heard these RPMS were in both single packs or double packs. Have the double packs been seen in Ohio by anyone here?

News Credits: 2 · Thu Jul 30, 2009 12:01 pm

Hey Guys! Just heads up our neighboring state of pennsylvania is finding alot of the new wave figures that are out, like Blaze Master, Jolt and the icecream truck twins, so not much longer we should see on our shelves here in ohio!!!! Happy Hunting!!!!

Hey Jenus, I remember seeing the Skids and Mudflap RPMs two-pack at the Dayton Mall TRU a while back. It was after they moved the Transformers to the back and put up the GI Joe display. Good luck finding them. I was in north Dayton at lunch time and stopped at the Walmart on Miller Lane (I-75 exit 59) and they had about 10 different RPMs towards the back wall hanging on the side of an end cap. I remember seeing Optimus, Ratchet, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Megatron, Long Haul, Sideways, and Bumblebee. There might have been others.

As for the new waves of Voyagers and Deluxes, I haven't seen anything. I have hit several stores around the Dayton area and I'm lucky to see wave 3 Deluxes and wave 4 Voyagers.

Happy hunting everyone!

Thanks for the info Prime_Fan.

On my way back home from the mall area I stopped by Target to check on Bruticus, still no sign of him, though they had a few other things.

They had a bunch of the double packs and single packs of the RPMS plus Supreme class Devastator.

Hey everyone! The dayton mall Target has 6 Grindors and 6 Long Hauls left! I stopped by at lunch and got myself one of each. they look really cool. Too bad I have to wait to get off of work to play with them. :-(

Still no sign of Wave 4 Deluxes though.

Happy hunting.

Thanks as always Prime_Fan

One thing Stockade told me that you posted a sighting at Wal-Mart of the same thing on the individual figure sightings , I checked both Wal-Mart and Target and I'm guessing you you were so happy and typing in the info so quick you put the wrong location here in the Ohio Seekers thread.

The Right loacation

Wal-Mart Super Center
8800 Kingsridge Drive
Miamisburg, OH 45342

Grindor - 4 or 5 can't remember

Devastator still available at Target in Miamisburg.

Stopped by the Walmart in Toledo on McCord and Airport--they had one Grindor, but no Long Haul, unfortunately. Also stopped by the Spring Meadows Target--they had two supreme Devastators out. Nothing worth noting at the Findlay Walmart on Trenton Avenue, though.

Fri Jul 31, 2009 4:59 pm

Good morrow, fellow Seibertronians! Got some bittersweet news for ya. Devastator arrives at Target today! My cousin called me this morning and told me he had the pleasure of putting him on the shelf HIMSELF! Cool, huh? He also said they're gonna spider-wrap him for security so no one wanders off with him! HAHAHA Now for the bitter part... He's a whopping $100! I don't know about you, but I don't have that in the couch cushions! Anyway, I'll get him sooner or later! I can't wait for the Legends Class Constructicons! No Long Haul or Swerve or Gray Blackout (I mean Grindor). So, we'll see. He'll let me know as soon as they come out. Until then, GOOD HUNTING!

Here's the ROTF report for some of the stores I've been at lately--
1. Oregon K-mart: few Voyagers, tons of Sideways, HA BB (worst selection of TFs).
2. Oregon Wal-Mart: lots of: Leader OP & Megatron, FABs, various wave deluxes, Voyager Demolisher, Ironhide, OP, 1 Mixmaster, Robot Heroes, Robot Replicas.
3. Toys R Us corner of Monroe & Talmadge/Franklin Park: some leaders, voyagers, early wave deluxes, scouts, RPMs

I'll stop at Holland/Spring Meadows Target & Wal-Mart Monday after work, just don't have a reason to go that way this weekend. Hopefully they might have Long Haul and Devastator

Jaws--I was at Spring Meadows Target earlier today, and they had two Devastators on the shelves. No Long Hauls, unfortunately.

You know... there is one thing that I am looking for... I want a Universe Hound w/ Ravage. There aren't here anywhere anymore. I checked Robot Kingdom and they were sold out, too. So if you guys see one, I think we can come up with some sort of arrangement that doesn't require me driving 2 or 3 hours! If you guys see them, let me know! Thanks!

Well I have not seen one since March or April though I do remember seeing him at the TAF shop downtown Dayton.

Here is the stores info

TAF
37 S. St. Clair
Dayton, OH 454
(937) 222-4517

Store Hours
Tuesday - Friday 12 p.m. - 7 p.m.
Saturday - 12 p.m. - 5 p.m.

Give him a call Tuesday and see if he might have anything that you are looking for and ask what the price is because I know his prices are a little high. Send me a pm if you want me to grab what you are wanting.

Also, I forgot to add that Past Generation Toys still has Hound and Ravage in stock for $13.95

Sun Aug 02, 2009 3:45 pm

Looks like the dry spell is finally over. Stopped by the local Athens Walmart and discovered some of the new wave Deluxes and Voyagers. Longhaul looks nice

. Still no Leader Jetfire or Human Alliances, though.

Stopped by the Beavercreek Wal-Mart since I was up in that area today. Found a Blazemaster and Dead End Deluxe figures. Also picked up the dark variant Sideways and Breakaway. But the best one that I got was Long Haul. IMO he is the best figure so far in the ROTF line. I didn't see Jolt and it looked like they just filled everything earlier that day. Happy hunting!!!

News Credits: 2 · Sun Aug 02, 2009 8:32 pm

I'll do a check of the Walmarts and Kmarts here in Lima tomorrow...hopefully I'll find Long Haul. He and leader Starscream are the last two I'm buying from the movie line.

News Credits: 2 · Sun Aug 02, 2009 9:06 pm

Went to the new walmart off of kingsridge today and found 3 darker sideways and 1 darker breakaway, there is 2 darker sideways left in one of the rows in plan sight, no more darker breakaways and they had 2 dunerunners and 4 scapels and 4 reverbs for $7.88 each....

It seems whenever I go searching for the new releases I seem to turn up nothing but the following day the good stuff is found, though I probably would not have been able to buy them since I just picked up Grindor and Long Haul. Anyway good fine, hopefully I'll be able to grab them in about 2 weeks.
