I was "worthy" and it's the only place I've been able to spot him... they had Sonic too... but I keep thinking of Sonic fanfiction and shudder...

I saw sonic and mega man yesterday. I don't remember where though. Somewhere in the Westwego/Gretna area. At different stores.

I pre ordered my wave 2 from the Chosen Prime and he told me that something is holding the shipments up at the port. That strike on the West coast?? It would make since since no one seems to be getting many new Hasbro items. I know I stumbled across the Star Wars black 6" Bossk wave about two weeks ago (right after I found Huffer and Blackjack) and have not seen anything since. Maybe it is effecting everything else TMNT,(Ninja Turtles have also been lacking at a lot of locations where they used to stock each week), Marvel Legends only hit a few places with the Spider Man wave too..

Do we have this port strike to blame?

I want to know more about this "chosen prime".

Ya it seems like all hasbro and playmates products are nearly nonexistent.

It is a new online retailer that lots of fans have been raving about.

Damn, I was going to check there on my lunch break for a CW G1 Megatron. Guess they sold out...again... :BANG_HEAD:

I'm gonna try to check the btr tru for vanilla megs. At least almost every store out here has a space for him, just no stock.

Tue Mar 24, 2015 7:54 pm

Ousted again! One Armada megs at BTR TRU.... so close.... so close...

Wed Mar 25, 2015 12:26 pm

If anyone is looking for RID Drift, he's at Seiten Target. I went back to TRU having second thoughts about Armada megs but he was gone

I did pick up the Aoe Terrorsaur repaint/ legends bumblebee at the Brusly WM for $4 though!

First time poster here. Metairie tru has 3 armada megatrons and one regular. I was here when they got the first batch a month or so ago. Ill put regular megs in the back of the row.

Thu Mar 26, 2015 5:58 am

Dang, there's no way I'll make it there... maybe BTR will have better luck this morning.

I guess they got more in on the truck.

Did I ever mention how awesome you are CB? I FINALLY got a CW Megatron at TrU thanks to you. Grabbed the last one though.

Why is the guy so rare? :???:

Thu Mar 26, 2015 11:58 am

Checking btr tru, hopefully not in vein...

Thu Mar 26, 2015 12:24 pm

Nothing at BTR Tru... looks like the bot smashers are finally on clearance though.

Sorry to hear that you didn't find your G1 Megatron. I really don't understand why he's getting limited saturation though.

Now that I think about it, I never really saw the wave with Arcee (saw her once at a comic shop and that was it). Wonder if Megatron's Leader wave is going through something similar.

I've heard it may have something to do with the recent dock strike that ended on the west coast. What's frustrating is I had tru's customer service check to see if they had him in stock and they showed three in the floor, but none were to be found. I checked above the shelves and in most nearby hiding spaces, still nothing. It leaves me to believe that employees may be holding them. If you want to have TRU check before you go, the stock code is 232028.

I had that happen to me about a month ago when CB first found him. The computer said there were 2 on the floor, but there was nothing there.

The strike ended? Hallelujah!!! Maybe places can start getting stock in now..
I am glad you got megs! I don't know if they are 2,3 or 4 to a case though.

Cool if I join from BTR Bishop? I think they're 2 to a case from everything I've hard, and yes, the strike supposedly ended at the end of February, but they had at least a 6-8 week backup. It's pretty awful really, lots of produce and perishable stuff was just left to rot.
