Just got back from TRU in Marrero, I was finally able to pick up a Soundblaster. No SWs on hand.

Also, this is the first time I've seen the new BotShot5-packs. There was only 1 Stunticon set and 3 Autobot Polar Team sets, going for $21.99 each. And if anyone was still looking for GDO Cliffjumper (x2), Swerve (x1), or Wheelie (x1), now is your chance. Finally, at least 1 each of the Beast Hunters deluxe figures. I just can't bring myself to buy any of these yet, and Bumblebee's cracked out eyes don't help at all.

I forgot to update this piece - 2/17 I found the blind packs at the TRU on Vets. I ended up buying half the box (1x each for most, 2x for each for the 5th member of combiner sets since I made a present of the combiners to a friend later on in the week), but there were still some left. I also found 1 pack (Bludgeon) at the Target @ Esplande Mall (Kenner) hanging out with some other blind packs. Hoping to find a Blaster today when I'm out and about, quite a few stores I've been to this past week had the tell-tale sign of 1 Grimlock sitting on the shelves.

Hey, it's the middle of the week. Have some of this, and a lot of luck:

Nabbed a BH shockwave from the Target in Slidell today.. Still have a couple on the shelf.

by **WolfDawg** » Sat Apr 20, 2013 4:06 pm

Did a TON of driving today. I went to the Target in Slidell (a whole week late) trying to score Shockwave based on CB's tip with no luck. There was nothing of interest there

Went to Ross, Marshall's, and Burlington Coat Factory hoping to find PRID Magnus and all they had were Voyager Starscreams.

The TrU out there was fully stocked, though. Sadly, it was all old stuff. They had almost all the GDO's, 6 MP Thundercrackers, and a bunch of the old PRID Deluxes and Voyagers (though no Ultra Magnus...). The Walmart out there was pretty barren too.

I'm probably going to try my luck at Target, Walmart, Marshalls, Ross, and TrU in Metairie tomorrow. I'm just tired of all the driving. Since I live in Metairie, it took about 45 minutes to get to Slidell.

Wasn't a total waste of time, though. Non-TF related, I walked around the mall in Slidell and there's a new store called Just 2 Play with a bunch of a Retro games. Most were over priced, but I did manage to snag two of the PS2 .Hack games I had been looking for. Also got a GBA player for my Gamecube for 8 bucks. :grin:

Just left Target on Clearview, picked up a set of the new Autobot Data Discs(finally), one pair left. The Beast hunters deluxe figures are now $12.97 ea, but only have through Wave 2. Nothing else new (and no Shocky, sorry Wolfy).

Thanks for the heads up Necro. I finally managed to find Shockwave at the Walmart in Elmwood. There was one left when I bought him if anyone is interested. Also, I saw FOC Soundblaster at the Kmart in Elmwood. Didn't buy him because I'm still looking for Blaster.

I had to get a battery and terminal for my work car and I saw the Shockwave just sitting there all by it's lonesome...

Did a dcpi search on Target.com this morn for the generations... The only store that had them was the Target across the lake. I called gave the toy description and dcpi, she came back and told me that they had 2 of each. I asked her hold one for me and I shot across the Causeway to nab him.. Springer and 2 Blitzwings left on the shelf.

Springer was definitely worth the trip and is one of the BEST figures to come out in years.

Thanks for the head's up on that one CB. Hopefully I can pass over there today after work, if traffic isn't too bad. I honestly wasn't expecting to see these guys in New Orleans until mid June.

According to targets site when you search the dcpi# the Clearview store had them this morning, when I stopped over there for lunch (around 12:30) they were out, I checked the website again and it said that the kenner one had them.. I nabbed my Springer this past weekend in covington. Do NOT pass up Springer.. Blitzwing looks great but I will have to do the shoulder mod fix when I get home.
