I also spotted Spacecase at Chino Hills along with Jazz, Arcee, and Bumblebee. There were only two by the entrance should be gone in 24 hours.

Geez, why do you need 3 of 'em? I hope you're not scalping. I'm glad I live in New Orleans...we never seem to have any problems with people buying excess hard to find figures.

Wed Jul 20, 2011 11:09 am

Nah I'm not doing that. I'm getting one for myself then I'm getting one for my friend cause he is in the army so he is out in Iraq right now so he hasn't been able to get any of the new figure unless his wife buys it for him then my nephew's birthday is coming up so I'm getting him one.

Ah, sorry about the mixup dude. I have a friend who just got back from a year in Iraq and year and a half in Afghanistan. Gotta support the troops dude, so by all means get that Roddy for him!

Wed Jul 20, 2011 1:24 pm

Haha no problem. Yeah so far every figure for dotm I have bought I would get two so he stays in the loop. Everything will be waiting for when he gets back.

Was at Millerville Target last night, I think I picked up the last Space Case, and next to last Jazz. There are a bunch of Bumblebees and Arcees Located in a display near the checkout lanes, not much in the actual toy aisle. Didn't have time to check other stores in area, and I'm driving back to N.O. this evening.

Wed Jul 20, 2011 5:29 pm

Are you talking about DOTM toys?

Yes, specifically the Deluxe class Target exclusive set from DOTM.

Thu Jul 21, 2011 12:01 pm

I went to toys r us this morning to look for rodimus and got bad news. They took me to the stock room to show me their last shipment until September. Mostly DOTM figures. They told me they won't be getting any more shipment cause they are moving to siegan lane beginning in September so they trying to sell out of their in store items so it will be easy to move

Thu Jul 21, 2011 12:46 pm

jnguyen - That's a bummer. Even though they were sold out this morning, check back with TRU's website the next few weeks and maybe you'll be able to order Rodimus online. Although I have a feeling that once the store opens on Siegen it'll probably have some on-hand there.

Thu Jul 21, 2011 12:57 pm

Yeah I signed up for online email alert for the rodimus. In the meantime my friend in laffyette is going to check for me there since he live less than 2 minute from TRU.

If anyone still needs them the Target in Clearview mall has a Warpath and two Thundercrackers.. Warpath is mixed in with the DOTM figs.
Vets TRU had pretty much nothing.

Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:39 pm

I was able to pass by TJ Maxx on Vets last night, there's a lone Animated Wreck-Gar to be had. Think he's about to start playing around with the surplus G.I. Joes that are falling off the shelf.

Taco Bell on DeGaulle had a Triple Steak Burrito, it hit the spot.

I'm hoping next week HasbroToyShop offers the SDCC Cobra Commander/Starscream set. I *REALLY* want it!

Anyone planning to attend MechaCon in late August? Last year I picked up the Kabiya Optimus Prime and Classics Prime kits. Pretty neat, and hoping I can find some of the newer sets.

I might start looking on Tuesday for MP Rodimus at TRUs in the area. It's not a priority, but I think that's as good a time as any when it'll hit brick and mortar.

And what's with all the 3rd party news the past two days? I haven't been home and now I need to catch up.

Yeah the TjMaxxes around here seem to have run dry as of late.
I may attend Mechacon as I keep getting bugged to rejoin the 501st and costume with them for it..
I pass by TRU frequently and will post if I find a MP Roddy as well.

That's weird, I've never heard of Mechacon. Where is it? I'm assuming they sell TF merchandise.

Sat Jul 23, 2011 10:03 am

I don't know if I should be happy or worried. I bought a united bumble bee on eBay last Friday so I could get the goldbug head. I didnt pay for it but when I woke up Monday morning to pay for the item. It was marked as paid and shipped w/ a tracking. I message the seller to tell him I didn't pay but he just responded with the tracking number then left me a feedback saying fast payment! Do you think he mistakenly shipped the item to me for free? Where did he even get my address to ship it. I thought the address is only listed on paypal once paid but he some how got it from my eBay account.

I already contacted him to say I didn't pay twice but he just gave me a tracking first time then told me thanks for great communication second time. Should I message him again or just take advantage of the situation lol. The seller location is listed as hong kong with 32,000 positive feedback. Maybe he doesn't understand English so well?

It's an anime convention that will be held in downtown New Orleans Aug 26-28. Mostly anime-related items, but you can realize how there's a lot of potential with crossover to TFs. On a COMPLETELY Transformers related note, Scott McNeil (voice of OP in Beast Wars/Machines) will be there as a special guest.

Last year, there wasn't too much in the way of TF merchandise, but you never know what you'll find.

I don't think the seller can list the item as "Paid", only "Shipped". Usually when I pay for e-bay items (through PayPal), the item's status updates as soon as I confirm payment, not because the seller changed it.

If you normally use PayPay, log-in to your PP account and check recent history. Otherwise, check your credit card statements or however you would've paid.

Sat Jul 23, 2011 2:05 pm

My paypal isn't link to my eBay. Also my CC and paypal history shows no recent payment for BB at all

Yeah, it used to be held in Lake Charles, but it quickly outgrew the facility and they decided to move it to NOLA to get even more people attending..

If I recall correctly, he was the voice the other Maximals in Beast Wars but not OP. Gary Chalk was OP in those shows.

Either way, it would really tickle me to get him to say something in the Rattrap or Dinobot voice. Teeheehee!

I know where all the Warpaths, Thundercrackers and Wheeljacks are..

The TRU on the westbank..
I counted
4 Warpaths
5 Thundercrackers
3 Wheeljacks

The WB Ross had Deep Dive and Lugnut..

No Grapple (I spell it the original way) yet.

Sat Jul 23, 2011 5:58 pm

Must've just missed each other. I went to Ross and picked up a Wreck-Gar. Had 2 Deep Dives when I was there, and the Lugnut. They also have/had Crankcase and 2 Leader Class Optimus Primes sitting there?

Didn't bother with Target, but did hit the Marshall's down the way. ROTF Ice Cream truck twins and a Jolt. I was actually surprised to see some DC Universe Wave 12s there, too.
