Happy hunting.

Just got back from the Toys R Us in grand Rapids on 28th Street. Walked around the corner to the aisle the tfs are in, saw a packaging I didn't recognize and there they were, 1 shockwave, 2 jazzies and 4 Primes. Bought 1 of each. I was happy. Now to wait for the other TFs on my list. Just hope the 2 Trus I go to will get MP Thundercracker.

Ann Arbor TRU has the FoC figures. There's still 1 Shockwave, 3 Jazz and 2 Primes. They also had a full case of the last assortment of Generations. There's still 1 Junkheap, 2 Sky Shadows, 1 Wheeljack, 1 Warpath and 1 Kup. I grabbed myself a Shockwave and Junkheap. Was really surprised to find Junkheap. Also pretty surprised to find anything new. AA TRU hasn't been so great lately. They also had all of the new TF Kreo stuff and new Lego Star Wars.

Did they have the blind pack Kreons or just the sets? What are the odds you'd grab a Soundwave and bring it to me at Xtravacon on Sunday?

I didn't see any blind packs. But I also forgot to look for them. What Soundwave?

Fri Jul 20, 2012 1:25 pm

he must have meant shockwave....I always do that! I'm hoping to make it this sunday....anyone else.

I do but I thought you were trying to trade it.

nope. simply grabbed it to make one of our hunts easier here. i'll gladly take the 15 i paid for it unless someone has a deluxe vehicon to trade for it. As long as one of us gets to enjoy him.

If you happen to come to Xtravacon tomorrow and have it with you, I would gladly relieve you of your heavy burden.

No SDCC Brutici at X-travacon, I take it?

Kind of a late post, but I did see 2 FOC Shockwaves@ the DB TRU, about 11:15am-ish today. Plenty of Prime and Jazz. Also checked the Kreo section, the only new set was stealth Bumblebee.

Happy Hunting.

The only guy with SDCC stuff seemed to have everything but the Transformers items.

Tue Jul 24, 2012 11:45 pm

I wish he would have transformed his price....to something from the planet earth!

still haven't found any kreon blind packs. Looking forward to those guys. did find a single arachnid at target on telegraph, w. bloomfield/pontiac. Nothing else of interest sighted.

Finally got to go hunting today. Saw all the new Kre-O sets except the Prime and Megatron set. No sign of the blind packs, yet. I grabbed the Stealth Bumblebee andWheeljack/Knockout sets to take advantage of the BOGO 50% deal and I had a couple rewards coupons so I got $20 off on top of that. I have to say I'm impressed with the leap they've made in quality with these compaired to the first series. Both the building sets and the Kreons have somehow gotten better. I'll probably still wait for a nice clearance on that Devastator set, though.

Agree on waiting on Devastator. Have the Vortex and Wheeljack sets, plus the troop builders. B1G150%, not bad.

And the new SW legos are expensive and very, very, very, nice.

I will be trying to get some of those soon.

Thu Jul 26, 2012 11:17 am

I was really shocked by the prices on those SW legos too. Luckily I got a few sets with a 25% off coupon a week ago. But I still need two and can't believe they have $40 sets for 60+ and $60 sets for over a $100....sup wit dat! I agree on the kreo sets as well. They've done a better job with the bot modes...more aesthetically cohesive..still need a tweak or two but overall much better.

saw generations wheeljack at tuesday morning in kalamazoo, he was 3.99. also had a few KO transformers. Fanfare has a few boxed g1 figures, and a wide assortment of loose g1 figures

News Credits: 194 · Fri Jul 27, 2012 12:42 pm

Ann Arbor TRU has 2 Shockwaves, 3 Primes and 3 Jazzes. They also still have 2 Generations Wheeljacks, 1 Black Shadow, 1 Kup and 1 Warpath. The Marshall's next door as Kup for $6 and Wheeljack for 7.99. Nothing else exciting to report.

Fri Jul 27, 2012 12:46 pm

I picked up Arachnid the other day....ummmm....hmmmm....yeah. by far the worst figure in many years...imo. And a big disappointment mostly.

Spotted the new Bot Shots 3-packs, a few Optimus Maximuses, and a Weaponizer Bumblebee at Livonia Meijer today.

News Credits: 5 · Sun Jul 29, 2012 12:32 am

Did a little more hunting and picked up a G-FOC Shockwave at the 8 & Haggerty Target. They had two full cases out. They also had some Optimus Maximuses, a few of those new Bot Shots 4-packs, and two each of the Weaponizer Bumblebee and Prime. Oh, and they also had the RC Knock Out and Bumblebee and the Optimus/Megatron Kre-O set.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Jul 29, 2012 12:55 pm

I went out hunting a little bit ago. Came up empty handed. I did see the Optimus/ Megs Kreo set but I wasn't willing to drop $40 on it. I'm just trying to grab a Weaponizer Prime and he's nowhere to be found around here. I only went to a couple of Targets though. I'll probably try a few more places before the day is over.

Sun Jul 29, 2012 10:34 pm

Picked up weaponizer bumblebee at the Davison meijer today. Left 1 BB and an Optimus. The bumblebee is surprisingly a great figure. I might have to pick up the Optimus.
