Ann Arbor TRU had the Wave 5 Deluxes at lunch today. I grabbed 1 Misfire. They still have 2 Windblades, 2 Twintwists, 2 Wolfwires, and 1 Misfire. They also had 1 Sky Shadow and 2 Six Shots. 1 each of TR Voyager Prime and Megatron. I saw 1 Shuffler. They had 2 Infernicus box sets. And 2 of those wacky Last Knight Primes with all the clear red plastic weapons. Reveal the Shield or Something.

Wanted to get Twin Twist and Windblade so badly, but have to wait until I have more money. Misfire is awesome!!

Someone else took a Windblade and the last Misfire. I was able to get my hands on the last remaining Windblade, and a Twintwist (only 1 left). Shuffler was still there too.

I had heard they put out more of Wave 5 deluxes at AA TRU. All that was left was 1 Twintwist(now mine) and 4 Weirdwolfs. They did have 2 TLK Cybertrons. Didn't really see much more other than some more Shufflers and Repugnus.

Now comes the difficult hunt of finding Ramhorn. He seems to be the most elusive right now. I found Misfire at the Toledo (Monroe St) TRU as the last remaining wave 5 figure there. It's crazy how small the TF section is at our local TRUs

I'm down to just Windblade, Octane, Overlord, and Slugslinger. I'm going to be bummed when Titans Return is over.

News Credits: 13 · Tue Aug 15, 2017 11:26 am

Well I guess I should include Octane, Blitzwing, Overlord, and Slugslinger in my search as well. Not to mention Arcee/UM, the Walgreens Clones 2 pack, and whatever else might trickle in.

Have you spotted Ramhorn anywhere else in the AA area. As far as B&M figures, I'm down to him Overlord, and Slugslinger.

I haven't. Still just seeing Shuffler and Repugnus everywhere. Since I wrote that last post, I've gotten Octane(Target) and Windblade(Amazon). So I'm just down to Overlord and Slugslinger. And maybe Arcee.

I did see Blitzwing at the Ypsi Walmart yesterday and at the AA/Saline Rd Target today if anyone is looking for him.

News Credits: 194 · Wed Sep 20, 2017 12:59 pm

Ann Arbor/Saline Rd Meijer had 1 each of Octane and Blitzwing at lunchtime today. Nothing else of note.

I was able to snag an Arcee on HTS, so that's cool.

News Credits: 194 · Fri Sep 22, 2017 12:58 pm

AA/Saline Road Meijer had 2 each of Octane and Blitzwing today.
AA TRU had Blitzwing.

Didn't see anything else new.

News Credits: 194 · Sun Sep 24, 2017 1:37 pm

Carpenter Road Target had 2 Twintwists, 1 Windblade, and 1 Wolfwire as of this afternoon. Meijer had nothing new, but they are BOGO 50% off.

Was able to snag Slugslinger on Amazon for $19.99. Had $8 in gift cards, so after tax he was $13.91!

Wed Sep 27, 2017 10:36 am

Long time no post. Procured 2 Overlords@the Dearborn WM about 20min ago. None left. They also had 2 Twin Twists and 1 Misfire, 1 Blitzwing, 1 Sky Shadow, and 1 Sixshot. Nothing else noteworthy.

Rollback season is upon us, so Leaders are priced@$40, and Deluxes@$15. I neglected to note the Voyager price.

Happy Hunting and a beneficent autumn!

Round up from my hunting the last few days.

Ypsi Walmart has Cosmos and Seaspray. A few of each.
AA TRU has 1 Misfire.
Carpenter Rd Target has 1 Blade and 2 Twintwists.
AA/Saline Rd Target has one TLK Nitro.

No Overlord or Slugslinger in the AA Area. Unless they're at Carpenter Meijer. They weren't yesterday though.

News Credits: 13 · Sun Oct 08, 2017 9:22 pm

Slugslinger hit retail in NW Ohio/SE Mich. If you are near Maumee, OH the Meijer has a single Slugslinger and 2 Kups.

News Credits: 194 · Tue Oct 24, 2017 12:53 pm

Ann Arbor/Saline Rd Target had 1 TLK Voyager Scorn and 1 TLK Voyager Nitro as of 1pm. They also got in a bunch of Seasprays and Cosmos.
There was 1 Misfire and 1 Windblade as well.

Carpenter Rd Target had 2 Twin Twists as of yesterday.

AA TRU has 1 Krok and 1 Quake.

I think that's all the noteworthy sightings I've seen in the last few days.

News Credits: 194 · Mon Oct 30, 2017 1:01 pm

The Saline Walmart had 3 Slugslingers at lunchtime today. They now have 2. I picked one up to replace mine that was broken.

I have now seen every Titans Return product in stores except for Overlord.

Happy Incipient Holidays all. Just procured 2 MPM Optimi@the Westland TRU. None left. They have a B2GOF sale occurring, so I also got a TLK Leader Dragonstorm for free! Plus I had a $10 off card. >:oP

Prime was priced@$99.99; I think I got the early price.

Nothing else of note, but they are fairly well-stocked.

Happy Hunting.

4 MPM Primes@the A2 TRU, as of 3:30pm.

News Credits: 194 · Mon Nov 13, 2017 6:24 pm

I picked up Power I’d the Primes Swoop at Ann Arbor/Saline road Target tonight. Used the DPCI and a guy got them out of the back for me. 087-06-5863. They should still have the rest of the case. He also said they were getting more on Wednesday.

Thanks for the info. I just picked up a set from them. I was at that Target in the morning doing regular shopping and should’ve asked if they were in stock then. Could’ve saved a trip.

Acquired the POTP Deluxe case@the AP Target on lunch today. DCPI worked, they retrieved it from the back. None left currently, but the indicated that they would be restocking more soon.

Sun Nov 26, 2017 10:02 am

Was in the Ford Rd Canton Target this morning. Scored the Wv 1 POTP Legends, they weren't out, but they did retrieve them for me. Left out 2 Skrapnels. They had a whole case of Seaspray/Cosmos, 2ea Quake and Krok, at least 1 Triggergappy, and a Blitzwing. They also had 1ea TLK Voyager Hound and Megatron. I think the sale is still active.

Stopped by the Ford Rd Walgreens on the way home and acquired a singular Clone Set. There was only one out, they may have had more in the back. They're having a 25% off sale for Transformers, so the set rang up@approximately $14.30. May be an opportune time to retro-collect some of those early wave TR Deluxes, as they should come up around the same price.

Argh...it's flabbergasting that anything sub $15 for Deluxes is to now be considered a deal.

Happy holidays and happy hunting.
