Thanks for this update. Now there's only one left at that Walmart. :grin:

I don't know why, but I thought this'd be a bit bigger. Good news is that at $32 it's cheaper than I expected.

I'm off at lunch time to look for Animated Arcee and Cybertron Ratchet at the Minnetonka Toys R Us. If I find them, I'll post.

Okay, a little bit drive is worth. Finally got animated Arcee, at the Blain TRU store. Initially I only saw one Ratchet so I asked a guy to check their inventories. He brought out a whole box with half Arcee and half Ratchet. So I would say they have at least 3+ left for each of them. Good luck guys.

The Wal Mart Shakopee had some Marvel Crossovers: XForce Wolverine, Captain America, Hulk buldozer.

Slightly off topic: the Wal Mart in Albert Lea had a ton of stuff for Iron Man 2 on Sunday!

Minnetonka Toys R Us (Hopkins in the sightings) had the Back Road Brawl two pack with Hoist and Mixmaster. Looked like a whole shelf of them. Also, the Icecream Twins and Demolisher (Shangai Showdown, I think?) are there as well.

Pegs are full of Animated Freeway Jazz and Soundwave with Ratbat. ANd no one would go back and check on Arcee and Ratchet for me. Said their database was down. I don't know if I risk a trip to Blaine to get disappointed again.

Gotta love the hunt! :BANG_HEAD:

Don't. I was there yesterday trying to pick up couple more for my friends and no Arcee left (they did check for me on the back and their system was down also). Really surprise. There was whole box of half of she on Monday when I got her. They said there is no new order for this week but maybe can check back next week (better call before go). However, they have 5 Ratchet available yesterday.

I have no hope on the Minnetonka one. They've over stocked with Jazz and Soundwave.

Anything good in Rochester. I haven't checked for a while. Got to the point where it was a waste of time to check-there just hasn't been much going on for a while.

As far as answering the question of whether Mindwipe is good......Some people love the hell out of that toy. I think it is good, and I bought it, but it's not the coolest thing ever. It is a good toy though.

Well, actually I did find a HA Barricade, Brawn, and Lockdown at the South Walmart in Rochester.

There was only one Barricade and Lockdown tho, which I took

Sun Mar 14, 2010 6:03 pm

Those were good finds! Here on the North side, there isn't anything.

Sun Mar 21, 2010 7:38 am

Don't forget to check out TRU today since they are having that sale today. I will not be able to look around, but good luck to anyone who gets to.

Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:35 pm

Rochester WalMart North has a bunch of the deluxe NEST figures. There are a tin of Brawn, Lockdown, and Sideswipe. FYI

Any recent Arcee sightings? I thought I'd sit back and wait for them to clog shelves like is usually the case with TRU exclusives after a month or so...it's kinda looking like that's not going to happen this time around.

News Credits: 10 · Tue Mar 30, 2010 8:51 pm

I had been looking in Minnetonka, Blaine, and very occaisionally in Maplewood for Arcee. I'd 'bout given up when I went to Blaine last week and saw they had restocked Animated with the likes of Optimus and Bumblebee. I gave up and overpaid at one of the Amazon merchants.

So, they should be flooding the shelves any day now.

Wed Mar 31, 2010 12:39 am

I really haven't see her or much else in Rochester. It has been a couple weeks since I looked though.

News Credits: 2 · Wed Mar 31, 2010 8:28 am

Wow! Then I should say I'm extremely lucky to get one when I saw her in Blaine. Since I'm done with the ROTF line and got Arcee, I went back to eBay shopping and seldom checked any of the stores recently. I might start soon since I need to get some presents (probably TFs) for a friend's kid birthday gift. I will post if I see anything new.

Saw 3 HA Barricade at Brooklyn Park Walmart. They also have couple deluxe Brawn, Lockdown, and Ratchet.

Fri May 07, 2010 7:19 am

I haven't really seen a whole lot for a while. Actually, haven't had time to look for a while either. I really would like to pick up HA Barricade though, so we'll see what happens with that.

As far as "off the shelf" TF's, I am really just looking forward to the Generations figures to start coming. I can't wait for that.

Me too! Anyone know when they are supposed to hit the shelves?

Sat May 08, 2010 1:26 am

Hey Iron Prime! How's it goin'?

I have no clue when these things are going to hit the market. I really would like to know though.

News Credits: 2 · Mon May 10, 2010 11:58 am

Well, BBTS has the Generation preorder arrive around August. So I guess it could be around that time.

Fri May 21, 2010 5:01 am

Very good then. I am pretty excited for a couple of them. I haven't seen a glimpse of HA Barricade at ll. That is one that I am looking forward too as well.

I've seen a few HA Barricades around; yesterday at the Target in Apple Valley and at the Toys R Us in Bloomington/Richfield.

Not much else going on. Also at the Bloomington Toys R Us I saw 2 Cybertron Ratchets. Prolly means I missed the Arcees by a few hours.
