Just came from the Minnetonka TRU and they had 1 each left of the 25th Anniversary Countdown and Darkwind in case anyone is still looking for these guys.

It has been dismal in Rochester, MN. That's about all there is to say about it.

Fri Jun 11, 2010 6:36 am

Not too much up here either. Hopefully it's the calm before the storm.... :grin:

I hope so too, IP. Bring on Generations!!!!!

Yeah, nothing new. But good thing is Target and TRU are having sale now to clean out spaces. Nothing interest me but would take this chance if some boys' birthday party is close by.

Paid a quick visit for three stores this week. Maple Grove Walsart's TF shelf is 90% empty. Maple Grove Target is 75% empty. Minnetonka TRU, unfortunately, is still packed. Overstocked with the exclusive sets but no signs of any animated exclusives.

The Toys R Us in Burnsville had a few TFA Cybertron Ratchets, but no Arcees....

Checked Minnetonka TRU to see if any sign of generation line. Nope, but found 2 animated Arcee and 4 Ratchet.

Minnetonka TRU wins the race this time. Sighted hunt for the deceptions 3 leader hook Prime, 1 BBBB, 2 Jetblade, 1 Ravage. Few more HFTD legend class. They also has several WFC Prime and BB at the video game section.

Was in Blaine and Burnsville at Toys R Us. Saw just about everything expected of Hunt for decepticons: Voyager (Grabbed a Seaspray in Burnsville, one Seaspray left), Deluxe, Legends, and Activators (these look interesting, I might have to get a few for my son. They're bigger than I expected). Also found all the power core combiners and scout figures. Saw Generations Optimus and Bumbles, but still no Thrust or Drift. :BANG_HEAD:

Thanks for the updates, everyone. I am going to hopefully make it out to check today or tomorrow in Rochester. I will let you know what I find.

Indeed. I got activator Bumblebee for my son and he is much better than the activators in animated line. He is almost as big as the deluxe class and both modes look decent.

Made a run with a buddy from New Ulm Yesterday:

Toys R Us, Burnsville: nothing
Toys R Us, Bloomingtion(?): (@ I35/I494 intersection) they had some power core guys: helicopter, yellow work truck, fire truck (don't have names memorized yet, sorry!)
Toys R Us, Plymouth: Not much, but had WFC OP and BB - my friend and I each picked up Optimus!

Nothing at any targets....

Don't know why Walmart and Target are so behind this time. Visited Maple Grove Walmart and they have NOTHING.

Minnetonka TRU has few more HFTD and PCC now. Saw 4 Seasprays, 1 Smolder, 2 each of 5 pack Combaticons and Aerialbots, couple more deluxe Ironhide, BBBB, etc, many WFC Prime and BB. Still no signs of Drift and Thrust.

BTW, they still have 1 HA Barricade. Go for it if you don't have and want one.

I want these guys BAD!

Blaine TRU has nothing special but a leader class Starscream, however his light and sound feature does not work. KMart across the street has few PCC. What's up with Target and Walmart?

News Credits: 2 · Tue Jul 13, 2010 1:08 pm

Visited Maple Grove Kohl's. Found bunch of HFTD deluxe class but for what surprises me is also found bunch of HFTD scout class. Price is higher than TRU though but is running 10% off. Got Hubcap. He is nice and the car mode is lovely.

Just to clarify for what I put in the sighting is incorrect. The Kohl's store I went is in Maple Grove.

Wed Jul 14, 2010 12:43 am

TRU had a bunch of stuff when I went there a couple days ago. I actually picked up HA Barricade. He was the only one at the time though.

They had 2-3 Leader Starscreams, a couple Battle Blades Prime, Deluxe Ironhide, WFC Bumblebee, and there was one Sea Spray. They also had several PCC figures and the Combiner Packs.

Saw 2 leader class Bumblebee yesterday at the Minnetonka TRU. Light and sound feature is okay but he didn't interest me much.

Still haven't seen Drift and Thrust in the store. But I got my Thrust already from walmart.com and my back-door-order Drift should arrive today.

Keep your eyes on Targets this weekend. I was at the one in Blaine/Coon Rapids? The one by Northtown. They had more than 5 each of Thrust and Drift at noon, plus Hunt for the Decepticons and PCC. There were a few S.E.A. Sprays and a Leader Starscream. Only things I didn't see were the scouts for HftD and legends Ravage.

I hit the Targets in Brooklyn Park and Crystal on my way home and they haven't stocked anything yet. I bet they will real soon. Good luck!

Fri Jul 30, 2010 6:25 pm

Savage Target had Thrust, Drift, Seaspray, WFC OP, WFC BB, and PCCs.

Target in Brooklyn Park is still NADA. However, it looks like everything is at the Super Target in Champlain on hwy 169. (I used Osseo Target in sightings.)

Super Target had one Human Alliance Jazz and Lennox, if anybody is interested. I think I did the right two pack exclusives in the sightings. I think I'm set for a while now.
