No I can vouch for the fact that the figures move that quickly. The other night I asked if anyone knew what Wave 2, Revision 2 was...('77 Bumblebee...) and the next morning? All but the two Bonecrushers, and one Swindle...ALL GONE.

Yes, they can move that quick. It's insane.

I went to Toys R Us just now, there were no new deluxes or anything. But, they had plenty of classics Optimus Prime and classics Jetfires. Hmm. I'll be there tomorrow morning as well.

Exactly. There were shelf-warmers left. There wasn't even that, just completely bare pegs. I'm not sure how that lonely Megatron made it out, maybe they restocked a few Voyagers and those did sell. But I'm sure there'd be a Swindle or Wreckage left if they had restocked deluxes.

Went to Joliet Target today. As far as regular figures, 1 Wreckage, 2 Ironhides. But they were restocking when I was there, so there may be some later. There were a ton of those hideous Robot Replicas(didn't think it was possible, but they're even uglier up close), TECHs, and they restocked more Robot Heroes. Not only a mix of waves 1 and 2 for the Robot Heroes, but the movie ones as well. Snagged BB and Barricade.

OK, I didn't realize there were so many Chicago-area peeps on this board...can we get a roll call or something? I think we need to have a party...you drink the beer, I'll drink the vodka... 8)

My local Target's been restocked, but only with Robot Replicas. There isn't even a spot anymore for Deluxes.

ha.. bare pegs?... the target in streamwood doesn't even have that.. i think people are collecting the pegs the deluxes used to hang from now... ;-) seriously. Hopefully, they're probably getting ready for a major reset as the entire isle was cleaned out... Anyway, I went and scoured every Target and TRU from St. Charles all the way to Schaumburg... only thing I saw were a few basics at Targets until I arrived at the TRU in Schaumburg. I picked up Voyager Prime and Wreckage . didn't pay attention to any other TF item, though. Heading out 1st thing Saturday morning, so look out people

Hello Folks New Member here!! Been a lurker for awhile though.

I went to Wal-Mart Kmart, and Kohl's in my area yesterday, and found most of the shelves empty when it came to deluxes, but was able to get a PayLoad, Final Battle Jazz, and Voyager Megs at Kmart. Saw a few baricades, and Brawls at Kohl's, and about 6 Leader Class Primes at Wal-Mart. I live in Ohio BTW. Just thought i share my findings with you guys in my area.

Deluxe Bumblebee 08' TRU Item number?

Postby Starkenator » Sat Aug 11, 2007 1:37 pm

Starscream wrote:I'm sorry to say that the photo with the deluxe lineup is a bit of a pharse, I purchased everyone of those figures...

I had to work for it though!! They were packaged in the shipping boxes at the very top of the aisle. I had to climb up and grab them. Man I felt like a tool. Oh well, I gots me an '08 bumblebee finally!!!!!!!!!!!


Could you tell me what the TRU item number is for deluxe concept bumblebee? I have called a couple of TRU's and they asked me for the item number. Thanks.

While this news is cool and all, it sucks for those of us who live near Wichita, Kansas. The only TRU is on the east side, and their Transformers selection is a frakkin' joke!

Welcome aboard payload. Nice to see another smiling face. literally!

I just got back from my local TRU and the shelves were packed with tones of real gear, FAB, Deluxes and Voyagers. Mind you I live in the blustery snow caps of Canada, so we're only up to Wave 2.0

Well, I have checked the following stores:
9 Super WalMarts
4 Targets
2 Big Kmarts
3 Kohls
1 Sears Essentials Store
4 Toys R Us
The cities include: Belvidere, Rockford, Freeport IL
Brookfield, New Berlin, Milwaukee, WI

between them, they have precisely 20 deluxes, all but two of which are Movie Preview figures (and all at one TRU). The other two were Bonecrusher. They had no Leaders, no scouts, and 4 Voyagers. Hasbro, your distribution has never sucked more than it does right now.
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

Now that you mention it, in my hunt for those deluxes I have not seen another Leader class fig.
Leaders turned out to be rare, When I got my Prime and megatron they were the only ones of thier stock (39.99) there so I got 'em.

And even when i got Megatron, The guy told me they just happened to have and extra in stock. tlk about short supply. It's like the leader classes' don't get restocked.

Maybe when They will be back with Leader brawl in the fall.

In Middle Tennessee I've been to

7 Wal-Marts
4 Targets
2 TRU's
2 KB Toys
1 Rose's
5 K-Marts
2 Hastings

In Sparta, McMinnville, Murfreesboro, Tullahoma, Shelbyville, Manchester, Smyrna and Nashville.

The TRU's had lots of Voyager class, including Prime and Megatron. The Sparta and McMinnville Wal-Marts had dozens of Leader Class Primes, The Murfreesboro Target had 2 Leader Prime and 1 leader Megatron

Shelbyville Wal-Mart and Tullahoma K-Mart have Clasics and Cybertron deluxe figs and some Voyagers, Prime and Jetfire.

Out of all those stores the ONLY one that had ANY Movie Deluxe figs was Tullahoma Hastings. They had 20+ of wave one, at $13. They haven't restocked, they've had that display there since June.

Last week I went to 8 stores in Clarksville, nothing at any of them. I know that new figs will be showing up eventually, but it seems like we're not getting anything.
