If anyone sees the Insecticons and Perceptor at the Carle Place TRU, please let me know.

I saw Ejector at the Westbury Target yesterday and found the last HA Skids there too.

Still tons of Universe Voyagers and Ultras at the Carle Place TRU yesterday.

Anyone find Jetfire in any of the Western NY chain stores? It seems like us Rochesterians are always the last to get this stuff for some reason

Booyah!!!! Scored the Insecticons and Perceptor at Carle Place Toys R Us. Story behind it all is I've been checking every day for them since they were spotted a couple of weeks ago. I was finally getting fed up and was going to order them online when for whatever reason somedays the listings would say out of stock and some days I couldn't pull up the listing at all. Finally called customer service to find out if any store in my area had them as I was willing to drive anywhere. Low and behold after giving them the item number they tell me that the same Carle Place store I normally go to has 40 of them in real time inventory. Go back to the store and I finally see a sticker but none out. I go to customer service and they tell me they'll get a stock person to check. First person says that they must be sold out because they're not on the shelf. I'm thinking to myself that you sold forty products in the matter of a day? You couldn't even fit that many on the tiny space that had set aside on the shelf. So I tell him that I just called customer service and they told me that the inventory was up to the minute. Finally he goes to look again and I can tell he's just bullshitting. Finally he goes to some other lady and she says that the truck probably hasn't gotten there yet. This is where my retail background from the Cell Phone company i work for comes in. I know your inventory does not say you have something if you haven't received it in. It would say in transit but it was clear that nobody was really trying to bust their ass to find these things for me. So as I was about to leave I say a sarcastic thank you to the staff as I'm walking out. The lady I was speaking with earlier says sorry we couldn't find the item for you and low and behold a savior by the name of Steve overhears the conversation and inquires about what I was looking for. Told him the story and of course the chic starts chiming in about the truck that probably hasn't gotten there yet. Steve says without pause "the truck dropped 12 pallettes in the back a while ago. Did anybody check those?" With a stupid look on her face of course she sheepishly said no and there went Steve to the back. When I tell you in no more than 5 minutes he's out the back with 2 boxes (there's apparently one of each in each box). I was so finally happy to have the things I couldn't care about how much the rest of those dumb asses waisted my time. I went right over to check out to snatch them up before something else happened. Steve said that he would make sure the rest are out tonight so if you guys get there quick you should be able to snatch them up. If he is not the manager than he damn well should be. :grin:

No problem.

Finally opened mine up and they are great except for the fact that one of my Insecticons has a nick in his Chrome already. :-x

It's not that bad though. I'll consider it battle damage.

Has anyone seen the Ice Cream Twins on Long Island? I've been looking for about two months now! Nothing.

Sun Oct 25, 2009 7:02 pm

Saw the Ice Cream Twins at East Meadow Walmart and Westbury target on Friday. There was only one of each in either location though. If you go to the Walmart be sure to check all over the toy section because they have many different displays for movie figures.

Heading there tomorrow! I did find one last night at the Westbury Walmart, but i had to take it back because he was missing a piece on his leg, the one that holds his back fins.

They had 1 more Soundwave and 1 Freeway Jazz left on the pegs.

Also there were several of the Legend 5 packs there incase anyone is still looking for them.

Has anyone, on Long Island, seen the SE Dragstrip and Overkill? Checked Marshalls in Patchogue and Shirley and came up goose egg. Although I did see what appeared to be a re-sealed 2007 Movie Voyager Prime in the Shirley Marshalls.

Fri Jan 22, 2010 3:32 pm

Found the HTS Special Edition Transformers at these Marshalls:

Patchogue, NY (Gateway Plaza) Marshalls had 4 SE Megatrons
Shirley, NY Marshalls was well stocked with multiples of all 4 SE Figures, Megatron, Optimus Prime, Overkill and Dragstrip.

^ thanks for the tip Godzill216! I might take a drive out east and pick up a second set of Dragstrip & Overkill.

Oh and I finally bought some toys today. Leader class Animated Bulkhead was on clearance at Westbury Toys R Us. Also the TF Mighty muggs were on sale for buy 1 get 1 50% off. Everyone get your Jazz and Shockwaves!

Still no sighting of Animated Arcee

That is a great price! I hope the Targets around Chicago will do something similar. Last I saw, they were still 50% off.

I'll be heading to NYC here in two weeks for Toy Fair. Any new toy shops in the area?

Wed Feb 10, 2010 3:16 pm

Went to Toys R Us in Carle Place NY searching for Animated Arcee but of course no luck. They did have the new Black colored ROTF leader Megatron for those interested. I personally can't justify $45 for this repaint as it really doesn't change the figure too much when you see it in person. I almost didn't even notice it from the regular one next to it when I walked by.

Dumb Q: anyone seen the Kmart exclusive Nebular Starscream NY/Long Island area? I know it takes...FOREVER for stuff to drift out to the island of hell here, but...any hope at all?

Diablien and I grabbed a pair of Ratchets and Arcees yesterday at the Central Park Fao Schwarz. I wasn't expecting to find them there ... I somehow missed the news last year that TRU bought Fao Schwarz and didn't expect to find TRU exclusives at Fao.

As of 1pm yestrday, there were still 2 Cybertron Mode Ratchets at FAO.
