I bought Hound at Times Square TRU last week. He's pretty boss; definitely a worthy voyager! Just need to find a suitable Bulkhead style head (Hero Mashers or RID, maybe?) to put on his noggin, and I'll have me a Classics Bulkhead!

Also, found MP Grimlock at the Bronx Terminal TRU (by Yankees Stadium) today. So far, it's the only TRU I've seen him at. The one in Long Island City might have gotten him as well, since they tend to get the MPs just fine.

So, TRU in Long Island City has 6 MP Grimlocks just shelf warming the hell out of the place.

The boxes aren't the most mint you'll find (not awful, not great), BUT, they are there. In the flesh. Waiting to be bought.

TRU in Middletown has MP Grimlock. There were 2 or 3 left on the shelf after I snagged mine (damn near missed it too. They have two TF displays right now, in different parts of the store thanks to the movie release).

Found Platinum Edition Voyager AoE Prime & Grimlock at the 8th & Astor Street Kmart in Manhattan.

The price tag is steep (65.99 pretax). But the figures are awesome, and nicely chromed (though it's weird that, with all the chrome they have, Prime's side canisters remain a dull grey plastic).

2 left.

How is everyone doing in our great state? Been searching aisles lately for AOE Snarl and no luck. Hopefully we see him soon.

Most of my purchases have been online as of late however I enjoy sticking with brick and mortar since it's more fun to have a rewarding hunt in store.

Moving to Florida? Now you'll have nice weather and a good selection of TFs. I feel like they get a lot of sightings there for newer figures.

Found three sets of Platinum Edition Insecticons at the K-Mart in Webster. There was also a Jetfire figure and a Legends Thundercracker figure.

The Wal-Mart in Webster didn't have much in the way of Transformers at all. Just a couple RID figures and that's it.

Found these guys on clearance at my local Walmart in the southern part of the state (the Angry Birds one is fuzzy, but it's Heatwave)

Now to somehow get these (and a playskool Ironman play-set) to fit in the overflowing Toys for Tots box sitting in my closet...

I've been seeing Generations voyagers showing up at NYC area TJ Maxx and Marshall's stores. Saw Roadbuster and Whirl, and finally got my hands on a couple Brainstorms!

FYI - TRUs in the New York City area are getting Combiner Wars wave 2 deluxes. I picked up all 4 deluxes from Times Square earlier today.
