Found Return of The Fallen Bruticus over at Target in Westbury NY. They don't have them on the floor for some reason. You have to get someone to get it out of the back for you. Anybody seen Thrust in Long Island??

Not yet. I'd almost suggest you order it on HTS.com, if it is in stock, that is. That's what I did at the beginning of August for Long Haul and the Ice Cream twins. Otherwise, I'd still be looking for them today. Instead, I've owned them since Aug. 21.

I order from HTS in extreme circumstances only because for whatever reason they have a dirty habit of charging my card twice and double holding funds everytime I order from them. They pissed me off so much the first time they did it that the only thing that made it worth it was that I couldn't find Inferno anywhere. Funny you mention the Ice Cream Twins since I remember running into them right around when the Movie released when I was looking for Superion in Target and couldn't find him. I was thinking to myself that somebody probably wants this really bad. Seems like you always find the stuff you don't want and never the stuff you really do.

That sucks. I never had an issue with HTS, except for that "over the top" shipping and handling price they put on their toys... back during the 2007 run, I badly wanted Barricade but held off getting him, until I couldn't find him anywhere so I gave in and bought him from HTS... and the main reason I put an order in this time was because I had the no shipping code. I also remember the moment I left the theater, after seeing ROTF, I turned to my friend and said, how cool would it be if Hasbro makes that Ice Cream truck. So after it was released on the West Coast and saw the eBay prices from the scalpers, I figured if I didn't order it (and Long Haul) from Hasbro, I'd probably never find them...

As for sightings, I have nothing new to add. May go out on a lesser scavenger hunt on Sunday. I'm hoping Walmart still has the Rollback prices and be nice enough to stock up a Leader Jetfire. I should pick up Leader Prime as well, but I promised myself I'd get Jetfire first. No rhyme or reason to my thinking, so don't ask...

... oh forgot, I did find the Animated Activators Fireblast Grimlock at the Stop & Shop on CR-101 in Medford, on Monday. They seem to always have at least one, every week, on the pegs.

Checked out one of my favorite spots Amok Time on Hempstead Tpke in Levittown. The store amazes more and more each time I go. For anybody looking for older Universe figures they may have missed check em out. I saw loads of Hot Shot, Smokescreen, Dinobot, Cheetor, and a Ratchet. They also had a few great loose figures. I picked up a Movie Leader Optimus Prime from 2007 and Ironhide for little of nothing. The Universe figures were marked up a bit to $20 but that's not bad if you really can't find something. They also had beast wars and cybertron stuff.

They didn't happen to have any other Beast Wars Figures other then Scavenger? Been there twice in a month and thats all they had. I'm mostly looking for Transmetal Megs and Tarantulus but any other Transmetals save for Scavenger and Primal are what I am interested in. Did see a TM2 Optimus Minor like last week but I had little interest in it.

For those that haven't gotten around to Bruticus Maximus.

Endcap had about 23 in total (Target @ Elmhurst, NY) about 11:25am. It took them long enough.

My Girlfriend surprised me today with a real nice gift. The fc-uk store in the Roosevelt Field Mall has a Transformer themed shirt again. After I complained about missing out on the Prime shirt from last movie she figured I would want this one. They also had several Marvel and Ghostbuster ones as well.



The guy on the bag thinks my new shirt is awesome

Lol that's a epic shirt man. Do you happen to know what the marvel shirt had on it? I'm Curious.

I may check out some stores tomorrow.

Stoped by the walmart in middle island today (well technically yesterday) and they have all the new deluxes and theyre on sale for $10. Picked up Blazemaster (awesome figure needs hands though) and Arcee (Also an awesome figure). Arcee is way better in person. Friend got one last week and wouldnt shut up about how cool the figure is. For once he was right. Still no sign of Grindor, Long Haul or activator Soundwave. If any one knows where i could find them please PM me.

carle place TRU has about 12 grindors and about 3 long hauls. there might be a case of long hauls up top. they also got a shitload of vector primes, infernos and overlaods from the universe line.

The only place I've seen Activators Soundwave was in the toy aisle of any Stop & Shop you can think of. Probably the best time to check those are as early in the week as possible, because they only seem to put one out each of the Soundwave, Fire Grimlock and Optimus Prime Activators. Has their been any sightings of Leader Jetfire at the Middle Island Walmart yet?

Also, need to hit up that TRU in Carle Place. I've been wanting to pick up Inferno, since I saw a video. Today, could've been the day, but oh well.

BJ's in Levittown has Devastator for 69.99 if anybody is interested.

Wow awesome. thanks for the heads up.

Any sign of the TRU exclusive Perceptor/insecticons/Hoist yet?

Does this TRU still have a lot of Infernos on the shelves?

Any HA Skids sightings in Carle Place TRU, Westbury Walmart/Target, East Meadow Walmart or Levittown Target, LMK!

Sawy 2 HA BB and one HA SS at Levittown Target today. They also had a Leader Jetfire, i was tempted because I want another one just to keep in his alt mode but i passed this time.

Stopped by the walmart in middle island today and the deluxes are still on sale for $10 i picked up jolt. Pickings are slim but they still have at least 2 arcees, 2 deadends, 1 bazemaster, and most of the wave one figures. I think i got the last jolt. Also found activator soundwave. Theres maybe 2 left. I know theres at least one. Also voyagers are on sale for $20. All they have is Megatron and strat. Also saw HA sideswipe & bumblebee. They also have a few of the devastators, think its on sale to for $70. The sticker that was by it said $69.97 but i didnt read what it was for but dev was the only thing there. Stil no grindor or long haul. Wish the stores around here would restock.

Yeah, when I was at the Middle Island Walmart on Wednesday, I was practically tripping over all of the Devs. They were everywhere, but never bothered looking at the price. I was trying to find Leader Jetfire again, but the only Leader Class I found was Prime, hiding among something... same isle as the rest of the Transformers but just not with them... I'm still glad I got Long Haul from HTS, or I'd probably never own him at this point.

TRU at Sunvet Mall was slim pickings too. There I was hoping maybe I'd find Universe Inferno, but of course not. There were Mudflaps and Ravages as far as the eye can see, a couple of 2007 Movie Voyager Primes, which I never knew existed, and tons of Universe Voyager Class Dropshot, but one Universe Voyager Autobot Blades... and any word about the boatload of Infernos at Carle Place? I'd really like to pick one up...

To anyone asking the toys r us in carle place still had numerous infernos. They are mostly in a bin toward the back of the store and not in the actual tf section. They also had a lot of countdowns and darkwinds. I was unlucky enough to choose a countdown that had busted electronics in the missle so I will be going back. Walmart in east meadow also has the newer exclusives. Picked up the silverbolt repaint but passed on the others. Also finally found rotf thrust there. As far as I could see I got the last one along with gears.

Has anyone seen HA Skids in Carle Place TRU, Westbury Walmart/Target, East Meadow Walmart, Levittown Target or in Amok Time?''

And please let me know if anyone sees Perceptor and the Insecticons at TRU in Carle Place, apparently, they are out in retail now.

Went to toys r us carle place today looking for the Insecticons and Perceptor. Didn't find them but I found the Hoist and Mixmaster set. There are still 2 more left. They still also had a load of universe voyagers, particulary Inferno and Vector prime. Makes me wonder if they had stock of them in the back for all these months because I remember searchinng forever for him before I finally found him. For those who may also collect nerf guns like I do they also had the new pinpoint sight mission kit. Really gives you the feeling like you got something out of COD4.

Sorry Moon. Still no HA Skids.

Thanks dude, im gonna check all those stores on Saturday and maybe stop by Amok Time. They revamped the site and it looks like they have a bunch of Beast Wars figures I have been looking to get.

And if I have time, i might check the stores in Valley Stream on Sunrise.

The Walmart in Setauket, NY had the following newer items on the shelves, in no particular order...

2x ROTF Deluxe Thrust
1x HA Skids
2x Exclusive Red Powerglide
2x Exclusive Hardhead

Still haven't had a chance to take a quick trip out to TRU in Carle Place for the Inferno. Oh well. I'm in the process of slowly finding all my loose G1 Transformers, that weren't supposed to be loose, and it's not like I have room for Universe Inferno, even though I want him pretty bad.
