nothing good at any store in victor

News Credits: 3646 · Mon Feb 14, 2011 12:56 am

Earlier this evening around 6pm or 7pm, the FAO Schwarz near Central Park had 2 RTS G2 Optimus Primes, 2 RTS Bumblebees and 1 Perceptor. Everything else was older stock pre-2011.

I didn't see anything new at the TRU in Times Square, unless you're looking for Thunderwing and such.

I also saw a Generations Blurr at one of those stores, but I can't remember which one. I'm pretty sure it was the TRU.

Nothing at the 34th st Kmart unless you're looking for the Victory of the Fallen Legends five pack.

After about a month of searching finally found RTS Bumblebee, Wreck Gar, and Perceptor at Huntington Station K-Mart. K-Mart, Kohls, and Walgreens have been the only places I've ever run into RTS thus far in my area.

Anybody know whatever happened to Windcharger??? Wasn't he supposed to come out along side these?

BBTS just got in a huge shipment of figures this week. Windcharger was one of them so I'd expect to start seeing him out in stores in the next few weeks.

anywhere near rochester ny has been terrible lately

Fri Mar 25, 2011 6:25 pm

Stopped in the TRU at Times Square today. Lots of animated and HFTD Wave 3 as well as ROTF Wave 2 :shock:

. Not sure what's going on there... The latter was priced at 13.99, which is even more astonishing.

webster target restocks with RTS wave 1 WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

Fri Apr 08, 2011 12:03 am

I picked up a Special Ops Jazz at a Walgreens near me (Massapequa). They had Turbo Trax too, but I'm not all that interested in getting him right away. I'd check Walgreens near you if you are despret for the first wave of RTS. No Voyagers and I only saw HFTD scouts.

Fri Apr 08, 2011 8:02 pm

I happened to find RTS Optimus Prime x 2, Perceptor x 1, at my local Stop and Shop. Perceptor came home with me, since he's the first one I found and the price wasn't too bad... $12.99... perhaps check out your local Stop and Shops. You might get lucky.

Man Tyrann. Really wish you would have posted that you were still looking for them sooner. Kohls has been overrun with those 2 for months. Here's to hoping that they will eventually get later waves.

I really only wanted Jazz. For the Tracks mold I'd rather get Wheel Jack. Also looking for Lugnut. Haven't seen any of the Voyagers yet though.

Was in riverhead this afternoon and the only store to have DOTM stuff was walmart, and shockingly the prices are back to normal. Deluxes were $9.88, Voyagers were $18.77, Legends were $4.95, and the small HA were $9.97. Didnt see what the prices of the others classes were. Still no last wave generations or any RTS anywhere, all hope is lost. Question for those who found DOTM stuff at tru, is there a promotion for a free preview prime when you spend $25 or more? I got an email stating this but it didnt say if it was for online or in store purchases.

TRU in Yonkers had DOTM Leader BB & Sentinel Prime. Also had Voyager Megatron, OP, & Ironhide (no Skyhammer or Shockwave though). And they had Deluxe Topspin, Barricade, Jolt, BB, Starscream, Roadbuster, Ratchet, & Sideswipe (no Crankcase). And HA Backfire, Sandstorm, Ice Pick, & Thunderhead. And I got the free Preview Cyberverse Optimus figure with 3D glasses for spending over $25.

TRU in Bay Plaza in the Bronx had the same.

Tue May 24, 2011 3:58 pm

Walmart on route 110 in Farmingdale has Leader Sentinel Prime and Bumblebee, Voyager Ironhide, Optimus Prime, and Megatron, as well as Deluxe Crankcase, Roadbuster, Skids, Bumblebee, Ratchet and Starscream. They also have Human Alliance Bumblebee, Skids, Icepick, Sandstorm and the other guy who's name I forget. I saw some Cyberverse stuff too, though I don't remember exactly what they had.

I picked up a Sentinel Prime, voyager Megs and Crankcase and Roadbuster. I'm holding off for leader Ironhide instead of buying the voyager. ROTF Leader Prime is the last Movie Prime figure I'll ever buy, Same goes for leader Starscream. Now if they could just make a decent leader Megatron..
Also I have yet to see Shockwave in stores, which is lame.

Tue May 31, 2011 9:10 pm

Sorry for the double post. I picked up Shockwave today at Target in Hicksville (in the Broadway Mall). They had Skyhammer as well but I decided to wait on him. I also found Jolt, Topspin and Sideswipe at another Target (in Levittown, Hempstead turnpike). I recommend checking the Targets in your area for DOTM stuff as they seem to be getting all their shipments in now.

Thu Jun 02, 2011 3:27 pm

DSOTM Shockwave in stock Metropolitan ave Toysrus .. i picked up 2x and Laserbeak 2x they had like 4x more of each.. laserbeak is sick and shockwave also i opened em up! and damn i am happy lol

Picked up Wreck-Gar and Perceptor and Optimus Prime from RTS, at the Marshalls in Upstate ny Newburgh and at the TJ Maxx at woodbury mall I got Animated Wreck-Gar and ROTF Arcee. They need to add TJ Maxx to there database. I tried to add to sighting board.

At the Woodbury Monroe Walmart store just scored Movie Exclusive's Optimus Prime and BB. Didnt get the other but theres is plenty!!!

Wed Jun 15, 2011 12:04 pm

So I ran to Broadway Mall in Hicksville to pick up some Games from the Gamestop there (DOTM was one of them Btw). I figured I'd check out Target to see what they had. I struck Gold. Not only is there a sale on DOTM stuff (Deluxe is $10.99, Leader is $39.99, Voyagers and others are discounted as well) but I found all the current Transformers I was looking for from that line. I grabbed Leader Ironhide, Deluxe Laser Beak, Barricade and Thundercracker. They had a few Shockwaves as well. I think I got the only Ironhide sadly, but they had a few more Thundercrackers left as well as most of the other Deluxes. I didn't see Skyhammer. He is the only other DOTM figure I am interested in right now besides HA Roadbuster. I'd check your local Targets to see if they have the sale and some of the DOTM stuff you might be looking for like Leader Ironhide.

Yorktown Heights TJ max= Animated Wreck-Gar, I saw 2 for $7 each. Cant beet that!

Thu Jun 16, 2011 6:17 pm

Long-time lurker just signed up (I used to have a profile years ago, but I couldn't log in/find it). And I know my stuff -- been a fan/collector since 1984, have pretty much everything from '84-'87 since I was a kid, and collect a fair amount from '88 up to boot.

Unless I missed it, I didn't see any reports on Oswego/Fulton/Clay, NY area stores, which I can do.

Oswego and Fulton Wal-Marts are absolutely loaded with DOTM. There seem to be easily several of every character, especially Deluxe series. In the past 2-3 months, they also had a bunch of Universe Deluxe Class "G1"-era remake characters re-stocking from time to time, many of which I missed the 1st time around and I'm picked up. Still looking for a few, but I got most of the ones I'm looking for (still seeking Wheeljack and Thrust without success though). They also had the Rodimus/Cyclonus sets, and I bought one (none now).

I plan to check out some Clay, NY stores this weekend. I've yet to see any Reveal The Shield line figures (except the Rodimus/Cyclonus set) anywhere in my area, and I need a few of those.

Semi-recent find: Last October, I surprisingly located and purchased a Re-Issue Perceptor in the Clay, NY TRU. Unfortunately, it was the only re-issue I've found there in years (I missed Insecticons & Soundwave), and it was only one, so I got it. :KREMZEEK:

Just got back frome the target in newburgh ny and got Bumblebee Vs Megatron (megs looks good in blk/purple) Cyberverse set and Leadfoot and Ironhide (also love this color on him navy blue and sliver), only 2 set of each left and at 9.99 cant beat that!! :lol:

Sun Jun 19, 2011 1:26 pm

While it seems that everyone else is going DOTM, I keep going G1-redo Generations because I missed them all last year (and I'm primarily a Gee-won collector).

My local Oswego & Fulton Wal-Marts have been re-stocking Generations, which have enabled me to get several that I missed (and could not afford 2nd-hand on eBay). Thundercracker, Kup, Scourge, Thunderwing, Warpath, Wheeljack, Dirge, Blurr (aong others)... all recent finds. They still have one or two left of some, re-stock others, but not all.

Still, none of my local stores stock any "Reveal the Shield". I may have to schedule a 45-mile mall trip to see if they have any there.
