-Voyager Rhinox
-Voyager Doubledealer
-Legends Swerve
-Legends Cosmos
It would really get me down if Whirl showed up without us getting these. Hopefully they'll all hit NYC at the same time... but still. It's been a helluva wait.

I agree, Megatronus. I live in Central New York and I've been checking everywhere for the past 3 weeks and have found no new deluxes, voyagers, and let alone any new legends. If I find any of these I will let you guys know of course.

No sign of Prime yet. The people working there didn't seem to know anything... I shall remain vigilant!

I was at Times Square yesterday; they do indeed have YOTH Prime. I called the Yankees stadium TRU this morning, and they also have it. I put one on reserve there because they have some in the back. Hopefully the boxes won't have dents from the anti theft cables they strap on at Times Square.

you getting one? I'm not sure if I want this anymore. their online price is 129.99 so with 15% off coupon (if it works) it'll be $120 with tax. same price as BBTS I guess. I shall go tonight after the gym and see if I want it holding it in-hand.

I'm definitely getting one. I dig the colors, which don't give him an Optimus Prime feel, but make him seem like a separate, equally cool character. Honestly, that sort of treatment was necessary if HasTak were to get me to pick up yet another iteration of this mold.
You won't be able to get a good look at him through the package window, unfortunately - the anti theft straps sort of close it off, which is a bummer. Their systems have 159.99 as the price, so definitely make sure you price match the online listing if you decide to jump in

I just returned from traveling abroad the last 3 weeks. Naturally, one of the first things I did to celebrate my return home was hunt for new TFs!
I found quite a bit today at the NYC, East 116th Street Target:
-Generations Legends Cosmos & Swerve
-AOE Deluxe Scorn & Slug
-AOE Voyager Evasion OP & Grimlock
There were plenty AOE stuff & Generations Voyagers/Legends left. Decided to pass on Deluxe Crosshairs & BB. Target also seems to have restocked Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures, so I picked up Spider-Girl & Toxin.
At T.J. Maxx, I spotted the oversized BH Voyagers (OP & Predaking) and a few deluxes. May go back for Predaking; I was just passing through and the wait on line didn't seem worth it.
I'll probably head to a different Target and a TRU in the next day or two, so I'll keep you all posted with any good finds. Hoping to find AOE Voyager Hound & Galvatron soon.
