Air Raid, Dark Steel, and Armor Topspin sighted at Hickory Target. One of each, and I only left Topspin. TRU in Hickory had Rage over Cybertron sets and MP Rodimus. Conover Kmart had Guzzle, Dark Sentinel Prime yesterday. Ollie's in Hickory had four! Solar Storm Grappels, couple Lugnuts, and oodles of deep dive. I left them all.

I FINALLY found the RtS legends class figures at TJ Maxx. I also spotted a few Cannon Force Ironhides at TRU if you're into that sort of thing.

I found the last of the Generation figures finally. Posted this way after filling out a problem report on the address. The new address for the Wal-Mart Super Center is 935 Blowing Rock Blvd, Lenoir, NC 28645. They only had one each of Sky Shadow and Junkheap. Yes, I bought both of them. To find them here is like finding gold since it takes a while to get stuff in. They also had leader class movie Ironhide, which is hard to come by. Only seen him twice, but I couldn't afford him, so he is still there just in case you need him. Maybe this gives you guys some hope that we will get more of these figures here.

Lexington's Wal-Mart SuperCenter seems to have gone dry. I've been waiting for them to start resetting the Toy Department modular, but as of Friday, 27 January 2012, there's been no change. They've even started filling the empty DOTM pegs with those fighting robot figures from that lame fighting robot movie with Hugh Jackman.

The few pegs for their Generations figures still have the same figures on them they've had for a few months, several Scourge figures (in case you want to build up your Sweeps) and a couple of Kup figures. That's it. No sign of Junkheap or Sky Shadow.

Thomasville's Wal-Mart SuperCenter has made some changes to their Toy Department modular and I was able to find two DOTM figures I didn't have yet, Specialist Ratchet and Cyberfire Bumblebee (which I am totally disappointed in for the poor paint quality). I also acquired Legion Soundwave (sorry, it was the only one) and Legion Flak.

The week after Christmas, I made a special (special because it's further than I usually travel now due to gas being so expensive) trip to High Point and visited Ross, TJ Maxx, Target, and Wal-Mart SuperCenter. Aside from Target having more than enough of HA Leadfoot (which surprisingly I didn't purchase), the trip was a total bust. It might be on Clearance by now, so I might be due for another trip.

As for Ross and TJ Maxx, I've never found any of the RTS figures at either store and I'm still needing Scout Class Chopsaw and Windcharger and Legends Class Prowl and Trailcutter to complete that line.

However, I did get a great deal on the STAR WARS THE CLONE WARS REPUBLIC ATTACK SHUTTLE Vehicle as it was 50% off it's original price of $79.97 at the Wal-Mart SuperCenter in High Point. So I guess the trip to High Point wasn't a total waste of time and gas.

I guess it's for the best right now that I haven't found much of anything lately as I recently paid Robot Kingdom for TFC's Neckbreaker (Not-Bonecrusher) and Mad Blender (Not-Mix Master) and both are en route, so money's tight to begin with.

Picked up Generations Wheeljack today over at one of the Wal*Marts here in Wilmington. I prefer this version rather than Tracks, which is weird because I consider Tracks one of my favorites considering the fact I picked him up while I was touring Camp Lejeune. I picked up the last one, so don't get disappointed when you browse over there and don't see him.

Hey guys, new to the forum, long time TF fan. I was at the New Bern Target on Thursday and picked up the Transformers Prime "Cyberverse" Arcee and Cliffjumper. These are the miniature transformers, Legion Class. I love these minis! Anyway, they only had one each of those, which I bought. There was also a Ratchet and Vehicon, I didn't like those guys as much so left them there. So it wasn't much, but at least we're finally getting Prime figures! Yay!

I looked to add these to the toy sightings area, but couldn't find this category. Are they not appearing anywhere else?

TRU in Concord, NC has five PRID Voyager Optimus, 3 PRID Bumblebee, 2 Wheeljack, 1 Cliffjumper, and all of the Botshots.

TRU in Pineville, NC only had a couple Bumblebees. They did have a First Edition Bumblebee Blaster toy.

I did not pick up any of those as they didn't look that great to me. If anyone has any First Editions, I have a LOT of good stuff to trade.

Small world, I was there today myself. I didn't buy anything though, the bugling of the FE figures combined with absurd prices has quickly turned me off this line.

I feel the same way. About the only RID figure I kind of want is Soundwave. He actually looks show accurate and doesn't have any ridiculous accessories (giant guns/etc). I am hoping and praying Hasbro can work out something with US retailers to make right on the FE figures. If I get lucky, maybe someone will want to trade some FEs for some of my figs.

Hickory, Nc - Toys R Us store has the Botshot figures - 2 each of OP, BB, Barricade, and Starscream. They have one legends Bumblebee. You can go and order them from the store. Tonight I ordered Wheeljack, Soundwave, and Megatron. Paid in store, shipping to my home free. If your store doesn't have them in stock, they can get them shipped from other stores to your home. They can do it that way, by phone to other stores, or order like anyone from online. The difference being that if it is anywhere in any U.S. store they can have it shipped for free, even if it is listed as not in stock online. That's a great method to keep in mind, if ebay is to expensive and all hope looks lost. If it is there in a store physically, you can still get it, it works for everything Toys R Us carries/carried!
I just wish I had known that earlier, would have saved a lot of lost time, money and effort. The problem is they don't like to tell you they can do it. They usually just tell you they are out of stock and that's the end of it!

The Walmart in Kannapolis has the Prime RiD figures.

Anyone have the chance to spot Knock Out, Vehicon, Voyager Starscream, the whole shalooba?

No, there is no such thing as a shalooba. Just another figment of my crazed, yet genius, imagination.

In reference to Mindmaster's question - I went to Boone (Walmart & Kmart), Lenoir (Walgreens & Walmart), Granite Falls (Walmart) and to Hickory (Toys R US, Target, Walmart) all within the last two weeks and they are still getting in, or just peg warming (depending on store) the same old movie and PRID first waves. Cliffjumper, way too many Bumblebees, Optimus Prime,and Megatrons. My wife will tell me later if there was anything new @ Walmart in Lenoir tonight, but I very seriously doubt it. They run off of a computer system that only reorders when the computer shows low numbers in the system. I usually have to travel all over the place to get anything I really want due to the way everything is around here. Toys R Us in Hickory is a small store. I hardly ever find anything new there. I did do an order through them once to get some figures, which a clerk did over the phone and order from another state just to transfer to their store and then mail to me. It sucks! I'll tell you later if there is anything new here. Give me 30 to 45 minutes for her to get home.

Okay, the news....., still nothing new!!! The lady working in toys (Lenoir Walmart) said she had not had anything new Transformers related at all in well over a week. Nothing new coming in that she knows of. Surprise! Surprise!

Snagged Voyagers Megatron (Finally!) and Optimus Prime over at the Target center near Market Street (New Center Drive? I don't remember), Wilmington.

I got voyager Starscream and Bulkhead today in Concord. Still no sign of Vehicon or Knockout.

I was awaiting for news of a sighting of Starscream in NC. Thanks for being a savior! :grin:

News Credits: 3 · by **jrgreer74** » Mon May 21, 2012 6:54 pm

I also picked up Voyager Bulkhead and Starscream. I found them last night @ the Walmart in Lenoir, NC. They were stocking GI Joe stuff. They only had one box of Transformers figures. The box had Bulkhead, Starscream, Prime, and one other one. Not sure if it was another Prime or a Megatron. I do know that they only contain one BH and SS per box though. I kind of flipped out when I seen them and in my panic I didn't pay much attention to the 4th figure. It was just a shock to find them. I didn't think they would come in before Knockout, hence the total shock!

Mindmaster, check TRU on Oleander. Both Starscream and Bulkhead were there yesterday.

Wave 2 Voyagers are in pretty good saturation here in the Triangle. I've seen 3 Starscreams today between Walmart, Target, and TRU.

Anybody here into picking up Bot Shots? Looking for Wave 3.

News Credits: 3 · by **jrgreer74** » Fri May 25, 2012 3:40 pm

Haven't seen the wave 3 Bot Shots yet, or I'd be willing to help you out. I did get Cyberverse Ironhide and Dreadwing though. My wife found them at TRU in Hickory. I went to pick up Knockout at the Walmart there, but they had already sold all but one Hotshot (the blue BB repaint). She said they were the only two they had, so she grabbed them.

News Credits: 639 · by **ScottyP** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 6:54 pm

Not much going on in the Triangle. If you like DotM stuff, this is the place.

Apparently Wake Forest Target has Knockout and Hot Shot if anyone's looking.

For my fellow Wilmington collectors, if you go to that Tomlinson shop near the McDonald's by the college, they've got several DOTM figures (Crankcase, Topspin, Roadbuster, and Ratchet) and, what I was excited about, the occasional Generations figures. Skullgrin is all that's left. There was a WFC Soundwave... until I snagged it. Been looking for him for over two years, and I couldn't afford to let him slip by my fingers. Well pleased with him, can't wait for what the Voyager mold has to offer!
