08 Bumblebee, Arcee, Dreadwing, Final Battle Jazz and lots of other deluxes and voyagers spotted in Mayfield Heights, Ohio at TRU. I put a similar post into the sightings section. They looked liked they had just stocked right before I got there at noon today. All other Targets and Walmarts in the area are still wiped out.

This is kinda silly question, but do toys tend to cascade across the country West to East on release?

Looked in my TRU today (well, one of them). No new movie stuff, just Protoform SS. Same with Target, but they had Wreckage instead. Wal*Mart was the same, except they had voyager Ironhide Ratchet, and Starscream.

Looking at all the sightings on these boards, it looks to be more East to West. I don't think anyone in California's seen much of anything.

That's true. There is nothing here. I called toysrus and they claim tomorrow might be the day. Thank goodness I can be there somewhat early. :grin:

All the pegs for TF figures are empty at stores in my city. Only a bunch of Rachets, Real Gear figures and some of those Slammin Whatever figures are left.

I found a Voyager Megatron at a walmart yesterday night. No deluxes, but there's the weekend to look forward too.

by **AlienQuiksilver** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 3:40 am

Nothing much around me either. (Eastern PA/Western NJ.) 1 of the 4 WM's I visit had some Voyager Starscream, ratchet, ironhide and blackouts. Not much else but the unleashed stuff, replicas ... and real gear. Helmets, too of course.

SONUVABITCH! MOTHERF*CKER!

Hermitage PA Wal-Mart got in the Bumblebee, FBJazz, Payload, Longarm assortment tonight, and I friggin' missed both Bumblebees...AGAIN...BY A FRIGGIN' HOUR!

(I bought Jazz and Payload. Longarm was gone as well. Reviews to come.)

I get to the register and the woman said "Wow. That's three of you tonight. I'll bet you're happy to see new stuff." I aid yes, but that someone else beat me to the one I wanted. She said "Oh...that wouldn't happen to be the orange thing with black stripes would it? One collector came in here and bought both. His friend wasn't happy that he wouldn't let him have one, they were fighting at the register."

WTF man? Selfish bastard! Whoever you are (in the Hermitage, Greenville, Sharon PA area) F*CK YOU HARD! YOU SELFISH BASTARD!

It's not fair to his friend, or me for people like him to buy both when one will do for right now. Piece of sh*t bastard.

Grrr... >_<

Anyway, here's the full sighting...

Date: 08/11/07
Time: 03:49 AM
Store(s): Wal-Mart Supercenter
City: Hermitage
State/Province: PA
Country: USA

Notes: '08 Bumblebee (missed both, due to one sonovabitch hoarding them for his own selfish, stupid ass.), Payload, Final Battle Jazz, and Longarm. (Arcee and Dreadwing remain.)

Grrr...I'd bitch slap him hard, if I could just find him.

targets in new york got in ultimate bumble bees as of 8/9. the first target i went to got 2 in i got the last one. than last night i stopped in another and they had 3 on the shelf.

than i went to toy r us 5 mins before they closed, there were getting ready for the over night stock since boxes were all over the place. they had voyager primes and megatrons on the shelf, i took two primes.

there were boxes ready to get unpacked, i saw real gear, voyager class, deluxe, and cyber stomping boxes, but they wouldnt let me open them. so ill be heading there in 2 hours when they open to see what they unpacked, and hopefully nab as many 08 bumble bees as i can if they have any.

We seem to get our deliveries out here on Tuesday for Wednessday moring, and Thursday for Friday Morning. I'm down near KOP and West Chester, and I always see the new stuff then.

Aww, don't tell me that. KOP is only 30 to 40 min drive from me. I don't need to know the schedules elsewhere, haha. I'm from the Bensalem area. There's 1 Target here that gets new stuff on Mondays at least. TRU near my work in Jersey has been around Weds, but the drought has me all kinds of confused right now.

Is she sure that they were friends? That doesn't sound like a friend to me. If he was my friend he'd get a hard right cross for even thinking about taking both of them. :BLACKEYE:

I'm still seeing nothing around here.

::EDIT:: Just wanted to add that the stores have all reset, but have all failed to stock or receive anything new TF-wise.

by **redsaleen** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 11:25 am

NO BUMBLEE BEES, actually no deluxe class figures at all.

they had voyager class starscreams and ironhides up in top stock not even on the shelfs.

picked up 2 more prime voyagers.

they also had a case of cybertron primes, but i didnt touch those, and a cybertron soundwave.

so pretty much no stores on longisland have any delexe figures out on the shelves.

If it helps any, the 2 Targets, TRU, Walmart and K-Mart near Horsham/Willow Grove are on the same schedule.

Target around here(upstate NY) is a joke. Nothing new but Ult. BB. No Deluxes, no voyagers nothing.....Same with TRU'S thouht they would restock after thrus find but nothing today.

But KB toys have all new stock and I pick up a few deluxes.

by **ultra tron** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 12:36 pm

I honestly think that the Toys r us (chicago--bedford-cicero) is the only one that doesn't carry deluxe figures...

As for Target, i don't know when to come Aparently the southern side of Chi is too scary for mister big hasbro to get shipments out. LOL

However In my quest is managed to get Ratchet, Blackout(not worth the wait), and ...Jazz!!!!

Got jazz from Khols.. the lady at the register gave me a break and I only paid $10!

Soooooo...the only one I now need is 08 Bumblebee, which I have never seen in person at all...

does Target even get Bumblebee 08, and is sunday morning a good time to go?

Oh yeah, she knows. Plus I saw them on June 2nd together picking through the cases. Hell they fought over Ironhide (mind you there was one more case of them...)

Did anyone ever post a DPCI for 08 BB? A quick search turned up nada.

i'm around norristown and i've been to literally every target,wal-mart,tru,kb, and every other store within like 20 miles and it's been totally empty for weeks and as you know, we have a lot of those stores around here. this area is getting screwed so far.

There is no specific DPCI for the 08 bb because he is just a figure in deluxe class, they are all coded the same. That delux dpci has been posted in a couple threads.

i went to TRU this morning, and a group of people gathered outside before it opened, and when they let us in everyone was walking but some guy took of running, so everyone took off towards the transformer section, i got there first and they had no movie figures, i did get the last classics optimus prime and a jetfire, but that guy that took of running first had a back pack, and when he got there he already had it open ready to fill it up, when he saw nothing he starting cussing and getting mad, it was kinda funny, especially since i thought he might have been a scalper.

by **decepticonjon** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 7:07 pm

got voyager megs.. only new things i've seen out

by **cuadraulic** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 7:07 pm

Went to TRU and there was a big line in front. Some employees stood by the door laughing at us for a minute before they opened up. I was second in..... but the guy in front of me got to them first and picked them all up. 08 BB, Arcee etc.

Asshole. :MAD:
