Yeah, its cool. Thanks.

Didn't find anything in the stores this weekend, though. Walgreens had one Jazz, but that was the newest figure this side of town.

You know, I had no idea there was this many Transformer fans in the area.
Why couldn't I have know you guys in school? (well I didn't go to your school, obviously, but still...)
Have you ever heard of Genoa? That's were I went to school. I think I was the only Transformer fan...

Lol--I know where Genoa is. Haven't been there in a while, but I'm familiar with it.

There's a healthy stretch of Transfans along the 75 corridor, I'm finding. Sooner or later, we should arrange a meetup or something along those lines.

Found a Kup at the ToysRUs in Miamisburg and found one Kup and one Scourge at Wal-Mart in Moraine. Picked up the Scourge for my Armada, have the United version on the way. Looks like things are slowly coming in.

Grabbed the Kup at TRU along with a clearance ROTF Bludgeon. Didn't know TRU's prices were so high though, the Bludgeon ended up cheaper than Kup. Hopefully all of this clearance will make room for new Generations and RTS toys and not just DOTM stuff.

I know where Genoa is and yes, we should have a meetup in the future. That will be awesome. Also, I'm actually doing a Transformers panel up at Owens Community College for Glass City Con (just waiting for the person in-charge to setup the time). It won't be as awesome as the one that I do at Ohayocon in Columbus, but it'll still be fun.

haha! i actually took transformers and the digivolving digimon to school in my backpack just to screw around with when there was nothing to do. i even got a few of my friends in on it. now just to clarify i wasn't your average person in school. i was friends or acquaintances with alot of people of various groups in school and was one of those i am who i am and i don't care what anyone thinks of me type of person. it worked out well for me. not to say i still didn't get weird looks when i popped out some transformers though.
i also dressed kinda goth so maybe some of them were too afraid to say anything? my school didn't see entirely too much of that.
and i did get voted most unique in my class too soooo.....

Well guys went out hunting this weekend and came up empty handed and nothing new out there. Unless your into GI Joe and they have some awesome stuff coming out summer/fall era this year! Still no wreck gar or perceptor.

Checked the K-mart in Maulmee today, it was pretty sad. Didn't get to the Toy r us across the street from it though... had to go to the doctors... (sorry it took me so long to post someting, any one else having trouble with the site?)

Yeah a meetup would be cool Any time I approch someone about being a fan, they just run away from me.

Do you have any idea about when you'll be at Owens? Good luck with dealing with them by the way, they are not very nice people, at least not in my experience.

Yeah, I used to take TFs to school too. I remember carrying a little Bumblebe around in my backpack, but I would hide it so no one thought I was weird. Everyone was so stuck up. TFs got me through some tough times...

Hey are any of you guys sure I haven't met you already? Maybe commented you on a Transformers t-shirt you were wearing or something?

Sorry about the double post everyone. Like I said, I'm having problems with the site. I don't know if its just me (my computer was just completley wiped clean;; virus).
Please understand.

Thanks to my friend Jenus, he got a case of Transformers goodness from BBTS and i got Wheeljack, Tcracker and warpath! all are soooo awesome! no loose joints no mistakes, no anything! i have to say that hasbro got it together this time.

Went to Target today...
CLEARANCE TIME!

Well, it was mostly junk, but it was a good sign to me!
Just a little over two weeks until the new line arrives.

Target on feedwire has 1 Kup left and that was around 9:00p today and took the last Scourge. Also they have the Black Shadow SideSwipe for $23.00 which isnt bad, and i like the colors on SS, but i hate his bot mode!!

Still look for RTS Wreck-Gar and Perceptor, but have a feeling that RTS line is dead and never will see them....EVER!

It is. After 05/16 it is all DOTM going forward. anyone who isn't stalking RTS will not going forward. Pay the ebay price now before it triples!! I myself have all deluxes and scout Chopsaw is on the way to my home, but I still want Lugnut, Grappel, and Windcharger. Lugnut has a preorder on HTS so he might be easy to get off there in a month, but the other two might have to be premium buys off of ebay.

Picked up RTS Tracks tonight at the Kohls in Huber Heights, OH. They had at least two more. Though he seemed to be the only RTS figure present. The rest were tuner skids, skullgrins, Sidearm Sideswipes, and WFC toys. Deluxes are on clearance for 10 something.

Your right about this, but im also hearing that RTS line will be re-package in the DOTM line to help it sell better, since the movie line toys is Hasbro and the retailers bread and butter, so ill guess ill wait it out and see what happens.

I hope that is true as I am upset we totally got screwed on Rumble and Frenzy. Hasbro needs to get a clue and understand the fans want Scout class figures of most of the G1 minibots and cassette bots. Rumble, Frenzy, Windcharger, and Huffer were a nice start, but we still need Brawn, Gears, Lazerbeak, Beachcomber, and maybe even a Buzzsaw at least. I don't mind Bumblebee and Cliffjumper being small deluxe figures, but they would be nice to have as scouts as well. As for the rest of the s2 minibots I never thought it was plausible to make Warpath, Seaspray, Cosmos, and Powerglide minibots. Just look at thier vehicle modes. I like Warpath as a deluxe and Seaspray and Powerglide worked as Voyager/Ultra size figures as these were more plausible incarnations than the G1 minibots. Cosmos needs remade at least into a deluxe figure.

I really hope we see more scout class figures!

I hit 2 Krogers in my area yesterday and a couple comic book shops as well and coming up empty handed for Perceptor and Wreck-gar.

Shelf and peg tags for DOTM toys are up at the Meijer stores in Lima and Findlay, but neither location has given any indication of when the stuff will actually arrive (I spoke to both stores this morning). Kind of hoping that the Lima store might sell stuff early--they did last time with ROTF.

Hey Doc, i would try Target! everyone on Seibertron and TFW2005 is having awesome luck pulling the new DOTM line from the back, but u have to have the DPCI numbers when you speak the employee. I know im going Sunday to pick up Shockwave and Megatron from Target and plus a good friend works there.

Heres a link for the numbers

Don't waste your time. They've locked down their system.
I bought Roadbuster at the store in Niles (near Youngstown) and wanted to go to the Boardman store, and they refused me the sale of Voyagers.

They received a memo Monday telling all stores to pull them, and that a register lockout will be activated no later than this morning at opening.

You can't even do a DPCI search anymore. The PDAs have no access. You're stuck waiting until the 16th now.

Hey Guys,

I stopped by the Walmart on Miller Lane at lunch today. I found a Scourge and numerous early wave generations and RTS toys. No sign of the upcoming line.

The Target on Feedwire currently has a Kup. Also the entire RTS line and PCC 2-packs are on clearance.

I was at the Target at Perrysburg and Toys R Us at Maumee today. No new Transformers toys but they do have a lot of Blurr, Cliffjumper, Skullgrin, Thunderwing, and the duo pack of Hot Rod/Cyclonus.
