Hey man, Is Mp Roddy worth the money? I heard he is crap compared to MP Grimlock. Give me some details about him, when you can.

To anyone that reads this post, I really need RTS Grapple and Windcharger, for anyone that can help out, thank you.

Oh yeah, TJM by the dayton mall has 1 LC Battle Hooks Prime and 1 LC SS for $24.99 each and they did have ROTF Swerve and Lockdown for $6.00 each which i got them cause i never saw Swerve in my area and Lockdown was snatched up by everyone when i did want him.

Wed Aug 10, 2011 9:16 am

I still have not opened it yet. I plan to at some point...

I never found a Grimlock. I really want one too, so if you know where i might find one please let me know. EBay prices are outrageous.

Stopped by TJM by Fairfield Commons Mall yesterday and they have 3 LC Starscreams for $24.99 each! and not a damn thing else.

Sorry for second post, but i wanted to let everyone what im looking for and if they can help me out and that is:

Space Case
LC Ironhide
RTS Grapple
RTS Wind Charger
Nitro BB
Walmart Exclusive blue sideswipe

Thu Aug 11, 2011 9:24 am

Hey, Stock... I'm really sorry that I'm so far away! We got Nitro Bumbles, Blue Sideswipe, and Leader Ironhide up here. Really! The others, I'm looking for as well. Marshall's has the same deals of figures. BB Optimus $24.99, deluxe Swerve and about 6 Tuner Mudflaps for $6. Just in case y'all are looking for Sea Attack Ravage, WM up here has about 20 of 'em. I wish they were free already cause that's the only way they're gonna get rid of them.
As far as MP Hot Rod... He is AWESOME! He looks just like he's supposed to. In both modes. He comes with 2 Matrices. One tiny one that goes in his spark chamber and another bigger one that slides slightly so you can "unleash the power of the Matrix" Also comes with a detatchable welder and saw that can go in either hand. also two massive guns that combine into a bad-@$$ sniper rifle (of sorts). And... he's also a targetmaster like the original Hot Rod and comes with his little buddy that converts from midgetcon to either hand-held or engine-mount double barrel @$$ blaster. The ONLY thing that I can complain about is that he is a little complicated til you get used to his transformation, and HE DOESN'T HAVE HIS FRIKIN TRAILER!!! GOD!!!!!!!! Other than that, if you got the spare $60 and your kid won't go without diapers or the dog won't starve... Totally pick him up... K, I'm done... See ya!

Hey Lucius, thanks for the update and yeah i wish you was closer so you can help me out and my walmarts has sea attack ravages out the wazoo and about 6 Jetblades as well. And about MP Roddy thanks for the info and does he feel like cheap plastic or is he like MP Grimlock? If he is more like Grimmy than ill consider him, but if he feels cheap then ill pass. Now im done.

Sun Aug 14, 2011 6:08 pm

Hey, hey, hey! About Hot Rod's plastic density. He's not as heavy as Grimlock, and Skywarp feels lighter to me. He's in the middle, but he definately feels pretty dense. He's got weight, but not too heavy like he's gonna fall over. He's just awesome dude. Like I said. Don't run yourself out of money on him. But if the $60 is spare, you won't regret picking him up.
Stock, I got some good news and bad news. The good news: I went to Marshall's in Elyria and found RTS Grapple and Lugnut for $10 a piece. The bad news: I bought them both. If you have stuff you wanna trade, let me know.
And I'm looking for Grimstone. I want him, I need him. If ANY of you see him, please please tell me. Lima, Akron, Dayton, Canton, Colombus... I don't care. If he's there, I want him.

Lima's TRU had two MP Rodimus Primes sitting on the shelf as of 6 pm this evening. Looked cool--but I'm still gonna get the Japanese version instead. It sounds kind of petty, but I'm not a big fan of the US version's color scheme.

There are several Leader Class Ironhides at the Kmart next to the Microcenter on Bethel road in Columbus, this was on the 13th but I am sure they probably aren't flying of their shelves.

What are you looking for to trade RTS Grapple Lucius? The only thing i can think of for now i have to trade is a MISB Warpath. Let me know.

Wed Aug 17, 2011 7:36 pm

Navarre Ave/Rt 2 stores in Oregon, OH

Ultimate OP $65 @ Wal*Mart, K-Mart full price. K-Mart had one HA Roadbuster 'til I bought it, old version with wrong numbers but this NASCAR fan can fix that. K-Mart also had HA Sideswipe with snowmobile. Rest of pegs filled with all the older releases.

Hey! Was lucky enough to find one Gen. Wheeljack a week or so ago at the Rome Hilliard Rd. Target--sitting there with a Gen. Thundercracker...and that's it. Pretty slim pickings around here. Like Stockade, I'm interested in RTS Grapple and Windcharger...and STILL that frickin' Wreckgar or Perceptor, who I've NEVER seen around the entire west side of Columbus! What gives?

Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:38 am

The same up here, Buyer... I went to Tennessee to get Wheeljack and Warpath. Now I've seen some Warpaths up here. Target in Elyria's got a couple HA Roadbusters. Nothing else new.
Rasta: I know exactly what you mean about MP Rodimus prime. I got the Hasbro version and then watched Peaugh's review or Takara MP. There's a world of difference! Everything down to the Gold/Chrome Matrix and the Chrome rims and the, oh I don't know... TRAILER?! I just don't have the 200 Galleons to drop for it... Otherwise I would.
Stock: I already got a Warpath... I'm sorry. He's not MISB. Nothin else, huh? Hey, I'll take another look and if he's there, I'll pick him up for you! Really, I will...

News Credits: 2 · Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:52 am

I'm probably going to make a play for Takara's MP Roddy, LP, hopefully before the end of the year. Since they're re-releasing him with the alleged flaws fixed from the first production run, I'm curious to see what effect on price that'll have on the first editions of him. BBTS is currently selling their original MP Roddys for $149, but the preorders for the second run are at $200...$150 bones for an MP isn't terrible, perhaps...

Sorry for the late post, but yesterday at 5:00pm at Target by the Dayton mall, they have 2 Wheeljack and 1 Warpath and soon im returning my Warpath since he is showing up more than usual.

Mon Aug 22, 2011 6:33 pm

Toledo Targets on Monroe St. and Alexis Rd. have HA Leadfoot; just make sure you give them DCPI 087-06-1666 so they can pull it outta stockroom

Thanks for the number! Now I can bug the Targets to death up here so they go back and get him! LOL
I checked the Marshall's up here and as of now, there's no more Grapples. There are plenty of HFTD HA Bumblebee, ROTF Deluxes, two RTS Legend Prowl, and there's also a DeepDive. Kohl's was RTS Deluxe heaven. The only one they didn't seem to have? Wreck-Gar... of course. The nice dude working the aisles even went upstairs and checked the boxes to see if he was there, but nada. I'll do some more checking and I'll be sure to post!

Has anyone seen Mindset at TJM or Marshalls? since the DOTM figures i want are not showing up fast anough, i thought i would pick up some cheapos i missed!

Wed Aug 24, 2011 8:31 pm

I'm down near Cincy, has anyone seen a HA Leadfoot? I haven't seen him at any Targets yet.

Hey Prime Fan, the reason HA Leadfoot isn't showing up is because everyone in the world has got the DPCI for him and fans approaching Target employees and they are pulling him out of the back stockroom.

Fri Aug 26, 2011 1:01 pm

If anyone doesn't have a DOTM voyager OP, go to Wal*Mart on Navarre Ave./Rt 2 in Oregon, they have shelves full of him. You can also get your early waves and exclusives there too. Ult OP in stock!
