Um.... "Trans" friends can be taken several different ways.... LOL

We're on a Transformers fan site. One would think that the way to take it would be obvious.

I read that target has a new policy that people cannot request for the employies to look in the back for a certain figure/doll and you have to wait until the stock is out. Take that Scalpers! Maybe now we can get our hands on more figures.

That is indeed a good thing. I'm definitely willing to wait a measly few more days for stuff to reach the shelves if it means scalpers can't take the rare stuff from the kids before they even know it exists.

Hey all.
Well I'm no longer aloud back at my local Target now cause a the ex-highscool friend that runs it.

Steel City Con was a blast tho, went last day and most every one was willing to wheel and deal, got a bunch of Beast Wars and Beast Machines figures to help fill out the shelf's. Biggest buys is a 100% complete Armada Megatron for $10, $100 Armada Jetfire for $15 and Armada Unicron 100% for $30 talked the guy down from $50 cause I got a few Beastwars from them to.

Did not realize it at the time but the Monroeville Mall mall also has a big toy store called Adventure Toys and sposed to have a lot of Transformers at low prices so heading out there soon as my girlfriend gets here. I'll let you guys know what I find and if its worth a trip.

Wolf out.

Sorry to hear that.

by **Stellerwolf** » Thu Aug 02, 2012 7:52 pm

Meh, thought it was funny, he actually touched and pushed me, when asking for the tapes cause I was in an area with cams they said they were lost . . . ya, sure. Oh well, only went there for transformers any ways and they always sucked, since the prices are Matching ToysRUs any ways will go there first then the other places.

Now as for Adventure Toys at the Monroeville Mall in PA . . its a nice place, it really is, but they had really nothing in Transformers, only DOTM-HA stuff, that was it, I did clear them out of all their Transformer and GI Joe Transformer crossovers tho, they had them down to $0.99 each. I'm not a big comic person, I read some online but said what the hell, I came for Transformers so I bought what I could. The ToysRUS, Super K-Mart, Target & Wall-Mart all sucked, had nothing at all good but Target did have all the World of Warcraft Megabloks sets so I get all four of the small packs and then all 4 $12 mount sets. Sides that it was a bust so will wait for the next Steel City Con in Dec to get more Transformers, I think I might be done for a bit till then and just save up.

Also if any one else is planing on going in DEc its form the 7th to the 9th so let me know, see if we can meet up and lest say "Hi" or some thing. If any one know any other toy shows or cons in Ohio please let me know, I'm just starting into them, that was my 2nd one, my first large one.

Wolf Out.

Lucky. I checked two freaking walmarts and they had freaking BB's. It doesnt look like hasbro has made any FOC BB figures :DANCE:

Going out to bellbrook and Checking walmart and target there.....NO ONE BEAT ME THERE....If you do leave me a FOC :lol:

No seriously, dont beat me there. :sad:

Got Optimus Maximus at the West Broad Street Target in Columbus. 2 left when I got him.

He's a lot bigger than I expected, which is nice. Decent Cyberverse base options with him IMO. Too bad he don't come with an Optimus Prime figure though, if I didn't already have one he'd be pilotless.

by **Ironhide/Starscream** » Sat Aug 04, 2012 10:41 pm

Thanks to whoever left me a FOC Jazz. He is cool

. That bellbrook had a Jazz and some BB's...... I also picked up TMNT Michelangelo.

by **Lucius Prime** » Tue Aug 07, 2012 11:03 pm

Any signs of the Kreon Microchangers or blind packs? I've seen the newest sets at TRU, but still none of the ones I'm actually looking for... of course. And, I'm heading back out Thursday, so you can expect new updates from me. That's all for now really, but I just wanted to check in.

by **Doubledealer93** » Wed Aug 08, 2012 12:05 pm

not a damn thing in ravenna. my walmart has had the same poopy stock of TF for 5 months and counting.

by **Lucius Prime** » Sat Aug 11, 2012 9:08 pm

Back from my normal hunting rounds. Found the new BotShots Battle for the Matrix combo pack at TRU in Elyria. WM in Avon had the new wave of BotShot singles. Picked up a Jazz, Ironhide, and Starscream. Next up is Powerglide(which I saw) and Shockwave (which I didn't). Also saw the new smaller Kre-O sets. Plenty of Optimus Maximus at KMart in Lorain, but I don't need that one, just sharing. THat's all from me til I stretch a little further out.

Hey Guys! I'm back and in full swing of things! I took a small hiatus from Transformers Dotm and Transformers: prime lines, didnt really care for those lines and having limited space for what i really want as well. Well, im ready for FoC and I'm guessing hasbro is continuing on with the Generations line as well. I've been in the dark for awhile and if anyone can provide any updates or send me links to whats new coming that would be great!
Also, is Autobot Hot Spot (repaint of Inferno) coming out this year or is that a rumor? Please someone fill me in and tells me what available out these and ill do the same for everyone else.

Nice to be back!

by **Ironhide/Starscream** » Mon Aug 13, 2012 2:21 pm

the asia exclusives are not asia exclusives anymore. all but brawn will be toys r us exclusives and these will be released with the TF:prime first editions. so if you dont feel like paying 40+ bucks for a FE vehicon this november will be your chance.
oh and i did notice that at my walmart they got rid of everything DOTM. they are not in the clearance section either

Finally starting to see new items appearing in Walmarts around my area. I'm still on the fence about FOC Shockwave, though--what are everyone's thoughts on them?

Also--unrelated to TF's, but if anyone sees the new wave of Marvel Legends start to appear, give me a holler. Peace!

News Credits: 2 · by **Stockade** » Thu Aug 16, 2012 7:05 pm

I'll probably get FOC Shockwave and maybe Prime even though he is kinda small, but im really holding out on is Hot Spot and others in his line up! Hot Spot is one of my favs as a kid and using Inferno's mold as Hot Spot was bound to happen and cant wait for the others as well. I guess from now until Christmas ill be hunting again.

And whats up Doc? wasn't for sure if you was still collecting TF's or not.

i about **** a brick yesterday when i saw something other than bumblebee in target in cuyahoga falls. they had a knockout, 2 hotshots, a ratchet and 2 bumblebees. i have them all and that bumblebee has no place in my collection.
