Cool beans Lucius! no rush though, but i know some the PE stuff is selling out and none is being re-ordered back into stock! If you are going to order two, then i would order Rumble and Frenzy version from PE. The reason is i feel their the most accurate in size and goes very well with WFC Soundwave and the articulation is really awesome! I know their not tapes in alt mode, but its nice to see a different take on these little guys.

Also, keep all of us posted about MP Thundercracker as well!!!

Allllllllright! We got Family Dollar with $5 DOTM deluxes. WM in Steelyard Commons (Cleveland) has new BotShot 3-packs with Shockwave/Ironhide/Brawl. Also had Kreon blind packs. I think that's it... if I think of anything else, I'll post it!

Hey, just a quick update... We got new TF:P Cyberverse up here. Ironhide and Dreadwing... In Avon, I saw Ultra Magnus, Skyquake, and Blue Bulkhead. That's all the new ones, I just thought I'd let y'all know. Peace out!

This is an FYI, anyone who collects Transformers: Prime and War for Cybertron figures, please check your Meijers dept stores, they still have deluxes for $12.99 and voyagers for $19.99! Cheaper then Target and Walmarts.

Anyone signed for TFCC to get the free figures? and anyone found MP Thundercracker yet at TRU? I might be stopping today to check more into it.

later

Stockade, thanks for the heads up about the figures!

I traveled to Louisville, KY over the holiday weekend and I thought there might be better pickings down there because there isn't much activity by Kentucky collectors on this site. Nope! They had the same crappy selection of toys everywhere I stopped down there also. So I guess it isn't just Ohio that seems to be getting screwed on toy selection at the stores.

Happy Hunting!

Visited the Toys R Us in East Gate the other day. They had the MP Thundercracker shelf tag up, but no merchandise. It wasn't a total waste of time though, as I was able to pick up four of the Kreon preview wave. Ah well, maybe he ll show up sometime this weekend...

Hey Guys, i called around today after work for MP TC at TRU and no luck around the Dayton or Beavercreek area. If anyone can grab one for me, i would be gladly to pay them back and some gas money to boot for their trouble. Good hunting everyone!

Haha Stockade.

You and I both lucked out at the Eastgate store. I did the same thing, called and asked them to hold one at the customer service desk. Picked him up right around the same time as you, too. :lol:

Good luck to the rest of you guys!

It varies. Both by figure and store.

When it was Wal-Mart, it was $65-75.00 for Optimus V.1
$55-65.00 for Starscream and Skywarp.

Then it was handed over to TRU.
Grimlock: $70-80.00
Rodimus: $60-70.00
Thundercracker: $60.00(online) to $70.00(corrected online price, plus price in store.)
Optimus V.2: $100.00(already confirmed at Botcon, SDCC and in TRU's computers.)

We have no confirmation of Sideswipe, Red Alert or Soundwave receiving a US release. Sideswipe/Red Alert might not come here due to licensing from Lamborghini, but it's not impossible. Soundwave is more likely, but he'll probably carry an $80-100.00 price tag as well, unless he's modified and missing some of his accessories from the Takara version. Even if we do see releases of these figures, it won't be until next fall (2013) at the earliest possible time. More likely, it'll be closer to 2014 before we see stuff like that, if at all.

This is purely informational for those who done have TRU MP TC, the TRU by the Dayton mall will be getting a truck in this Friday, but im not sure if they will have MP TC on it. I did some checking today to help others out who dont have him yet and i wouldnt want to pay the scalper price either.
