Great meet up today guys. Thanks for a great time!
Maybe next time we should ask for a table right next to a screaming brithday party. Oh wait, that was today.
But really, its always nice to have the opportunity to talk about the hobby with like-minded people.
Thanks again.

I have about an hour and a half trip. I don't mind that drive when I get to "geek out" for a few hours with you guys. None of my other friends collect, so it is nice to get that time in.

Alright people, let's get some Generations sightings up! Nothing in Exton so far this week, I will check again today or tomorrow after work.

News Credits: 5 · Fri Jul 02, 2010 9:47 am

I knew I should have went yesterday!

Just left Exton TRU and the following items are still there:

Generations WFC Prime (just one, and nothing else. Had the lady check and no more in the building, looks like they only got one case so far) with a roughed up card.

HFTD:
Seaspray (box was damaged, figure was fine)
Ratchet
Payload
Leader Prime
Leader Starscream
Legends Ravage
Legends Prime
Deluxe Sea Attack Ravage
Deluxe Dirge
Deluxe Blades BB

TFA Arcee (more in the storage over the tops of the pegs.

New Generations packaging gravity bots

I actuall didnt' buy anything, all I wanted was Generations Deluxes, and it didn't make sense to buy one while the sale is going on.

As I said to CP, NEPA is a barren wasteland of Tuner Mudflaps and Defender Primes.

Wow, the Wilkes-Barre Toys'R'Us was actually pretty loaded. I stopped twice today and they actually had more out the second time.

I picked up the HTFD Voyagers, Deluxes, and Legends, the PCC Commanders, and WFC Prime and BB. No Drift or Thrust left :-(

There was one full set of HTFD Deluxes, 2 Seasprays, 1 Night Ops Ratchet, one full set of legends, 4 Battle Hooks Primes, 4 Leader Starscreams, and about 20 of each PCC Commander.

No PCC 5 Packs and no HTFD Scouts.

I ended up getting everything at Buy 1 Get 1 50% off too. I've got the leaders coming from TRU.com so I didn't bother.

Wyomissing TRU had the PCC 2 packs last time I was there... still no Generations, which was disappointing. Also, are there any Reading based collecters out there?

I think everyone's mostly concentrated near Philly. There are some collectors, like Geekee1, that are out towards Pittsburg, and a very few, like me, that are up North in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area.

The new Target on Route 29 in Malvern is loaded with HFTD Scouts, Deluxes Leaders, Legends and Voyagers, and had about 20 each of Generations Prime and BB. They had One Drift when I left (cause I took one) and an employee snagged me a Thrust from the back.

That was last night at about 9:30. the "Grand Opening" is Friday, so I would go today!

When I was paying the cashier asked if I was a collector too, since some guy had just came through earlier yesterday evening and "had tons of these two" holding up Drift and Thrust as well as a bunch of other toys.

So I managed to get what I wanted after the scalpers, but that's how it works sometimes.

EDIT: Exton TRU was also stocked with HFTD Deluxes, Voyagers, Leaders and PCC 2 and 5 packs, but no Generations.

Grrrrrrrrr!! Hearing that there are no Drifts makes me angry. He's the only one I want. Kinda puts me in a really bad mood now. I would punched that guy in his gut if I saw him. And yes, I really would!!

I'll keep an eye out, and will pick up a second if I see it. I'm sure they will be all over soon, all the resets are pretty much set up, all the stores in Exton are clearancing out all the RotF stuff.

The Lionville/Exton/Eagleview Target is in the middle of the re-set, they had HFTD Legends, Deluxes, Leaders, HA, Activators and PCC's, both 5 and 2 packs. No generations or HFTD Scouts yet, no boxes on the floor yet either.

News Credits: 609 · Wed Aug 04, 2010 10:50 am

Were those the Wave 2 PCCs or just Wave 1 still?

Wed Aug 04, 2010 2:07 pm

well, at least exton isn't that far for me... like 45 minutes. I was actually just out towards pittsburg last week and I got their last Generations Prime. Of note, though, they did have Generations BB.

Wed Aug 04, 2010 4:46 pm

Hey guys, I work at target in Quakertown, and we have 6x Drifts, 2x WOC BB's, 1x WOC Optimus, 1x thrust and some power core combiners

News Credits: 5 · Tue Aug 10, 2010 11:11 am

Exton TRU has one each HFTD Banzitron and Optimus Prime, along with some of the singe packs of Speed Stars. Tons of PCC 5 packs (still only wave 1), some leaders and a couple of Generations (2 Prime 1BB)

Exton Walmart has half an endcap at the end of the girls toys isle packed with at least a dozen each Generations and HTFD Deluxe, along with several pegs full in the action figure isle. PCC wave 1, HFTD scouts, voyagers and a couple of the Bombing run packs (2BB, 1 of the other).

The Wilkes-Barre Wal-Mart reset. They have the two deluxe/legend two packs, a few Generations, and ton of HFTD. The Pittston Wal-Mart reset, but the new sections are barren. There are still regular ROTF cards and boxes hanging on HFTD pegs.

Wilkes-Barre TRU and Target still have a good selection of Wave 1 everything, but nothing Wave 2 yet at all. I want some Wave 2 PCC love. I'm going to hopefully hit a Family Dollar or two tonight looking for the new Minicons.

Woah! That was unexpected! I haven't even been looking at the Animated section lately. I was there looking for new HFTD or Generations figures. The Animated section has been nothing but Cybertron Ratchet for weeks (months?) other than Arcee's brief appearance.

Here's the crappy part: It was $14.99! WTF?

Oh, BTW, it was the TRU in Fairless Hills/Langhorne PA. If you happen to live in the area, they had about four or five of them. They also have a few Animated IRONHIDES.

News Credits: 1235 · Thu Sep 02, 2010 8:56 pm

They were 12.99 at my TRU but that is the crappy thing about exclusives, they charge more because they can.

News Credits: 3 · Thu Sep 02, 2010 11:57 pm

They raised the price to 14.99 here this week, too. Last week they were 12.99. TRU sucks...

News Credits: 668 · Fri Sep 03, 2010 12:08 am

Great. The price is raising, even in store. >_<

Fri Sep 03, 2010 1:03 am

TRU seems to kinda suck most of the time. Though every other chain has their own crappy issues as well. Thankfully, I have no need for Mr. Roddy.

*sigh* I still haven't seen these guys ANYWHERE in my area. They have cybertronian rachet, and considered picking him up, but I think its about time i retired my maniacal search to complete the animated collection and move on to newer more obtainable lines...
