I hit the Carlisle Pike/ Camp Hill Walmart, Target, and TRU last night.

Target had both the Springer/Ratbat two pack and the Roadbuster/Dirge two pack. They also had one Leader Ultra Magnus. They also had a bunch of the 25th Primes.

Walmart had nothing new.

TRU had 3 of the Titanium Grimlocks and a bunch of Ultra Magnus. Otherwise, it was pretty picked over as well.

Oh yeah, Target also had the Prime and Megatron movie screen battles packs.

Even when I do travel and don't find anything, I still have fun and make a day of it.

This weekend it'll either be Harrisburg (but after your lack of luck, probably not ) or York. Either one is a fun day-trip.

I may have to try this mythical Exton that occasionally gets lots of goodies sometime.

Right off the Downingtown exit of the PA turnpike :grin:

. The Boscovs and KB are in a nice mall, Exton Square. I do a lot of "hunting" in Exton, as I drive throught it to get to work everyday, so it takes all of 5 extra minutes to stop into any one of the stores.

Grove City Wal-Mart

Exton Walmart had one animated Skywarp and one Shockwave on Saturday morning, but they were gone Sunday evening. At least they are in the area now!

Walmart in south Philly has skywarp, and had shockwave (Mine :grin:

) So they are in the area now. Target in Philly continues to not have ANY deluxes (Universe, Movie, or Animated) for about 3 weeks now...

Two Leader Class TFA Ultra Magnus at Exton TRU as of 2 p.m. thursday.

News Credits: 5 · Mon Dec 22, 2008 5:54 pm

I hit the Exton TRU this morning, and they had one Universe Deluxe Cheetor, although none of his wave-mates were present.

So they are in the area!

Sat Dec 27, 2008 4:11 pm

Between two local Wal Marts, found Universe Cyclonus and Cheetor, plus TF:A Blazing Lockdown. I'd have preferred to find Blurr, but hey, it'll happen eventually.

Also snagged three TF Universe Finger Boards (mini skateboards). They're pretty nice little things with IDW artwork.

News Credits: 5 · Tue Dec 30, 2008 6:18 pm

Exton Target had one each Cyclonus, Hound, Screamer and Cheetor. I passed on Cyclonus as he had a couple of obvious bad paint apps, and I didn't have the capital to pick up Hound :sad:

Payday is Friday, then the hunt is on!!!

Wed Dec 31, 2008 10:58 pm

Picked up Blurr X2 and Swindle at the local Wal Mart. Kind of a fluke stopping there, but it payed off. NO Universe figures whatsoever, though.

Along the same lines as --B--, next week is pay week with tons of overtime, which means the hunt for Hound/Ravage and Starscream is ON. May even splurge on some others I've passed on in the past, like Onslaught and the Ratbat two-pack.

I passed on that Springer Ratbat 2 pack a few times, but I've found Ratbat to be one of my favorites that I bought for the boys for Christmas. I love the mold and have Sideways, but it is really nice. I don't care for the Springer, but it was almost worth it just for Ratbat. And Onslaught is pure win.

I was out looking this weekend and found some stuff. The Target in Harrisburg had Universe Cheetor, Starscream, Cyclonus, and Hound. The Camp Hill TRU had one Hound, Beachcomber, Bumblebee, and Brawn.

This is the first I have seen any of the new Universe stuff. None of the local stores had the new Animated stuff.

News Credits: 12 · Sat Jan 17, 2009 12:58 pm

I was at Target in Langhorne this morning, and they had Animated Swindle and Blurr, and Universe Dinobot and Smokescreen. (They also had Hound, Cyclonus, Cheetor, Starscream, and Blazing Lockdown.)

Also, the Animated Deluxes were all $7.79, and the Universe Deluxes were all $8.99. The local Walmart recently raised the price of Deluxes back up to $9.99.

Found Universe Cyclonus, Hound, Screamer, Cheetor, Smokescreen and Dinobot, at Exton Target yesterday, no sign of any new TFA.

Fri Jan 23, 2009 8:08 pm

he guys hit ALTOONA the TRU has BLURR and tons upon tons of stuff and target has ULTRA MAGNUS but walmart has been pretty lame around here though

Tue Jan 27, 2009 9:07 am

Pottstown Walmart had 2 Ultra Magnus on back side wall. New Walmart in King of Prussia had 1 Blurr and at least 5 Swindle yesterday at 5pm. Target in Royersford had a few Cyclonus, Cheetor and Starscream and 1 Smokescreen this past Saturday. Almost any store now I go to has an Ultra Magnus. Guess with the economy they aren't selling on ebay so people are returning them. Also see Cheetor in all stores.

I picked up Animated Wreck-gar at the Exton Target this morning, one more left on the shelf.

and the Exton Walmart had Universe Voyager Dropshot on clearance for $10.00, had about a dozen of him. They had Blades and Treadbolt as well, but they were not part of the clearance, just Dropshot.

Fri Feb 06, 2009 5:54 pm

Target here finally started re-stocking TF's. They had two Roadbuster Ultra Magnus', some deluxes and Classics (newest wave).

No Universe Voyagers or WrekGar.

Hit a WalMart north from here and saw many TF:A Blurr, Swindle, etc. Also multiples of the latest Universe wave.
Once again, no WrekGar, Lio Prime or new Legends. Those are about all I'm really looking for at the moment.

Did happen to score movie Incinerator for $11 on clearance at WM. Eh, why not.

Also, if anyone wants those Universe fingerboards, WM's been stocking them with the silly cheap toys (noise makers, keychains, bouncyballs, etc.). No where near the TF's or even skate toys. Odd. Got all six for the heck of it.

My Walmat has them with the TF's, but they haven't stocked any TF's since December, it's just the same stuff sitting on the shelf, nothing else.

Picked up legends Cosmos and Wheelie at the Exton Wal-Mart this morning, there was no Rodimus, and I left Warpath, so he was there at 845ish.

Just gotta find Roddy!

Anyone seen Universe Inferno in the Chester/Delaware county area?

Everyplace around here has had the same Treadbolt/Blades/Dropshots sitting on the shelf for the last 2 months, and aren't re-stocking with new figures.

Sun Mar 22, 2009 8:04 pm

actually there was one inferno out by pittston early this morning. my friends *late* birthday present now

News Credits: 5 · Wed Mar 25, 2009 1:27 pm

The new Lionville/Exton/Uwcland Target has a bunch of the animated packs with Shockwave/BB and Sunstorm/Ratchet.

Still no Inferno in Exton, which is annoying.
