Walmart in Mechanicsburg had almost nothing besides the same Scouts, PCCs and HFTD figures they have had. No generations aside from one Blurr and one Red alert. The rest of the Generations and RTS pegs were empty. No Voyagers, and maybe 1 0r 2 Human Alliance Sideswipes.
on the other hand TRUs shelves are packed to the brim with RotF merch and whatever Classics/Universe they havent sold off yet.
Target had 2 BiS sets priced at 19.99. No new Gen or RTS aside from Wave 1, plenty of the current PCCs and Scouts. and 0 Voyagers.
Kohls dept stores have a plethora of the RTS Wave 1 figs and when I say Plethora I mean they have more than enough to go around. if they arent on the floor then ask an associate to check in the back. Dont forget . . . YOUR THE CUSTOMER!
on a side note. . .
While in Ohio this past week I visited a Meijers and they had RotF Voyager Ironhide, Optimus Prime,Starscream and Demolisher on Clearance for 8.40. I picked up both Starscream and Demolisher.

I picked up RTS Jazz at Walgreens on Queen Street in York as well as a Turbo Tracks and another RTS Jazz at Giant of all places in Red Lion... Who'd have thunk it?

I'm guessing no one has seen RTS Lugnut yet?

Walmart in Reading PA (#1777) has about 4 of the BIS 2 pack... highly recommended. Also, I'm bummed I missed the last meetup, but I'm looking forward to the next

I suspect we'll have one around late April/May. Watch this thread for details!

As long as it's still in Exton and not on 4/26, I'll be there

Yes you are, we even had a seat saved for you last time!

Back on topic, found the only Scourge and Kup at TRU in Exton this morning, so they are finally hitting the SE PA area, about a month to six weeks behind the first sighting, as usual!

Sun Feb 27, 2011 2:30 pm

Sweet. Means it's time to start checking my stores again.

I've got a Target and a Target distribution center just up the road, so that store is usually the first of any around here to have the new figures.

Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:02 pm

B. I really did try to make the last one but we ended up having to go out of town.

On topic, I haven't seen anything new in H.burg since Jazz and Tracks came out.

There are some RtS G2 Primes and Bumblebees at the TRU in Wilkes-Barre, but nothing else. The Perceptors and Wreck-Gars are gone. We've also got tons of Gen Cliffjumper, Skullgrin, and a few Thunderwings. No new PCC, no RtS Voyagers, Scouts, or Legends.

The Kohls here in mechanicsburg(6444 Carlisle Pike) has all of wave 1 RTS. they arent on the shelves so you'll have to ask an associate to bring some down for you (which they will be more than happy to do) Also have WFC Megatron, WFC Prime, WFC Bumblebee, Skullgrin as well ass PCCs like huffer, icepick, smolder. ask em to bring em all down for you. Get em out of the stockroom hahaha Im sick of looking at em!

West York Wal-Mart has the standard HFTD pegwarmers. Plenty of Hailstorm, Jetblade, and Sea Attack Ravage.

I got there when they were restocking though. WFC Megatron, WFC Cliffjumper, WFC Soundwave, Gen Skullgrin, Gen Thunderwing, Gen Blurr, and the Battle in Space pack are all in. Didn't pick any up myself since i'm trying to save for a Lugnut.

Camp Hill TRU has Wave 2 RTS! 3 or more Primes, 2 or more BBs, 1 Perceptor!
I have the first 2 on the way through HTS. and Perceptor is already in hand so I left them for whoever wants them.
Harrisburg TRU had 1 Kup and he of course came home with me! Cant wait to pop the upgrade head on this oldtimer and commence the cigar chompin!
Also Target in Mechanicsburg has 1 Blue Fallen and 1 Voyager Highbrow.

That's amazing! I was in there about a month back, and almost the entire Transformers selection was RotF holdovers. I was amazed and disappointed.

Wed Mar 09, 2011 10:16 pm

yeah they still have alot of those RotF holdovers but they are 11.99. the generations and RtS are going for 12.99. Camp Hill looks to be the place for the RTS right now whereas Harrisburg is loaded with Generations. Im in both stores constantly and will continue to do so "Until all are one!!"

Exton TRU has the DotM Preview Prime in stock, about 20 of them. Still no RtS Wave 2 sightings in the area though. Starting to really piss me off!

Who's out near Pittsburgh way?

I may be out there with a buddy of mine this weekend and I may want to eat delicious steak and talk about toys.

Fri Apr 01, 2011 8:16 pm

Went to Wal-Mart in New Castle west of Pittsburgh, near the PA-Ohio border, close to Hermatige. They have Red Alerts, Thunderwings, Skullgrins,wfc Megatrons, one dirge(lookin at the other 1 right now) and 1 wfc cliffjumper. Some Battle in Spaces, lots of dotm preview primes and lots of hftds.

Walmart in Waynesboro has RtS Wave 2 deluxes, all four! As far as I can tell, that puts them in the lead in the area, as I haven't found them anywhere else. No sign of RtS Wave 1, which has barely shown up around here. They had no scouts at all.

News Credits: 609 · Mon Apr 04, 2011 9:46 pm

They should rename Wilkes-Barre to Wilkes-Barren, "'cuz we ain't got ****."

News Credits: 5 · Tue Apr 05, 2011 8:45 am

Well, we have plenty of **** here, but it's just that, ****. The same old shelf warmers keeping the pegs too full for new figures!

Wed Apr 06, 2011 10:05 am

I gave up on finding Perceptor and Wreck-Gar at retail. I just ordered them off of BBTS. We have had the same in Harrisburg forever. I had to get Kup, Scourge, Wheeljack, and Thundercracker online as well.

Frustrating.
