Stock--how you been, dude? You were right--HA Jazz is a righteous figure, no doubt. Probably my second-fave alt mode out of the HA vehicles, too, next to Barricade. I've got all of them so far--Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Skids, Barricade, and Jazz. No sigh of HA Mudflap, though--does anyone know when he's supposed to be released?

Hey Doc, glad your ok man, and YES Jazz is awesome!! personally i think its a win-win for both alt modes for Jazz and Barricade. Personally i had SS, but i thought he was junk and took him back the same week i bought him or i sold him, cant remember which now! And i just dont care for Skids and Mudflap, just not my type of thing if you will. about Mudflap, he's release date was back in March/April time frame, but i havent seen him anywhere, but jenus saw him once at a local walmart near by, but most people are buying him through Kmart, HTS or ebay to get him. Anyway, when are you gonna be playing around the Dayton area, i would like to hear your band bro!!

Sideswipe's probably my least favorite of the HA's, largely because it's a pain to get his shoulders done for the conversion process. But his alt mode's really cool...which is what they're displayed in anyway.

I'm trying to get the band booked next summer into some of the music fests down in Dayton, but we're gig-free until October right now--our singer and his wife are having a baby, and we're heading to Akron in early October to record the next album. Check us at http://www.reverbnation.com/sunsetjunkies.

There's a good chance I'm going to get some playing time in at the Dayton Reggae Festival in a couple of weeks--I play with a guy named Seefari sometimes, and it's always a good time.

I'll be going to to my local Target, ToysRus, and Wal-Mart this Friday and I'll report any good findings and what I buy :KREMZEEK:

Let us know if you see anything cool--sounds like Wave 2 of GEN is starting to hit now--I think I saw that Darkmount and Megatron were sighted at a Target...

I've never been to BOTCON, I've never been to COMICCON, I think I actually might have a shot at going to the Ohio Toy Show! That is such awesome news! Thanks, Shokwayve! As far as the HA's... I got Skids, Sideswipe, and Barricade. Sideswipe is so-so, I agree. Skids and Barricade are both awesome. Skids still has that dumb-@$$ looking face, but his bot mode is very tight and detailed.
Oh, and D.C., thanks for the band info... I think I'd like to come down and catch a show sometime! Peace, y'all, you'll hear from me at the first sign of something new!

Hey Shok! Could you keep me posted about this, i sure would like to go it. Maybe we you, myself and Jenus can all go together or something. Let me know man...

Ohio Toy Show, I'm all for that.

Also, Doc the music sounds great.

Hey guys I stopped by the TRU on Miamisburg-Centerville Rd around 1:30 looking for the new Animated exclusives since today was their restocking day anyway nothing new was there, when I gave them the numbers they said it wasn't even in their system and nothing was in the back. They might not have even really looked though I'm just saying that from past experiences with them. Again if anyone stops by the TRU in Miamisburg or the one in Beavercreek let me know if you see the new Ironhide or Rodimus, I think I'll stick to my plans and keep going on their restocking days.

Wed Aug 25, 2010 1:28 pm

Our Walmart was loaded to bear a few weeks ago. There are still some I would like to get. Unfortunately, adult crap took the wallet to town when the friggin car blew the engine. I'm still burning up about it. For the time all I can do is just look, stare, and drool. It's like being married so I'm used to it. LOL

After doing some work on my wife's car yesterday and went for a test drive and so i stopped by wal-mart by the Dayton mall, which they had nothing and doesn't surprise me. I wanted to stop by Target and TRU, but i had to head home to make more adjustments to her car...

Yeah Shockwayve thanks for the info. I think I'll go to the one down in Cincinnati rather drive 80 miles both ways than 80 miles one way.

Finally! Someone that gets it! LOL I'm the same way, dude! I'm always looking but not touching! I can't believe you found Soundwave! That's so awesome... I spotted the Rallybots at the Oberlin Wal Mart. I snagged them, but that means that if I now see Soundwave, there's nothing I can do about it! LOL They also had Icepick there. He doesn't look bad, I guess. I looked at the "Also Available" on the bottom of the box and I saw Sledge and Leadfoot that'll be available in that wave. I really want those as well as the Dinobots when they're out.

Fri Aug 27, 2010 2:52 pm

LOL. I saw the Ralleybots at the Coshocton Walmart a few days ago as well. The wife thought they were cute. Alas no cash though. Soundwave looked really awesome. I can't wait until I get over this hump.

Sat Aug 28, 2010 10:01 am

My weekend is coming... (I work Thursday through Sunday with Monday and Tuesday off) so I'll be on the hunt again. Hopefully I'll find something new for you to hear about. I notced that both Stakeout and Crankcase of the new PCC 5-packs are both repaints of Huffer and Smolder. I don't know if that makes a difference to you, but I thought I'd at least give a heads up to prevent double-spending. See y'all on the flip-side!

News Credits: 1 · Sat Aug 28, 2010 9:03 pm

Well all I got was Battle ops Bumblebee... There was no Ironhide or Rodimus Minor at TRU... :/. I wan't to get The Generations Soundwave and Megatron and Darkmount and Red Alert, and HFTD Battle blades optimus so freaking bad.... :/. Well Ill try my Wal-mart again this Friday..

Sun Aug 29, 2010 5:06 pm

Man...went to the tru in Mansfield after I saw the post here and everything new was already gone. I managed to grab only 2 Red Alerts.

Sun Aug 29, 2010 8:27 pm

Snap! Well, I suppose I have no excuse to swing thru there in the morning. Guess I'll head north instead to see what's lurking around.

Mon Aug 30, 2010 4:28 pm

Most of the central Ohio Walmarts and Targets all have the first waves in stock including the exclusives. The generations are all the first four. Me and a couple other people are looking for HFTD Voyager class B.B. Optimus Prime. He's nowhere to be seen around here. Good hunting to all and roll-out!

News Credits: 1 · Tue Aug 31, 2010 9:59 am

Took a ride to Beavercreek TRU and found one TFA Ironhide. Asked if there were anymore in stock in the back but none were available. No Rodimus though :-(

. They did have to Voyager class Banzaitrons and i haven't seen alot of them around. Target and Wally World had wave 1 of everything, so nothing new.

Later everyone.
