Hey everyone, just wanted to know if anyone found any preview ROTF BB and Soundwave? just curious and spoke to a Target employee last night and she said if they had them, we cant sell them until the release date and we dont place them on the shelf for sell until the release date, i did ask her about the preview figs, she did try to find out more about them for me, but could not find any information, and this could change by tonight or early friday morning. So, now im hearing it might be saturday and not today, but if anyone finds out anything let me and everyone know! Thanks.....Happy hunting for the preview figs.....

Well guys, i think the preview figs aren't out until May 24, thats what the hot blonde told me at target. I ask her to check some DCPI numbers and she said sure np, and she enter them in her device and i was there over her should so i can read it and it said no stock, and then she said theres one more function i can do for ya and entered them again and it said stock arriving on May 24 and heres the kicker! she told me this, just keep your DCPI numbers and if its still in the stock and not out on the floor, we get it for ya and you can pay for it at the cashiers desk!!! :shock:

i was like really! and she said ya and then she told me that theres a truck tomorrow but shes not sure if these items on it and one more truck on Monday, so ill check tomorrow and monday after work...

Well, I saw my first ROTF figures... The were Robot Heroes! Can you believe it?! Like, who cares?! I can't remember which two they were, but they were at Target up here. That's it until I raid the stores the morning of the 24th! Then again the 30th! My dad's coming up here from Tennessee that weekend... maybe he can wait outside with me! Good luck out there!

Hey guys stopped by the Target, Meijers, TRU, and Wal-mart in Beavercreek today they had nothing, but a guy at Target told me that they should have them on the 24th like Stockade said. A lady at TRU told me they had a small box of ROTF toys, and I asked would I be able to purchase them she said I don't care. She grabbed the box and brought it to me it seemed rather small she opened it, my face stopped smiling when she opened it. It was only ROTF Robot Heroes. :sad:

RED ALERT! Meijer in Lima had ROTF Voyagers and Leaders on the shelf--I was just there at 3:30 pm and picked up one each of Prime and Megatron. They also had Demolishor, Prime, Ironhide, and Starscream in voyager-class.

I'll check the Meijers in Findlay on Monday morning before work. They had a lot of peg and shelf space that was marked for ROTF toys.

There's only one Meijer in Lima, Stock...it's at 3298 Elida Road. I'm heading there in a bit with my wife to go grocery shopping...I'll see what they have left on the shelves and make a posting about it. I'll see if I can get some pix up too...I've got a ton of stuff to do this afternoon, though.

Thx soooooo much man! My wife n I took our son up there last night. He's 6 and loves tf'ers, and it dont hurt that he's got me into it again. Anyways, I told him I had to get a chair for my shop but I told him we'd check out the toys first so I led him into the tf aisle, he was blown away, it was priceless. I bought one of each new fig, leader megs/prime, voyager starscream/ironhide/prime/demolisher, legends prime/bumblebee/sideswipe. They had alot more different legends but I was already overspending so I left them. I cant remember which ones they were. There were empty peg hooks for deluxe's. I took a shelf tag to customer service and it showed 0 on hand and 0 on order, which was strange, I thought. It was a great night, thx again.

WHEW and WOW! what a haul to that meijer in lima and just got there in a nick of time, just picked up Demmy and starscream!! the only ones they had left was Prime and Irondhide, which im not buying (not repaints), and plenty of legends figures, and major upset no leader class at all! but these 2 are on my top 10 hit for ROTF and i'll post pics soon!!!

News Credits: 2 · Sun May 17, 2009 1:46 pm

Skate, Stock--glad to hear you guys got some swag. I was there around noon grocery shopping, and noticed that all they had left on the shelves were voyagers Prime and Ironhide. Now I know where all of the other stuff went.

I'll let everyone know if the Findlay Meijer has anything tomorrow morning.

I think this accurately describes my situation up near Cleveland/Elyria/Avon Lake

How do you upload a photo without it cuttin it in half. I tried using a img tag from a file uploaded to photobucket. But when it previews it cuts the file in half width wise.

Sun May 17, 2009 9:44 pm

Hey, Muffin... looks like you're in my neck of the woods! Finally someone who understands my blight. If you feel so froggy, PM me you email or something like that and maybe we can work together! Let me know... I thought I was the only one up here until now. Peace!

These forums do that...

As far as I know, all you can really do is make the photos smaller...

Took a trip around Lima today to the Meijer, Kmarts, and Walmarts...whole lotta nothing again. ROTF voyager Prime and Ironhide are still at Meijer, but the other stores don't have anything. The Walmart on Cable Road has shelf and pegspace cleared for them, though, but the employee kept mentioning the street date to me, so I doubt they'll have anything before then. The Kmarts didn't have any pegspace set aside yet.

I cant get the picture risized correctly. So here's the album with the pics in it.

Hey Doc thanks again for letting us know about the ROTF figs at Meijers, Demmy and SS are just badass!!! Please let us know if you see anything else, like Mixmaster and Rampage are the next ones on the hit list....

News Credits: 2 · Mon May 18, 2009 9:17 pm

Glad I could help...although I have to admit that I'm kind of kicking myself for not picking up Starscream...

Demolishor's cool? I'll probably end up getting him eventually, but he's not high-priority yet...

It was a good day to visit Meijer in Findlay (on Tiffin Avenue). They had ALL of the ROTF scout class figures out, Rampage, Sideswipe, Sideways, and Breakaway for the deluxes (2-3 of each), two Demolishors, Ironhide, and Starscream for the voyagers, and one leader-class Megatron. I snagged one each of Sideways and Sideswipe--this was at 9:20 this morning.

Tue May 19, 2009 11:14 am

Lucky you reggae. Lima meijer still is a zip on scouts n dlx's. That was at 10:00am today at least. How are we gettin the figs before other states. It just dont seem right, like i'm still in shock ya know.

News Credits: 2 · Tue May 19, 2009 12:35 pm

Yeah, I was surprised that we're getting stuff this early too...not to mention that it's at Meijer, which is usually behind the ball in this area. Not that I'm complaining, though.
