Let me know if you happen to see a Barricade, I have been looking for over a month (like most people) I was a min. late to TRU in La Mirada Saturday, and some women took all the good Deluxes, I couldn't see exactly what see had, but I did see a few BB's, Man some of these people are greedy, she could of left at least one for someone, Oh well, keep trying, I bought a payload off ebay for $20 shipped, just because I am tired of looking.

wheres la habra at? sorry im too lazy to mapquest it .

La Habra's in Orange County, just barely, east of Brea, south of Hacienda Heights/La Puente. Borders Whittier on the west.

There's a couple dudes here that live in HH that might be able to help you out with that. HH is my hometown, but I moved out a couple years ago, so I can't be any help to you.

cool.... la habra is closer than i thought, like down by san diego/oceanside or something.... i honestly cant help you cause you're quite a ways off.... the farthest ive been was to the super wal mart in cerritos.

Movie Deluxe:
1 x Dropkick (I picked it up)

2 x Arcee
2 x Brawl
2 x Wreckage
2 x Jazz
2 x Scorponox
2 x Bonecrusher

They also have 2 Leader Brawls.

Cheers!

I never hit Targets on Mondays because I would never suspect them of restocking their shelves on that day, so thank you for the info. By the time I got there all that was left were one Deluxe Brawl and two Deluxe Wreckage figures, but I was happy to find some single 25th Anniversary figures which I bought. If I can’t finish off the second wave of Transformers Deluxe figures by the end of next week, I am just going to buy them off Ebay. This wave is just taking too long to finish and I am getting more frustrated as the days go by.

TRU in Montebello/Los Feliz have a bunch or arcee/longarm/final battlejazz/payload/dreadwing and they are always there when I go. That's all I have been seeing.

Anyone seen the new version of barricade?

I saw it at Toy Mandala in Sherman Oaks for $25. I am still trying to hold off and hope that TRU, Target, or the Wal-Mart in my area will carry the figures that I need within the next week or so. I just can’t justify paying $25 for this figure.
Looking for Rescue Ratchet, Dropkick, Recon Barricade, and Final Battle Jazz (I could live without this figure). I can’t wait for the third wave of movie toys; the pictures of Deluxe Landmine look sweet.

Ouch! I rather wait to find it at the target/tru. There is toy store at the Burbank Mall (near the ikea) that only sell collectibles. I got my dropkick there for 14 bucks. Not bad priced. This was a month ago. I have not been there since to know what they have in stock. It's on the first floor near the entrance to the Macy's.

Dropkick is a Deluxe Movie figure. He is a Decepticon that transforms into a purple truck. The figure was released with the newer series of movie deluxe figures. For collectors such as carabuser and I, the figures seems to be a pain in the ass to find.

lol, I already know who he is, reading comprehension ftl. Yeah, I figured it was being released with the newest case assortment, but I really find it odd that I'm not finding him anywhere, especially when TFs like Longarm, Payload, and Arcee hang on the toy pegs for at least a full day before they're all snatched up.

That just rubs me the wrong way; why would Dropkick, a movie toy not in the movie, be such a popular one?

Weird.

I wouldnt say dropkick is as popular is concept BB, but i'd say he comes in second in terms of the newer shipments.

Dropkick has had great reviews and ratings, and i saw two of him one day, along with all the other assortments cuz TRU just restocked (someone beat me to BBs however.) I wasnt sure if i wanted to get him, so i hid one with a better paint app, and when i came back he was gone. In fact...just about all of the figures were gone.

Seems like every figure, good or bad, is flying off the shelves, payload, dreadwing, arcee, final battle jazz.

its nuts.

yup.... every figure is sold out.... even wreckage and swindle.... the only two i passed on are now sold out .

really! wreckage is awesome!

You better get on Wreckage will you can...hes a bad ass fig. Don't be detured by his crappy stock colors. Repaint him.

yea i know. i just found one the other day !

Laguna Niguel Target restocked their Wave 1 Deluxes, and had a bunch of G1 Jazz's. They also frequently put out new Titaniums, but I've been nabbing them all personally. If you see a dude picking up every Titanium they have on the shelf and then walking up, say hi. XD

Also, Leader Brawls, but where don't they have him?

inglewood target this morning:
fabs BB 2x, barricade 2x, megs 2x, blackout, frenzy, and prime
robo reps 1x barricade, and a few megs
new real gears
leader megs and brawl(i bought him)
titanium 6" 2x optimal optimus, megs, and scourge
titanium 3" movie blackout, megs, prime, and jazz.
ult BB 4x
G1 repaint jazz 1x

also im guessing they had G.I. joe 25th anniversary new wave of figures because they had 1x beachhead.

also targets are having a star wars toys sale.

also if anyone sees an extra leader brawl, post i here for me. i bought one today but id like to have another to keep misb. thanks.

happy hunting.

Small quantities of Movie Dropkick,Wreckage, at North O.C. Targets today, still can't find Barricade !

No new TFs from what I can see.

The Walmart at Oceanside off the 78 has turned an island adjacent to the toy section into a toy clearance island, and I spotted two Classics Voyager Primes there going for $11. So yeah, if you want one of those, head over there. I think they've been there for a good couple weeks.

if anyone is interested in movie replicas (frency, barricade, prime & jazz) head over to KMart in Burbank. Next to the Mall/ikea.

This morning both Rosemead & Pico Rivera Walmarts are fully stocked with wave 1 & 2 movie deluxes and some voyagers:

[Rosemead Walmart]
>>>Movie Deluxes>>Movie Voyagers>>Movie Deluxes>>Movie Voyagers<<<
Rescue Rachet (2 left)
Thundercracker (4 left)
Megatron (1 left)
Optimus Prime (1 left)

Alhambra/Pico Rivera Targets have nothing.

Cheers!

Yeah, I was just about to report the same thing. All SoCal dudes, keep an eye out: the Walmarts are apparently stocked to the brim with early wave Deluxes.

I went to the one in Oceanside, off the 78, and they had a ton of Wreckages, Bonecrushers, 76 BBs, and Barricades, and a few Swindles. There was probably a new wave mixed into that, but most people got those already; there was only one Dreadwing left.

There were a ton of new wave Voyagers as well; those looking for Voyager Megs or Prime, Rescue Ratchet, and Thundercracker, check out your local Walmart.

The Target in Encinitas got in a bunch of Scouts and a couple Deluxes too. By the time I got there (11:30ish) there was one Dropkick left, which I happily snatched. My Movie Deluxe hunt is now complete.

From the looks of it, we're the only two in NorCal and in the same area. You seen any Leader Prime recently?
