I am also looking for Wheeljack and Warpath in the Orlando area. Nothing.

But...

I did manage to find Leader Ironhide for 39.99 at Target 434/436 intersection, and just across the street at Costco for 35.99.

Looking out for my Florida peeps... Wheeljack, Thundercracker, Warpath, and Kup are available at toysrus.com RIGHT NOW. I'm passing on this in the hopes of finding them out on retail still. I HATE THE SHIPPING CHARGE!!!

I finally found Generations Wheeljack and Thundercracker at the South Lakeland Wal-mart they were the last ones at the store. I agree with you i hate shipping charges i have yet to find a Leader Ironhide but im a Patient man. If i remember correctly the Hasbro Toy Shop has Wheeljack in stock but then there's that whole shipping fee .

I got a question for you fellow Floridians. I've found Deluxe Barricade, is he better or worse than the 07 movie deluxe Barricade? Barricade has been one of my favorite Decepticon designs and if ti is better, I'd like to have it.

It's a little better than Movie 1 Deluxe Barricade. Though, the lack of Frenzy is a bit disappointing, but it's still a pretty decent figure. I have Movie 1 Deluxe Barricade, Movie 1 Deluxe Premium Barricade, and DOTM Mechtech Deluxe Barricade, and I like the DOTM one best.

Though, I hear the ROTF Human Alliance Barricade is the best one (don't have that one, though).

Has anyone here in Florida had any luck finding Human Alliance Roadbuster?

No HA roadbuster on my side of town yet...

Same here...I cant wait for HA Leadfoot either. My wallet is gonna be crying when all of these new HA figures finally hit the shelf lol.

FINALLY!

Keep on the lookout for Generations Figures:

Target in Orlando on highway 50 (next to Fashion Square Mall) had the following for $11.89.

I bought: warpath, wheeljack, and thundercracker (1 each, got them all)

I left: kup and scourge (1 each).

Random find... Oh so happy!

Happy hunting...

Now thats what i call a good haul!!!

Still not sign of any of the new Human Alliance Figures (Leadfoot,Roadbuster, Soundwave etc.). And I guess we'll be able to begin the official hunt for the TRU Exclusive Hasbro MP Rodimus Prime/Hotrod release soon enough. I hope I have an easier time finding MP Rodimus than I did MP Grimlock - never could find him at my one local TRU (though his shelf tag was there).

Hey guys! I'm from New Orleans, but the wife decided we needed a vacation, so I'm in Orlando at the moment (about to go to Seaworld! Wooo hooo!). Monday, though, she said we'd spend the day shopping. So just out of curiosity, is there a hobby shop around here that sells TF merchandise, or am I doomed to walk the malls and outlets with her?

I think you are doomed. I've not known of a hobby shop for a long while, then I might just be out of the loop.

There's a hobby shop in Tampa, but they sadly do not sell Transformers stuff.

Sorry dude. I haven't seen one here. But, if you'll be shopping along the I-4 corridor, you may want to check out the Mall at Millenia off of Conroy and I-4 north of Sea World...

Not for you lol but for your wife... I say this because there is a TRU and Target in that same area...

TRU just opened there not too long ago, so not alot of people know it's there. That's all I can think of. Sorry!

My Toysrus here in Ocoee actually closed because of that Toysrus opening. Sucks, cause now I don't have one within 30 minutes of my house.

Wow, that sucks guys. But thanks for the heads up. My wife is literally giddy about the Mall of Millenia now. She looked it up online and her jaw dropped from the pictures. We don't have anything like that in New Orleans.

Oh well, might not be able to hit up TRU or any hobby shops, but I guess I'll try my luck at a TJ Maxx or two to see if I can find Warpath or Grapple.

Just bought the only DOTM Space Case at Target Altamonte Springs on 436 and 434. I read on another blog that they are only one per case...

Target on W. Colonial in Pinehills had all of the Target exclusives. Also found wave 2 of the Cyberverse legion and commander figures there. They had Hatchet, Battle Steel Optimus Prime (had to get it for his more accurate weapons)and for the legions they had Crowbar, Ratchet, and Leadfoot.

Much to my surprise, my local Gainesville TRU had 3 Ultimate Optimus Prime DOTM on the shelf for $79.99. No sign of Masterpiece Rodimus or his shelfspace/tag, or any of the Wrecker Human Alliance figures yet.

Same here. Found 1 ultimate prime but no rodimus in Orlando.

Scored 1 MP Rodimus at TRU in St Pete. One other person got one. And a friend got the only one at Clearwater TRU.

None around here have any left all sold out.

Scored a MP Rodimus Prime at the Toys R Us in Ocala, Florida. Left 2 more on the shelf for other would be hunters

I found and picked up a Reveal the Shield Lugnut at Ross on N. Dale Mabry Hwy (in the same shopping center as Target).

Was looking for a RtS Perceptor (since I saw one not too long ago), but couldn't find one at any store I went to.
