Voyager Class Optimus Prime and Megatron have been sighted at a Toys R Us in Schaumburg, IL. Thanks to my good friend and Seibertron.com staff member Starscream for the photo from his iPhone! In addition, I just purchased an Ultimate Bumblebee figure last night at a Target store here in Chicago. It looks like it's time to start hunting for figures again!

Remember to report your toy sightings in the Seibertron.com Toy Sightings section.

UPDATE!!! TRU on Western in Chicago just put out a bunch of new stock, including the Voyager Class figures mentioned above and the new wave of Deluxe figures. Seibertronians, transform and roll out to your nearest Toys R Us stores!!! I will do my best to post galleries of some of the new figures within the next week for all of you to see.

UPDATE #2!!! Ultimate Bumblebees at a Target in Chicago:

That's a buttload of Voyagers. I think the only time I've seen that many was June 2, the movie toys street date.

I used to work there when I was a teen. tf's are always selling out and have their own aisle. check above the pegs in the overhead compartment, sometimes theirs stock up there.

What's the difference between voyager prime and robovision prime besides paint apps?

No difference really. The Robovision version is the nicer one IMHO.

Sweet, I just got a coupon from Toys R Us in my e-mail account. Spend over $25 and save $5. I could get both Voyagers for only $35.00

I refuse to ever shop at that specific toys r us ever again. They suck there, plain and simple.

Wow. That was a really, really stupid move on TRU's part. After the initial oohs and aahs, they're gonna shelfwarm like nobodies business. Especially Megatron.

Oy...

Both classes of Megatron have been extremely difficult to find in my area. It's part of the reason I haven't gotten Prime yet, either; no sense in getting OP if you can't find his counterpart.

Ill? That's only one state away.

I wish there were real time photos of the stock

If anyone has time please post a new pic- Im curious to how long those last.

THEY'RE OUT FINALLY!!! My buddy Starscream just cleared out the TRU on Western in Chicago. We'll be getting galleries of the other new movie figures soon!

I hope they're there tomorrow morning in Schaumburg. I'm driving right by that store for a job interview tomorrow.

Damn, I guess if I didn't have to work I could drive around to every toys r us in the area too. So I'm guessing the concept bumblebee is gone then? I'm never going to get one. Especially not with so many collectors in my area. I count 4 just in this thread. Damn damn damn. You best not be going to my mt prospect wal-marts or I'll shank you all!

The latest deluxe figures are at Toys R' Us in Cobb County, Atlanta. Saw Payload, Longarm, BD Jazz, and Arcee yesterday.

There's 1 voager class at the Wal-Mart in Bremen GA. It was the only 1 that they had. There were also 2 ultimate Bumblee's. There are also 2 ultimate Bumblbee's at the Traget in Carrollton GA. I bought 1 of the one's at Target for my son to put back for Christmas.

I doubt it; most of those figures will fall victim to the "they don't have what I want, but I might as well buy something" mentality kids have.

Besides, the Voyager Prime is a sweet figure.

Wow. I haven't seen tat many new TFs toy s since the movie line started. ut now I have to go looking for money again....life is depresssing.................
