Thanks Sludge for the sighting info. Picked up 1 x Final Battle Jazz at this TRU. Here's what's left of them:

5 x Final Battle Jazz
1 x Dreadwing
1 x Payload
1 x Longarm
2 x Leader Brawl
some new real gears, couple of FABs.

Rosemead Walmart has nothing but crap load of Cybertron Primus at full retail price. Alhambra Target has jack.

Cheers!

No problem Coolpop. The WAL-Mart in Duarte is supposed to get a large shipment of Transformers on Sep.21 or at least that is what the bitter toy manager told me. Hopefully we can get the Deluxe Dropkick in our area finally.

On that note, I skipped out on a good number of "rare" TFs today. Encinitas and Oceanside Targets got a good shipment in. As of 6:30PM, the Encinitas Target had the following new stuff:

2x Final Battle Jazz
1x Arcee
1x Dreadwing
1x Longarm
1x Payload
a bunch of Voyager Ironhides, Starscreams, Ratchets, and Megatrons

The Oceanside Target had no Deluxes, just a huge amount of Voyagers and Titaniums.

I ended up buying none of the Deluxes because 1) I thought I'd find them somewhere else and 2) I'm solely looking for Dropkick, although Longarm was tempting.

Oh, and if it's any indication of a shipment coming within the next couple days, the Oceanside TRU had nothing today, which makes it shipment-less for a good two weeks. TRU's first place I'm checking tomorrow, and then I'm heading to Encinitas Target to see if they might still have that Longarm.


Dude I have Dropkick right here. Brand new in package. Got him from one of my 'local' Walmarts. Picked him up cause I had the cash at the time. Wanna deal? PM me.

I was so close to driving to Frank and Sons yesterday, but decided not to. By any chance, did you get a glimpse at the availability of any THS figures, and the prices on them?

I went to Toy Mandala in Sherman Oaks yesterday and they had the Transformers Deluxe figures that I needed such as Dropkick and Barricade Recon, but they were double the price. I decided to hold off and hope that I can find them this week.

frys as in the electronics store? might have to check them out.... tf toys are popping up in the most unexpected places :-? .


Yes, if you're new to collecting Alternators, Fry's would be great place to pick up Ricochet, Rollbar, Skid & Sunstreaker for $25.00 retail. However, you can consider getting Rollbar at HTS for $20, get it over $25 to use $5 off coupon (code: TFPEPSI expires 6/30/08, I haven't tested it yet).

Cheers!

Lol….Yeah I was looking at the Takara Encore Megatron and they were charging $119 for the Megatron. I had bought the set of all four Takara Encores on EBay for $185. It is nice to see these figures in a store but not for that ridiculous price.
