I've seen animated Wreckgar and Atomic Lugnut at multiple targets in Pasco county.

Saw Atomic Lugnut at Target, but I picked up Jetstorm & Jetfire from there instead.

And I finally managed to refind Swoop and bought the last one. He was in the most unlikely of places: Walgreens.

And why is it so impossibly difficult to find Ultra Magnus in Tampa! I've found only two of three times, and each time I was a few bucks short of getting him. Now that I have the money, he's nowhere to be found (and online purchases are out of the question).

hey Sabrblade here in West Pasco the Kmart on us 19 in New Port Richey has had 2 Ultra Magnus for a while and the Target in the same shopping center as Toys R Us in Port Richey on Tacoma has had Ultra Magnus recently.

That's too far away from me at the moment.

The stores I can get to on weekdays are Target and Wal-Mart on N. Dale Mabry Hwy., Wal-Mart Supercenter on Gunn Hwy. near the Citrus Park area, and, if I have the opportunity, Target and Wal-Mart on Waters Ave.

The stores I can get to on weekends are Kmart on St. Rd. 54, and Wal-Mart on St. Road 54.

No other stores besides those am I able to get to.

Finally refound Magnus and Shockwave earlier this week at Target on Waters Ave. Bought both and they were each the last ones.

Also decided to go ahead and get Activators Thundercracker in case he doesn't get a larger toy. Picked him up at Target on N. Dale Mabry Hwy. The Wal-Marts seem to be slacking a bit. One got a new shipment of old stuff, and another didn't get the new stuff until long after Target did.

I've picked up a few of the Universe line in the past month (just before the price hike) and scored the following at the Gainesville Target:

Animated Blurr
Universe 2.0 Cyclonus
Universe 2.0 Hound
Universe 2.0 Starscream

The Jetfire/Jetstorm 2-pakc was available this past week (02/17/09), but haven't had any luck finding Shockwave (Grey or Purple redeco) or Wreck-Gar. Any sightings of these guys near Gainesville?

Just found TFA Deluxes Waspinator (3) and Samurai Prowl (2) at the Gainesville Toys R Us. Sadly, they had been added to the shelves without being added to the computer, and the person needed to add them to the computer wasn't on hand, and they couldn't sell them too me.

Boo for leaving empty handed

Well, it's good to know that they're finally making their way to Florida.

The ones I'm looking for are:

Activators: Cliffjumper, Dirge

Deluxes: Waspinator, Samurai Prowl, Arcee (when released), Electrostatic Soundwave (when released)

Voyagers: Wreck-Gar

Target Exclusives: Sunstorm Vs. Ratchet (when released)

Just spotted Animated Waspinator :grin:

(bought 1, left 1) and Animated Samurai Prowl at the Dadeland Station Target in South Miami, near the Dadeland Mall on S. Dixie Highway (US 1). No new Voyagers though.

Hey guys, did not know about this forum until recently. I'm up in Suwannee/Columbia Counties.

This last week found 4 each of Inferno, Leo Prime and Overload at Lake City Wal-Mart. Found Waspinator and Samurai Prowl and Shockwave at Live Oak Wal-Mart.

Found the target exclusives purple Shockwave/Bumblebee and Sunstorm/Ratchet 24.99 each at the Tampa West SuperTarget on my way to work this afternoon. They had one left of each on the bottom of an end cap under some GIJOE fighter planes.
11627 West Hillsborough Ave
Tampa, FL 33635

Just stopped by the Gainesville Toys R Us, and while their TF sections are a bit bare, they had a Samurai Prowl and 2 Waspinators, and the deluxe figures are currently $9.99

Decided to stop by the Gainesville Target as well, and for once, they'd actually restocked their TF section. An end cap on the front of the aisles had 6-8 Purple Redco Shockwave/Activator Bumblebee Battle Packs and 6-8 SunStorm/Activator Ratcher Battle Packs for $24.99. As dumb*ss prime mentioned, they split the end cap with some larger scale G.I.Joe fighter planes below for the same price. Back on the main Isle, they had 2 Atomic Lugnutz, and 2 WreckGars as well. Voyagers are $21.99, and they'd restocked their deluxe's (still on sale for $8.99 till the end of the month) and had a couple of the ever-elusive Swoop figures

I go to that Target all the time! Tell me, why haven't they put any new Animated figures on the shelves yet? Specifically Samurai Prowl, Waspinator, Wreck-Gar, and Sunstorm vs. Ratchet.

My girlfriend picked up Swoop for me at that Target earlier this week. She says it was the last one they had on the shelves. No mention of the other stuff though, I only asked her to look for Swoop (:

I found him twice here in Tampa many months ago, and both times there was one one left.

I got him on the second time, but he and Shockwave seem to be very hard to find.

Although, I went to Once Upon A Toy at Downtown Disney in Orlando not too long ago, and they were restocking Voyagers and had quite a lot of Shockwaves. So, they could've had some Skywarps too, since the two of them are in the same wave.

I've gone with the wife to downtown Disney multiple times she loves that place. I've never found anything I haven't had for 6 months already.

Dirge is finally out and available. My Target had two of them a few day ago and I got one.

Still waiting on Cliffjumper, though.

Question, is there any Target out there that has any purple Shockwaves left? I only got Sunstorm and now I can't find either anymore.

Why is it that the first two Target exclusives Stealth Lockdown and Rescue Ratchet were available for a long time and in great amounts, when the next two exclusives Sunstorm and purple Shockwave were very limited in quanity and availability time?

There are a few Sunstorms and purple Shockwaves left at Super Target in Boca Raton. The $5 sale on both sets caused a huge run on the figures, and honestly, I'm surprised there are any left anywhere.

I'm still looking for Inferno. Maybe we can help each other out?

That's a bit far from Tampa.

If by Inferno you mean Voyager Universe Inferno, I've seen him only once or twice several months ago and I haven't seen him since. Sorry.
