Had a really good time at SAC...met some cool people, got some good deals, met Gregg freaking Berger!

Although i didnt spot you Barricade or anyone else from this or SAC's thread. I even asked a couple people that i suspected.

regardless, I did get a MINTY god ginrai complete w/ box for only $40!!!!!!!!!!!!! yea, i made out like a bandit

I'm pissed, at the last minute a family emergency came up and I was unable to go :-(

. I'm sorry I had to miss it.

I stopped at a few stores here this weekend, hoping to spot anything new, and the only thing I found was at TRU (believe it or not), they have Animated Ironhide! They had three yesterday afternoon when I was there, (well, two now)

so if anyone is still looking for him...

That sucks barricade.

Funny story though, I saw a older guy that i suspected to be you. He was wearing a barricade jacket AND shirt, I figured this HAD to be you. But when I asked him he got a little wierded out for some reason and scurried away. My girl said the look on his face was hilarious! :APPLAUSE:

I ended up picking up a HTFD scout Brawn "firetrap" from ebay. I just dont have the time for hunting like i used to.

this little guy lived up to my hype! he is super tight and flawless, not to mention looks perfect in my classics line up

I saw Generations Megs and Darkmount at Target Glenbrook yesterday, it figures, the only new ones I've seen for weeks and I already have those two..! Where the hell is Soundwave and Red Alert..?

WM has HFTD deluxes and voyagers on rollback at $9 and $16 respectively. Hopefully this will get them out of here so we can see new stuff come out.

TRU has ROTF and Animated voyagers on sale for 50% off. I picked up Defender Prime for the price of a deluxe.

Has anyone seen HA Mudflap at TJ Maxx since it was reported initially. I've been checking out the one here about once a week and haven't seen any sign of HA figures at all. They have some ROTF deluxes and FAB's as well as Animated Atomic Lugnut and Wreck-Gar.

went to TRU today to check if they had any Red Alerts...silly me. I should have gotten him from HTS when i had the chance.

I did pick up Banzaitron...told myself I was going to pass on him but he looks so damn good in person, i really dig the color scheme.

by **barricade2218** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 5:35 pm

I bit the bullet and ordered Soundwave, Red Alert, Tomahawk, Terradive, Blurr and Dirge from HTS yesterday. I'm tired of waiting and for all the driving around I do to try and find these guys, the shipping is probably a lot less then I spend in gas.

News Credits: 3 · by **Fistful of Energon** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 6:46 pm

was at both walmart and target on coldwater and the only new thing i saw was a single Darkmount at target.

I have a feeling that as soon as these stores saw how fast the first wave of generations were going they immediately reordered too many and now all you can find is WFC prime and bumbles. Nether are bad figures but im sure most everyone has them now, and the stores arent committing to any of the new waves till the shelf warmers thin out.

looks like we may have to wait till they start filling the aisles to brim for holiday shopping. only then might we find the newer waves in any sort of quantity,

Was a TRU yesterday and all they had was darkmount, bumblebee, and quite a lot of HFTD figures.Got Darkmount, he's amazing...

not a sighting but definitely worth mentioning..

I received my Hardhead (hothead) from BBTS today, this set is incredible! it really does make your universe rendition truly special and stand out. If you are even remotely on the fence for this release I suggest getting it!

feels like the same plastic quality the universe figure is made from and is very well made. I will be keeping an eye out for any future upgrades or releases from Headrobots.

I got Gen blurr and dirge from walmart last night and they are GREAT! I was upset though because I wanted to get another blurr to keep in box and some kid went off with the last one

... ah well, at least I got one.

by **barricade2218** » Thu Oct 28, 2010 2:59 pm

You mean somebody actually had something on the shelf..? Lucky you!

I got TFG Blurr and Dirge today in the mail from HTS. Still waiting on Tomahawk and Terradive though.

Actually, there's been alot on the shelf here in south indy... i was surprised to see all the stuff. Target had all the new waves on the back of the isles were they keep the clearance stuff. Lucky I have a compulsive need to look at things on sale.

My Blurr came friday from HTS. Still waiting on Tomahawk, Terradive, Red Alert, Soundwave, and Dirge. They've all shipped according to the e-mail I received.

With the jump on Christmas all the stores are trying to get, I'm just surprised we haven't seen much beyond wave 1 around here.

I received HFTD Tomahawk and Terradive from HTS today. :APPLAUSE:

I picked up Axor yesterday at WM south. They fixed the arms design problems that Lockdown had thankfully. For some reason I really like this mold.

Just curious...do most of you take your toys oop? Do you save backer cards, boxes and all the paperwork besides instructions?

If you do as well, please tell my wife I'm not crazy! I have my RotF Devastator box filled with the backings, instructions, and "catalog" booklets full from the beginning of the Classics line to now, along with the instructions for the TRU reissue G1s I have and several of the "Unicron Trilogy" instructions. My wife constantly asks me why I keep all of those things (she understand instructions) but when I tell her I may need to know someones firepower rate or intelligence meter, she scoffs and says I need to ditch them. Ugh.... some people just don't get it! lol

FYI for my Kokomo area friends: Nothing really new popping up aside from Meijer had 1 Darkmount and 1 Tuner Skids.
