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

action figures besides the MOTUC usually stay in package. 95% of all TFs come out though, but all i save is the instructions. Unless its an import.

Just too much to be saving.

I used to keep them all in packages since I started collecting (around the Beast Wars time) but I got a bug one day and took them all out. I have saved every box or backer card from everything I have but as you all have said, it gets to be too much. I was just curious as to your feelings if you were to buy something off say, e-bay, would it be important to you to get the box the toy came in as well as all the paperwork that was included? As long as I have the directions, I'm happy to have a moop toy without all the box art work etc.

Picked up Hailstorm today at Target Glenbrook. They have a few Sidearm Sideswipes and Terradives if anyone is looking.

Grabbed Highbrow at the KMart in Columbus. They also had 1x The Fallen and 2x Elcetrostatic Jolt.

A friend of mine told me that the TRU express at the mall had 3 TFA rodimus minors and Ironhides.

Craziness guys....

Decided to venture throught the black friday madness in search of Grimstone or any of the new RTS figs.

target had none, and was generally just a mad house.

TRU had neither either but was even crazier, BUT they did have like 3 or 4 TFA arcess....WTF! I have NEVER seen one at our TRU and all of a sudden on black friday they appear. Were they hoarding them until now? lmao!

oh well.....i refused to wait in the lines and i already one one of her. but if any of you feel brave enough feel free to pick her up!

Anybody else catch "Prime" on the hub yesterday..? Any comments..?

I watched the episodes on youtube......I was pretty blown away! It has a really mature feel to it despite being marketed towards kids. If i hadnt read the spoilers I would have never guessed cliffjumper being killed so quickly in the show.

The animation is really fluid and looks amazing.

Im also really digging Starscreams new voice and Frank Welkers new take on Megatron. they both sound really sinister and both fit the characters

REVEAL THE SHIELD AT KMART SOUTH!! $7.99 DELUXES!!!

Tracks
Jazz
OUTBACK (fallback)

Voyager blue fallen
Highbrow
battle blades Optimus

there are also a big stash of the deluxes on other other side of the aisle, plenty for all!

go get em!

Stopped by WM south, the only new stuff they had were the PCC's Crankcase w/ Destrons and Stakeout w/ Protectobots. Passed on both, although I did give thought to the Destron set.

Anyone find skullgrin or thunderwing yet?

Yep, picked up Thunderwing, Cliffjumper, and Dirge at Target (Thomas Rd) yesterday. They also had a couple Skullgrins. I think I grabbed the last Thunderwing though.

Has anyone found Soundwave or Blurr yet? Those are the only ones I haven't seen.

For my Kokomo peeps, the Walmart may not have new waves on the shelves but they do have the latest HFTD deluxes on one of their "Toyland" displays at the front of 2 of the cashier lanes on the grocery side as well as voyager Prime, Bonzitron, Rachet, and Payload on the GM side. Hope that helps some folks!

Am i the only one not getting those helpful little emails telling you when someone posts after you??

its a little annoying.

Have yet to find the time to look for any of the newer waves but its nice to know they are out there

I haven't been getting them either. I saw your post about K-Mart a day late and all the HFTD were gone. I did pick up Skullgrin, Cliffjumper and Thunderwing at Target west today, they have plenty of both, FFE...

Toysrus is loaded with Animated deluxes - Rodimus, Arcee, Cybertron Ratchet and Ironhide, and many others. They also have Tomahawk and Terradive. That place was a madhouse for a weekday, probably be like that until Christmas.

Target Glenbrook had Tomahawk, Terradive, Cliffjumper, Skullgrin, and Dirge.

HURRAY! I GOT ALL THREE!! Thanks Barricade

Also, I did get an email for your post...but that was the only one.

BTW, it appears I'm getting messages again as well.

Glad to help..!
Now if you happen to see Jazz or Tracks anywhere else, someone, please let me know.

Curious- Anyone get Highbrow..? Comments? I'm still on the fence on him.

I cant believe all those jazz's and tracks got gobbled up! I smell a scalper! there were seriously like 10 or more of each

Went to TRU w/ fiance and kid for xmas presents for him tonight....

they are flooded w/ TFA Rodimus and Ironhide. no Arcee's unfortunately, I kinda wanted a MISB one.

no Grimstones either.

I found Jazz, Mindset and Fallout(?) at the Walgreen's on State and Wells. I picked up Jazz and there was one left, and one of each of the others. Sadly, no Tracks. I can't believe how much more expensive they were there too. Keep checking the Walgreen's and CVS's, they might have more at the others.

thanks man! im gonna be sure to rock out to this tomorrow at work

I know everyone else is finding Jazz's & Tracks' around the state, but the Kokomo target has 1 WFC Soundwave, 1 Blurr, 1 Dirge, 1 Red Alert, 1 WFC Megs, 1 Thunderwing, & 3 Skullgrins as of 45 minutes ago.

My "lil" brother at Walmart also told me they won't restock the actual TF shelves til most of the ROTF deluxe guys are gone (ugh), but they do have some of the HFTD deluxes (Tomahawk, Jolt, etc) & voyagers (BBPrime, Banzaitron, etc) in the "toyland" displays. Hope these are helpful to someone this time of year!
