Digging this new Barricade, although these mech-tech weapons don't thrill me in the least. Gun looks pretty awesome with him though.

I've been to WM North and CW, Target and TRU at Glenbrook and nothing. Tons of Animated Rodimus and Ironhide if anyone needs either.

So what did everyone think of the short trailer we got to see..?

Couldn't believe it. Went to WM South, and lo and behold I found Kup and Scourge! They must of just put them out, not a crease on them. Check 'em out...

Damn! i didnt see your post until last nite barricade. Hit up WM south this morning and it was like nothing new was ever there. Hit up kmart and WM west too, nada.

For anyone near Kokomo, Target pull out some more Generations deluxes along with 1 each of Kup & Scourge. I got both but they still had WFC Cliffjumper, Megs, SW, Thunderwing etc. Guess that means it's time to keep sharp during hunting!

I have another guy who told me they only had one of kup and scourge as well...thats 3 stores so far that have done that. I know that retail tend to hold on to newer stuff until most of the older stock goes away but when it comes to particular toy lines its a little ridiculous. On top of that why deprive your store of sales?

by **barricade2218** » Wed Feb 09, 2011 8:07 pm

I just lucked out, for once I was at the right place at the right time..! I'll definitely keep my eyes out for them though. You might try Kohls at JP. Had good luck there. They're a little more expensive if not on sale though... #-o

I was just there today too! didnt even think about it. Although I did just buy a wedding ring for my fiance while i was there so i was more concerned about my wallet weeping at the time :lol:

who is all in the current wave? im a little confused on that. Kup, Scourge.....?

BTW, just bought a Energon Galvatron from a TFW2005 poster for an AMAZING price! pretty excited as im gonna display him w/ my MP Roddy until MP Galvatron shows up :PRAY:

Generations Wave 6 has Kup, Scourge, CJ, and Thunderwing. Wave 7 has Wheeljack and TC along with Kup and Scourge.

RTS deluxe wave 2 are Perceptor, Wreck-Gar, "G2 Laser Rod" Optimus Prime and a redeco of the Classics Bumblebee.

How is that MP Roddy FfOE..? Congrats on getting the ring. Hopefully it didn't set you back a years salary..! LOL

Went to Walmart and bought a Battle in space pack. I actually really dig it. I also bought another jazz and tracks to keep in packaging...

by **barricade2218** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 8:53 pm

Preordered this little bad boy at BBTS...PE-11 SFX Scouting Force X Camera Set. I'm hoping they are at least in scout size.

so then are all of those figure SUPPOSED to be out currently? you got me hunting again barricade. been here and there pretty consistently lately. Still nada. Target is really beginning to annoy me.

MP hot rod is amazing. mine has no real flaws besides the backpack being floppy but thats common. I fixed it with a clear rubber band. He is the centerpiece of my collection, and w/ his colors he really stands out. I have always been a Hot Rod whore so I couldn't be happier w/ him. I refuse to transform him though, I know it seems a little sacrilegious but i am simply too worried about those leg panels and tabs. I will get a Hasbro version though and transform him.

Did anyone else get one?

by **barricade2218** » Sat Feb 12, 2011 12:32 pm

I don't think Wheeljack or TC are out yet. Supposedly all the others are...

News Credits: 3 · by **Fistful of Energon** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 1:09 pm

i broke down and attempted to ask a Target employee to help me possibly locate the new stuff in the back...it was fruitless and I think I was too much for the poor girl. she kept asking me if transformers.com told me that target should have them of if i have tried target.com. I told her i wish it was that easy, lol

I hitting up TRU today, will post any findings.

by **barricade2218** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 5:50 pm

I've not had good luck with the Target employees fishing in the back unless you have the mdse code and it shows "in stock." I HAVE gotten lucky a few times however. Or tell them one of the other targets showed they had it, that is usually enough to get Suzie stockgirl to go look...

I did see Tracks and Mindset at Kohl's Northcrest. The TF's there are buy one get one half off, but the deluxes are $14.99..! I only paid $11,89 ea. for Kup and Scourge and that wasn't on sale at WM. Target has their PCC's for $9.99 on sale. Was at Maplecrest today and they had the same old, same old.

Still hunting Wreck-gar and Perceptor...

Been having a real bad week at work and absolutely NO luck finding any of the new waves around so I just caved and bought that G2 lazer prime from HTS!

I really like the look of that guy, and the original G2 prime mold is one of my favs

by **radioboomer** » Fri Feb 18, 2011 9:42 am

I've struck out over the last week in the search for the Perceptor wave. Plus, only have seen the Scourge/Kup wave once and that was two weeks ago!

Sean?

Whats up man!?

yea, this town has been dry lately but I go some intel that there is gonna be a reset next week so hopefully that will be awesome for all of us.

No sign of anything I'm looking for(Kup, Scourge, Perceptor, and Wreck-gar). I actually had to drive from Fort Wayne to Kentucky this weekend, so I stopped at five Walmarts along the way. I didn't find any of the ones I was looking for. I did finally pick up a Terradive though.

Yeah wasn't so much that I couldn't find him, but more that i finally made the decision to pick him up. I was kinda on the fence about him, but now that I have him he's pretty cool. Though mine has a serious problem with his legs staying on.

Well I was told last week by a Target employee that they were supposed to be doing a TF reset this week. Decided to test my luck at Target west and left empty handed...WM west had PLENTY of freaking Tuner Skids and Sideswipes but nothing new. GRRR :BOOM:

My gut feeling is that within the next 2 weeks we should be getting some new stuff.

by **Skywarp76** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 12:56 pm

Northcrest Kohls had a Jazz and a couple Turbo Tracks. They also had a Fallback, and a ton of Chromia's and Ravages. I picked up the Jazz, and they're on sale for 12 something instead of the normal 14.99.

by **barricade2218** » Wed Feb 23, 2011 7:54 pm

Nothing seen to report, but my Lugnut and Dinobot PCC are in at BBTS. Ahh, fresh plastic..!

Still on the fence about MP Rodimus. I've seen some of the quality issues on videos making him look extremely fragile, although awesome, and that trailer looks freaking huge..! That in battle station mode would take up a bit of space from the looks of things.

FOE, is he worth the bucks..? It's either him or Predaking reissue. I sold my first Takara one and kind of want another again. What say you..?

Thanks,
Tim

For me? every penny!

Its unfortunate that so many have issues with theirs, it really takes away from how amazing he truly is.

As for fragility, if you already own MP's then you should know how to handle him. I would just be real careful w/ the leg panels and the tabs that are on his backpack that peg and lock into his car mode. He is one beautiful looking Transformer and should be treated with respect.

do it man :grin:

and yes, that battle station is huge! i love it

BTW, I got my RTS optimus today...after writing this post im going to tear into him :KREMZEEK:

also hit up Target and WM on Coldwater and TRU today.....NADA

by **PaulK80** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 4:52 pm

The Kokomo Target got one more in of each Kup & Scourge as of 2:30pm. Good luck to whoever finds em first!

The Walmart also put up a few of the Generations line like WFC Meg, SW, and Cliffjumper as well as Thunderwing & Skullgrin.
