where you at?

I heard Ultimate Prime is big as a leader (they say Buster Prime) with trailer. For $100 is ought to be big.

Wait, what?!? $100? wow, no thanks

I didn't really pay much attention as I passed by their generations selection, but had to stop and ask myself why that Skulgrin shelf warmer looked so red? Sure enough they Had x2 Warpath (now only one), x2 Thundercrackers, x2 Wheeljacks, a Scourge there. I wasn't sure if some of you were still looking for those or not.

I got Wheeljack and Thundercracker this weekend in Frankfort. Still looking for Warpath. I am going to Indy tomorrow, So hopefully I will find one on the north side.

That's so awesome you all are finding the last Generations wave in the wild!

Like I said I really didn't expect to see any, and I wasn't even looking anymore. It's been so long since I've seen anything new, that my mind really had tricked me into thinking I was seeing an overly red skulgrin for a second. Especially after going to Illinois Rd. Target a couple weeks ago, and their transformer pegs were empty.

That place sucks. An employee admitted to me last weekend that they have TFs in the back but they are told not to tell us what they have or to get any for us because they are collector items. Seems so friggin stupid to not sell them, They do exist to sell items for profit right???!

I tried to argue my point but im sure he isn't paid enough to give a **** :lol:

I wonder if the "toy manager" is a collector too? I don't really get into anything else, but other toys seem to be stocked pretty well. I do totally agree whats the point of leaving stock in the back that could sell, and leaving the pegs full of 6 month old thunderwings, and jolts.

I tried explaining the difference of a collector and a scalper to him...but They don't care enough to understand. seems like bad customer service to me if they have something I want but wont sell it to me.

Target is full of morons. That place is worst to get stuff from. I collect Transformers and Marvel universe figures and i think the only thing I have ever got there that everyone else didn't have was the Marvel universe wave with Thanos, Yellowjacket, and Constrictor in it. Their current setup of DOTM toys is ridiciously small. Unless you want a bunch of Cars 2 stuff they are going to be worthless for the forseeable future.

Meijer on Maysville has a few Shockwaves and Skyhammers, also Powerglide. They are in the aisle and they is also a center walkway display AND a endcap a couple aisles down from the TF aisle.

Go get em!

by **Omegasupremetheboys** » Wed May 18, 2011 8:14 pm

I had also given up on the Generations figures. I'll check on the Southtown Walmart. I'd really appreciate anyone with any extras to let me know. I have pre-order through Bigbad toy store but they keep pushing back the arrival. I'd like to go ahead and the figures sooner rather than later.

by **barricade2218** » Wed May 18, 2011 8:46 pm

TRU actually had a really good display today. They only things I didn't see were Sentinel and Shockwave. Target GB was wiped out of the little they have pegs for. Thanks for the heads up about SW FFOE. :KREMZEEK:

by **radioboomer** » Thu May 19, 2011 7:07 am

Lot of people through Michigan have had success with finding Shockwave at Meijer. If anyone sees the Human Alliance Bumblebee and Skidz, let me know. And I thought someone somewhere said the Cyberverse Optimus Prime with the trailer/battle platform is out.

by **barricade2218** » Thu May 19, 2011 12:54 pm

Got the last Shockwave at that Meijer on 37. :APPLAUSE:

They have the most impressive selection I've seen so far. They do have one Sentinel left there, and I did see one at Lima Rd. too, if anyone is looking.

by **radioboomer** » Thu May 19, 2011 1:42 pm

Walmart on Dupont finally has their display out. Grabbed the Walmart exclusive Legends 3 pack plus they had a new Autobot hat for 10 dollars.

by **Skywarp76** » Thu May 19, 2011 4:08 pm

Hey for those of you interested in this sort of thing. Gordmans over by Illinois road target has a small selection of KO Transformers. They have a few mini G1 combiner sets (devestator and I can't remember what the other set is called), and a selection of jets and insecticons. I got a G1 color accurate devestator, but haven't had a chance to open it up and see how the quality is though. The combiners are $4.99, and some robots were as low as $1.99.

by **barricade2218** » Thu May 19, 2011 8:37 pm

Shockwave is one of the nicest toys in this DOTM line so far, IMO. Quality is right up there..Makes a much more believable villian rather than the "Doctor Doom" Megs. :-?

I'm hoping they do a good job on leader Ironhide.

Do you live in Indy? I tried to look up that store online and it says there is only one in Evansville?

Oh, ok. Maybe Fort Wayne was on there too. Can we see some pics of the KO Devestator? It would be cool...

The plastic didn't feel as cheap as I thought it would, but don't get me wrong this thing is pretty low on quality. the only articulation is shoulder, and head nod. I haven't had a chance to break him down to individuali robots and see how they are yet.

They had a few more devestators, but not sure if there were anymore in the G1 colors. There was another combiner. An autobot defensor maybe? Sorry I'm drawing a blank on his name.

I was in Greenville, Ohio Saturday and saw a DOTM WM exclusive 2pk w/ a ROTF battle blade Prime repainted w/ horrible moon and stars on his chassis. cant recall who the other repainted bot was, but it was a deluxe and a dune buggy of sorts.

Looked absolutely hideous. Anyone else see this or know about it?
