Thanks. I have a feeling we might been waiting on a new "wave" to hit these stores... kinda hoping that everyone buying up the existing stock will mean they replenish the figures soon and we might get another shot at the highly sought-afters (Grappel).

Happy 4th everyone!

New poster here. I figured it was about time for me to get in on this. I live in Denham Springs, so I mostly shop the Baton Rouge area.

The TRU in Baton Rouge has the normal stock of DoTM, but recently got some of the newest wave with about 5 Fireburst Primes. (This is the only BR area I know of with Fireburst.)

TJ Maxx on Seigen Lane has 2 Solar Storm Grapples, 2 Lugnuts, 1 Strafe, & 1 Battle Blades OP. I think I also saw 3 RtS Bumblebees and 2 RtS Perceptors.

Marshal's at Hammond Aire Plaza has 2 RtS Bumblebees and thats about it.

Ross at Seigen Lane has absolutely nothing.

Most of the Wal-Marts and 2 Targets out here have nothing but DoTM wave 1 and 2.

EDIT: The last time I hit up most of these places was about 3-4 days ago. If you will be driving in from far away like New Orleans, let me know and I'll go scout the place first. (I'll even hide it behind something in the store if you want.)

Welcome Philo,

I'm out in Baton Rouge so I'm sure we'll run into each other at some point. Another thing is the Denham Springs Walmart had a couple of Warpaths this week. If you're looking for anything in particular I'll let you know if I spot it as well!

Welcome to the group!

Welcome Philo! I am right outside of New Orleans in Jefferson.

by **necr0blivion** » Sun Jul 03, 2011 5:38 pm

Hey Philo!

I live in Algiers (New Orleans), but am known to frequent all shops in the Greater New Orleans area, and sometimes BR (depends on work ). It's a sickness sometimes, but usually I find a way to make a fun trip out of hunting.

Best wishes!

I am sort of in the same boat Necro is in.. Depending on the job, I travel a lot on a daily basis and have gone from Houma to Venice to Slidell to BR (not all in one day.. lol)... But it all depends

What's up Philo! Nice to see another Louisiana native here on the sightings forum. Sadly, your sightings won't help me much because I rarely go to BR anymore.

That sucks too, because I used to always be in BR when my wife (then girlfriend) was at LSU. Now BR has all the good stuff!

by **TheDarkestKnight** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 4:18 pm

All right Philo! Another Denham Springs native.

Anyway. I've seen sightings of the next wave of Cyberverse stuff (Commanders Battle Steel Optimus Prime and Hathet, and Legion Roadbuster, Flak, Stealth Bumblebee, and Starscream) in the New Orleans area on some of the other boards. Just wondering if there has been any sightings in the BR/DS area?

by **mazingaspidey** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 5:20 pm

I've been on the hunt for Hatchet myself TDK... so far nothing that I've seen... Do any of you guys get out to the Walker or Central WMs much?

by **TheDarkestKnight** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 5:40 pm

I frequent Central occasionally. I havent had any sucess in Walker...ever, so I usually never go there. Central WM is about the same as everywhere else. My experience is that they tend to put out there stuff about a week before the DS WM.

by **mazingaspidey** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 6:01 pm

The DS and Central Walmarts used to be hot spots for generations/classics back when I was in Zachary. Hell Central had a Classics Jetfire out when they did their renovation about 9 months back.

Thanks for all the friendly receptions! I really appreciate it. ^_^

I hit up the Rite Aid in Denham today. They had an Animated Soundwave and Universe Sunstreaker. But they were both at the exorbatant price of $17.99 each. Wow, just wow.

I suppose if you're hard up for a sideswipe its better than ebay prices...

You can't argue with this..

Picked up Decepticon Hatchet at the Millerville Target a few minutes before they closed. They had a legend's ravage that wouldn't ring up... grrr... I was half tempted to pick up the Cyberverse BB with his battle station but opted not to. On my way back to the toy aisle I spotted Leaderclass BumbleBee and Tronhide. They actually both look damn impressive! Too bad I'm on a budget this month. Happy hunting guys!

by **TheDarkestKnight** » Wed Jul 06, 2011 10:19 am

Mazinga, did they plenty of hatchets and did you happen to spot the battle steel prime? Nothing new in Hammond or denham as of this morning. The Hammond Wal-mart was rearranging their toy aisle and I saw a bunch of unopened hasbro boxes but I couldn't get close enough to read the description. They had the whole aisle blocked off

by **mazingaspidey** » Wed Jul 06, 2011 10:26 am

TDK, I only noticed the one. I was hoping to grab a few others in his wave. No luck on Battle Steel Prime.

by **TheDarkestKnight** » Wed Jul 06, 2011 2:58 pm

Mazinga, thanks for the heads up. I went by Millerville target today and snagged a Battle Steel Prime. It looked lime someone raided the transformers section b/c there was toys scattered everywhere and falling on the floor. I just happened to look at the voyagers and saw that a Battle Steel Prime had fallen behind them. No such luck on the Hatchet though.

Glad to see you finally joined.

I spotted a Spacecase at the Millerville Target this afternoon when i went back to look for Hatchet (didnt find one).

by **Philo Phi** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 5:29 pm

I decided to hit up the I-12 between Denham Springs and Mandeville. Here is what I found.

Hammond Target - 2 Wheeljacks, 2 Red Alerts, 1 Sgt Kup & fully stocked on the Target Exclusives. At least 3-4 of each.

Hammond TJ Maxx - Nothing.

-----

Covington Target - 2 Wheeljacks & 2 Battle Steel Optimus Primes. None of the Target Exculsives yet.

Covington Marshalls - RTS Voyager Night Ops Ratchet.

Covington Ross - Nothing.

-----

Mandeville TJ Maxx - 2 Animated Wreck-Gars, Animtated Lugnut, Scout Oil Pan, 2 Scout Crankstarts, RTS Perceptor, & a Legends Prowl.

Mandeville K-mart - OMG, TONS OF NEW STUFF!!! They had a least a half dozen of Battle Steel OP, Leader Ironhide, Fireburst OP, and the K-Mart Exclusive "Autobot Daredevil Squad"s. I didn't see any of the July Wave stuff there, but I actually forgot to look for it. (Sorry)

by **TheDarkestKnight** » Mon Jul 11, 2011 2:55 pm

Philo, did you spot any Cyberverse Hatchets at any of those locations?

by **Philo Phi** » Mon Jul 11, 2011 6:26 pm

I'm faily positive I saw 3 Hatchets at the K-Mart in Mandeville. (They were in those middle of isle carboard box display thingies - not on the actual shelf pegs.)

I don't remember seeing them elsewhere, but I could've just missed them.

by **TheDarkestKnight** » Tue Jul 12, 2011 10:27 am

I checked out the Mandeville k-mart this morning before class and managed to score a hatchet. As of 9 this morning, they had one left. Plenty oh battlesteel primes and wave 3 voyagers.
