Maple Grove Walmart has very less TFs but found 1 Banzaitron and 1 BBOP. One Bludgeon is good enough for me and I am satisfied with my ROTF leader Prime, so didn't pick them up.

Maple Grove Target has almost everything, too. Picked up HA Jazz and 2 left.
(Saw 3 new HA Bumblebee,too. It's a shame the pack photo is still using Sam with black shirt which Sam is wearing white shirt in this package. Lazy Hasbro.)

Are you talking about the Walmart on Highway 81? I saw the Banzaitron and Optimus. I can't believe I actually bought another Optimus. And Banzaitron is gone now too. (I love the mold!) Only other HftD was the Blue version of Dirge. I'm not a fan of the color scheme even though I like the mold. Just PCC Combaticons too. Very disappointing.

There was a Human Alliance Jazz. The only reason I'd pick him up would be to try to sell him right away and I'm too lazy for that.

North Target is Rochester has been pretty well stocked for a few days now. I really don't know about TRU or WM. Target definitely has a bunch of stuff though, and the deluxes were $9.99.

Minnetonka TRU, found one MP Grimlock and got one. Zero left. Be sure to ask them if they still have him in the back.

Minnetonka Toys R Us had 5 Animated Rodimuses, 3 Animated Ironhides, and 1 Animated Cybertron Mode Ratchet. I grabbed a Rodimus and Ironhide. Now need to cancel my order with BBTS.

I cannot believe I was lucky enough to see these after the insanity that was trying to find Arcee.

Toys R Us in Burnsville had TFA Ironhide - still no MP Grimlock though... :sad:

by **Prime Riblet** » Thu Sep 02, 2010 5:59 am

I haven't looked in several days, but I have yet to see MP Grimlock as well. I was glad that I didn't see an empty place on the shelf where he was supposed to be though, so I would say it must be safe to assume he has not landed in Rochester yet.

Picked up scouts Insecticon and Breacher at Toys R Us in Blaine. I only found one of each and bought them both. For now, everywhere is stacked with wave 1 figures. Found legends Hound and Sandstorm last week. But that's about it for stuff outside of Wave 1. And I'm not optimistic with all the pegs so full everywhere with the same figures.

And to think, 4 weeks ago I was so wanting to see Thrust that I bought him from Hasbro Toy Shop. Now I could purchase him 50 times over without going 2 miles.

It's been a while. Visited TRU at Blaine and Minnetonka. Nothing new. No luck as Agamemnon to find Breacher. However, at Blaine, found one HA Barricade and one MP Grimlock. Go get them if you don't have. Talked to a worker at the Minnetonka one, he said the next big wave will arrive in the middle of October, but not sure when.

At Minnetonka TRU, found 2 MP Grimlock and 4 green legend class Devastator.

by **Prime Riblet** » Tue Oct 05, 2010 11:29 pm

I just grabbed the last MP Grimlock yesterday at the Rochester TRU. Other than that, there was nothing new there. I also picked up Darkmount at the North Target, but that was the last one and there was very little else there of any importance.

At Maple Grove Walmart, found 2 Red Alert (got 1), 1 WFC Megatron, 1 5pk PCC Rallybots, and 1 5pk Destructicons. They also have couple of each HFTD wave 2 (Sandstorm, Elita 1, etc) left. I want WFC Soundwave badly.

News Credits: 2 · by **paul053** » Fri Oct 15, 2010 11:08 pm

At Maple Grove Walmart, found 1 WFC Soundwave and got 1. Yeah, finally. So now they have 0 left. Beside this, they have 4 Red Alert and several HFTD deluxe wave 2. And yes, their deluxe class is at $9 now. Not paying much attentions on others.

by **Iron Prime** » Sat Oct 16, 2010 5:33 pm

Target in Savage had Hailstorm and Side-arm Sideswipe

by **Prime Riblet** » Wed Oct 27, 2010 4:55 am

I haven't noticed a lot in the last couple weeks in Rochester.

by **Iron Prime** » Wed Oct 27, 2010 6:54 am

Pretty dry up here too...

If for something new, found 2 Electrostatic Jolt at Plymouth Super Target. Not so exciting but something new.

by **Prime Riblet** » Wed Nov 03, 2010 12:39 am

I noticed a couple of those in Rochester as well. Other than that, not much happening in this neck-o-the woods.

News Credits: 2 · by **paul053** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 5:53 pm

Didn't expect to find them that soon but I found them. Got Generation Blurr and Dirge at Brooklyn Park Walmart. One for each left and they also have one WFC Soundwave and one Red Alert.

by **Prime Riblet** » Sun Nov 07, 2010 3:28 am

Rochester WM had Tomahawk and Terrdive in stock. There was also 1 Blurr. Other than that, I haven't seen much around.

BTW, that Blurr I saw needs to stay on the shelf. The paint apps were some of the worst I have seen on ANY Transformer. It was kind of disgusting how bad it was.

by **STINGRAY749** » Sun Nov 07, 2010 9:25 pm

I saw two and picked the one that looks better. I was wondering whether Hasbro was using the wrong paint again or not. Why don't they use the same one as on Drift? This one on Blurr just feels so scratchy especially on the hood and roof and I will never dare to put my finger nails on it. I will also be so worried if my son is touching him.

BTW, does any body care to find any Breacher? I just don't see any of him.
