Changed my mind. Went back to the store and picked up Shockwave.

Well im kinda mad that my local walmart has no new tfs out so i asked to talk to a manager and no one came so i left. I even tried calling the store 2 times since i got home and no one answered. Were did you guys find dotm toys, specifcly shockwave.

Not mad any more found one ha icepick with ither dotm stuff, but still no shockwave or megs.

Target. I heard from other thread that Walmart is very slow and not keeping up the street date. Haven't checked it though.

Ya thats were i went. I always call all the stores i might possibley go to before i go out hunting. I called three walmarts and all of them didnt have dotm, called two targets and both had them. I even found a leader class ironhide, but it was out of my price range.

Okay, Walmart in Brooklyn Park is fully stocked. Well, they have a buttload of stuff out now. Plenty of voyager OP, Ironhide and Megs if you are looking.

About 40 Voyagers out. NOT. ONE. SHOCKWAVE.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. It's like the only toy outside of Sentinel that I was really looking forward to. I guess it's down to Target surfing. Maybe a trip to Toys R Us on Friday...

I got Shockwave from Plymouth Target.

Haven't opened him, though.

Yeah, I saw. (Supposed to be green with envy)

I did get the chopper (name escapes me right now) at a Target that I didn't see at Walmart. Makes me wonder what's up with the case assortments.

Ya i kind of wondered that too. I wasn't even able to find one store in my area that had dotm so i had to go to wisconsin to look. All i found that intrested me was a ha thunderhead. Still on the look out shockwave and megs.

The reason you could find shockwave was probably because some employe bought them knowing they would sell good online. This happened around my area during the time of rts wrekgar.

Well, i had my dad stop at a kmart in superior while on his way home from work and i told him that if he saw a shockwave to get it. A half hour later he pulled up in the drive way, when he walked in the door he told me that there were no new tfs. After dinner my dad told me to go take the garbage out. As soon as i saw the garge can i swear my heart stopped for a second. What i saw was amazing, what i saw was dotm Shockwave. I am still amazed that my dad was able to find one. He is awesome when you put icepick on his arm. so my final thoughts are that SHOCKWAVE is EPIC

If you are looking for Voyager Shockwave or Skyhammer, Eden Prairie's Walmart has many of them. If you are looking for Voyager Megatron, the same store has none of him. Voyager Prime is now a shelf warmer.

That's good to know, thanks Paul. The Target in Brooklyn Park (Broadway and Brooklyn Blvd) has about 3 Megatrons. Lots of OP everywhere. I figured Ironhide would be the shelf warmer, but no Ironhide at that Target. Plenty at the nearby Walmart.

Thanks to a conference there. Otherwise I will probably not drive that far since I'm not hunting for any TFs so far. By the way, forgot to mention. That store also has Sideswipe and Topspin. Sideswipe is ugly as hell. If and only if I get him, I will totally repaint him.

Clouqet walmart has all of wave one so this weekend i will make my want list i figure smaller by getting megatron.

Right! He is totally unpainted.

Found two deluxe topspins today. I got megs before i saw them so i'll have to wait a week or two for them.

The Walmart in Albert Lea has lots of DotM TFs. Mostly voyager Prime andthe intro deluded like BB etc......

Have any of you guys bought anything from TFsource in the last year and used a credit card? If so, have you had any fraudulent charges on your card recently? Probably a bit late to issue a warning now, although I did submit it as news here a little over a week ago that it looked like another hack job went down, but it was left on the cutting room floor.

When it comes to sightings, I pretty much stick to TFW because there's a lot more action in the St. Paul suburbs there (where I'm from and spend most my time)...but most the guys there that have used a CC at TFsource have been hit. It hasn't gotten much play here on Seibertron so I thought I'd at least warn the local crew. It was finally brought up on the TF general discussion here a few days ago, but has been a pretty hot topic on the TFW general forum for almost a month now.

And finally, if/when ordering from TFsource in the future...always use Paypal!

Hmmm... Good to know. Thanks for the info. The last time (and only time) I ordered from them is for FP Bruticus upgrade set and I was using paypal. Otherwise I pretty much do with BBTS or HTS.

Thanks for the heads up. We did have 2 fraudulent charges from a news stand in NC for $800 and $300 earlier this week. We've canceled this card. I didn't think it was the one used at TFSource, but it could be. It's too much of a coincident otherwise.

The Wal-Mart in Shakopee had about 1/2 an isle of TFs! it was nuts! Looks like basically the first wave. Lots of Leader Sentinel Prime and BB. A bunch of Voyagers (only one Shockwave though?) and lots of deluxe and legends.

Picked up Sentinel Prime. I think he is going to be my only DotM purchase until I see Leader Ironhide.....

Ive noticed that walmarts that weren't that good with tfs are over flowing with dotm. From my local walmart, that never had any new tfs in, ive gotten:

Voyagers: shockwave and megatron

Deluxe: topspin, roadbuster, and crankcase with intact fingures.


Still looking for laserbeak.

In response to the news item a while ago, I went to the T.J. Maxx in Brooklyn Park (Brooklyn Blvd and county 81) and the Marshals in Crystal (Broadway and Bass Lake Road). They do indeed have some hard to find Reveal the Shield and Generations. The T.J. Maxx still had Lugnut and Grapple, and legends Megatron among other toys. The Marshals had 2 Wrek Gars, and a legends Megatron, among others there as well. No scout Windchargers. Some other scouts, though. Check them out!

Sweet ill have to check this out on monday, and i could use a wrekgar. And now that dotm finally comes lugnut finally comes out of hiding after i buy one off ebay for $25 ( that included Shipping)

I was wondering were is the best place to find wave 3 dotm stuff? I think its target but i was just wanting to know for sure. Also has anyone seen a dotm laserbeack, if so what store.

Also was there any Rts scout frenzy's because if so that would be a good sign for me.
