Oh sorry, forgot to specify. I live near duluth. I found the deluxes at hermantown target and walmart. The voyagers were at hermantown walmart only at the time. I change my location so any knows just in case I forget to say were I find things.

Awesome, thanks guys. Not going to Duluth for Vehicon.

I'll check my Walmart this week, but I've been disappointed. Brooklyn Park Target restocked some Deluxes on Friday, so I got Hot Shot for my kid, but no Knockout or Vehicon at the time. An Arcee and a couple of Ratchets were also there.

One thing I am very disappointed in: the Toys R Us in the area have squat for Transformers. :evil:

Okay, if any of you are near Rogers, the Target right off of 94 has Voyager Screamer and Bulkhead. They also have HotShot and Knockout. No Vehicon, so I won't cancle my BBTS order...

Well woke up this morning and went downstairs to find water all over the floor. My town got so much rain the water came up through the cracks on the floor.

After that my family and I were going to town to get some new storage binsto but the stuff from wet boxes into, when we got caught in a hail storm with ping-pong ball size hail.

Make a long story short nothing new tf wise, but my local walmart got the new dark knight rises toys. From the ones they had the articulation looked awful. The movie accurate figures looked good. The walmart also had the new spiderman stuff and gijoe retaliation toys.

So a bad end to the weekend, but atleast summer vacation starts tomorrow.

Water in the house sucks. :-(

Good luck with the clean up!

Yeah, such a bad news. Good luck with the clean up.

My neighbor's tree fall down on Saturday also. If the tree aimed right, it could collapsed right on the whole kitchen. Luckily only damaged part of the gutter and scared their big dog a little bit. The root soaked too much water and too soft to hold the weight, then plus some wind.

Toy sighting wise, saw voyager Starscream and Bulkhead at Plymouth Target. One each. Also a Cyberverse Mirage and Soundwave. No new deluxe.

Maple Grove Target (the one near the new hospital) has 5 Knock Out, 2 Hot Shot, 2 Ratchet, 1 Cyberverse Ironhide, and 1 Cyberverse Dreadwing. I got the 1 Cyberverse Dreadwing. Sadly no Vihicon which is odd since they have 5 KO.

by **Iron Prime** » Thu May 31, 2012 4:07 pm

At least the new stuff is starting to show up. Still no Voyager Bulkhead for my boy's birthday though...

Is it gone already?

by **Iron Prime** » Fri Jun 01, 2012 9:47 am

Not sure. But it's hard to find time to scamper out there - especially sans child. I'm hoping they will start showing up in the SW metro soon...

by **STINGRAY749** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 1:59 pm

Thanks for the support guys. I would have posted early but my Internet is on the fritz.

Only thing new up in Duluth is botshots wave 3. Still need to pick up prid bulkhead if the clouqet walmart would stock prid voyagers, instead of putting more dorm voyagers out.

Well I'll be looking today.

by **Iron Prime** » Sun Jun 10, 2012 4:46 pm

Saw TFP Starscream - Voyager and Cyberverse - in the Shakopee Wal-Mart the other day...

Plymouth Target still has voyager Bulkhead. Iron Prime, do you want I pick it up for you?

Also saw a Cyberverse Evac.

Thanks for the offer but I can run it down myself. Thanks for the heads up!

Finally found a prid bulkhead at the walmart in Hermantown. It will do until I can get a FE bulk.

I finally was able to pick up a deluxe Cliffjumper at the Superior WI Target. The only other one in the area was at the West Duluth Kmart. I still haven't found a Vehicon in the area yet, but will pick up the only Soundwave (In the last week) I could find at Shopko.

Update: At Shopko, the DOTM deluxes are marked down to 3.74. I passed up the Soundwave in order to get six of them (I missed out on DOTM, when they first came out due to replacing a transmission).

Always glad to see that there is someone else in the duluth area on here.

I found my Vehicon at the Hermantown Walmart. Clouqet walmart have voyager bulk and screamer and one deluxe knockout if you don't have him, as of yesterday.

I would suggest looking for vehicon in the miller hill area. They restock pretty frequently.

by **prowlalpha** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:15 am

I found that Hermantown Walmart stocked the best. Target, lately, is just sad and they up their DOTM prices.

by **STINGRAY749** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 11:31 am

Yep, I've also noticed that too with that target, but it's not as bad as the Clouqet Walmart. They don't restock until there are zero toys on the shelf.

For you two up north, hopefully you guys are okay with the flood.

Sighting wise, at Plymouth Target, saw 1 Knock Out, two Hot Shot, 1 legion Mirage and Evac, and 1 voyager Bulkhead. The TF peg is pathetically small now. Not just Target, same does Walmart around here.

My home was fine because last year, the city finally fixed our street which included a better drainage system. While others around were disintegrating due to the heavy volumes of rain (I am two blocks from the green car in the hole), my street had a small stream. Yet, at work, I work with the Ore Docks, nearly waist deep water in some places and it was not fun walking through that.

On to Transformers, I recently just picked up a Bot Shots Super Bot Bumblebee and I am digging the translucent plastic.

by **STINGRAY749** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 11:10 am

My house is also fine. I got just a little bit of water in my basement, but this time I was prepared and had all my stuff was off the floor so no damage.

Nothing new tf wise at cloqet walmart. Now I'm waiting until FOC figs start to hit shelves. same with prid wave 4.

by **prowlalpha** » Sat Jun 30, 2012 12:16 am

Just got back from a quick Hermantown Walmart panales (Diaper) run, I see that the Cyberverse Starhammer is out. I picked up a Bot Shots Top Spin.

I have been terribly disappointed with the pickings in the NW Twin Cities Metro. Mostly there's just Voyager Prime and Deluxe BB. I do occasionally run into the newer waves like Hot Shot and Knock Out. But, never a vehicon, the only one left at this point I care about.

'Tis the reason I'm paying a little more to get the stuff online. Earlier this week I finally got the Entertainment Pack from BBTS with Deluxe Megs and Optimus. Just waiting on my Wave with two Vehicons, and Arachnid. Though I cannot believe how sucky the reviews on Arachnid are...
