Wow... lots and lots to catch up on here, I see! Well done everyone on their finds... I also grabbed that Optimus vs. Megatron pack at Dollar General when it was up here, Glad I did, it looks awesome in my display. On the hunt for Junkie and Black Thunderwing. I called our TRU and although they're not there yet, they are on order and will be arriving soon. And lastly, I read the headlines every day to see if there are signs of HA Soundwave... He'd better be out by Christmas, or you and me will go bust a few heads, Rasta!

For me, my braggin is just about over, finally found 2 Space Case figures, Darksteel, Air-raid and heading to a local target that suppose to have 3 Sky Shadows and Junk heaps, and after this im calling quits unless hasbro produces LC Shockwave and Megatron if so then im on board again but only for those two thats it. Then the funds go to 3rd parties until hasbro get something else better rolling our way for next spring/summer time. Peace out Doc!

Peace and rock n' roll back to you, Stock...all's quiet up here, with the exception of the PRIME deluxe figs now at the Lima TRU. I picked up Screamer--he's a cool fig and all, but I'll be cherry-picking to the extreme for the foreseeable future (except for HA Soundwave--gots to have him...). I'm kind of hoping to find a good price on a Japanese MP Rodimus (first version)--cheapest I've seen so far for him is $135 at BBTS.

Much love to y'all.

Snagged the last Sky Shadow and Junk heap last night at Target in beavercreek. and does anyone have the fire burst prime and the cannon force ironhide? if so, can anyone tell me if they're worth it? Ive being eyeing on the first burst prime cause of the gun/axe he comes with and i like the new cannon for IH cause of the new color and abit of G1 homage there.

How is every one doing today?

Todays findings in Boardmen

Wal-Mart had the orange re-paint of Roadbuster and the new Lunar Optimus Prime, looks nicer then the first one but did not get either. :???:

Target had the deluxe class two packs from the black friday sale still at $9.99 for each, got the Nitro Bumblebee with Barricade and the Mudflap with Cyberfire Bumblebee so got the few I did not have. :KREMZEEK:

Target also had one Sky Shadow, and had the DOTM Jazz and Space Case, one each left. They had the new re-colors of the small Human alliance figures but still no Reverb yet :sad:

Five Below had more RTS Scouts and got more Windchargers for $5.00 each. witht he 6 I bought last time I picked up the last 5 they had, first 6 went to friends, theses will be for my personal collection to trade in the future. Not wanting to become a scalper just a trader. :KREMZEEK:

What do you guys think of this new layout? Finding is a little odd but still manageable so far.

Hope every one else good luck in your finds and happy hunting all.

Wolf Out.

Also, still nothing on Primes yet, both TRUS in Boardmen and Niles still have no sign of them.

For anyone in the Akron area I spotted Sky Shadow at the Wal-Mart in Stow. It was the only one and was behind Generations Wheeljack, and Sergeant Kup.

Now you mention it I have seen a few Darksteels, mainly at Target and then at Kohls for $18, nothing on Soundwave or Leadfoot sadly.

Also found the two backs of the DOTM Deluxe 2 packs I metion at Target today at Wal-Mart in Austintown for the same price, nothing different then what Target has tho.

Meijer in Lima had at least one Darksteel that I could see from a short distance. Didn't have a chance to check more in depth, though. I'll probably swing by the Lima Walmart on Harding Highway later this afternoon to see what they have.

by **Lucius Prime** » Sun Dec 04, 2011 8:50 pm

I found a Darksteel today in North Olmsted for $9.49. Picked him up right away! I didn't know how beautiful he was til I saw him. He color scheme is amazing! They also had Space Case and Air Raid. I didn't get those cause Space Case is another repaint and Air Raid has a disgusting robot mode. Also at Target and Wal Mart, found DOTM deluxe double packs, and I saw the Ultimate Gift Set with the 8 Cyberverse. Passed on that one, but I can see why it'd be cool. What else?........ Oh, yeah! previously, I got a Wanna Fanta Roadbuster, and He is the same as the original, only orange, but he's still a cool dude. That makes 4 Roadies that I own now. HA, CV, and 2 deluxes. Also, Lunarfire Optimus has wicked paint apps! I HIGHLY suggest picking that one up! He's a good addition to the Optimus collection, and it's a WM exclusive, so how can you beat that?!
Prime Out! LOL

Grabbed the last Air Raid at a local Target store and Target has Voyagers on sale for $14.99 each and the sale doesnt end until 12/24/11.

by **avenged12** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 5:01 pm

The Walmart on Georgesville Rd. in C-Bus has the new exclusive set with the 5 legend class figures. $29.88 They had 4 of them as of noon today. Nothing at any other Walmart or Target. Still no orange Roadbuster in the C-Bus area.

by **Devastron** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 2:13 am

Target on Feedwire in Sugarcreek/Centerville had 1 each of Sky Shadow, Air Raid and Darksteel.

Hey hey now Lucius! Darksteel is pretty rad, love the color scheme and the homage to Quickstrike from beastwars. Yes, Space Case is a repaint, but i just love the colors and the new head design and gotta love the spear/trident weapon he has, and about Air Raid, i was skeptical about him too and didnt like the robot mode, but loved the alt mode, but for $9.49 at Target, i said what the hell and picked him up and i really like, yeah his robot mode is thin and frail, but him having a flail and a shield/blaster combo is pretty sweet! highly recommond all of these and about the Gen-line Sky Shadow & Junk Heap much more highly recommended than the previous.

Hey Doc check your PM when you get chance my friend.

by **Stellerwolf** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 7:57 pm

Hello every one in Ohio! Hope all is well and your Christmas shopping is near complete.

Been looking every where around here to see if I can find some of those KO Warpaths to put beside my real one. I know they are OK's but they do not look that bad and figure they could be like his troopers or some thing.

For my big news tonight.... I finally found PRIMES!

Niles TRU had 2 Arcee's, 2 Starscream's & 4 Bumblebee's. Bought 1 of each as shown in the picture below.

Also watch tho, they are showing them on the pegs for $12.99 for Primes. When I went to buy them they were ringing up at $13.99 each. I had to show them and they corrected the price for me but they said ti was a mistake, they were $13.99 each. So if any one is close by to Niles Ohio TRU does close at Midnight and its not to bad of a night for a drive before the snow starts to fall.

Any ways I hope you all find your Prime figures soon and happy hunting.

Wolf Out. ♔

Nice little haul at Lima's TJ Maxx this morning--they had RTS Prime and Wreck-Gar in, which I promptly grabbed. They also had the Legends RTS Megatron in, but I left him there.

Also saw DOTM Air Raid at Meijers in Lima, too, along with at least two Dark Steels.

Nice haul Doc! at least you got Wreck-gar for your collection and Air Raid and Dark Steel is pretty cool as well. Dont forget to get junk heap and Sky Shadow as well, both great figures!

I'm so so sorry... y'all are gonna hate me... But I gotta tell you what I found. At the TRU in Elyria, there were 3 Primes left on the peg, one Starscream and two Bumblebees. I grabbed one of each. That's not the worst of the story... I then went to Target down the street and found two Junkheaps and of course picked one up. The TRU did have Arcee, but were sold out when I got there. So, I'm gonna call them every day until they tell me she's there. That's all from my neck of the woods. I'm happy for all you that made out as well! Til nest time!

Still no sightings yet of Prime figures where i live, unless no one is reporting the sightings, but normally i try to stay away from buying toys at TRU, cause of the ridiculous mark up on them and i really dont care for Walmarts either, but if i can save $2.00, then ill go to Walmarts.

News Credits: 2 · by **Doctor Reggae** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 7:10 am

Stock--from what I've heard, it sounds like all of the sightings are at TRU stores. Lima's TRU had them a week ago, but when I was there yesterday, they only had one Bumblebee figure. Still though, since TRU stores get trucks more often for the holidays (I think), I'd guess that the ones near you would have them ASAP.

Got your PM too!

You're right, Rasta, I worked at TRU during the Christmas season for a bit. And, yes, they get trucks if not every day, then every other day. Up here, they got boxes (not packages, but brown shipping boxes) allthrough the main isleways. I don't know why they don't just clean them up. I saw one Spacecase in Rocky River Target and a Black Jazz. Also, a cyberverse Flak. My wife checked TRU North Olmsted for me and she said that the pegs were full and there were more DOTM boxes on the overstock shelf. I'm wondering if there's a deluxe Soundwave up there for me. Time shall tell.... See ya!
