Universe Vector Prime
Universe Bruticus (missed him in beastwars)
Universe Ratchet
Universe Red Alert (release???)
Universe Combiners Bruticus and Superion
not much into TFA stuff, but for the new movie, ill be very limited to what i buy, made the mistake from the first film and bought every figure i know and i wish i didnt and running out of room as well. If theres anything i can do let me know....

Yeah, I bought most of the movie as well...and then sold almost all of it about 3 months later. Not really getting much from this new movie, save for a couple of the more interesting scouts/deluxes (biplane, anyone?).

Thanks for looking for me. You'll be the first to know if I run across any of your picks!

Well guys in my hunt today I found 2 Infernos , 1 Leo Prime, 1 Overload, 4 Smokescreen, and 2 Dinobots at the Wal-mart in Beavercreek it was about 9 p.m. when I saw them. Then the Meijers in Beavercreek had 2 Wheelies, 2 Rodimus, and 1 Warpath.

Also, Stockade like the new picture in your sig.

Hey Jenus, if i have the time today after work i will try to stop a the walmart in moraine to see if they have anything, if not it will be tomorrow for sure. Still haven't got Stormcoud yet and need to replace him and still on the hunt for more as well. And thanks for the complement on the new sig, it should have been better but i was in a hurry to do it....

WHAT'S UP EVERYBODY?! I'm up in northern Ohio and for whatever reason God deems necesary, we have like the closest thing to nothing that you can get!!! I'm not kidding... Wal - Mart, Target, Super-K, Toys 'R' Us even.... Nothing!! They bring out a new wave about once every two months or so and then it's wiped clean in a day and a half, they don't get any restocks and you're once again stuck waiting for two months till the cycle starts again! And of course you can't get a straight answer out of anyone shen they'll get more. IT'S FRIKIN' MADDENING!! It sounds like you guys got a lot more luck than I do. I'm totally cool with going out of town to get these guys, but I never know when to strike. Any help? It'd be appreciated!

Hey Jenus, went to walmart in moraine and they had some Hounds, Dinobots and a Smokescreen or 2 and nothing else. Hoping to find Stormcloud to replace him, but maybe ill hold out to get Vector Prime or Bruticus and then went to TRU and they had new deluxes like Cyclonus, hound, and cheetor, but nothing in voyager class. Target by the dayton mall and 1 Inferno and 1 Leo prime last night and no new deluxes. Well, thats my adventure after work today, i'll be going to another walmart later on to pick up some food in springboro and post what i see there. Keep me posted if anyone sees anything new..
Thanks to all

Good things come to those who have no choice but to wait, I guess... I found TFU Rodimus, Wheelie, and Warpath. They also had a couple of Bumblebees, cosmos (whom I wasn't looking for), and a couple TFA minis. I'm pretty stoked! Now I'm on a mad hunt for Wreck-Gar and Arcee as soon as she shows up. Oh, and to those looking for Infernos... We got about 4 or 5 per store up here, so come on up! GOOD HUNTING!

Hey has anyone seem Stormcloud at any walmart, i need a replacement to add to my collection! any clues?? or Vector Prime and my favorite Bruticus would gladly take Stormcloud place..

I haven't seen any Stormclouds, but we do have a good number of Treadbolts. I guess some people were having a hard time finding one. Hey, Stockade... Is the Bruiticus you're looking for the new Universe one, or pieces to the combiner? Just curious so I know what to look for.

Lucius Prime, Bruticus is the one im looking and he looks like this http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... /1691/1/0/ just keep me posted..

Well guys did my daily run, and here is what I came up with.

Target (Bellbrook)
1 Inferno
2 Overload's
1 Leo Prime

Wal-mart (Bellbrook)
1 Inferno
1 Overload
1 Powerglide (I haven't seen this guy to often)

Target (Miamisburg)
2 Atomic Lockdown's
1 Inferno
1 Overload

Meijers (West Carrollton)
2 Warpath's
2 Rodimus's

Still no Bruticus or Stormcloud.

You know what this reminds me of... That Monopoly game from McDonald's! They send a bit of the stuff up north, a bit down south and the rest over to California where all the expendable income is! (LOL) I'm not kidding, Jenus, you said you haven't seen too many Powerglides and my jaw dropped! Not only do I see Powerglide, but also his Decepticon repaint. As well as a bunch of Infernos and Mudflaps and the TRU up here has like 3 Unicrons for those of you who don't already have him... I like what what Jenus did and listed the ones he saw. I think I'll do that next time just to give you guys an idea of what's up here...

Oh, and a little off the subject, Has anyone seen any Star Wars Crossover Plo Koon Jedi Starfighters?

Hey Jenus, thanks for the foot work man, and well listing of everything you seen in this area. I'm off work tomorrow and heading to middletown and hoping to find something there like walmart, target and meijer in that area and then back home. Getting disappointed about this, cant find anything around here and pretty much TFU 2.0 series is winding down getting ready for the new movie coming which cant wait and getting some of the new figures as well, and NOT buying repaints, no extra money for them and no room either. I'll provide update when i get back. C-ya...

I got news that the TRU near me is getting a new shipment of Transformers on the truck tonight... I'm gonna head up there tomorrow morning and see what's new. I'm pretty excited, but then again, it could just be more of the same. Either way, I'll post and let you know of the outcome!

Yeah I've noticed that a lot. The TRU exclusives we still got a bunch of Jetstorm, Wingblade, Red Alert, and Mudflap repaints, but the Unicron figures are slowing dying down there is probably 3 to 5 at the two TRU's in are area. Thanks on the list, I try to only list the most recent stuff that has come out the other figures I'll only list if I notice someone is looking for that certain figure.

Also, what city are you in?

Thanks man, I hope you find something good down in Middletown. No more repaints for me as well unless there is something I'm looking for. My room is also starting to get a little crowded, I probably need to go to the Hardware store tonight and pick up a couple more shelves for my walls. Tonight I shall also be going up to the Beavercreek area to visit a friend hopefully I'll have a chance to stop by the stores and see what they have to offer. I'll let you guys no If I find anything NEW!!!

Jenus wrote:Still no Bruticus or Stormcloud.

Stormcloud? He's been out forever...But if you're still looking for him, check the KMarts in Kettering and Fairborn...They both have two or three as of a couple days ago...


I nabbed the last Inferno from the Bellbrook Walmart today...Didn't see any others or any Leos in the nearby area or in the beavercreek area...

But if anyone is at all interested...Walmart in Bellbrook has two full sets (two of each six) of the Transformers Fingerboards...They aren't with the TFs or even the Tech Deck stuff...They are on the aisle with all the random $1 stuff like rubber dinosaurs and such...

Went to middletown today, and hit walmart, target and meijer and mostly was TFU Dinobot, Hound, and cheetor nothing else and i wasted my time and gas, and besides that after going there i just hate middletown its dying faster than dayton is. anyway, went to target by the dayton mall and they had Overload and 2 Infernos, if anyone is interested. Does anyone know when the next big shipment is?? like bruticus, vector prime or even the TRU exclusives which i think one of them is Darkwind and countdown? Any information this would be great, for now just saving my money until i see something or until TF2 figures hit the shelves and i will need to make room for them.

Well... I did my massive search today of 4 Wal-Marts, 2 Targets, and 2 Toys R Us! They deffinately got stuff in, but it was the same stuff, just more of it... A couple new faces, but nothing I was looking for. Up until today, only one store had Safeguard, but now they all have him and about 4 per store, too. Oh, and STORMCLOUDS, STORMCLOUDS, STORMCLOUDS!!! I found 5 in two stores up here! And of course a number of Infernos still and right around a gazillion Mudflaps. I'm still no joy on Wreck-Gar or Samurai Prowl. And, Jenus... Avon, Elyria, Lorain and Westlake and North Olmsted are all in my area. I even check the Target in Lakewood. If there's anything anybody's looking for I have no problem pulling one off the shelf and leave it with customer service so no one takes it. Just let me know what it is and what name I should give them. The whole getting up here and buying it is, unfortunately, on you guys...
GOOD HUNTING!

I already own a Stormcloud, I just put that up because I was still looking for one for Stockade. Anyways the ones I'm still hunting for is Predacon Bruticus, Wreck-Gar, Waspinator, Samurai Prowl and the exclusives from TRU and Target when they come out.

Well man hopefully will see something soon. Those cities what county are they in, they sound familiar for some reason?

Man that stinks, I've only driven past Middletown along I-75 never actually driven within Middletown, I was thinking of taking visit there but from what you said I doubt I will now. Next time I go to TRU I'll see if I can find out some info on the exclusives from someone who works there, but I doubt they'll know anything. I really wish I new when the next big shipment was, it seems that the shipments at all the stores in our area have changed. Definitly can't wait till the TF2 figures start coming out, I bet it will be twice as hard to find those figures.

Oh, that reminds me, One of the Wal-Marts up here in Lorain County had all the fingerboards once. I grabbed the only Bumblebee they had. There were the Optimus and Megatron ones, too, but I've never really been into those two very much. And I've not seen those boards again. I'm also looking for TF Risk. I saw them all over the place and of courst I didn't buy one. And now they're gone. Dammit. I found plenty of the movie chess set, but I really want the Risk. I thought there was a TF Monopoly out there somewhere, also. Oh, well...

lucius_prime wrote:. I thought there was a TF Monopoly out there somewhere, also. Oh, well...

Yeah if anyone sees a TF Monopoly around the Dayton area, give me a hollar...Probably going to order it but if I can find one locally I'd greatly prefer that...


And the six fingerboards (for anyone who cares) are: Bumblebee, two Optimus Primes (one straighforward and one stylized), two Megatrons (that match the Primes), and another I'm not 100% sure on (the stylistic graphic design makes it hard to tell who exactly it is...Looks kinda like Grimlock but I'm not sure)

Hey everyone, i havent see anything for about a week or so, about ready to save my money for TF2 figures, but it will only be a select few though. If anyone sees anything pm me please.

PS still on the look out for Bruticus and vector Prime <- Primary

Well, I went ahead and got a Sentinel Prime. I wasn't going to, but that was the ONLY one I was missing from the Elite Guard collection. I got Longarm (Shockwave), and then I saw online that they have a purple version which would've been cool having the original color. oh, well... I don't even know what I'm gonna do when the ROTF figures start to come out!! There's still guys out there I'm looking for from the previous releases and now my job's gonna be a lot harder! The good news is, in the past, when the newer ones come out, all the old ones start to show up all over the place!
Okay, I got good news and bad news... I found a Leo Prime. The bad news: First, it's up here in North Olmsted near Cleveland. Second, there's only one. Third, that was two days ago and I couldn't post it cause I was away from my computer. Here's their number if you want to call and see if it's still there before you run out here: (440)414 - 0009 Sorry so late on the draw.

lucius_prime wrote: I got Longarm (Shockwave), and then I saw online that they have a purple version which would've been cool having the original color.

I see an easy solution there...Keep the gray one as Longarm for your Elite Guard...And get the purple one to display as Shockwave

typh0id wrote:I see an easy solution there...Keep the gray one as Longarm for your Elite Guard...And get the purple one to display as Shockwave

LOL... I got a pretty good size Hot Rod/ Rodimus display, I might do the same thing with my Shockwaves! I really like the KO Shockwave. If I didn't know it was KO, I wouldn't have even guessed it!

On another note... First weekend shipment of March left us disappointed. Although, I see the stores have moved things around to get ready for the new shipments!! Awesome!
Okay... What are some of the things you guys are looking for? I keep seeing different things pop up and I'm not sure who needs what to give you a shout-out. Just post and let me know, especially with the new stuff coming out. I'll have a unique perspective on things in the north. See, this is why I need a 3G phone... So I could post right there at the store when I see it, not 5 or 6 hours after I see it when I get home... Peace!

Well it's been about two weeks or more and still nothing new, no vector prime or Bruticus, in which this case dont know when they will arrive, and im hearing the end of march or first part of april, but not really sure about that. i think vector prime and bruticus will be the last 2 i buy from TFU 2.0, ill be saving my money for TF2 figures, which will be all the transforming constructicons, leader Prime and megatron and the fallen (if available) starscream, ramjet, skywarp and whirl and bludgeon , for sure!!!! sideways soundwave, sideswipe and i think thats it, NO REPAINTS!!! Only time will tell for whats coming out and what i get, and then i will let everyone know.

PS please keep me posted about Vector Prime & Bruticus Thanx
