Hey man if your looking for leader class Megatron check the K-mart in Fairborn, last time I checked there they had 2 of them. I'll check again tomorrow when I drop my little brother off in Fairborn.

I checked Aldi's out in Riverside they had nothing at all, but the one in Kettering seem to have a couple of Animated Universe Legends. Besides those two the only other Aldi's stores I know about is the one on 741 and the one on Wilmington Pike, didn't have time to check them but I'll try check them out tomorrow.

Nah... their stock usually empties out pretty quickly. They don't keep anything for long. In fact, Aldi's was the first place I ever even saw the first movie deluxe figures! How's that for weird, they beat TRU! I've never seen anything above deluxe before, and they ususally don't carry any transforming transformers. It's usually just a bunch of Transformers licensed stuff. I think they just have new stuff like that cause of Easter coming up.
On the other hand, the WM up here had leader class Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Brawl in the clearance isle for the longest time untill finally someone bought them. Now they're gone. Now they have the 25th Anniversary G1 Prime there and they got a whole lot of them.

Stockade, the K-mart in Fairborn still has 2 of the leader class Megatron but they were 44.99 and not 39.99. No wonder K-mart doesn't get a lot of business half their stuff they carry is 1 to 5 dollars more, the only thing good they have there is Craftsman tools.

They also had:

Mighty Muggs Megatron - 1
Mighty Muggs Soundwave - 1
Sideswipe - 3
K-mart Exclusives - 4

Thats pretty much all I can remember. I might think of buying another Sideswipe just to get his gun for Red Alert, don't really care for the chrome weapons. I hope BTS comes out with a set of their weapons on the side so you don't have to buy the trailer.

If anyone sees a Deluxe Galvatron let me know, I finally decided to add him to my collection, typhoid talked me in to him.

I also stopped by the Target and Wal-mart in Beavercreek.

Kool thanks Jenus and do you know if its the premium version Megatron? and i know what you talking about kmart being high on stuff and even today i went to another kmart in springboro and saw leader class Brawl/Devastator (green one) and it was 50 bucks! so passed on him and now trying to convince the wife to let me get vector prime and bruticus but dont know what will happen? oh well, keep me informed on anything new and thanks again..

I'm REALLY regretting passing up Leader Movie Brawl...If anyone sees him let me know (and not the Desert Attack one either, the regular one)!

Sorry I forgot to mention it's not the premium leader class megatron it's just the original megatron.

Well if you want to pay 50 bucks for him you can pick him up at the K-mart in Springboro that Stockade spotted or you can get him through HTS for $48.09 with the TF2009 discount code, or you can even wait till summer and probably get him for cheaper when Hasbro tries to get rid of their remaining TF movie stock.

Well you know I try not to order stuff when I can avoid it, but Springboro huh? I'll have to think about that...

Oh yeah sorry about that I guess I forgot.

I noticed earlier when I was at the Wal-mart in Moraine they had a couple of boxes with the name Hasbro Transformers on it near the toy Ilse, I'll check again tomorrow morning if I get up early enough before I go to work.

Hey Jenus, let me know about those boxes from walmart and if theres anything good and just order vector prime and predacon bruticus from HTS, both only cost me around 50 buck with regular shipping and bruticus will be here friday, but vector prime will be delayed. Premium leader class megatron, i'll think i'll wait until around x-mas or when hasbro has the 25% off code again and pick him up and maybe some others. Anyway, still can't wait for the new stuff which is suppose to be around May 25 or 26!!!! and buy movie tickets 2 weeks in advance... Good luck hunting everyone

I really hate that Moraine Walmart is usually the first place to get new stuff...There are 3 Walmarts, 3 Targets, 2 Toys R Us's, and 3 Meijers ALL almost directly reaschable on my daily trip work and home...Moraine Walmart is the ONLY one that's COMPLETELY out of my way...I've never been able to find a reasonable way to work into my regular path

Well glad to here you got both Vector Prime and Bruticus. I was ready to put an order through to HTS but they did not have Cosmos or Wreck-Gar so I guess I'll wait a little longer.

Sorry for the late reply guys didn't wake early enough. Anyway all they had was more animated stuff nothing new just a bunch of Wave 4 and the Jetfire & Jetstorm pack and nothing at all for Universe.

I was so looking forward to the new wave of Star Wars Crossovers to come out. I love Plo Koon (jedi) and he was one of the new ones. My wife ran into a Target up here and got one for me. She said there were only 2 and that was the only one from the new wave. STILL NO JOY ON WRECK GAR!! I spoke to a Hasbro rep at WM today and she said, "I don't know when the new ones are coming out. Usually you collectors know before we do..."There were, however, plenty of Sunstorms, and the one WM I went to, litterally the whole shelf was covered in Safeguard! Oh, well, the search goes on. GOOD HUNTING!

YES! VICTORY IS MINE! I NOW OWN A TFA WRECK-GAR! There was only one there and my wife's brother found it for me. I was all the way across town and he called and asked if we were still looking for it... So I bolted over to the TRU and there he was!!! Man, that's awesome! All the waiting finally paid off. Sorry, I'm not gloating, I just like to share my joys with others. Oh, I don't know if someone's looking for Sunstorm, but he's up here along with purple Shockwave. That's the only new ones. Anyways, GOOD LUCK GUYS!

Have you guys seen the legends warpath, cyclonus and wheelie anywhere? I check the Target and Walmart on wilmington pike often (live close) and ive not seen them.

Hey guys I stopped by the Target in Bellbrook after work and I finally found Wreck-Gar haven't opened yet but I'm so glad I've acquired him and I also got my first Mighty Mugg figure Optimus Prime.

Target
4341 Feedwire Rd
Bellbrook, OH 45440


Here is what else I saw

2 - Atomic Lugnuts
1 - Shockwave
2 - Overloads
Mighty Muggs Grimlock - 1 (The first sighting of him and I can't add him since Seibertron doesn't have this Target listed )
Mighty Muggs Optimus Prime- 2
Mighty Muggs Megatron- 2
Mighty Muggs Bumblebee- 3
Mighty Muggs Soundwave- 1

Also, Typhoid I finally stopped down at TAF, best place I've been to so far that carries Transformers plus the owner is a real cool guy and sure does know lot. He also told me about a Comic Con going on over at Wright State University on April 5th. Thanks Typhoid!

Well went to wal-mart in springboro and didnt see anything and went to Target by the dayton mall and they had a couple of SS and overload and 1 Heavyload and 2 Silverbolts and not much else. Hey Jenus i got Predacon Bruticus yesterday and he's a bad mo'fo just an awesome looking Transformer at best and on Tuesday ill have Vector prime and now i have to hold off for awhile, i need those billy book shelves from Ikea so i can make room, its sad most of my TF's are on 2 shelves in my computer room closet and i would like to show them on the shelves and i just need 2 i think, then well see. Of course cant wait for TF ROTF figures, but you know that and i think all of us should work together as the release date gets closer. Anything new out there let me know and still keeping an eye out for Countdown and Darkwind, which ill get Countdown first, pickup Darkwind later on. Happy hunting!!!

Awseome man...yeah that guy is way cool And I was thinking about cheking out the con at WSU if I'm free...

Walmart on Harding Highway here in Lima was mad stocked with Universe Overloads and Infernos. Still no sign of animated Wreck-Gar in my neck of the woods (Lima and Findlay), but if I see him, I'll holla here.

Congratulaions you guys on finally getting your hands on those ones you were looking for! Feels pretty good, huh? I see some new names in this thread that I haven't seen before, so "hi" to you guys, too! I posted some sightings in the sightings forum (no... really?). They're nothing brand new or exciting, but it'll at least tell you where they are around here. And who's this dude you're talking about, Typhoid, at TAF? If that place is so cool, I think I might want to go and have a look! I'd make for a nice drive anyway... Could you maybe give me some directions, or can I just MapQuest it? Let me know, either way! Thanks!

TAF is downtown dayton on the corner of St. Claire and 4th...He doesn't advertise at all, rather getting his business through word of mouth...That allows him to keep the amount of "casual customers" low so that everyone and their dog aren't coming in bugging him all day and he can cater more to the hardcores like us ...But his little store is amazing and he has damn near everything...It's not real cheap but it's there ...And he has other stuff than just Transformers but TFs are his specialty...Owner's name is Tien...

I went to TAF in downtown dayton today. Thank you for bringing that store up, it was incredible. Its down the street from where I work, i grabbed a masterpiece Grimlock and drooled all over the floor. good time. peace

Hey guys! anyone find anything new yet? causei haven't, just got Predacon Bruticus and Vector Prime from HTS and i'll post pics soon.
really about the only thing to look forward to before the movie line hits is Red alert, Countdown and Darkwind and then its on for the hunt for ROTF figs and i hope everyone gets what they want when March 27th rolls around.

PS Hotshot from the Henkei line looks kool, thinking about him, but still not sure yet...

I picked up a Wreck Gar from Walmart the other day but it was craptacular...Not the figure itself, but the one I got had crazy loose parts and this weird glob of what appeard to be superglue stuck to it...It didn't look like it had been opened at all, and the glue wasn't in any spot where it might have been meant to hold something together...But either way, I sadly returned him and am on the hunt once more...

Salivating over Countdown's immenent release though...That fine piece of rocketlaunching robot will be mine the second I see him...

Typhoid, man im with you brother on Countdown release for TRU and i wonder when that will be? Any clues anyone? Countdown and Darkwind release dates or possibly maybe at the end of April? hopefully, maybe......

Just letting everyone know that as of about an hour ago, the TRU in Beavercreek has a crap-ton of Universe Ratchets and Hot Shots...And a couple more Wreck Gars too...

They had a Mighty Mugg Grimlock...But he belongs to me now >:D
