I stopped by the TRU near Polaris in Cbus yesterday--pretty much the same stuff that the Lima TRU had. I stopped at the Lima store this morning, and they said that their next truck will arrive next Wed., with stock out at opening that same morning. Hoping for MP Grimlock then...

The store manager told me yesterday that most TRU's are sharing trucks to save on fuel expenses and she said their TRU is getting trucks on Wednesday and Thurdays, which is a good thing, but the buy 1 and get 1 half off sale ends tomorrow, so most likely ill order Sea Spray and Payload tomorrow evening if i dont see these guys around the cincy area. Thanks for the info Doc.

I stopped by the Toys R Us on Gemini Place in Columbus on my way through. I picked up a Seaspray. They had a Night Ops Ratchet, Seaspray, Payload, Jetblade, and Battle Hook OP. Still no sign of Leader Class Starscream.

Happy "Hunt"ing!

Hey Prime Fan I met these 2 collectors over this past weekend and they both found LC SS at TRU off of colerain avenue and i think it was spotted at the other TRU at Eastgate mall. Just an FYI for ya bud... Please let me know if you find Drift and Thrust locally...

Nothing new at the Lima TRU. I'll stop by there again on my way back into town just in case.

So I did some more checking, got MP Grimlock's store item #, and called Lima's TRU to see if they could give me any of the inside skinny. Sadly, nothing promising--she looked up the number and said that their warehouse hasn't even received it yet. Maybe that August 1st date was the real target after all...

If anyone wants it to check their local stores, Grimlock's info is:

Item #: 354815
SKU: 8601623E
UPC/EAN/ISBN: 653569494287

TRU by D-mall has zero of anything new, no truck today per TRU employee.

This TRU did have 3 or 4 TFA Ratchets and one GI Joe Shipwreck.

And thanks for the tip about MP Grimmy Doc much appreciated

As of 3:00 yesterday TRU by the Dayton mall has HFTD BBBB, Deluxes IH and Sea attack Ravage and Jetblade. Theres nothing else, no Genline and no PCC's either. Hopefully next week this TRU does ALOT better stocking stuff. Sorry for the late post...

Stopped by TRU in Beavercreek before work today but they had absolutely nothing new. IMO the WFC Prime should have been a voyager figure.

News Credits: 1 · by **Shokwayve** » Sat Jul 10, 2010 3:53 pm

Just got back from TRU in Miamisburg and hit the mother load. Not only did they have the HFTD deluxes but also HFTD Leader, Voyager, and Legends classes. Also have the first wave of PCC.

HFTD Leader Class
Starscream - 2
Battle Hook Prime - 2

Voayger -
Payload - 1
Seaspray - 0 - Picked one up
Night Ops Ratchet - 1

Deluxe
Ironhide - 6 or 7
BB Bumblebee - 6 or 7
Sea Attack Ravage - 6 or 7
Jetblade - 4 left - Picked one up

Legends
Ravage - 0 - Picked one up
Red Rampage - 1

Prime - 1

PCC 5-PK
Bombshock - 1 - Picked one up
Skyburst - 2

PCC 2-PK
Huffer - 2
Smolder - 2

I also have noticed that a lot of stores may get a truck in Tues thru Thur but may not stock newer stuff for the weekend. Hope this helps everyone.

TRU by the Dayton mall as of 7/11/2010 noon, has 2 Hooks Prime, 1 LC SS, PCC Smolder and 1 PCC combers Skyburst and many BBBB, Sea Attack ravage, Deluxe Ironhide and Jetblade. Oh they have 2 Mindwipes as well....

After seeing some pics of the 2 pack combiners like Smolder and Huffer, i thought of getting like 1 or 2, but after seeing these guys in person, they seem really small for the price of $10.00. I feel these should be like $7.00 or something, but thats me. Pass for the PCC 2packs and the combiners altogether for me. Not worth it and good try Hasbro.

Hey everyone,
Went back to TRU yesterday and saw that they currently have a BOGO sale going on Transformers. Offer is online as well and get free shipping on orders over $100 or more. Bought a couple of the PCC two packs. Smolder and Huffer are both really nice figures. I think this line will be hit and miss though. Next, MP Grimmy in August. Good luck.

Nothing new at the Lima TRU. They're completely out of the PCC box sets, and only have a few of Smolder, Searchlight, and Huffer. No Drift or Thrust from Generations, either, but plenty of the HFTD Voyagers and Leaders.

News Credits: 2 · by **Stockade** » Fri Jul 16, 2010 5:53 am

Sorry for the late post, but as of 4:30 yesterday TRU by the Dayton mall didn't have anything!! just a few HFTD deluxes hanging around. No WFC, No Genline and No PCC 2pack or 5packs anywhere...

by **Beericade** » Fri Jul 16, 2010 8:28 pm

I've been in Kohl's in Wooster and Mansfield. Both had all the new scout figures. They also had Sea Attack Ravage aplenty. We picked up Hubcap and Brimstone today from there. We also checked the TRU in Mansfield as well and they had (2) Hooks Prime, (1) Payload, (1) Seaspray, (1) Night Ops Ratchet, and some PCC doubles. We picked up the Seaspray and Payload. As for Walmart in Wooster and Millersburg they are both busts. They only have the older stuff with no HFTD in stock at all. That has to be the most frustrating deal of all. I had no idea that Kohls sold anything until reading here. Learn something new everyday.

Looks like K-Mart is starting to get new stuff in, the one in Riverside had PCC 2pks and 5 pks. They also had a handful of the HFTD Deluxe figures.

Decided to stop by Walmart by the Dayton mall this morning before heading to work to see if they had at least something new, still same old, same old, with Deluxes at $9 each, same voyagers thats been around since this time last year and i did see 4 or 5 of the Fearswoop packs thats it...

Bill--welcome to the boards! Where did you find the Drift and Thrust figures at? A bunch of us in this part of the state still haven't seen them in stores yet.

by **Beericade** » Sat Jul 17, 2010 4:18 pm

I did some poking around the Walmart site after hearing about the HA Jazz and found their new listings. Go to Walmart Listing (Link) and scroll all the way down. Bugger the Jazz is sold out already.
