Lucius--good to see you on here again. You know, from what I recall of the 2007 toys that the Findlay Kohl's had, it was mostly later stuff--Camshaft, Salvage, etc. No clue if they've changed their stock since then.

Has anyone tried calling their local TRU's and giving them MP Grimlock's item/SKU number? It's been over a week since I tried the one in Lima, and it might give us some indication of when he's coming out.

Hey Doc, I havent checked my local TRU yet, but the only thing im hearing which is alot about MP Grimmy is that he could be available on Aug 1st, 3rd or the 8th, so i dont know which date is the good one, but i know he will be showing up soon. And yes the next time your heading down to dayton/miamisburg/centerville area let me know and we'll head out to amar india and have some awesome food, but theres like 4 more Indian restaurants that we can check out if you want too. Just drop me an email or txt sometime when your in this area.

Had to go to Beavercreek area today and stopped at a few stores to check on things.

Wal-Mart had nothing new. Shocker.

TRU had HFTD deluxes and i asked about when they would be restocking their Generations figures. Said that they would be getting a truck in this Friday. Why does that store never clearance anything? If anyone is interested i would be willing to split the cost of a Gathering at the Nemesis set. Really want the blue Soundwave and i already have The Fallen. Drop me a line.

Target had the PCC 5pks and 3pks and the pegs and shelves were full of them. They also had the HFTD Voyagers stocked: 2 Seasprays, 1 NO Ratchet, and 1 Payload.

Meijer on Colonel Glenn had nothing which is what i was expecting.

So Target is finally getting the new stuff in that's nice to hear I'll need to get my hands on another Huffer because of some issues with him as well as another Thrust, all the Thrust I saw at TRU on Saturday had a perfect right wing and a sloppy left wing.

One question by 3pks did you mean 2pks?

Also for everyone that has WFC Prime and Bumblebee, how are they?

Lastly, Doc glad to hear you picked up Drift and in Dayton none the less within a few miles away from Stockade and myself well maybe not miles from Stockade.

Yea, meant 2pks. Really like the WFC Bumblbee and the WFC Prime is good too. However Prime would have been alot better as a Voyager class imo. I had issues w/ a Seaspray that i picked up. One, it had no missles w/ it and the left arm is really loose and keeps falling straight down to his side. If i find another one next week or two proabably pick it up. Low on funds this week.

Yeah would have been nice if Prime was a voyager and Megatron as well. Hopefully Takara does their own version of the WFC figures sometime in the future they always seem to top Hasbro on the paint apps.

Hasbro is really starting to slack off in the qc area and I know it's been bad in the past but it seems to be getting worse. Lately if I pick up more than one figure I'll always have one with a problem and if it's not me I always here a collector from the same area have the same problem. No missiles! how can they forget the accessories I've maybe seen once where Hasbro left out a weapon can't remember what figure it was though.

Well if you see a Huffer or Thrust in the Dayton Mall, Beavercreek, or Sugarcreek area let me know and I'll watch out for another Seaspray for you.

As for the funds aren't we all. I pretty much have already spent all my extra funds for August and were not even in that month yet don't I fell ashamed of myself.

Did some poking around in the Medina area today. I managed to score a HA Bee at Target and noticed they are in the midst of a reset. They had one Leader Starscream, a heap of PCC two and five packs as well as the little ledgends.

Checked Walmart and they had old stock. Only thing of possible interest was three Masterpiece Skywarps for $30 on sale.

Popped into TRU as well. Expected a sale as posted on site and found none at all. They did have two NoghtOp Ratchets, a Payload, and a Seaspray. Also various delux class but no Drift or Thrust. Also, a mess of legends class. The wife is taking a shine to those for some reason. Only Leader class they had was three hooks prime.

hey iv seen plenty huffers around at 2 kmarts there was at least like 10 and some at the beavercreek tru had a couple as well. Every one says they see seaspray i never find him! idk my work schedule got me messed up for the hunting game im scared when mp grimlock comes out ima b out of luck because of my hours.

Hey there, guys! Doc, thanks for the list... I got Camshaft and I wasn't really interested in the latter ones they started to come out with. And Sileny, My wife is the same way! LOL You should've heard her when I brought home Legends Ravage! "Oh, he's so cute!" Hey, I could have a wife that wants me to put them all away in a closet, so no complaints here! I haven't opened my WFC Bumblebee yet for lack of time. That's all from me for now... CAN'T WAIT FOR FRIDAY! (pay day)

I'm with Jenus--my TF funds are nearly spent. MP Grimlock is a promise to myself, but after that, I might have to wait for a couple of months. We're getting some remodeling done at home, and it's going to eat up our spare money fast.

Doc i know what you mean, most likely we will be installing and new front door soon and blowing in insulation before winter hits and i have money saved up from months few back and sold some old GI Joe to a collector in Cincy and got nice chunk of cash, but thats already spent on Takaras Unicron, God Primus and Predaking thats coming out and now im going through some Starwars stuff to sell, but i have a goal and that is to finish my Classics Henkei line and G1 Encores by the end of the year and ill be done for awhile after that...

So I called the TRU in Lima and had them check MP Grimlock's item #. She said that the warehouse has an open order for him now, but has not yet received any stock. Has anyone tried contacting their local TRU's to see if they have any status updates? His item # is 354815.

Well I have no interest in picking up Grimlock since I have the Takara version but I'll give the TRU in Miamisburg and Beavercreek a call and see what they have to say.

They normally ask me for a UPC so I'll have to look that up before I call tomorrow.

Hey.. JUST got off the phone with TRU here in Elyria. Gave him the item number and he looked it up for me. He said that the warehouse has an open order for 650 PIECES!! He also told me that no single store has them in stock and that they are not ready to distribute yet. Finally, he said that it'll be two weeks or a little over and he should be there... OURS FOR THE TAKING!!!

A lady from TRU pretty much told me the same thing but she said it would most likely be three to four week into August for the Dayton area. She said something about the system shows an update for every two weeks what is coming in and he was not listed for this week or next.

Well--I guess these are some signs of positive movement on getting him, right?

TRU in Lima restocked today--mostly TF2 Voyagers. They still don't have Drift or Thrust in stock yet.

Kinda looking for HA Barricade and really wanting HA Jazz. any help would be great... if no one can find them no big deal.

Legends Megatron fits in MP Starscream/Skywarp's hand! Just in case you didn't know that. NERD ALERT!! My favorite dinosaur is parasaurolophus. That new Dinobot PCC has one!!! It also has my wife's favorite dino, too... the ankylosaurus. That is gonna be a buy for the whole family! LMAO Wow... I just need to frikin win the lottery. THere's too too many coming out that I want. Enough from me... sorry about the ramble.

Stopped by TRU in Beavercreek right before they closed tonight. They had the Generations in and i was able to pick up a Thrust and Drift. Also, picked up a new Seaspray to replace the one i found earlier. There was only 1 Thrust left, 2 WFC Primes, and 1 WFC Bumblebee. The paint apps on both Thrusts were good. They still had 2 Seasprays, 1 Payload, and 2 NO Ratchets. They also had the 2pk PCC figures in as well, pegs were full. They also had the new scout class figures. Hubcap and Brimstone are great figures to pick up. Had the new HFTD legends too. Now waiting for MP Grimlock. Later everyone.

Some of you guys in the Amish Country area might like some good news. I just blew through Wooster Walmart and found they are now stocking HFTD Voyager class. They had Bonzaitron, Payload, and Seaspray. I checked Kmart and came up disappointed. Kohls had the same deluxe class items I mentioned before as well as scouts.

Millersburg Walmart had Blades Prime, Bonzaitron, Payload, and Seaspray. Prime went home with me for a friend overseas.

I'm looking for HA Jazz like everyone else. I'm stuck working and at home though until Monday.

Darn and it's got to be the one weekend I won't be in that area, I guess I'll have to wait for another Thrust with good paint apps because I don't think that one will stick around till next Friday.
Hopefully the TRU in Miamisburg will do like they did last weekend where they brought out the HFTD and PCC on Wednesday or Thursday of last week and then put out the Generation figures on Saturday. So far it has gone the same way as last week I'll be crossing my fingers.
