Sawmill Rd/Bethel Rd. Walmart (Carriage Place in NE Columbus) has restocked--Gen line, HftD, PCC--you name it, it's there as of this morning. Finally snagged a Drift, which I'm pretty happy about.

Late post here too--I swung by the TRU in Lima on my way out of town to Celina tonight, and lo and behold, they had MP Grimlock! Ah yeah...

Stopped by the Walmart in Celina, and they had two HA Jazz figs in as well. I took a pass on him--I figured $80 was enough for one night.

Glad to hear almost everyone has their MP Grimlock's. Does anyone here now have both the Takara version and Hasbro version to compare in quality? The only thing I like about the Hasbro version is it comes with his crown other than that I prefer my Takara version.

MP Grimlock is 1000 kinds of awesome--but mine seems a little loose, overall. Not floppy, but the joints aren't as tight overall as the other MP's I have (which are all Japanese, except for Starscream).

Well guys I stopped by a couple stores in Beavercreek, Belbrook, and the Centerville Miamisburg area though nothing really new except for HA Jazz. I checked only the Target and TRU in those areas and they had all the Generations, PCC, and almost all the HFTD figures. The HA Jazz was at the Target in Bellbrook off of Feedwire there were like 3 or 4 and the other place I saw him was at the TRU on Colerain and he was also available at the Wal-Mart on Colerain.

If any of you see the Animated Hot Rod or Ironhide let me know.

Also, I did see an HA Barricade at the TRU on Miamisburg-Centerville Rd. around 2 p.m. but when I went back around 6 p.m. to check into something he was gone.

Actually, that reminds me--there were a couple of HA Barricades at Celina's Walmart last night too.

Hey. It's me... LP... There's nothing really new up here, just more refills of the same stuff. I just wanted to stop by and say "Hi" more than anything else! So, now that I've done that, I can go... I'll definately post if I see MP Grimlock, or Rodimus, or Ironhide, or the Generations 3-pack from TGT.

Found something interesting today at Family Dollar on Patterson in Dayton. Remember the Transformers Universe Spychangers? They still have some in stock. They had Hoist (Clear blue pickup), Mirage (Clear green F1),Jazz (White viperish car),Prowl (Police car), and Camshaft (Clear red stockcar). Thought they were neat since they were made in 2006. Also found KO versions of some of the cyberjets. They were only 2 bucks and actually not that bad for the price.

Heads up!!! Some how i have acquired 2 HA Barricades for my collection (long story, if you wanna know PM me) anyway, I am returning the unopened one back to TRU by the Dayton mall today around 4:00 or so. If you want HA Barricade, he will be at TRU and he looks DAMN nice with HA BB and HA Jazz...

Picked up 2 Masterpiece Grimlocks at TRU in Columbus today (Groves Rd. location). Those were the only 2 I saw. If anyone has any unopened G1 25th aniversary they want to trade (Optimus, Insecticons etc) lmk.

Okay... in my opinion, you sould NOT have the extra $140 to spend on transformers in one shopping visit! LOL What do you do for a living, I think I need to switch careers! I saw those spychargers at our Family Dollar as well. I never post them cause I didn't think anyone was looking for them. But they are there none the less. They also have the KO G2 jets. Also some legends. Looks like Dollar General opened yet ANOTHER box of Universe scouts! How many do they have back there?! They have the set that has Scattershot, Cruelock, Brakedown, Backstop (the rhino), and Brushguard. All for $3.50. They had a Optimus/Megatron ultimate battle 2pack, but I picked one of those up. Who knows, they might have another one back there. Oh, and Rite Aid down the street still have wave 1 and 2 Animated deluxe. here's why... they're still $16.99!!!!! No, I am NOT kidding. But they are there if you want em! That's all from over here.

Well my first post in the Ohio sightings forum. Here's what I picked up at my Wal-Mart supercenter in Cortland,Ohio:

Generations Deluxe Class Thrust
Hunt for the Decepticons Scout Class Brimstone
Hunt for the Decepticons Scout Class Hubcap
Hunt for the Decepticons Human Alliance Jazz
PowerCore Combiners Destructicons
PowerCore Combiners Rallybots

They only had one of each of the Wave-2 five pack PCC. They had no voyagers, except a mess of ROTF voyagers, so I hope when they get the new Voyagers in they will have Battle Blades Optimus and Banzai-Tron.

Well, welcome to the forum of the obsessed Ohioans, Starscream! I'm not sure where you're coming from, but just this afternoon, I was at the Wal Mart on the corner of Rts. 58 and 20. They had Banzaitron, Battle Blades Optimus, PCC Icepick, and a good assortment of the other HTFD deluxes and voyagers.
I saw that there's a spot on the sightings page for Generations Blurr and the Dinobot PCC 5 pack! I like that... a lot. I can't wait for those! I know I'll get a leader Starscream, but it'll probably be when I get my income tax next year! LOL Well, that's all from me. I'll see y'all the next time around!

Hey guys!

I was just wondering if anyone had spotted the TRU exclusive Ironhide or Rodimus TFA figures yet locally? I drove down to the one on Montgomery Rd. Saw a MP Grimlock, but none of the new TFAs, just a bunch on Oilslicks and Ratchets. I went ahead and preordered Takara versions for myself to avoid the mess that happened with Arcee, but I would like to pick up the Hasbro versions to finish my nephew's animated collection for him.

Just came back from TRU by the Dayont mall and not much new there except 2 HA Barricades!!!! which was rare around this area, but finally TRU is getting them in...

by **Lucius Prime** » Sun Aug 22, 2010 5:53 pm

Just a quick note... I went to Dollar Tree in Sheffield Village, and I found REAL RPMs. Not some knock-off. They were actual RPMs. For only $1!! They only had the core characters, though. Prime, Bumblebee, Jetfire, and Ratchet. Still I thought it was cool to stumble across those!

Hey LP its still not confirmed yet about the the Genline 3-pack with Galvatron, Cyclonus and Hotrod yet!! So far, nothing has spilled if this will be a Target exclusive or not. The one topic I read about this 3pack said Target would NOT be getting them, so i wouldn't get you hopes up about them, but on the other hand, if Target does get them, you know what to do.... :grin:

Walmart on Harding Highway in Lima did a pretty good reset of their TF section--they had all of the GEN line, all of the single-pack PCC's (including Icepick and Leadfoot), and one each of HA Jazz and the new HA Bumblebee repackage.

I did finally grab HA Jazz today--AWESOME fig, but man, it's hard as hell to convert him from car to bot--the trunk section really pegs in tightly...

Hey Doc, its nice to finally hear from ya!! Glad you got Ha Jazz man and yes he is a badass and mine is tight as well when transforming him from car to bot mode. Is that the only HA figure you have or do you have more?
