you shitting me?
whereever you live, you get the waves like forever after even Norway... (here in Norway, we got the third wave with Bone(R)crusher and Swindle (Wave 3 = the crap) already)

that must suck to know that you get the longer wait than ppl in even Norway (we didnt get Armada figs before a year after, seriously, for one of many examples)

Strange, I got BC, but havn't seen any of the rest jet.
I live in Germany by the way.

No.. I think you are talking about the Robinson area? Although I am working about 4 minutes from there, I haven't checked. But the last time I was there... about a month ago... I had to ask them to look in the back to see if they had any... they were remodeling so they didn't put them out on the shelves. They are probably done remodeling so i would check there.

The ones I mentioned are about 40 miles West on I-70 from the Robinson area... If you know where Cabela's is, it is in that shopping area. BTW, the target there also have Elita One, Armorhide, and Air Raid... only about 3 of each though.

I have my own area.......Sweeet.

I've seen Swindle, too, in Germany, local Müller, they also have the Legends Starscream.
We are supposedly at Wave 3, maybe your area missed out on the second wave, toys selling too slow or badly timed.
I'm still searching for OP vs Unicron. Supposedly out since July, I only recently saw two of the packs from that wave, but the first wave is well stocked, the shop must have ordered really weird.

Wow, I gotta get to Elgin and fast. Got some particular stores I should hit first?

I was at the Target on Randall Rd just south of Rt. 20 on Sunday and they had three on the endcap. They've been there for a while.

As of two days ago, Walmarts and Targets in this end of Ohio are still empty. And I mean empty. Walmart didn't have a single transforming movie bot except for 1 Ultimate BB. Target had nothing but a couple of Ratchets, they were even sold out of the target G1 exclusives now, which they had quite a few of two weeks ago.

I'm starting a job with Walmart at the end of the week, maybe I'll get to be on the inside loop now.

i am jealous of you guys that have an excess of deluxes!

Just checked my Wal-Mart (Tennessee), they had full pegs. At least 15 CC BB's, several Arcee's, they even had Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker.

Looks like stuff is finally starting to hit out there, soooo sorry scalpers!

Still lots of bare shelves here in Cleveland (at least the west side). The only shelf warmers here are Ultimate BBs.

I'm holding out on him until they get put on clearance, which should be able 2010, judging by the time it took for Cybertron stuff to get clearanced. If I never get it, then no worries.

My Walmart has not sold ONE 20th Anniversary Prime. I'm waiting for clearance. They haven't had Deluxes in forever. They had a bunch of Classics a while back but those are already gone. The Walmart down the street has had some Alternators, at least. As for BBs warming the shelves, the only ones doing that are the Ultimate.

YOU IDIOT!

LOL.. don't worry... I already have one loose and one MISB... it's just I wanted to find one that was actually mint. I wouldn't have passed on them if I didn't have at least one

BTW ... if anyone wanted to know where they are.. they are at the Cabela's and Mall Road Walmarts off of I-70.

While that's a little bit of a haul for me (I live in Plain City and work in Hilliard), at least it's good to hear that SOME stores around central OH are getting SOMETHING. I've been staring at empty shelves for quite some time now. Looks like it's time to make a little trip tomorrow...

Thanks for the heads up! If you're ever in the market for something, I'd be glad to check my half of the city!

No, I think that is a fair call, 08 Bumblebee's are very badly painted, and it does detract from the figure, the paints apps can seriously be that bad.

Several of the Walmarts in Houston became fully stocked with deluxes TODAY.

My haul today included concept BBs, brawls, bonecrushers, scorponoks, and there were plenty more left including Swindle, Dropkick, and Dreadwing...

I now have a BB for my lil brother, a BB to keep MISB, and a BB to play with... (likewise for Brawl & Bonecrusher)

It was Christmas in Sept this evening...

I'm still missing Barricade though... sigh

Yeah, the Walmart near me (I'm in Dallas) was restocking the deluxes -- was able to snag a CC BB, and to top it off, it was priced at $7! Once my order from walmart.com arrives, I'll be able to keep one in robot mode and one in alt mode. Christmas in September indeed!

man I'll be glad when I can find him,...

and BoneCrusher...
and Brawl....
and IronHide...
and...

I can personally guarantee you he wont be warming any shelves here in Alaska!! We are way behind in shipping times tho we just barely got Leader Brawl.. I cant wait for the next deluxe and voyager shipment tho!!

QFT. I hear he stands 100 feet tall, and has fur as black as night. I had a friend who had a friend who knew someone who's next-door neighbor's cousin saw him eat an entire schoolbus.

I had a friend on that bus.

It's true, all of it.

Is he a triple changer?

Shelves are pretty cold here in Wisconsin, unless you count cyber slammers or real gears :p

Fixed! I blame it on the infusion of plastic crack!

Nope.

Concept BB sells in 30 minutes here.


Me bro got mine, left, came back a little later, and the tf shelves had been cleared.



This was at 9 o'clock in the morning.

I think the Drones are the local shelfwarmers
I have seen drones coming out of the wazoo around here.

I think this is great news... for that person that was wondering about the Walmart in Robinson .. near IKEA... I stopped there during lunch and they are stocked FULL. I stopped counting Concept Bumblebees after 20. That was just in one section... they have another section packed full as well.

There were tons of other deluxes that were over the 20 qty mark. Bonecrushers, arcees, barricades, and swindles, Leader Megatrons, Leader OPs, and Brawls... voyager OPs and Megatrons.

I talked to one of the workers and he said the boxes they received boxes that were nothing but Concept Bumblebees and that they had more that they were not able to put on shelves because they didn't have the room.

Pretty cool if you ask me!
