That's if you have a Gabriel Brother's near you. I hadn't even heard of it until you posted that. Lol and there isn't a store withing a 200 mile radius of me.

Though I think Walmart has been having it at around $60 and paying $10 more is certainly better than the rush.

On my end, I figured I'd be up so why not head to Toys R Us for 9:30 or 10 pm, if I even want to after eating sleep-inducing turky. If there a line to get in then (after it's been open for a bit), well hey, I'll leave. Lol. My car needs to get driven more often anyway otherwise things like the breaks go bad faster xP None of these toy deals are really all that "OMG, must go now!" worthy.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I spoke to a Hasbro rep recently and they mentioned that the last wave of PCC will be released again so seeing the hard to find figures on Black Friday would not surprise me.

O for... I knew I should have stayed longer!

If that's true someone had better grab me one of these:

1) Grimstone with Dinobots
2) Over-Run with Stunticons
3) Undertow with Waterlog

Heavytred with Groundspike
Skyhammer with Airlift
Salvage with Bomb-Burst

Mudslinger with Destructicons
Double Clutch with Rallybots (2nd version with the fixes)

I already have everything else.

Just like they were going to find a place for the RTS guys that we didnt get. plus i doubt that every store is going to be getting them if they are to be re-released since PCC sold like crap & HA is currently clogging shelves worse than the first wave of PCCs did.

Double Clutch had a fix? What's the story with that guy? The one I have is the biggest TF turd I own.

The Target one is pretty good, but I don't want any DOTM Voyagers. Oh well, my family/I never go out on Black Friday anyway.

I don't know how long that deal is running, but last year or so when they were selling the PCC 5 packs, my local Targets had PLENTY of those to go around later in the day Friday.

Yeah, WHATSUPWITDAT? How can we tell if it's fixed or not? I could use another Heavytread as the hip joint broke on my Groundspike; damn clear plastic

Double Clutch and one of his drones were subject to no less than 5 retools between the two. On Double Clutch the numerous tabs and holes were adjusted for a better fit (but don't entirely solve the problems), while the red Drag Racer drone had a tab lengthened to fix the autotransform feature.

And just to add more fuel to the fire, 5 below has Scouts on sale for $5 bucks, and guess who is the figure shown, but none other than everyones favorite hard to find scout, Reveal the Shield Windcharger! Here is the ad scan, he is on page 2!

http://www.blackfriday.info/sales/five- ... ay-ad.html

I stopped into my local 5 below, and they didn't have any of the Black Friday ad stuff out yet, so it may be a decent place to stop in and check on that morning. I am really hoping to find the Demolition Rumble wave there.

I hope BBTS has some good deals, I'm planning on picking up 2010 Primus VERY soon.

For those wondering, TRU officially said all their Black Friday deals will be available online. Here's the article :

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/toys-r-us-unveils-doorbusters-160800536.html

If TRU does what they usually do, spending $75 or more will get you free shipping. I'd check though if you're interested in buying from them as I'm not sure what their shipping policies will be on the 24 / 25th.

Oh wow. I definitely got stuck with one of the crappy early ones! Just my luck, too.

I can't find a single PCC where I live... Will Walmart be getting more? I didn't see them on the site and I REALLY want to take advantage of that deal.

Good news for those of you who are still on the hunt for that ever so elusive Reveal the Shield Scout Class Windcharger and live the vicinity of a Five Below. Seibertron member --B-- has let us know that their Black Friday ad features Scout class figures for $5.00 and apparently Windcharger is among them.

guess where im goin...........

No Five Below in the bay area but if someone can pick up an extra Windcharger and sell me one at a decent price (not ebay rape dollars), I would be greatly appreciative!!

I'm working midnight to 8am Thanksgiving Thursday!

If anyone from the Rockford area is gonna attempt hitting up the Five Below by the TRU -First Aid I'm looking at you lol- Could you pick up an extra Windcharger if they have it, IF you're gonna go?

I'm going to guess that showing Windcharger in the ad simply means that he'll be on sale IF they happen to have any in stock. All such offers are while supplies last, therefore no store is at fault if supply runs out before the sale even starts, or if they just never happened to get that particular case in.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but just because they have Windcharger in the advert, doesn't mean they'll have him in stock.

I have check my local five below a few times, and they do not have any of the black friday sales items on the floor. And if they do, they have a pallets worth. I doubt we will see much there, but I really hope to snag some Windchargers and Rumbles to send out to my Seibertronian brothers and sisters.

Especially the sisters, wink wink.

Good lucky with Rumble then, he was never released, remember?

Well holy ****. It's about time these things start showing up.

Maybe that means Wal-mart really does have all those rare PCC 2-packs and 5-packs. One can hope...

Come on guys, I can dream can't I??? I have a Windcharger that I didn't pay an arm and a leg for, but I know a lot of guys who don't so I will be on the look out. And I wouldn't mind a extra one for on my desk, he is a an awesome mold.
