Thought I'd check out Canadian (West Coast) Toy'r'us just for kicks, they told me (on the phone) that they have no record of anything TF:Prime yet. Canada is sooo sloow. Probably have to wait till end of Jan, soonest.

No Prime toys in Parma, Ohio. Ended up ordering them online since I had no idea when they will get them in. I was kind of disappointed in the selection of Transformers toys my TRU had.

Live in Marysville California (north of Sacramento) and got my hands on an Arcee, they had Bumblebee and Starscream but I'm waiting a bit. It was a good day when I found a Legion Class Soundwave (2 but I only bought one and it wasn't ringing up right to begin with) so I wasnn't expecting these Prime figures at our TRU yet.

Called several Ohio and PA stores, because the distribution centers are in Columbus (which is where most of TRU.com ships from) and another in Youngstown. Other than the Columbus one, which mainly works for the .com than anything else, there are no Prime toys in the entire state of Ohio. They're coming, just not there yet.

PA...no idea as to when they'll even be available.

I actually found both Bumblebee and Arcee at the Toys R Us at Leesburg Pike, Baileys Crossroads! There were three BBs more, and the store guy said there's a chance a new shipment arrives tonight. Good luck!

Hey fellow Seibertronians...

Picked-up BB, Arcee and Starscream at TRU in Humble, Tx. Almost didn't find them since theu were just tossed on shelf with DOTM shelfwarmers.

FYI... fancy packaging is affirmative AND they all come with DISPLAY STANDS. didn't see anyone mention that.

I hope Cliffjumper and Voyagers are right behind...may have to use layaway if they pop up before next payday lol

Would anyone be willing to pick up these three for me? We can work out the finer details and pricing in PM.

Layaway? I didn't even know TRU did that. lol. Is it an online thing or in-store?

Sat Nov 19, 2011 1:53 pm

I didn't either, i have no idea what thats about

Sat Nov 19, 2011 1:55 pm

Iowa royally sucks! I think the closest TRU is at least two hours away! :-(

Does anyone know if the first edition stuff is only going to be available at Toys R Us or has anyone seen it at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or Target? Cuz I need that Arcee like I need oxygen and peanut butter sandwiches!

Nope not for a while, sorry

you'll either have to hold your breath/eat/something else/just wait for arcee, or you can get it online from TRU.com or somewhere else

Fyi...layaway is in store. Look at TRU website for info.

It's also, as I understand it, seasonal only.

Some stores do it year round, now. Ask customer service for more details.

Still gettin' my peanut butter! Got a friend picking me up some distilled Arcee awesome! I already got her in the NYCC pink, but blue trumps all!

But seriously the TRU monopoly on some of my most desired TFs is getting kind of old. I had to wait till Botcon to get an Animated Arcee, and I had to have a friend get me Animated Ironhide.

I just got Bumblebee and Arcee! I saw Starscream there, and I think my mom bought him as a Christmas present for me. She was trying to hide something in the trunk of the car after we walked out of the store. Anyone know when the Voyagers are coming out, or if they're supposed to be out now? Because I need to know if I should take these 2 back and Get Optimus instead. I ain't got money to keep all three.

Keep the receipt

I think you have 30 days to return it, might even be more what with the holiday shopping kicking in. If the voyagers come out before Christmas (which they probably will since toy sales suck after x-mas because parents have no money) return them and get Voyager Prime

Active DPCIs at Target

Deluxe: 087-06-2684 $11.99
Voyager: 087-06-0807 $19.99
Entertainment 2-Pack: 087-06-0734 $24.99

Apparently they're meant for the next reset. So...if this is true, what does this say about BBTS's statement about specialty markets?
