My Generations wave 1 set arrived today (a nice surprise, since I dind't receive the dispatch notification email until I got home from work )

I think they're all great, but damn, Drift is just a bundle of awesome

[Galvatron X]

Awwww, yeah!

Leader Starscream
Generations Thrust
Generations Drift


TRU is also doing a BOGO 50% off for deluxes, so I got a discount! Strange, though. There was no sign that advertised it. They also had WFC O.Prime, WFC Bumblebee, Jetblade, Sea Attack Ravage and PCCs.

Hell, they even got in Wave 1 of G.I.Joe POC (Wolf Hound and H.I.S.S. Tank V.5). They were all out of H.I.S.S. Tanks, though.

Yes, I do think I'll be going back tomorrow...

It's sweet to see new stuff at TRU!

[aznrevlazn]

Picked up 4 Arcees and 4 Ratchets thanks to Toys R Us B1G50%.
Time to make some money...



I plan on picking up maybe more.

adding to my haul today:

Leader Starscream
2 Power Core Combiners 5 packs

and to add:

Smolder
Searchlight
Legends Ravage (BEST LEGENDS EVER)



Keeping my eye out for Huffer and SeaSpray. An obvious collector has been visiting my TRU, all the good figure are all gone XD. Guess i'll have to start waking up 5 minutes earlier on Wednesday's now

No honor in this hobby, is there...


Anyway, the only thing I've purchased lately is IDW's Transformers: For All Mankind TPB, because new TFs STILL haven't showed up over here.

[Hip-Hoptimus Rime]

YES! Leader Starscream, PCC Smolder and Huffer, and Dlx Ironhide.

Starscream is eNORmous and incredibly detailed. I may open him up to disconnect his voice, as it is just plain silly. The PCCs are great, small but detailed and nicely poaseable. Ironhide Jr. is great too.

[godzill216]

Finally found a Generations Thrust... I hope Red Alert won't be this difficult to find when his wave hits shelves...

[grimdragon2001]

this week i got a promotion at work so i celebrated by getting

HFTD Bumblebee
Generations WFC Bumblebee
Generations WFC Optimus Prime
PCC Huffer

hope Thrust and Drift hit my TRU soon

[Cobalt Prime]

Well, this past week I was able to pick up Payload, Seaspray, DX Ironhide, Jetblade, WFC Prime and Bee, Huffer, Smolder, and Searchlight all at a tidy savings thanks to the TRU BOGO promo.

Funny thing, though. Y'All-Mart and Target here haven't shown hide nor hair of the new stuff. Usually they have the new formers first and TRU follows months later after everyone's bought them elsewhere.

IIRC this same thing happened with Classics 2.0

The first wave was on tru shelves well before anywhere else

Indeed - took a look at his sig and blood began to boil;

'I am the guy that buys the figures you want and sell them to you for twice to 3 times the price. Easiest money ever.'

Beautiful...

Anyway, picked up ROTF Brawn today, and he does indeed make a great Guzzle.

SoCal is probably one of the most heavily scalped areas for Transformers or anything remotely collectible. I have to go to every store almost right after they open if I want a shot at finding new waves.

Back on topic:
Generations Drift
Generations Thrust

[Enygma177]

Decided to bite the bullet on two figures I've been on the fence about: Battle Blade Bumblebee and PCC Searchlight w/Backwind. They weren't high on my lists of buys, but with the TRU sale, figured it wasn't a big risk. They are good.. Bee has a certain profile that I like, some negatives, but overall a good fig. Searchlight is nice and solid. Doesn't blow me away by any means, but is still good. Now just have to wait on the rest of my TUR online order to arrive. Stupid holidays...

[Decepticon Spike]

In the past week I've picked up:
ROTF Midewipe
ROTF Ramjet
TFA Sentinel Prime
WFC Bumblebee
Mighty Muggs G1 Shockwave
G1 Crosshairs
G1 Action Master Skyfall
G1 Tracks
G1 Thundercracker (body only, wanted it for a repaint).

[Stockade]

Took advantage of TRU sale and bought Sea Spray and Payload and should be arriving soon! out of stock on Drift and Thrust though. Not too sure about the PCC yet, need to see them in person..

Yep. Too bad we can't ban him on that basis. Sure, go ahead and do it if you must, but to come here and brag about it? That's just rude.


Anyway, got a small haul, HFTD has finally started to show up here so I got Legends Ravage. Until the deluxes and voyagers show up, he's the only one I'm interested in.

Also, a friend of mine managed to pick up an Alternity Skywarp for me while she was in the Philippines. Super nice of her. Unfortunately the figure is a bit of a disappointment, but it's not like I didn't know what I was getting into.

We're paying attention to him. Let's not further aggrivate the situation please.

Also I am sad kirbenvost. Everytime I see you post here, I keep thinking it's because PCCs and Generations have shown up.

The waiting continues.

Alright, won't mention it again.

Oh but PCCs have, check the Canadian Sightings! The first wave of 2-packs are in Walmarts right now. I just didn't buy any because I don't really like them. I think things are starting to show up at Zellers too, but it might only be HFTD at this point.

And none of the deluxes or voyagers are anywhere yet either, hence the continuing dry spell for me.

From TRU.com:

Leader SS
Battleblade BB
Deluxe Ironhide
PCC's Smolder, Searchlight, Huffer, and Skyburst (they didn't have Bombshock in stock )
Voyager Seaspray

Funny thing is I ordered all these from TRU.com thinking I was really gonna be cool and get this stuff early and everything I listed including the Bombshock set arrived in stores around here before my shipment arrived!
