I found TFU Smokescreen at the WM on US 41. He wouldn't ring up when I went to pay for him which was annoying. They had three Dinobots and two Smokescreens left.

Thu Jan 22, 2009 8:42 am

Received word from BBTS my Animated Waspinator and Samurai Prowl are in and being shipped. My Wreck-Gar and Atomic Lugnut should be on the porch when I get home today.

Found the Jetfire/Jetstorm 2 pack at the Brazil WM.

Thu Jan 22, 2009 7:30 pm

My same Jetfire/Jetsorm 2 pack, Wreck-Gar and Atomic Lugnut came today. Alh- did you get the combiner? I'm still undecided, but the initial reaction isn't very positive. I do really like Wreck-Gar even with the extra baggage on his back. Atomic Lugnut is a nicely done repaint(Imo), but I like the figure/character in his original colors as well.

Anyone here in FW found the new Universe yet? I haven't seen Dinobot or Smokescreen anywhere.

News Credits: 1 · Thu Jan 22, 2009 8:44 pm

Yeah, I got him. I haven't opened it yet though. I have alot of figures that I've yet to open. I'll probably get around to opening them in the next couple of days. I'm pretty much caught up on everything I want excpet for Inferno. He's scheduled to ship today, but we all know how HTS is on keeping their site updated.

I made a few stops today, unfortunately what I was hoping to find was not out there. WM Coldwater had Blurr and Swindle and first round Universe(Hound,SS,Cheetor and Cyclonus) but not much else. Target had all the same Universe and Animated UM but nothing else to talk about, and TRU was pretty wiped out of everything except Unicron.

Saw no Smokescreen or Dinobot . :-(

Tue Jan 27, 2009 7:26 pm

Animated Waspinator and Samurai Prowl came today from BBTS.

I found the new Legends Warpath and Rodimus at Meijer on Lima. I left them, I really want Wheelie and Cosmos.

Thu Jan 29, 2009 7:49 pm

Finally got Smokescreen and Dinobot at a WM in Kendallville today.

Finally got Inferno from HTS.

Well, nearly two years after the first movie I found the Dispensor/Ironhide robot heroes at Meijer on Lima Rd. :grin:

Sun Feb 08, 2009 6:12 pm

I picked up Legends Wheelie at TRU, -they are really picked over. Target Glenbrook had 2 Roadbuster Magnus, I passed, and Atomic Lugnut. I'm still looking for Cosmos.

My brother found TFU Wheelie, Cosmos and Warpath for me at the Meijer in Muncie.

Mon Feb 16, 2009 6:30 am

I found the Jetfire/Jetstorm 2 pack at WM South. WM on Lima has Smokescreen and Dinobot finally.

Sat Feb 21, 2009 6:51 am

The Mighty Muggs of Soundwave and Megatron I preordered have shipped.

Going on a toy run today after work. Still looking for legends Cosmos and Warpath.

Back from run -got Mighty Muggs Optimus and legends Cosmos and Warpath at TRU.
They had the Animated Jetfire 2 pack, Unicrons, Classics, and a few Animated -mainly Soundwave and Oilslick. They have a decent selection of Universe Voyagers (no Inferno), Legends and Animated Activators.

I got my Universe Legends Wheelie, Cosmos and Warpath today from my brother. My family got together for lunch this afternoon in Avon. On the way home. We ended up in Plainfield and we stopped and Target which had nothing new to report and Wal-Mart which had Overload, but I left him on the shelf.

I'm on the lookout for Animated Wreck-Gar, Waspinator and Activators Dirge and Cliffjumper...most of them are available on HTS, but I would like to order all four at the same time to save on shipping costs. I'm debating Leo Prime and Overload too.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Feb 23, 2009 3:16 pm

I saw Inferno x2 at the Wal-Mart in Clinton today. They also had Overload and Leo Prime.

News Credits: 1 · Wed Feb 25, 2009 11:11 am

Wal-Mart on SR 46 had Waspinator and Samurai Prowl. I took Wasp and left SP.

K-Mart here had 1 of each of the Mighty Muggs. I didn't buy any.

The TRU here hasn't really restocked anything since Chirstmas and they seem to be backed up with their store exclusives, everything from the Movie Ultras and Voyagers to Universe Unicron. I hope this doesn't mean they'll hold off on the Universe Ultras when they're released.

WM on US 41 really had nothing to report unless you're looking for Shadow Blade Megatron in which they six.

I got TFA Wreck-Gar from HTS today. Activators Dirge and Cliffjumper have been taken off the site. I'm hoping for a return.

I also got e-Hobby Sunstorm from BBTS today.

Tue Mar 03, 2009 8:17 pm

I got a ship notice from BBTS today about red Alternity Prime being shipped.

Looking for Ratchet and Hotshot.

I hope Target still gets that purple Animated Shockwave and last SS Clone since the line shut down. Bitch about Arcee too.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Mar 10, 2009 10:02 pm

Ordered Universe Ratchet and Hot Shot off HTS. If you use the 10% off code it's only a few cents difference between there or getting them at a store especially Wal-Mart.

Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:02 pm

I stopped by both Targets North and West but didn't find the Animated Sunstorm or Shockwave sets I was looking for. I've also had my eye out for Universe Hotshot and Ratchet but haven't seen them either.

Target did have Roadbuster Magnus still warming the shelves along with SB Megatron, some voyagers and a few deluxes. Nothing else really.
TRU had the same stuff, still a couple Titanium Prowls, Unicrons,etc.
Walmart was pretty wiped at the three locations I've been to recently.

I'm anxious to get my MP Grimlock coming out in the next few weeks.

News Credits: 1 · Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:02 pm

Found the Sunstorm and Shockwave packs at Target in Avon. There were several left.

Still looking for Dirge and Cliffjumper Activators. They've reappeared on HTS, but are unavailable at the moment, but I'm holding on to hope! I think those will be it for me until ROTF unless TFA Arcee comes out before then or those Target Titaniums.

Fri Mar 20, 2009 1:16 pm

Target at Glenbrook had an endcap today of the 2pk. Animated Sunstorm/Ratchet and Shockwave/Bumblebee, at least 6+ of each. Deluxe Animated were marked down to $7.99. Still had Roadbuster Magnus warming the shelves.

MP Grimlock should be out in less than 2 wks. I preordered the Blue Alternity Megatron along with the Animated add-on package, and the new trailer for Universe Prime from BBTS. It'll be a little while before the movie toys start showing up.

I've decided to attend the Dairycon this year since the Botcon is in Ca. They do have a couple of their own exclusives I preordered. One was the Unicorn from Beast Machines and the other is a Pretender I'm not familiar with. Should be interesting, I'm always on the lookout for a toy.

Fri Mar 20, 2009 2:28 pm

I really wish I had the money for MP Grimlock, make sure to tell us how awesome it is barricade. I've been looking for Waspinator and Samurai Prowl, but haven't seen them anywhere. HTS is out of stock on both of them. Anybody near Fort Wayne seen them?

Mon Mar 23, 2009 5:16 am

Big Lots at South Gate has a bunch of the 25th ann. Mini-Cons from the K-Mart exclusive set packaged seperately, in addition to a slew of Cybertron toys repackaged as Universe. They also have the Universe Prime/Megatron sets (without the DVD) being sold at Dollar General.

Not much else anywhere, pegs are starting to get pretty empty no matter where you go, save for the shelfwarmers which I expect to see on clearance in the near future.
