Was in Lafayette today visiting family. We went to TRU and found the three latest Real Gears. There were a few left of each I think. I picked up one of each and took advantage of the buy 2 get one free deal.

We also went to Target. I was hoping to find the AS Scouts, but that came up nil.

Found Stockade at about every WM here in town. The WM on 37 had two large endcaps of TF's. Every deluxe was on one endcap including J Bonecrusher and Stockade. The other had all voyagers including Evac and Incinerator. Still plenty of NW OP and Desert Brawls. No sign of the new WM exclusive repaints yet.

TRU had nothing once again. Meijer had the new leaders and Stockade, not much else.

Stopped at the Wal-mart on SR 46 this afternoon. I found all four store exclusives on an endcap display that had other As Deluxes too. I saw Cliffjumper in a store for the first time too.

Found all of the new deluxe exclusives at WM on Coldwater Rd. They also had the new robot heroes multi pack with the metallic colors. I've seen alot of the original BB deluxe at several stores I've been to as well.

TRU is still still pretty dry. Same old, same old at Target, waiting to get a look at the new exclusives there- with the metallic paint jobs.

Got the reissue Sky Lynx from BBTS- Sweet!- He was one of the G1's I needed for the collection. They also have pre orders for Omega Supreme which I put my name down for one.

Was in Muncie on Saturday. I stopped at the Target there and found AS Scout Storm Surge. There were at least two and I picked up one. They also had 2 Premium Ironhides. I strongly debated over taking one, but decided against it.

Was in Merrillville on Friday and found Premium Blackout and Ironhide at Target (got the only ones on the shelf) as well as Storm Surge and other new AS Scouts.

As for here in Fort Wayne, all the Wal-Marts have a good selection of deluxes (including the 4 exclusives)as well as the new Robot Hero metallic set along with the regular shelf warmers.

TRU is pretty dry as usual.

Found the new Premium Optimus and Megatron leaders at Meijer on Lima Road. They had one of each on the shelf, got them both.

On the way to the Botcon in Franklin,OH WM I found all the new animated toys including voyagers SS,Megatron,Bulkhead, and the boxed set with video.
If anyone wants anything I will try to get it for you as they are all over here, but I need to know fairly soon. Any Botcon items you are looking for? Retail price plus shipping.

All the premium Target exclusives were at Botcon (only got Barricade). Haven't seen them in the Target stores yet, I heard mid May.

Mon May 05, 2008 2:18 pm

I got a salvage at walmart on coldwater (Fort Wayne) and i thought i missed the deluxe premiums.

Where did you find the info for premium deluxe release of mid may?

Mon May 05, 2008 2:23 pm

you know the premiums deluxes and stealth bb selling on ebay? Does that mean that those ppl got from a city that released, or does it mean they got it from another country. I wanted to know because i couldnt find it anywhere

I had found the premium voyagers Blackout and Ironhide at the Target on Maplecrest about a month ago. Premium Optimus and Megatron I got at Meijer on Lima Road about 3 weeks ago. Haven't seen the premium deluxes yet as other sites boards said a release in mid May. Deepspace Starscream is up for order at the Target website.
Got all the new animated toys near Cincinatti, when I went to the Botcon.

Today I went on a hunt looking for transformers. I checked Lima Walmart, Cooldwater Walmart, I-69 Walmart, Meijer on Lima, Target on Coldwater, Toysrus in glenbrook commons, and even Kohl's toy section. I wasted about 1/8 tank of gas and found no deluxe premiums again. :sad:

I really hope someone will tell me where to get them if they are sighted.

Wed May 07, 2008 9:39 pm

YO! I just went to the Lima Walmart and found...

PREMIUM BLACKOUT AND PREMIUM IRONHIDE! :grin:

I missed out on the originals so a was luck to find these.
There were 4 ironhides and 3 blackouts left.

Sat May 10, 2008 11:29 pm

I found both Premium Voyagers at TRU in Terre Haute on Friday. They had one on each and took them both.

This evening, my wife and I were at Wal-Mart on 46 around 10:30 and they pulling out new stock from the back. There were several cases of deluxes that said "wave 4 08" on the and one that said "wave 5 08" on it. I was sure the premiums were in the wave 5 box, but there was no one to ask to open the case for us so we went on about our shopping. I decided to go back a little after midnight and sure enough, I now have all three premium deluxes as well as Stealth BB and Salvage.

I'm still looking for the last three Real gears and waiting for the 2 TRU Voyager exclusives and the WM Deluxe exclusives.

Sun May 11, 2008 8:17 am

I found Salvage at Wal-Mart South but no Stealth BB. No deluxe voyagers anywhere here yet. I'm looking for the Dispensor/Ironhide Robot Heroes set, and then Black Arachnia and Ironhide from Animated.

The Soundwave repaint is interesting but the Quickmix I'll pass on for those TRU exclusives.

Mon May 12, 2008 9:40 pm

Ok, so the premium deluxes have been released in Indiana, but has anyone seen them near fort wayne?

Oh! btw, I found stealth bumblebee at Lima Walmart

Tue May 13, 2008 10:17 pm

I've seen premium Jazz at the Lima and Southtown Wal-marts in Fort Wayne. Coldwater had a couple and Southtown had one. I found the Jetstorm and Wingblade Ultras at Toysrus in Glenbrook, picked up Jetstorm. Went back the next day and the Wingblades were gone.
