Stock! Good to have you back online. I'm cherry-picking TF's nowadays--haven't grabbed one in almost a year. Def gonna get Masterpiece Prime from TRU when he comes out, though. PM me when you're ready for the figs that you want to buy from me!

Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:39 pm

Stock... missed ya, bro! I think I'm gonna head out tomorrow and do some hunting. I will look for the Marvel Legends, and If there's anything else new, I'll let you know. Also, on the FoC Shockwave topic: I got him and I think he should've been at least a V-ger, and I don't know why he's a battle cruiser and not a cannon or something... but! He's a good fig - highly posable, GREAT eye shine, vicious stance, semi-complicated transformation ( I like em like that). If you see him, get him! That's all from the North Coast, I'll check back in later.

I'm sold. I'll probably pick up Shock, at least. Now, if I can just find him...

Whoa! back the Prime truck up! Mp Prime at TRU? WOW! I REALLY have been out of the loop and when is he suppose to come out or be released? i havent bought any DOTM or TF:Prime stuff these lines dont interest me at all, i like the Prime line, but rather get other TF's to fill my shelf space. I think the last TF's i picked up was Sky Shadow and JunkHeap and that was it! but recently i got FP's Insecticons which I love and wouldmt give them up! I'm hoping to get TFC Hercules next month, but $500 bones for that guys is abit much i think, but hey if hes worth it then ill get him. Anyway, get back with about MP Prime would love to have him next to Grimlock and Skywarp.

Later Doc

Yup--it's the MP-10 Convoy that came out in Japan recently. Looks badass as hell, so he's a must-have. I'm probably going to sell my TFC Hercules eventually this year too--he's an awesome fig/set of figs, but I'd rather have a new guitar.

Also--saw that Optimus Maximus/whatever at the Walmart in Tiffin today. Pass. :p

i went back to the target in cuyahoga falls and i noticed the weaponizers, and voyager starscream and voyager bulkhead.

The Walmart in Lima on Harding Highway had both weaponizers, the FOC figs, TF:P Knockout (who I almost bought, but ended up taking a pass on), and Voyagers Starscream and Bulkhead from TF:P as well. Does anyone know when the Voyager-class Breakdown is expected to come out?

Sun Aug 19, 2012 6:59 pm

Voyager Breakdown isn't coming out in the US any time soon, if ever.

Sorry for the late reply, but scored FOC Prime and Shockwave both at Target by the VOC Park off of Tylersville Rd Sunday and i cant believe deluxes are $14.99 each and walmarts even higher! Lucky for me i had a Target gift card to ease some of the wallet damage and have to say Prime is pretty cool, but small like everyone says, but Shockwave is a bad-ass! Not sure about Jazz yet any input on him is he worth it or not?

News Credits: 2 · Mon Aug 20, 2012 9:43 am

I scored Shockwave this morning, and yeah, I noticed that the price for deluxes is going up. Whee. But Shock's pretty cool, though, I gotta say.

Mon Aug 20, 2012 4:28 pm

Jazz is a good figure Stockade. I have him and i say he isnt that bad,he is worth it

.

Anyway, i just need a Shockwave now, i feel left out cause everyone has him but me XD.

Would you say that he is better than Prime? Only reason im asking is i've seen some video reviews from Peaugh and going from best to worst is Shockwave, Jazz and then Prime. Too me Prime isnt bad either, just needs to be a little taller thats all. Thanks for the info IH/SC, i'll pick him tonight at my local Target that is cheaper than walmarts! Still scratching my head over that one.

Wait...seriously? Jazz, as small as he is...is taller than Prime? Whoa. I'll still buy the Prime mold when it's released as Ultra Magnus, but I don't like it being that small. That's ridiculous. Fortunately, we do get some killer paint apps out of it. (I'd be willing to forgo those apps in trade of better plastics and larger figures.)

Hey Guys stopped by Target by the Dayton mall yesterday on the way home and picked up FOC Jazz and pretty cool little dude, no regrets either and Target just got in a fresh stock of FOC and i saw 3 Shockwaves there along with MANY Primes and Jazz's hanging on the peg. Also just finished picking up all 3 of the FP insecticons and these guys i cant put down and love the new twist that FP did for the Insecticons and got PX-02 Ninja and Kng Bat yesterday. WOW what a set, I love Roseanna just needs some factions stickers and she will be good and the King bat is really cool and i didnt think he would be that big and the trident mode is totally killer! I have PE ejector and rewind on pre-order and considering getting the Shadow Bat version of king bat, but still thinking about it. Thats all for now and everyone keep in touch, later.

Alright, alright!! How's it in the Ye Olde Energon Pub? I hope everyone is good and tossed! Now, down to it... We got Kreon MicroFormers up here! TRU in Elyria had the full set, I got what I thought were Sunstorm, Galvatron, and Scorponok... Turned out to be Sunstorm, Spinister, and Waspinator... Oh, well. Guess I'll just go grab the other three. Picked up a TF:P Cyberverse Wheeljack! No, not kidding. Found the new wave at Avon WM. Hyperspeed Wheeljack, the Arcee repaint, and a third one that I can't think of. Also, the Weaponizers have arrived, and so has the Power Rangers Samurai Gigazord Set. For $130, you can get ALL 11 zords in one box. Lastly, I, too will get the Prime mold when issued as an Ultra Magnus Repaint, but not now. Happy with the other two, though.That's all from the North Coast.

I was down in Cincinnati and stopped by the Walmart off 75 at exits 14 and 21 and the Target at exit 22. All of them had FoC deluxe wave one and other misc TF Prime, but I still cannot find a Vehicon. Seriously where are they?! Did they all go to that mysterious place socks disappear to in the dryer? If anyone finds one that they don't want please get it and I will buy it from you.

News Credits: 1 · Fri Aug 24, 2012 2:03 pm

I haven't found anything new lately, not that there is anything out there that is all that great. However i did find some G1 Mini-Bots and some Go Bots at a flea market for $5 bucks each last week. All in great condition. Found G1 Dead End and Gears, couldn't beat it. On another note if anyone is playing TF:FoC hit me up for Team Deathmatch on PS3. Shokwayve 77. Happy Hunting.

Fri Aug 24, 2012 5:13 pm

Such small figures (FOC Prime) Yet cost so much money......

Sun Aug 26, 2012 5:00 pm

Gotta post this quick cause im playing FOC Target in beavercreek had a Shockwave and this little girl needed it too XD but her mom wouldnt buy it for her MOM WOULDNT BUY SHOCKWAVE FOR ME :-x

.....Happy Hunting!

Got yet some more new arrivals up here in Avon... WM had the two new BotShot launchers: Ironhide and Starscream. My sister was with us and she bought the Starscream launcher for me, LOL... Also, Optimus Maximus has showed up, and a fresh box of TF:P Dead End, Silver BB, and Knock Out. Also, something for the kiddies: Imaginext (I believe) has new vehicle-to-dino "transformers." Blue car to triceratops, yellow car to stegosaurus, green car to t-rex, crane truck to ankylosaurus, and blue jet to spinosaurus. I like em and so does my little guy... deffinately gonna pick one up on payday. That's all from the North coast! See you around.

Well since MP Thundercracker made an early appearance at TRU in another state, Looks like ill have to be more pro-active stopping at my local TRU too see if he shows up. Anyone know the UPC or anything for MP Thundercracker? If not, im sure TRU employees MAY know it (doubtful but hoping they do) Other than that, just waiting for MP Prime and the Asian exclusives to hit the shelves to satisfy my thirst of collecting again. Can't wait for Hot Spot!!

As for spotting anything new? big fat ZERO. Keep me posted my friends! Seacons combine to form Piranacon!!!

I Forgot to add that i just ordered Perfect Effects Shadow warrior Demolitions and Shadow King bat for my collections! next up is PE the sun and the night along with lazer and buzzer.

What's this about Seacons? Was that random? LOL And I for sure hate you cause I want those PE and BTS "tapes" so so bad! Nightfang and Savage. I'll DEFINATELY be looking out for MP Thundercraker! As soon as I see him I will shout it from the rooftops! That's all... just a quick check-in. Time for work!

Well first off the Seacons is one of Favs combiners that form Piranacon which is very powerful and unstoppable, not even sure if Predaking could stop him too be honest. Anyway, it was a random shout for my favorite combiners and wish Hasbro or 3rd party (hint hint) Fansproject or TFC could redo or remake them like TFC did for the Constructicons Hercules and i would pay $600 for that combiner, no questions asked.

As far as the PE stuff is very good quality and takes a beating! I have Rumble and Frenzy and looks killer with WFC Soundwave! Just got Ninja and King Bat last week and cant put down either one and King Bat in Trident mode is pretty freakin killer for either Megatron or Nemesis Prime! An Ninja or AKA Rosanna is just awesome with Blaster or Prime! PE stuff comes highly recommended Lucius! By the end of the week ill have the other two and the back-pack for Magnus, so I'll let you know how all 3 turn out or send pics for everyone.

Hey Guys, stopped by Dayton mall TRU and no go for MP Thundercracker and no spot for him either! Even walked back to the Transformer isle and very bare place to be, but i guess the good news is i spoke to the lady at the counter and gave her the item number and it did come up, but not in stock and no place around had it either. Normally their truck runs every Thursday, but i guess the route has change, she said the truck stops any day of the week! There's no dedicated day like before. Anywho, for now I'll stop weekly unless someone happens to see him there one day and if so, please IM me!!!
