Will wal-mart have a pre-order for masterpiece starscream? hmmmm

I've been looking around for 2 weeks and the only new things in the transformers movie line were, Unleashed Optimus Prime Turnaround, Beatmix Bumblebee, Real Gear 2-packs, T.E.C.H. figures, Robot Replicas, and Deluxe Arcee

Don't hold your breath. I just checked Warren's Wal-Mart last Sunday and nothing, nada, zip, zilch. In fact, there was so much overstock it wasn't even funny.

Niles is just as bad, if not worse because they have Super K-Mart, Target, Toys R' Us, and none of them have a single item that is new. Nothing.

Austintown's Wal-Mart is pathetic. All they had was two role play helmets, and a Bonecrusher. That's it.

Boardman was the only one that was any good. 2 weeks ago, Target had F.A.B. Frenzy (and his case assorted friends), TRU had nothing (this is nothing unusual), BIG K-Mart had Robot Replicas (two full cases...sadly.), and Wal-Mart Supercenter had Bumblebee, but I missed it. Arcee and Dreadwing remained, I bought neither one.

So, they're in our area, or at least they were....waiting for the restock is one of the most difficult things it seems. It's a bit of a piss off.

Nice! All the toys I got months ago!

She could have lied, but I had the feeling that she was being asked that question over and over. She probably doesn't work Saturday, hmmm. Ha ha, either way, I'm going to call again on Saturday and see what's up. If the do have somethings (Bumblebee) I'll be sure to pick extras up for unlucky members.

Hahaha, me too. Makes the hunt just that much easier.

So could I and everyone else here.. If we wanted to spend a fortune on it just to get it early.

I'll do fine with my $10 08 Bumbles thank you.

i found the new movie deluxes and real gears 2 days ago. but i wasnt able to get online till today. and for anyone interested the DC superhero friends(dcs spidey/friends style) toys are out also. the batman looks awesome.




i am just glad i have 08 bumblebee now.

I was at my local Target, Exton PA, Friday morning at about 9, there was a very cute girl setting up a new TF endcap. She had Ultimate BB's, Prime Helmets, and something called a "2 in 1" somthing. Not sure. She only had one box of BB's and the rest was old stock. She said that was all she had for today to set up with.

Then she asked for my number

Then she saw my wedding ring, blushed, and walked off .

I felt bad, especially since today is my Wife and I's 5 year Anniversary .

nice more toys for me to get when do we get the g1 colour jazz he longs cool!

i picked up an ultimate bumblebee last ninight at a target in maryland. i'm kind of into it, im kind of not, some parts are tough other a flimsy. i almost ripped my hand open trying to slide the roof top down, i still have my hand but a gnarly blood blister where the bumblebee snapped shut and would not let go. its light in the front, heavy in the back, hard to stand up properly. the joints in the legs dont offer much motion especially in the hips, where the legs onlt fold out, if you like bumblebee doing splits then this is your transformer. anyhow, its cool, but its expensive too. i dont know, im glad i got it, but i thought it would be a little sturdier. some parts feel like they are going to rip right off. blah blah blah. have a good weekend.

Wow!! You guys are lucky!! We dont get our's in till Sept. 19, well thats what the CS rep said from Hasbro. This is for the Ulitimate Bumble Bee. Oh yeah!! This is for Walmart stores, no clue on the others.

Yep, no love for the West Coast. Shelves are still bare here.

dont worry young lad, theyll be here soon, theyll be here soon.
but great news indeed, to here you guys are getting figs out there.

Hi there! New guy here. Got a quick question, does anyone know the chances of finding a Voyager Optimus Prime at Target? Becuase I missed out on the Robo-Vision one and I'm wondering if they'd even bother carrying a diffrent version of it. Just tryin' to make it through the great Transformers drought of 07' down here in Florida.


-EDIT: Nevermind! someone just found it for me! It figures the one day I DON'T go shopping is the one day it's out!

tom brokaw, this might be of your interest, but someone on TFW2005.com went to the Burbank TRU yesterday and they got a ton of new TFs in.

Unfortunately, dude also apparently loves to hoard, since he bought 6 08 BBs and basically cleared the shelves.


EDIT: Actually, it's someone from tfans.com.

I didn't know you were from Chicago....

My buddy Starscream just cleared out the TRU on Western in Chicago.

Thanks...

looks like i can finally get a voy megatron to complete my wave 1 set

This "breaking news" is pretty pointless.Yeah stores are just now starting to get the new shipments. But it probably won't even last for a week, atleast for the deluxes and voyagers. Ive been to 2 targets, 2 walmarts, and 1 toysrus and the only useful thing i found were 2 ultimate bumblebees. There have been numerous reports in my area of the wave 2 and 3 deluxes, and i havnt seen 1 yet. Everywhere I went they were sold out. And all this stuff just started happining like yesterday. Once these shipments are sold out we will probably never see them again until the holiday months.

I was A day late !!!!!!!! burbank toys r us was my only chance...

Finally found Ultimate Bumblebee here and our first local sighting of the Movie Replica figures...how long have they been out now? TRU should be getting their truck tonite...I'll be there in the morning.

OK, I didn't realize there were so many Chicago-area peeps on this board...can we get a roll call or something? I think we need to have a party...you drink the beer, I'll drink the vodka...

got an ultimate bb at target today, they only got 2 in and both are sold now.

Just got back from a WalMart and the local TRU.

I hit WalMart first on my lunch break and found barren shelves with a single, lonely Voyager Megs sitting at the bottom which I took pity on and brought home. Of note, there were now 16 pegs devoted to Deluxe figures, but they were completely empty. A note taped to one of them had the display map, all of which said DLX, and had a date of 8-6-07. Surely not every single Deluxe, including the shelf-warmers, sold out in four days? I'll check again tomorrow.

Next, I hit TRU and the first thing I saw was a movie Arcee on the pegs in front of three other boxes. Hey, doesn't Arcee come in the same box as 08 BB? Alas, someone had gotten to it before me. There was, however, a veritable motherload of Voyager Primes and Megatrons. I talked to the guy stocking on the next aisle over and he said there was a shipment of TFers on the truck LAST NIGHT. So they must've only gotten one box of deluxes and some lucky bugger got to the BB today.

Every Wal-Mart in town has that map taped up in the toy section. The date is the implement date but not necessarily when they are actually stocking the toys. The Wal-Marts here just started putting out new product last night, and nearly all of it is gone already.

Yeah, but I can't imagine every single deluxe was wiped out that quickly. I mean, there would be a few shelf warmers in those boxes too. I'm thinking they're just starting to trickle in is what it is.
