I have noticed that the people at some stores have because really nasty about answering question as to when they will get more movie toys in stock. I haven't personaly had this problem but I have read of people getting answer like we have discontinued carring these figure and several other really nasty things. It is getting as bad as when you ask if a place has a nintendo wii for sale. But it is nice know that the restock is coming and I hope it hits here soon because right now target over at alderwood mall looks like a ghost town I have never seen it that empty it truly one of the scarest things. I really hope that the new animated series and classics 2.0 aren't this popular.

Well, I was fortunate enough to get both the Wii and the Movie toys on their respective launch days. Heel by June 2 I had every toy I wanted save for the Optimi. Restocks gonna be the time I get the rest ( Arcee, 08 Bumble etc.) but I also do Marvel Legends so I feel for you.

Oddly I didn't have trouble finding my Wii OR the '08 BB, I'm casually looking for Voyager Optimus though but no luck. :lol:

Really? I didn't think it was that bad trying to find anything except wave 2 figures.

Dang shortround. Did you catch my thread on Kohls department store...the one at the Alderwood Mall is the one I was referring to. Three days ago I drove 30 miles north to get to it and that is where I found all the deluxes (quit a few bumblebees). I will not be making it up there anytime soon so keep checking it...and don't forget, they price match.

Heh, it's kinda weird how different things can be in different parts of the world. Here in my north-european corner of the earth, and in this "in-the-middle-of-the-woods" -town of mine, it almost seems that the only toys moving from the shelves are the ones I'm buying :lol:

Few times I've seen little kids drooling over leader Prime and some other movie figs, but generally there's not much movement at all.

Of course, it makes my hunt easier, but I think it is kind of a problem too, I don't believe the local stores will be ordering any NEW stuff, because the old ones are not moving either. And I still haven't even seen deluxe wave 2

After you posted your findings about Kohls there really wasn't much there to find. It was as bad as the target across street as far transformers movie toys go they had couple deluxe wreckage and Swindle that was it for the movie toys. neather of which I was looking for.

i got that nasty treatment at a couple of stores.... wal marts and targets in general.... i wonder if they would still be nasty if you had a little kid by your side, so they see the toys are for the kid not for some grown up.... then i wonder theyll be all like "oh, sure thing little one, we have a few cases in the stock room. oh, bumblee? the yellow one? thats the one you want, sure i'll grab a couple for you from the back...." however, when im by myself, some grown up and i ask if they got any TFs its "NO, NO shipments today! NONE, maybe next week, but theyll be SOLD OUT, NONE i say!" okay thank you for your help. i mean it is your job to be polite to the customer, isnt it?
