Oh man, good luck on that!! I live in Renton, WA near Seattle and I've been on the hunt for new movie toys the last two weeks. I only saw a Leader class Prime and Voyager Ironhide once (which both I already have). And even then I can't remember which store had them. All I can suggest is to try local Walmarts, Target and TRU's in the area of Washington you're going to. Good Luck!!

That's very hard to say. I have seen leader Prime at Fred Meyer Stores recently. 3 stores actually, but I dunno when they'll be gone. Could already be for all I know.
Ironhide I have seen around, but these things only seem to last on the shelf for a day anymore, if that. Walmart and Target is where I have seen these in the last two weeks, but again, they last about a day and they are gone after that.
I went to 5 stores today and I found an optimus Classic Voyager, but that was it. I frequent Wal-Mart and Target in the Renton/Tukwila area almost everyday in the morning and over the past 3-4 weeks supplies have been very grim. Only once a week I ever see anything, but it's usually older stuff.
Just and FYI... it's TOUGH. many of us collectors are very frustrated and I hope you find what you're looking for. As it stands supplies are not plentiful yet around here.

Alderwood mall target has pretty good selection, as well as the northgate target will often have a good selection, everett toys r us also does pretty well.

thanks guys. hope i can get what i wanted. I live in singapore. yes, collectors here also feel frustrated, either due to low/no stock of desired items or scalpers created stock level issue.
i just lack leader OP and voyager ironhide to complete my collection

They had two voyager Ironhides yesterday at the Lynnwood Toys R Us. I'm not sure if they're still there...

So you're the reason I can't find anything at Walmart & Target! AAAHHHHHGGGGG!!!!!
