Hey I was doing pretty good at keeping up with the movie guys, but then slacked off, or ran out of money, whichever it was. Anyway where did they all go?

I missed Brawl, Wreckage, Swindle, and I haven't seen any new guys at all. I still need the leaders of Megs and OPtimus.

Anybody know if these guys are goign to be back out on the shelves eventually, or shouild I just hop to ebay? Thanks.

Every once in a while I will see a new shipment of wave one deluxe come into Wally world but u will never see the pegs stocked full again thats for sure... as far as the leader class I think you might as well head to ebay for that one... Those things are long gone

Welcome back from underneath that rock. :lol:

This situation has been a problem for some time now. TFs, especially Deluxes, are notoriously difficult to find. The two simplest pieces of advice I can give are "Check Kohl's" and "Wait for winter, or just bend over and take it from eBay sellers."

Post subject: where did all the deluxe movie guys go to?

Survey Says: Ebay

I would go with bending over and taking it from ebay, because the Kohl's supply has dried up thanks to it being broadcast on a number of websites, also sears was once a great place as well but it dried up to.

Some figures will be back on shelves, and some (read: leader class) will shelf warm in the coming months.

Hopefully the majority of figures have been taken to good homes, but ebay has become like a truckstop for many figures on their way to homes.

I would be resistant to buy a current line on eBay, just because you know that EVENTUALLY the supply chain will be re-stocked. There's too much focus on "now now now" (hence the 2x retail for certain bots like Concept BB) and not enough focus (or patience) on biding one's time to ensure getting what one wants before a line goes out, but waiting for it to be available. I have not paid more than retail for any of my Transformers (with a couple of exceptions, but they're all discontinued figures and not current line) and see no reason to unless it's a chase figure.

I dont think I knew that Sears had a toy section hmmm. :-?

Not all sears have toy sections.

Leader class should wait for restock. Brawl is a shelfwarmer here and i still megatron and optimus occasionally.

I've seen all 3 leader class multiple times over...they sell pretty quick, but they're still around. Just saw 3 OPs at Target last week. Guess I should be updating the MN sightings section too...sorry.

I'm not seeing Deluxes anywhere, anymore. I remember when Jazz was a peg warmer, then even he disappeared. Now, the only TFs at all at the Walmart by my house are Rescue Ratchet and 20th Anniversary Prime. Oh yeah, and Star Wars TFs.

Lately the shelfwarmers here have been Leader Brawl, and Voyager G1 Starscream and deluxe G1 Jazz... oh and that butt ugly voyager iced-out Megatron...

Im just happy i got all them movie charaters in time. Sure i still need to give sandmunkey his leader brawl, but i dont think he'll be too hard to track down again. However, it's still kinda sad to go into a target, or wally for arrands and not see a single tf on the shelf but those rely stupid real gears and those retarded tech gears :cry:

They are now in Ebay.

Strangely, at a local Walmart I went to the other day, they had 5 or so concept BB's, 1 Arcee and 1 Final Battle Jazz. Just sitting around being ignored... Wierd.
