Please post your TF toy finds for Louisiana in here. Be sure to post the town the store was in where you found stuff so other members know if it is near them.

Harahan Super Wal Mart

I snagged a deluxe Arcee.

There were 2 Dreadwinds but IMHO they look like ass so I passed on them.

Maybe I will stumble across an 08 Bumbles soon :D

There are a couple others. Rex-203 lives not too far from me and I know there are a couple more Louisiana natives that post here.

I was just teasing. And hoping that this would take off a bit better. Probably needs to be a more prominent part of the site before it gets going..

ie..
-In the drop down menus for sitings and forums
-In the site navigation bar at the left of the screen

These two might be helpful for a start.

Anyway, I haven't seen anything new in LA lately... :?


:grin:

I think Goons have been snatching up all the stock in Baton Rouge (my home town though I don't live there anymore) judging by the posts on the SA forums.

I also saw Payload and the T.E.C.H stuff as well.
The assoiciate told me that they should finally have the new Joes out by the end of the week (They had them in the back for a couple weeks now)..

The Wal-Marts in PIneville and Alexandria are both setting up the shelves with new toys. Ultimate BB, Optimus and Megatron voyagers, and the new deluxes. I picked up Dropkick, Dreadwing, and Payload. The associates are saying the restock should be finished this week. I will check back for 08 BB, Arcee, and Longarm.

I finally broke and picked up a G1 colored Target Jazz from the Clearview Target.

Yo, whats up Cyber Bishop; Been to the rink lately? ;) I just snagged a Voyager Incenerator at Wal-Mart on West Esplanade in Metairie. They also had Voyager Offroad Ironhide, Megatron, Starscream, Thundercracker, and a bunch of others.

-Peace!

My collection is complete, I've got every Voyager/Deluxe Movie figure out... Except Ratchet... he looks dumb o.0

Spotted Universe classic Silverstreak and Sideswipe at the Clearview Super Wal Mart.

I did not pick them up because I had already ordered them from HTS..

Finally, a fellow New Orleanian on Seibertron. I also spotted Universe wave 3 at the Walmart in Elmwood. Oh, and they were selling movie voyagers for 10 bucks. I got Premium Ironhide.

Still trying to find animated Magnus though...

News from New Orleans again:

The target on Veterans has the Jetfire/Jetstorm two pack. I picked on up yesterday, but there were only 2 left.

Also, the Wlamart in Elmwood has a ton of Shadow Blade Megatrons.

For anyone looking for Dinobot in the New Orleans area, there's hope!! I found ONE Dinobot at the Walmart in Elmwood. I bought the last one, but they were restocking the isle so there are probably more there now. There were also two Bluestreaks. I haven't seen either ANYWHERE else.

I'm still keeping an eye out for Universe Vector Prime and Inferno.

I've been looking all over for Animated Waspinator and Samurai Prowl. It seems these guys are out damn near everywhere else. Has anyone had any luck finding these two? I've also yet to find Classics Rodimus, Cosmos or Warpath.

I did, however, find an Atomic Lugnut at the Target in the Clearview Mall. I didn't pick it up and it appears to be a shelfwarmer.

Geez. this place is dead. Am I the only guy in New Orleans (or Louisiana, for that matter) interested in Transformers?!

Anyway, for the possible New Orleanian lurkers out there, I have great news.

Walmart on Veterans had 2 Waspinators and 2 Samurai Prowls. I got one of each so there may be one left of each. There was also 1 Inferno and 1 Leo Prime. They also had Cosmos, Wheelie, Warpath and Rodimus Legends figures. I got the last Warpath though.

Toys R Us on Veterans had wave 1 of TF Mighty Muggs (but it was only 1 of each figure). I got Soundwave, so Prime, Megs and BB may still be there.

That's all I got. Target in Clearview still only had Atomic Lugnut. Doesn't seem like anyone wants the guy, lol.

I have had a lot of luck with the sightings in the past week. The Wal-Marts in the Pineville/Alexandria area have gotten TFA Waspinator and Samurai Prowl and also the new legend figures. I also found Leo Prime in Target in Alexandria. Also received my silver Alternity Convoy from BBTS this past Friday. I had also gotten Inferno a few weeks ago; just hadn't updated my sightings.

Back again...a few months later. Found the ROTF at every Walmart, Target and TRU I went to. However, the TRU on Veterans had 1 Stratosphere and 1 Mixmaster. No sign of Voyage Megs though. I checked the Clearview Target and the Target on the Westbank and there were no Superion sets. I wonder what's up with that. Both Targets had The Fallen and Wave 2 Deluxes though.
