Not sure if anyone is looking for the Shattered Glass Optimus Prime (attack mode) model kit, but the Barnes and Noble in Midlothian had two.

Like many of the Targets I have stopped by, you can get the Seeker 3 pak for $55.98 (clearance). Maybe for those holding out on that set.

Other than that, I am limited on getting around due to surgery but haven’t spotted anything else.

Happy hunting

Nothing really exciting, however for anyone that was still wanting the RC Bumblebee Camaro, the Wlamart off of HWY 10 in Chesterfield had four. I know those came out some time in the later part of 2018 I think. I remember seeing them and poof no more.

Side note, (not pictured) they did have two SS-54 Megatron if anyone is still looking for him. Nothing else though!

So this is more of a farewell than posting something sighted at a store. At this point, I am about 53 days away and I will be leaving Virginia for good. Of course, this is due to my retirement from the U.S. Army and will make my way back to Missouri.
I know in the past week I have posted a few finds but that has been due to my wife taking me out, because I am recovering from surgery and cannot drive. That will be the case for at least the next couple of weeks or so, so I wont be posting much.
I will still continue to post if the chance arises.

I have enjoyed sharing on this forum and hope others continue to do the same for all the Transformers fans In Virginia.

I wish everyone the best has you hunt for the latest and greatest for which ever line of Transformers you collect.

As always, happy hunting,

SGM

While I was out today, spotted latest on the Cyberverse line and BOT BOTs for anyone looking. They where at the Target in Chesterfield, off of Jefferson Davis HWY.

Two things, anyone wanting the G1 Reissue Astrotrain, Walmart off of Hull street, near 288, had him on sale.

The Target down the other way, had the new Cyberverse “Energon Armor”, Clobber, Hotrod, and Bumblebee. They had at least two each of the three.

If you are looking for Springer, this Walmart in Midlothian had him with a clearance sticker on him.

Not sure if anyone else has spotted the Earthrise line. This morning I stopped at a Target in Mechancisville, they had Cliffjumper, Wheeljack and Ironworks. I only picked up Cliffjumper. Realizing I am posting this late, but i was at that Target around 0945. I added one other photo for size comparison.

Happy Hunting

Thank you, SGM! I just went over to that Target and picked up Wheeljack and Ironworks

Almost missed them because they were on the top peg.

It sounds like you're recovering well from surgery, which is a great news! We'll definitely miss your VA posts when you move back to Missouri.

Safe travels my friend, and happy retirement!

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 1:28 pm

That’s awesome you picked them up. I don’t have my password loaded on my phone, otherwise my post would have been quicker. I almost missed them as well, but being tall, I happened to look up and saw all three on the peg there.

BTW, i did stop by the Target and Walmart in Short Pump, they didn’t have anything. That’s been pretty much it around my area as well.

I am recovering well, still have to pace my self but its nice to get out finally.

Definitely trying to keep this forum updated as much as I can while I’m here.

Again thank you. My wife is flying out on the 5th of March and on the 6th or 7th, we make the trip to Missouri.

Take it easy!

BTW, did you have any issue with Wheeljack? Just saw under the “Earthrise” forum, someone had issues with their Wheeljack. Something about an issue with the hip.

News Credits: 10 · by **transformers_va** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 1:52 pm

Yeah, Short Pump has never been good for me when it comes to finding newly released characters.

I just opened Wheeljack, and I'm not seeing any immediate issues with his hips. I'll have to go through the Earthrise fprum to see what issues people are having

News Credits: 10 · by **transformers_va** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 2:03 pm

I saw a post from TF-fan kev777 regarding a frozen hip, but thankfully mine is not suffering from the same issue

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Sat Feb 08, 2020 2:09 pm

That’s good to hear, yep that the one who reported the issue.

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 10:25 am

So, if anyone has been wanting to pick up any of the Studio Series 49, 50, 51, and 52. The Walmart in Colonial Heights had at least one of each. I only snagged #50 Hotrod. I will say, #52 (Chromia, Arcee, & Eliza-1), they are small. I knew they would be but when you see them in person, wow. I know there is the whole “scale” piece to it, but dang.

Anyways,

Happy hunting

So while out, stopped by Target in the Commonwealth Center. They had ER Ironworks and Hoist. I snagged Hoist.

At the Walmart in the Hancock Village off of Hull Street, they didnt have much. They had 4 G1 reissue Astrotrain for 39.73. Other than that same ol shelf warmers.

I will say, getting sad seeing Seige Shockwave accumulate in numbers on the shelf.

Happy hunting

SGM

UPDATE

Added a better picture alongside Cliffjumper. Also, if you are into them decoder part, since the ER line comes with the red clear strip. On Hoist inside package it has “Junkion”.

Looks like othet Walmarts are starting to stock Studio series 49-52. The Walmart off Iron bridge road in Chesterfield has at least one of each. There is only one each of Bumblebee and Soundwave remaining, while there is 2 of Hotrod and 2 of the female bike set.

I finally purchased ER Ironworks. Pretty neat, hope we get more like this to interact with Micromasters and other Transformers from the line.

Picked up ER at the Target in Midlothian. Nothing else was there. Stopped by the Walmart down the street.

There they had Siege Apeface, surprisingly they had a clearance sticker on Siege Starsccre and Soundblaster, but no one else. I didn’t do a price scan to see. In addition, they had SS 54 Megatron, if you have been looking for him.

The strangest at the other Target in the Westchester Shoppping Center, they didn’t have anything new, but they had Siege Galaxy Upgrade OP and weirdly enough they actually had SS Grimlock. I was like wow. Also starting to see SS Jetfire appearing back on the shelves.

Happy hunting VA!

Good news in regards to Earth Rise line. Target in Colonial Heights had lLeader class OP and Astrotrain. Deluxe wise, 2 Grapples and 1 Starscream.

That's as of noon.

Happy hunting

SGM

UPDATE, as of 1300hrs (sorry too us to military time).

At that Target, they are down to the 2 Grapples.

I bought the OP, a civilian that works in my building on base, snagged Starscream and Astrotrain. In addition, he got lucky and asked a employee if they had any more Prime’s and they had one more. So a good day of hunting.

I have added a photo of ER OP along side his fellow Autobots. Unfortunately, i do not have my G1 OP to give a comparison between the two. Of note, you can see how you can link Ironworks up to the ramp of OP’s trailer.

WOW!! Nice find!! I've been looking for them all over Richmond, but found nothing

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Tue Feb 18, 2020 5:38 pm

Thanks! Even though I don’t have much time left in Virginia, I am still trying to push out information for everyone.

I did post a comment about OP’s trailer under the “Earth Rise” forum. My own nitpick of it but otherwise happy!

Hopefully you will get lucky and find them.
