The Rage posted:Before I went to work tonight I stopped by my local TRU and picked up the Voyager Prime. My Wal-Mart restocked what looked like a box or two of the new wave finally. Picked up 08 BB, Longarm, and Dropkick. No Arcee's at all. Skipped FB Jazz and Recon Barricade. Also, if anyone needs a Classic Optimus or Jetfire, they got like 15 of each, wtf.  Congrats on finding the new toys, though. I guess it gives me hope that stores near me will actually start getting stuff in sometime soon.  Edit-- then again, if this thread is any indication, it isn't just Flagstaff that's getting shortchanged on the new toys; it looks like all of Arizona is getting hosed by Hasbro distribution.

Just called the Walmart closest to me and they said they still don't have any deluxe figures in. Saved me a trip because I was about to run out there right now.

I get the feeling that they new figures are all starting their in stock on the east coast and slowly moving west. My Walmart in Washington is still barren with only real gear poo poo. Also The Rage, does Towline's gun cause any balancing issues since its pretty large on him?

Hmm... those of you who have found the new wave of toys, can you sound off on when you got them, and what state you're in? Maybe that'll let us get a general feel for how quickly they're moving west. Oh, and Corbet, I'm still waiting to hear back on how much you want for those Cybertron toys I was interested in.

La la la, what a beautiful day.... Went around the Walmarts in the area to get a bunch of boxes for all the poo poo I'm selling off, all of them had the next wave of figs. The ghetto Walmart right by me is remodeling, and as I was walking into the garden center I saw a nice Alt. Ravage with a big dent in his bubble and a 10 dollar clearance sticker. Ching! Then the other Walmart they're renovating had two new Camaro Bumblebees out. I even got the Ferrari F430 from Cars the movie, which I had never seen before.

Rage: 1) I hates you. My 08 BB is still somewhere in Canadaland. 2) You didn't fully transform his hood

I haven't checked the box marts in about a week, but with all these classics and whatnot being found at Walmart, I should head out... I still need a classics Devastator.

Man, I was this loving close to getting Bumblebee. I went ot the ghetto Walmart on capitol in Milwaukee, and they had Arcee, Dreadwing and Payload. I picked up Arcee, she's pretty cool. I have a feeling we'll all be rolling in Bumblebees soon.

Well I'm in west coast Canada, so I don't think it's an east to west thing. Especially considering all this stuff comes from China anyways.

Wow, have you guys seen the concept art for Arcee? I can't believe how accurate the toy is. I think the toy is totally badass after seeing this.

Seeing as how some people are still finding the concept CGI art and such, I'll repost this link: http://rapidshare.com/files/43723451/Transformers.zip It's all of the art from Ben Procter's site.

I might have to hit there and pick up Dreadwing (if the wife didn't get it for me) and Payload.

They still have a huge stack of em way up high in the clearance aisle. I passed on Dreadwing because he bot mode looked like crap. Payload is surprisingly small but still looks pretty cool. Do you ever hit up the triangle of stores in Brown Deer (the Wal Mart, Target and Toys R Us)? We should keep each other posted on area sightings.

That Toys R Us is where I found my Soundwave reissue a month or so ago. Haven't been up that way too often - I'm down by Miller Park, so I hit the Target down there, and the Walmart up near 60th and Capitol mostly. Do you still have my email address? Drop me a line if you do.

Payload is surprisingly small but still looks pretty cool. I had partial success at Wal-Mart today. They had all 4 packs of the movie-series Robot Heroes, so I got them all. Seriously, they're utterly hilarious, and way funnier in person. I mean, I thought that the Robot Heroes G1 Starscream was pretty  , but movie Megatron with his gigantic toothy grin is incredibly  .They'd also restocked the Classics, including several more Jetfires, as well as Cliffjumper, Mirage, Ramjet, and Rodimus, as well as a couple Grimlocks. I'd never seen him in person, but since I'm not a big fan of the Dinobots and "ME GRIMLOCK AM MENTALLY RETARDED", it didn't bother me much. However, everyone here kept saying how kickass Classics Grimlock was, so I picked one up. I haven't opened it yet and I'm still on the fence on if I want to, because this is $10 that could go towards a (theoretical) purchase of a Wave2 movie toy (sometime in the amorphous and indeterminate future, fates and celestial alignments providing). So someone convince me that I should keep Grimlock.

TRU in Olympia, WA has Voyager Prime (2) and Megs (1). I went over to Target and they had a bunch of Hasbro boxes on a cart, but otherwise just a bunch of those crappy robot replicas and transforming weapons. So I don't think they're sweeping east to west.

Corbet, still waiting on a price quote for those Cybertron toys I wanted (Override, Landmine, and Mudflap). I know SassyRobot still wants to buy Evac off you as well; I dropped my dibs on it so she could get it. Also, like The Rage, I'd be interested in the reissues as well. Which ones have you got? I think I'd be interested in #1 (Jazz), #14 (Hound), and #17 (Blitzwing), specifically. Xenomrph fucked around with this message at Aug 17, 2007 around 02:11 |

Oh yeah I was in such a hurry to get home from my lovely job I totally forgot to mention! Brick Hardmeat, your box arrived today! Megatron looks bitchen but I wont be able to open him up until tomorrow. The box was undamaged but the top of his box is alittle bent. No big deal, it'll be tossed in the closet for a while anyway. Edit - gently caress it. I opened him and transformed it. Holy poo poo is he badass. Now I have an evil leader to call out my Optimus Primes!

I actually like the colors better than the G1 version; there's nothing about him that really bugs me, except maybe the excessive kibble; it's just that MP Prime was so much better than any other figure, and then you have this I guess it's easier for a big blocky truck not to have poo poo hanging off of it at all angles than a jet with wings, ailerons, fins and other poo poo protruding everywhere. At least he only cost me 70.
