Man Prowl is awesome...still have yet to take Skids out of package...but Sunstreaker is awesome...

Any sightings of the supposed Cybertron 2-packs (Wal-Mart) in western PA?

Also would be seeking an Energon Cliffjumper of Beachcomber if those are among any K-B selections...

the Wal-mart in North Versailles has 5 of the two packs

plus 1 alt tracks and 1 alt prowl
the star wars transformers are there as well
Darth Vader
Obi-wan
General Grevious
plus the usual basic and deluxes that are out
there may be more but they toy aisle is not in any way organized

Harrisburg Target = Nothing at all
(non TF Stuff - Legos sold out....)
Looks like GI Joe didn't do to good, nor did Star Wars (have plenty of them)

Harrisburg TRU = Had 1x Swindle (Mine) 1x Swerve (Mine)
2x Reissue Silverstreak (1x Mine) - Poor guy was sitting on shelf since 1984...j/k
Minicon vs Packs...Wave 1

Non TF info
I also got Marvel Legends Mystique, only marvel legend was a rare (Go figure)
Almost all Legos were sold out....

Boscovs in Harrisburg Mall - all four bubble pack alts
vs packs Wave 1

I guess I spoke too soon.  C3 Wal-Mart had a bunch of the deluxe 2-packs.  I picked up four.  They had more than four different combos, but I think there were only eight figures individually, so if I had gotten more I would have had duplicates.  The figures that come to mind that they had in the packs are:  Landmine, Dirt Boss, Thundercracker, Nitro Convoy, Snarl, Noisemaze, Hot Shot, and Red alert.

They also had what I presume is a new case of Alts.  One each of Prowl, Sunstreaker, Skids, and Tracks.  Looked neat, but I do not really collect Alts.

I did not think to look for SW TFs.  Are they in with the TFs or SW?  I think they probably didn't have them though.

The TRU at C3 had... probably about 100 Cyb. Starscreams.  Seriously, they had about 5-8 other figures (one Prime, etc) and the entire rest of the TF display was full of Starscreams.  Boggles the mind.  Wish I could have taken a photo, but I don't have one of those camera phones.

the Star Wars Transformers were with the Star Wars stuff

I was at TRU yesterday I saw that wall of starscreams. . .I guess if someone wanted they could build a house out of all the boxes of him

at least they were 25% off of $49.99

Walmart Palyamra had crap nothing new save for
1x obi won kenobi star wars transformer (looked horrible...)other than that only wave 3.5 & wave 3
two packs
no alts
lots of dark scorpinok, scourge, jetfire 1 or 2 red alerts, 2 evacs, that about it......
Nothing impressive.......

EDIT ------------------------

Sorry forgot the most important stuff

KBToys Lebanon PA
1x Backstop
1x Wreckloose
1x Brushguard

(Harder to find those than it was Sideways)

Hermitage Wal-Mart had some of the Mini-con 2packs... also had all of the Wave 1 SWTFs except Luke Skywalker/X-Wing.

Picked up Vader... they are smaller than I thought they would be, but other than that nice detail and whatnot.

Ash

=\ I was in Niles, OH tonight, never even thought of going near Sharon/Hermitage. I'm not interested in purchasing any of the SWTF, but I'd like to see them in person.

Niles btw has literally nothing.

A-32,

I was in Niles day before yesterday, and yeah, they ain't got crap.

Overspent my money anywho :-P

I still haven't seen a single Alternator though :-(

My Wal-Mart had just gotten them in, and a friend of mine needed the two newest ones (Sunstreaker and Skids) and the instant I bought those for him, the entire assortment sold like hot cakes. Until I got 'em...they shelfwarmed.

It's odd they came out so early.

Any sign of BW 10th?

Both Wal marts in North Versialles and C3 have the 1st 3 beast wars 10th figures.
was looking at them and waspinator has a good bio on the back of the box. . . first one i've seen that was written to look like the character wrote it

"tired of being spare parts for rat bot. . . "

will pick him up tomorrow

Score!  Supreme Starscream at Target @ The Waterfront, $22.48.  I bought three   One for me, one for my nephew, and one for next year's kids toy drive.

They also had the new assortment of Alts, and Star Wars TFs, and the first three 10th Anniv. BWs.

The Franklin Mills Walmart had the new Alts in (prowl,skids,sunstreaker,tracks) but i bought all but tracks but it was coming in as a new product and since i work there i was able to look on the list in the computer and they were listed along with the beast wars 10th ann. figs so good luck and have a safe and happy new year

I found 2-packs of the Scout size Cybertron figures at Wal-Mart in North Versailles.  (They also had the Deluxe 2-packs but I had all those figures.)  I got 12 in all.  Score again!

Now I just need to start finding 2-packs of Voyager and up

2-packs of Scouts @ TRU Harrisburg (Prision Side) and 2 pack DLX as well

and Galvatron (left him)

Target has Starscream much cheaper than ace*mart 22.48 not bad...nice quality package too...some left...

In case you need any at this price just let me know and I will see what I can do.  My in-laws are in Harrisburg so wouldn't necessarily even need to ship

at Harrisburg Target
1x of each 10th anniversary
They had 2x (bought 1x of each)
1x each new alts...

nothing else new...

starscreams going fast...better hurry....if you want one as cheap as you can get them

Edit  also had star wars wave 1 1x of each (i passed on these guys)

A little birdie told me that Boscov's & TRUs in PA are stalking Minicons wave 2 in western pa, pittsburg/buttler/washington pa area....

Might be elsewhere...

can somebody confirm????

they were not on the selves of the monroeville or century 3 TRU's as of noon today

Just returned from C3 TRU they have finally restocked
now they are down to one shelf of starscreams

all four of the new alts are there plus 3x Soundwave and 1x Windcharger

2 C Galvatrons 1 Megatron and 3 Primes
a bunch of the basic two packs
but still no mini con two packs

forgot they also have the Beast Wars 10th figures
2 Rhinox
2 Waspinator and 1 Cheetor

I just picked up a red box Alt Decepticharge at the Waterfront Target for $10

I was hoping to find some 75% off Starscreams I had heard about, but the best I could do was one half off.

Boscovs?  I have never heard of that.  Mini-cons, I am seeing the 2-packs everywhere but I do not really follow them, so I am not sure what is wave 2, sorry.

And I was going to stop there at the waterfront today to see if I could find a Decepticharge and I figured they were all sold out due to christmas. . .I've been everywhere else and no one had them anymore

Spotted one at the Willow Grove Toys r Us earlier today.

Where is Willow Grove?

anyhow went to the Target at the Waterfront today they didn't have decepticharge but they did have 6 Supreme Starscreams for $23 in the clearance aisle. . .none of those at the C3 Target

Philly area, an Naval Reserve Station...

Any news on if any TRUs in WV/PA are closing?

It all depends where you are coming from, If you are going to be coming up to Willow Grove from the PA Turnpike then check page 4 of this thread and you will find the directions that I gave to Galvaspam to get to the Willow Grove Toys R Us from the turnpike.  Check a map if you want to find out where to turn off from the turnpike.

the three TRU's that i know of (Monroeville, C3, and South Hills Village) aren't closing.  At least they have not posted anything as of today of their closing

oh I also checked where Willow Grove is i'm on the Pittsburgh side of the state.]
Thanks for the lookout though

Target restocked 10th anniversary but it looks like Rhinox is more popular than the other two....

Just got back from the TRU off of Baltimore Pike outside Philly (Southwest) in Springfield, PA. It's going out of business with everything 10-20% off.

Also have the mega-buy sets. A ton of scouts two packages and the next grade up (forgot what's it call).

Picked up hardtop, scattorshot, armorhide and undermine all for $13.

Got lucky. No, no new TFs, but my TRU isn't closing! Woot@

That is good to know.  Incidentally the other three TRU's I can think of close-by are Robinson (IKEA), Ross Park Mall, and Cranberry.

The KB Toy Works on Route 30 next to the new Target is closing.
All Transformers stuff is 60-80% off
they have a few assorted cybertron basics and the universe micromaster Devastator sets
picked up the devastator for $7.00
still at least 2 complete dev sets left

Hmm, where on Route 30 is that?  By Westmoreland Mall or something like that?

thats on the Irwin section of route 30 right around the turnpike interchange

Okay, that's the one I was thinking of.  Ah well, too far to really be convenient for me.

This weekend I saw the Swerve and Swindle Cybertron Scout class recolors.  I think it was at the Century III TRU.  They have Galvatron too, but I think that's not really news.

not a big crapmart fan...(aka walmart) but sometimes they just impress/depress you

Stopped Palmaya Walmart because next to only Arby's in Area (yes they have subs) anyways

So they had Crosswise, Thunderblast, Brimstone, Wave 1 & 2 Small Pack Minicons in Bulk as well as DLX TWO packs 2 left, and Free Minicon Packs in bulk (save for Red alert Got the last one)

So Impressed with the selection depressed that they had so many wave 1-3 DLX, Voyager & Ultra's they don't seem to be selling them very well (as a matter of fact all the new stuff was in a seperate area...and the Minicon packs were in a Barbie End cap...Thankfully Fiance Likes Comic Barbies...(they are way behind on that series - She has Mary Jane & Invisible woman they only had through Harley Quinn)

The Wal-Mart in North versailles has

1 Cybertron Defense Armorhide
1 Dark Crumplezone

all the other usual deluxes and basics and two packs

Umm sorry fellas walmart just lost its place as the #1 place for new TF's

Check out your Boscov's

Mine had the latest Alternators (Ricochet, Rollbar) Latest Voyagers (Dark Crumplezone, & Scattorshot)
Latest DLX (Downshift, SWATSHOT)
Mostly the Latest Basics (wave before this one, Armorhide, Lizard dude, etc)
Also all current minicons
All current LOC

Also killer selection of Lego...
No More Marvel Legends for some reason...or maybe they moved them... needless to say they are doing great...

Opps almost forgot wave 1 Beast Wars
I am sure I missed something...
oh yeah they have them Star Wars TF's have no clue what wave but they had at least 4 different ones (I think that means at least 1 of wave 2) not sure...

Probably missed something else....

Edit
still have 1x Armada Scavenger @ $5
1x Armada Optimus Prime (Big Base Dude, non final battle)
and 2x Optimus Primal...

Lebanon PA Boscov's

All i've seen recently is Grievous...who sucks.

I should know.  I bought him, and i'm returning him.

Luke rocks, and i've been waiting for Obi to show up again...damn you!!

anyone seen em?  I live in Northeast Philly, and travel the surrounding areas.

Can you return a toy for not being fun?

That's actually not a bad idea!

Poggle the Lesser is already a pegwarmer here.

i saw boba fet, darth maul and anakin at the burlington walmart the other day.

That would be cool!Shame you cant though.

Sure you can - just make up a reason for it being defective.


Just don't tell them you're returning it out of spite. Spite is not a valid reason for returning an item.

Fake Excuses:
1.Parts breaking off constantly (limbs,weapons,etc.)
2.Too complicated to transform back and forth
3.You believe it has parts that are choking hazard's to your kids
4.Broke right out of the packaging

Now, return it! Now, everybody do this and you'll be able to return something.

well yeah his leg kept popping off, so i complained about crappy quality control...
got credit...
threw in a few bucks...
and got LEOBREAKER!!! Awesome.

Also saw CD Scat for the first time.  Next up in the wallet gouge...

they really could've done so much better with GG, he's way too flimsy and doesn't stand up under his own weight.

Ok, so we've seen em in Burlington, anyone in philly seen em in philly?
