K-Mart @ Dayton Mall has
Armada Supercon Prime x2
Armada Gold Prime with Jetfire look further down in aisle to find it
1x Universe Skywarp
Massive Number of Minicons on top shelf, I grabbed the last Redeco Emergancy Team (since I have been meaning to pick it up)
EDIT they also have Universe Optimus Primal & Universe Razorclaw
And for some reason I think they had a Energon Landmine on sale cheap, but couldn't swear to it...
Target @ Dayton Mall had Glowbots, first sighting in Ohio me thinks, I grabbed one Taxibot what remains
1x Taxibot
1x Buzzerbot (Glowbot)
2-3x Skydives
K-B still doesn't have G1 Spychangers I was shocked.
Nothing else special @ any other locations, however I did not check Dayton Mall TRU
FYI Fanfics in the Mall might be moving somewhere, since this is one of only 3 potintal places to get TF comics in Dayton just thought I would say something.
Oh and if your looking for G1 Marvel Comics they have plenty I also have a few duplicates.
mflinn
May 1 2004, 07:15 PM
Trip to Cinci today
@ Target on 71 they had Taxibot
@ KB Outlet in Xenia Outlet Stores they had
Notice the big blank space?
Okay that about wraps it up for what I found today other than rain...

May 5 2004, 08:43 AM
BX has HOC Wave 5 1x of each figure with some Paradon Medics it can't get rid of
Speaking of can't get rid of they also have Armada Scavanger
Walmart in Salem has 4-5x Sunstorms and Wave 2 Dlx Energon but only 1x each figure....lots of Megatrons and nothing else of note, oh wave 1 or 2 Universe if your looking for older figures Walmart seems to be the place....just watch the high prices and falling stuff from the top of the shelves...and the spills and such.....gosh that Walmart is really gettoh more so than the rest of them......

No news on Defensor @ Dayton Mall KB's
Absolutely nothing new @ Dayton Mall TRU
Edit - What is everybody looking for in Ohio?
I am looking for Demolishor & Mirage...

Columbus has been a total wasteland as far as anything new.
Shelves at ToysRUs, Meijers, Wal-Mart, and K-Marts are clogged with tons of 1st wave Energon figures, as well as many Prowls and basics.
Still have not seen a single Arcee, Insecticon, Mirage, or Demolishor.
Heck, there are a ton of Armada Smokescreens still in a lot of places.
Apparently Kay-Bee had a sale this week, but from friends who went, they didn't have anything new but they did have G1 Keychains.
Overall, central Cowlandia is just clogged with old stuff.

Picked up an Energon Mirage (leaving none) last night at Wal-Mart in Parmatown Mall. (Yes, we have a Wal-Mart in a mall in Cleveland. No jokes please; I've heard them all!) They restocked their Energon basics too, but I didn't find Arcee or Insecticon. Being so limited in the cases right now, someone may have grabbed them before I got there.
Point being, Cleveland Wal-Marts are restocking this week and getting new stuff out on the shelves. Happy hunting!

just got Energon ARCEE and Insecticon at walmart in miamisburg, should hit the super walmart in kettering before friday. I got there at 6:00am and there was only one

Second hand knowledge, but my friend went to Walmart here in Dayton, he didn't say which one(didn't think to ask since I don't go there but once or twice a year), and he found a stash of hidden Mirages, he took it home and discovered it didn't have a battery cover, he took it back and they gave him his money back and he inquired if he could go get another one, and they stated that they shipped them back because they all were missing a part...
Dang that sucks...
But he could be feeding me bs...
Just FYI
ON to Today's Finding Meijer on Harshman Road
Restocked recently
Tiny Tins are down to Three Mirages
Energon
Rodimus seems to be sailing off the shelves
one prowl hidden above
no wave 3 Energon, at all not even hidden
3 Unicrons (one more than last time they must have sold one and got two in because the colors flopped before i was 2 black and now they have one black and two armada colored.)
Lots of Treadshots
one Ironhide
Jetfires don't stay in stock
Universe
Skywarp decieded to return
Skydive is hidden above down the isle aways, and one in the normal spot
Triceradon check where the other sky dive is
Millions of Wave 1-2 Energon Basics, no Arcees though
Down to two Energon Primes down from 8 (he seems to be selling well there)
Lastly a few tidalwaves maybe 2
Landmine has yet to make an appearance at this Meijer Location
Alternators 8x Smokescreen (I am assuming all Smokescreen, because they get 1 or 2 Sideswipe in and the next week they are gone) Sad cause it always seems to be before I get paid) Since I want another one...
Edit - Meijer also had lots of Universe Megas Primal, Depth Charge, and Two Pack...

I read another post about the mirage missing the battery cover, there may be some truth to it, I havenot seen any mirages anywhere myself

Spotted (and purchased) Energon Insecticon last night at Wal-Mart in Strongsville. No Arcees, Demolishors, or Mirages.
I think a bunch of Mirages shipped out like that - a couple people on the TNI TF boards were complaining about the same thing. Mine was fine.
Quick sidenote - unless you're a completist, skip Insecticon. By far the worst of the Terrorcons; this guy even makes Battle Ravage look awesome.

May 14 2004, 01:09 PM
I've found both Demolishor and Insecticon at Walmart here in Cleveland Heights, but that's it. Target, of course, has nothing.
I disagree about Insecticon - he's not the best, but I think he's a pretty good toy. I like the old G1 stuff the best, however, and he would have been considered a pretty articulated one for that line.

May 31 2004, 03:20 PM
Beavercreek Walmart
Nothing at all not even Wave 3 Basics
Wave 2 Basics
Wave 2 Dlx's (not many)
Exclusives on Sale :-)
PS the inventory is scattered all over the place so look all around if you want to brave going to this dirty store...
Quickshift
Jun 1 2004, 07:50 AM
Medina Wal-Mart has Insecticon and Demolishor; they had Arcee last week, but they're sold out now. No sign of Mirage since a few weeks ago when I spotted (and bought) the only one at Parmatown Wal-Mart. Zilch for new product at Targets, K-Marts, and TRU.
Fujikuro - have you checked Targets for any 20th Primes on clearance? I haven't seen any, but would like to pick him up if he's cheap. I live on the west side, so I've yet to get out to any east side Targets to see what they've got.

Huber Heights sounds like a great place to get TFs - I remember a posting on Unicron.com a while back stating they had 3 Ultra Magnuses there for a while! Still, it's nice to know that Silverstreak has at least made it into Ohio... the hunt is on!!

Yes I went in there as an after thought, on my way home from a movie.
Normally that walmart doesnt have anything. The target accross the road always has new stuff, but 90% of the time I stay out of that walmart
the sad part here is I wont be happy untill I have found yet another streaker, to finish my current kitbash\redeco project

Let us know, Rat... that may just be worth the road trip from Cleveland!! (Lots of stores between here and there to hit - I could have one mega toy-hunt day!!)
Still nothing new to report in the Cleveland area. Checked WM in Strongsville, Parmatown, and Brooklyn within the past 3 days, Brunswick K-Mart yesterday, and Target in Strongsville, Parmatown, and Northfield in the past 3 days. I'm headed out to Westlake today and will check the Target and WM out there.
UPDATE: Brooklyn WM has nothing new, but only 2 Smokescreens for Alternators... could a restock including Silverstreak be coming soon?? Westlake WM has nothing good, and 23 Anniversary Primes - hopefully a clearance sale will be coming soon on those! Target in Westlake has the Universe Mini-Con Tiny Tins. Yea.

Best place in Cincy to find new TFs is a Walmart actually.
The one on Colerain Ave. by I-275 usually gets everything new first.
It's where I got Mirage (with battery cover intact), Demolishor, Insecticon, and Arcee, but I haven't seen Silver Streak yet.
Trick to Walmarts is to look in their overhead storage areas. I've found more new toys up there than on the shelves themselves.
SMITHSQUARED
Jun 16 2004, 04:33 AM
Congrats Rat, and IcePagoda is right, my wallymart, near the dayton mall, has 6 anny primes on the the top shelf (along with about 30 e-megs) i dont kwow if they are waiting for something or are just stoopid
Quickshift
Jun 16 2004, 11:53 AM
I've also heard the shelf tags themselves have codes on them which indicate how long it will be before the item is restocked. I think 'A' and 'R' denotes a shipment within the week, but I'm not sure. I haven't crossed paths w/ the toy manager who told me that since then, and the regular crew doesn't seem to know anything about it.

Huber Heights has been Quite lately I am thinking the Target up there is due for some Alternators if I remember it only had one or two...
THere stock of TFormers was depelted minus the Universe Infernos & Ratchets...
So maybe they restocked...they seem to do a good job of keeping stuff off the shelfs (AKA Selling stuff)

post pics so we can enjoy...dayton south as in Dayton Mall Target, TRU area etc.
Meijer harshman had nothing new as of yesterday...but they did have a restock on
Skywarp
-which when it goes on sale i am going to grab another one because he is popular...seems that he takes over the #1 slot of # of toys there the rest is distrubited.
They also have Black Archina if you are looking for her...
Optimus Primal had returned I think he sold out so they moved stuff in from other stores to see if it sells here...
No restock of Arcee or Insecticon past the intinal stock leads me to belive that basics aren't selling well which means a sell on them before too long...
Time to pick up triplicates of Divebomb when that happens
