Lets get some sightings up Virginians!  DC/MD sightings are more than welcome here as well



Found Rodimus Prime and Dirge reissues at Sterling TRU going for $35 and $30 respectively. Landmine, Wave 2 Deluxes and Basics were also in full stock

Hit Target, Reston K Mart and Reston Target and found more of the same along with 20th Prime. Sadly didn't find what I was really looking for: King Atlas Anyone in VA found him?

check Burke Targets and Burke Wal Mart, for King Atlas, he was there ..one should be left

since MD stuff is welcome, i saw dirge and roddy prime at gaithersburg, md TRU
also 1 20th prime there, black gun

Sterling Target has King Atlas! Got one three left....SWEET REPAINT

E Unicron is on sale for $30 at Vienna TRU, was VERY tempted to get him but passed

Saw two Universe Ramjets @ Sterling TRU

Most Targets in NOVA are carrying the one handled Divebomb so if you wanted one, now's your chance

Come on, I can't be the only Virginian on this board

Found all the Defensor micromasters except Hot Spot at KB in Sterling, rung up at $3.99 each

Went to Sterling Target and suprisingly enough, there was one Demolishor there, didn't get (already got mine from AHQ two months ago ) Still its a good sign that Target's getting some Wave 3 in

I found the "Metroplex" wave of Heroes of Cybertron at multiple Kroger's, from Richmond to Charlottesville. I thought that they were supposed to be out months ago so this might be old news, but this is the first that I've seen of any HOC figures outside of collectible stores.

Also, KayBee has Armada Unicron on sale for $25.

Va beach target has about 5 anniv. primes a coupla smokes and sides

Sterling Target had Wave 3 Basics in stock, with several Arcees and Insecticons

This is a shocker, I went to Sterling Target hoping for a Bulkhead or Silverstreak, didn't find neither but I did find....OFFSHOOT?! Yep, only one there (which I got ) no sign of Energon Strongarm. Still, sightings just got reported this week and he's HERE?!

Found Energon Strongarm (repaint) @ Reston Target today

offshoot is even showing up here in canada so no big deal at all -_-. ENERGON strongarm has also showed up here in toronto so you should be getting him soon as well if you don't have him already =).

Holy crap, I found Towline in VA

Was at the Kohls in Herndon. At first, it looked like all the old stuff like Demolishor, Snowcat etc and just when it seemed hopeless, I noticed that a Starscream was behind a basic and behind SS was Towline! No Downshift or Sharkticon in sight tho (not that I need them, thx to AHQ )

I got the Downshift from that Kohls several days ago, also got Omega from the brand new Leesburg Target, none left, and they have tons of the roleplay weapons there...

Got the last OS at Leesburg Target Also there's one Megatron's Sword and 2 roleplay blasters there

Saw a few Omega Supremes at the Gainesville Super Target on July 30th. There was one left after I got mine.

Shockblast and Cliffjumper at Roses Dept. store none left at the Onley,Va store me and my friend bought them, but if you've got a Roses near you go and check them out you might be surprised

BIG thanks goes out to Deathasarus G1 for letting me know that Chantilly Target had Nemesis Prime in! They weren't on the shelves so I called them up early morning and gave the DCPI 087-06-0358 and they held one at the desk for me. Def call in first and check as the number does work

AWESOME figure

Got the last Dead End and Silverstreak at Sterling Target, 2 Hounds left

Transformer Sightings in and around Roanoke VA:

As of yesterday Wal*Mart in Radford VA and Christiansburg VA both have Silverstreak and Hound. C-Burg has a bunch of Tfers on clearance. (Armada Unicrons for $50) Radford Wal*Mart has one 20th Ani Prime on clearance at $50. Valley View and Bonsack Wal*Marts both have Smokescreen and Sideswipe. Valley View Target and Toys-R-Us have a few Smokescreens, and the Toys-R-Us has a HUGE number of reissues plus a half off sale that will get you Unicrons for $30 (no lie) and lots of big powerlinxses for cheap. Havnt been to Salem Wal*Mart or C-burg Target yet. Any Roanoke area TFans have any news?

I saw one Energon Hot Shot at Reston Target, but then returned him 20 minutes later at Sterling Target and picked up Cruellock instead

Leesburg Supertarget: Towline, Downshift, Sharkticon, E Hot Shot, and the new basics.

I bought all but Towline (whom I already had and recommend) and the basics.

Alt. Deadend, Silverstreak, and Hound keep popping up around Virginia, Beach and Newport News Wal-Marts

Roanoke are sightings

Bonsack Wal Mart has Alt Silverstreak, Hound, Dead End, and Smokescreen

Radford Wal Mart has Alt Hound and Sideswipe, but I bought Hound.

Found Dreadwing at TRU in Vienna, picked that sucker up, very nice figure, thought it might be bland at first but he's really great

Also saw Landquake at Reston (STILL no Bulkhead )

Hey everyone! I'm posting for the first time... wanted to let anyone interested know that at least 3 different Super Kmarts in the VA Beach area have recently had a decent amount of Alternator Hounds, Bluestreaks (I refuse to call him "Silverstreak"... yes, I'm one of those...) and Dead Ends. The one at First Colonial had 3 Dead Ends and 4 Hounds the other day. (I bought 2 Dead Ends, 3 days apart. Planning on making one a Sunstreaker repaint / kitbash, if anyone has any suggestions or helpful hints...) Holland Road had like 2 or 3 each of Streak and Dead End, and like 4 Hounds. Military Highway Super K (Norfolk) had a few of each, also. Still haven't found any Tracks or Jazz (Meister) yet... if anybody does, let me know! Also, the Wal-Mart over off of General Booth had what looked to be a few cases worth of 20th Ann. Optimus (like 7 or 8, at least) on clearance for GASP! $49.97!!!

Norfolk K-Mart (Tidewater Drive) had a Shockblast today. $21.99 sticker price, but everything in the store is at least 10% off, so he is probably less than $20. Is anybody even reading this thread anymore? Anybody seen any of the new ALTS in Va Beach area at all? Tracks, Meister? Anyone? Hello?

I'm still here Just haven't found anything new worth posting save for sales Man I wish the new alts would show up already, anyone have any luck on the latest universe deluxe wave (cyberjets 2pack, red armada blurr)

I've seen some new two-packs at K-mart, may have been the jets. Honestly, I don't pay much attention to the new lines, save for looking through the energons for an Arcee. (And the alternators, of course.) I'll keep an eye out for ya though, and let you know. Any word on when the latest G1 reissues are due at local TRU's? I've seen Skids, but no Swipe or Stepper...

Norfolk TRU has the fatimus prime / megatron two-pack, the figures are smaller scale. Norfolk Target had 4 of the older blue energon Ironhide on clearance for $4.96, plus one other autobot from the same line / time period, a construction frontloader thing called Treadbolt or something like that, also $4.96. They had a bunch of Omega Supremes for like $46 something, not much of a sale on that, but cheaper than TRU.

Not quite in VA, but hey its close enough ....

Wheaton Mall MD

KB Micromaster Constructicons
Tracks and Meister at Target

Shouldn't be long till they are in VA

I saw Alt Tracks at Target in Va Beach yesterday, but it was gone today. Only one case on the shelf, (Tracks x 1, Dead End x 1, Hound x 2) so maybe the next case in will be with Tracks, Meister, Grimlock, or Windcharger... also they had some Universe Nemesis Primes, and Omega Supreme was $44.96 as opposed to the $50 everyone else wants for him... also, Energon Ironhide (blue), Treadbolt, and Jetfire were all on clearance for $4.94 each. Picked up one of each, even though I don't collect Energon figures yet. Couldn't turn down a $20 bot for $5... I got the last Jetfire, but there were a few more each of the other two.

*** EDIT - I think they had Bulkhead as well, but I'm not sure. There was a decent selection of Energon stuff there. Alot of Command Ravages, plus other basics.

Va Beach Target definitely has 2 Bulkheads, $24.99. Also had the Energon SWAT team, Prowl and Checkpoint (Rodimus repaint.) Sweet looking set, IMO. Still plenty Nemesis Primes, too. And a few Kmarts around town are getting Arcee now, too. I've seen a total of 3, bought two. One left at Hiltop Super K, $7.49.

11/12
Energon Galvatron at Leesburg Target Called them in the morning, asked if they carried it, they said yes so I had it held at the desk and went and picked it up later in the day. GREAT figure!

Pembroke Mall KB Toys in Va Beach had 3 sets of Micromaster Devastator, I picked up one set. This was at approx. 11 a.m. today. ALSO: all boys' action figures were 20% off, so I got all six for the price of 5. Came to $20.10 with tax. For this sale, all sales are final, so no returns. They also said they were expecting a truck in at 2 p.m., so tomorrow morning I'll be checking back with them in the vain hopes of finding a few new Alts.

Hit Sterling Target and picked up Omega Sentinel on sale for 40, one left. Vienna TRU should have some in as well. Also, Reston Target has one Meister and Tracks

11/27 - One Steamhammer (bought) and one Storm Jet at Reston Target

Norfolk Walmart had a TON of Energon goodies... Grimmy and Swoop 2 pack, Wing Saber, Cliffjumper, Shockblast, Dreadwing ("?" Mirage repaint) All were reg. price, $19.76. AT LEAST 8 of each, on a huge endcap. I might go back later and grab the dinobots 2 pack...

Va Beach and Norfolk TRU's each had 4 of the Stepper/Riccochet reissue. $34.99... pricey pricey! (Can't. Resist. Must. Go. Back. Must. Buy...)

Va. Beach had red markdown stickers on a few other reissues... 14.98 for Thundercracker and 12.98 for Grapple, I think. close to that, anyway...
(Paid full price for mine, eons ago. )

Sears in Pembroke Mall (Virginia Beach) had the micromasters defensor pieces, like 3 or 4 of each.

Sterling TRU has several Ricochets in stock...

No luck on the Meister btw

No prob, I picked one up in a trade in the endcap. Thanks for looking again though...

*edit* - BTW, you ever feel like we're the only two collectors in VA, or are we just the only two who want to try to help others find stuff too?

Bought and returned Ricochet from Sterling TRU, the quality of that mold is very much lacking.

Steamhammer was at the Leesburg Target last night.

All 3 Walmarts close to me (Va Beach area) have a TON of the combiner bodies... Steamhammer and Storm Jet. I grabbed one of each for my trade thread, along with a Wing Saber, also for trade. Are any of those guys still hard to find, or should I take 'em back?

Oh, and Deathsaurus G1, what's so bad about the Riccochet mold? I was gonna get one when the price drops... PM me if you don't want to clutter teh sightings thread. Thanks!

Car doesn't fit together on either of the two I had, and the piece that you peg Nightstick into kept falling off....

I wasn't impressed.

I'll probably still get one then, if that's all. I display in robot mode anyway, and the Jazz mold was a favorite as a kid. Jazz never really lined up right as a car anyway...


*Steers thread back on topic*

Saw one Alt Tracks at Va Beach Walmart, Dam Neck area.

If anyone is still looking for the org paint of Mirage.. there's a few here at my local Roses store in Chesapeake, Virginia. I want one.. but can't afford it, they have a few Mirages, Shockblast and org paint of Rodimus and a few others...
