All these were found at the SuperWalMart at Quebec Square in Denver.

Energon Mirage (x1, I have it now!)
Energon Arcee (x4)
Energon Insecticon (x3, got one)
Energon Divebomb (x5......first time I've seen it here in CO)

They also had 6 Megatrons, and a whole gaggle (10+) of 20th Anny Prime.

Hunting for Alt Silverstreak yesterday, which I didn't find, I saw:

Universe Ramjet @ TRU in Colorado Springs
5/24/2004

4 Remaining 20th Anniversary Hasbro Primes for $34.99 @ Target
in Colorado Springs (Platte location)

Those were the only highlights after going to 2 Wal-Marts, 2 Targets, and TRU!

Ah yes, T-1806. That's one of the 5 busiest Targets in the country.

I work at the Aurora Super Target, and in the past week, we have gotten 5 cases of the new assortment - Battle Ravage, Swindle, Grimlock and Windcharger. As of this morning, we had 1 Grimlock, 2 Swindles and 2 Windchargers. (I myself purchased 2 Battle Ravages, and one each of the others, for my MISB Alt collection.

And this is after having Smokescreens and Sideswipes for about 75% of 2004.

Cybertron found in Colorado!

Toys 'r' Us in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Plenty of:
Scattorshot
Ransack
Overhaul

Landmine
Dirt Boss
Thundercracker

1 of each found (and bought):
Hot Shot
Jetfire
Crumplezone

There was 1 Vector Prime left, but left him due to the paint apps (or lack thereof) and because I already have the GF version.


Also found 4 of each at the Super Walmart (I-25 and Academy):
Vector Prime
Crumplezone

This Walmart also had 16 Energon Mirages. slytf.gif
JABoyle3875
I've seen lots of the scout classes at the Toys R Us at I-225 & Mississippi in Aurora, where I also found and bought their one Crumplezone, Megatron and Optimus Prime.

The Toys R Us at Park Meadows mall in the Denver Tech Center had scads of Hot Shot, Landmine, Thundercracker, Dirt Boss.......plus a Megatron, some Vector Primes and one each of Jetfire and Scourge.

Between the two, I picked up both leaders, 1 each of the scout class vehicles, and Jetfire. If I had an extra $30, I would have bagged the Scourge, but man, I just love Jetfire in general and the AC-130 Spectre gunship that he is kindasorta based on. smiletf.gif

I in fact plan to one day buy another Jetfire and repaint him as an AC-130, and slap a couple of decepticon stickers on him. Face it....for an Autobot, that head is pretty evil looking.

Overall......I'm kinda becoming a Cybertron whore. I love every single one I have bought so far.

Walmart at Hampden and Santa Fe has all of the Deluxes (plenty of them) as well as losts of Optimus, Megatron, Crumplezone, and Vector Prime. They also had plenty of the basics: Scattorshot, Ransack, Overhaul, Clocker, Hardtop, and the Recon Mini-con team. No Scourge, Jetfire, or Supreme Starscream.

Walmart at I-70 and Youngfield had Crumplezone, Vector Prime, and Supreme Starscream (4 of them). No price, but I'm hoping he's cheaper there than he is at TRU (49.99).

Ooooo.....I have to go to that Wal Mart then, for Clocker, Hardtop and the Mini-Con team. Thanks for the heads up!  thumbsup1.gif

I took a trip up to the "Great White North" (Loveland and Fort Collins), the Loveland Walmart had all of the Deluxes, also Crumplezone and Vector Prime. Both waves of the Scout class were present as well.

The TRU in Ft. Collins had a scant amount of Cybertron (wave 1 Scout, a few Deluxes, Op and Megs), no King 'Screamer.

I've been to just about every Target from Colorado Springs to Ft. Collins, none of them have jack. rolleyestf.gif

That's because the Targets are waiting for their late July early August summer toys reset.....I happen to be a team lead at the Aurora SuperTarget, by the Aurora Mall. The F-ing Universe and Energon clearance (we have 15 signal flares for e-basics, that's it!) is still only at 30% at my store.

Nearly everything, except for Overhaul, I was able to find last night at the Quebec Square Super Wal Mart, so I now have the mini-con team, Hardtop and Clocker. smiletf.gif

Clocker was a bit of a dissapointment in robot mode, but Hardtop thoroghly rocks. I'm even impressed with the minicons, and usually I HATE minicons.

I hope to have my camera working properly so I can put up a picture of my Cybertron collection....smiletf.gif
Grindcore
Okay, it's official... EVERYONE has gotten Cybertron before Target (not knocking your place of work, JABoyle, just making an observation).

Kmart (Colfax & Chambers) now has Cybertron:
Wave 1 scout and deluxes
Crumplezone and Vector Prime

Usually Kmart is the last to get anything, Targets are usually one of the first stores to start getting new stuff. Just thought it was odd.

BTW, any hint of Alt. Swerve? I keep looking, but no luck.


Edit: I bought King 'Screamer tonight...  BIG toy...  eektf.gif
JABoyle3875
Oh hell, knock it. They deserve it.  Seems like that SuperTarget gets more and more screwed up every day.

Amazing that THAT Kmart (It is the closest one to where I live) got new stuff.......I have never found anything good there.

As for Alternators......the newest one I've found was Shockblast a month ago at the I-225/Mississippi Toys R Us. For the last 3 months, my SuperTarget has been innundated with Swindles and Windchargers. A while back they did a slight revision to that aisle, and knocked down the alts from two facings to one.....so when they did that, instead of 12 alts, they could put out 6. And they put out six Swindles! No wonder we have sold about 3 since then, and they have all been replaced by Windchargers.

Whoops - had to edit to change a name
JABoyle3875
SuperTarget 1471 (Aurora, CO) is now stocking Cybertron figures.....so far, everything except Vector Prime, Crumplezone and Starscream. I would imagine other Super Targets, Target Greatlands and regular Targets will be doing it about now too, if they haven't already.

The area assigned to it is about twice as large as the last Energon assignment.

And thanks to that, I got to pick up Universe Whirl for $5! smiletf.gif

Sweet deal on the Whirl! thumbsup1.gif

Yeah, I'm still hitting every Target I can... I haven't seen any sign of Alt. Swerve anywhere (I've been checking the TRU's as well). I've already gotten all of the Cybertron toys thanks to Walmart and TRU.  wave.gif

Anyways, thanks for the head's up on the Targets. Hopefully, they'll start putting out new Alternators! clap.gif

Whirl is certainly worth $5.....but not $20. icon_wink.gif

As of when I left work today at about 2:30pm, we had two Windchargers, two Swindles and a Battle Ravage out. The Alternators spot is only one facing wide, so they can fit a maximum of six out at a time.

But 4 feet of Transformer goodness is nice, since it's much larger than the last Energon space.

And BBTS has Hot Shot and Overdrive in stock there, so perhaps we'll start seeing them in retail stores soon. I'm not about to pay $13.99 for $9.99 figures....40% markup! Yikes!

I saw that the Toys R Us at Park Meadows had been restocked on Alts, and had a couple of Grimlocks, so obviously at one point they had a new case assortment there. But no Swerves, Wheeljacks or Decepticharges.
Grindcore
Yeah, I saw the restock of the Alts at TRU, but no Swerves. I don't think Decepticharge is out yet (at least not according to the sightings forum at the Allspark). redface2tf.gif

I stopped by 2 Targets tonight. The one at Mississippi and Havana still hasn't gotten around to their reset. Their toy department looks to have been ransacked by Mongolian hordes, so maybe it'll be soon. I also stopped by your Target, and you're right, they DO have a lot of TF goodness! clap.gif

I'm going down to the 'Springs tomorrow, I'll post any sightings I come across when I get back. thumbsup1.gif

The one at Miss/Havana is going under an even more major reset than mine, since the toys department used to be in the back of the store, as it is in mine. Mongolian hordes.....definitely true. smiletf.gif

That's a bad store anyways, two top 10% of the company stores are within 15-20 minute drives from it. Very weak sales, subpar restocking.

I REALLY want to get my hands on a couple of Overrides, when they are released to retail. One for me, one for the girlfriend who gets a kick out of the fact that there is a transformer that is female! smiletf.gif

Cybertron Override at the Toys R US, I-225/Mississippi, Aurora, CO! smiletf.gif

Only one, which is sitting on the couch next to me now. No Red alerts.

Well, I didn't find any new Cybertron down in the 'Springs today, BUT...

I found Alternators Swerve!!! boogie.gif

I found him at the Super Target down in East Colorado Springs (can't remember the cross streets), he was the only one there. He actually looks pretty cool. He also comes with the BT-06 flame decal (something I didn't know about), and even though he's yet another recolor of the Corvette mold, I'm still glad to have him.  biggrintf.gif

NICE. To be honest, I think I am about to give up on Alternators - in the past 3 months, I've seen ONE new one, Shockblast. The constant repaints and same cars with different heads are starting to turn me off too. Prowl.....looks like a supersized spychanger.

Whether I sell my Alts (every one up through Shockblast save for Grimlock) is another question, it would at least allow me to fund more Cybertron goodness, which is what I am truly digging right now.

Besides, moving into a new apartment soon, so fun money will be a less often sight.

Spotted ANOTHER Alternators Swerve today... the TRU by Park Meadows mall! eektf.gif2

They had a lot of the Cybertron toys (wave 1 only), it's nice to see a TRU that keeps stock on the new stuff! thumbsup1.gif

Damn, and here I just posted on the end cap that I'm selling all of my Alternators, I'm fed up with the distribution problems, and I'm enjoying Cybertron more.

Pity it's 15+ miles away from me (I'm in north Aurora, by Stapleton), or I'd run and check it out.

Just found Override and Red alert at the Super Target on Colorado Blvd and Alameda! They had one of each, snagged them both.

And Red alert is AWESOME!!! clap.gif

JABoyle, hope you find him soon. He's a surprisingly cool figure, neat robot mode and wicked transformation (one of the niftiest I've seen in a LONG time). thumbsup1.gif
Grindcore
Found Dark Scorponok at the Super Walmart on Parker and Chambers. Definitely a good thing hitting them early (less people, they stock at night so you're more likely to find new stuff), I went in this morning and BAM there he was! clap.gif

Haven't seen any more Red alerts or Overrides. Hope someone else is having better luck! thumbsup1.gif

May Axe wielding barbarians with dubious body odor invade your personal space.

Just kidding......I've had NO luck recently, but methinks we might see Mudflap and Leobreaker soon, since BBTS has them. ($9 markup on each)

Probably for the best I've had no luck, since I have ZERO bucks to spend - moving soon, and had to replace many of my Simpsons DVDs.

After paying all of my bills, I found I had an extra bit of money, so I went hunting. My first target was the SuperTarget where you found Red alert.........

The gods smiled upon me - they had another Red alert and Override, so I now have Red alert. smiletf.gif

You are right, nifty figure. Clearly inspired by the Dodge Magnum, too bad they don't sell a Magnum with the flip out guns for whittling down traffic during rush hour. smiletf.gif

My only complaint about him is that he's rather short and squat in robot mode. But still quite happy. smiletf.gif
Grindcore

Coolness that you found him! 2yay-thumb.gif

I saw another set (Override and Red alert) at the Target in Castle Rock. They also had Dark Scorponok. thumbsup1.gif

The Super Target at Wadsworth and Bowles had 2 Dark Scorponoks.

The Walmart at Santa Fe and Hampden also had 1 Dark Scorponok. I don't think he's going to be as "limited" as some people might have thought! wave.gif

BTW, I also took a trip down to the Toy Liquidators at the Factory Outlets in Castle Rock, and they had all of the latest wave of Energon toys (except the basics) on clearance! Deluxes were 6.88, Megas were 13.88, and Ultras were 15.88! They also had Universe Depth Charge and Tankor & Obsidian for 13.88 as well!

I know Wing Saber was kind of hard to find, but they had 2 of him sitting there. Awesome deal for anyone who hasn't found him yet! thumbsup1.gif
Grindcore
Long time no see! eektf.gif

I found Undermine, Brakedown, and Armorhide at the Walmart off of Hampden and Santa Fe. They only had one of each, I snagged them all.

I highly recommend Armorhide and Undermine. Armorhide is a neat looking truck, and Undermine is just wicked cool in both modes. Brakedown is very flimsy-feeling, but he's still cool. thumbsup1.gif
JABoyle3875
Nice......should have posted a few days ago myself. My SuperTarget (Aurora, I-225/Alameda) has 2 Dark Scorponoks, 3 Overrides and 3 Red alerts.

Thanks for the heads up on the 3 new scout classes. I'm hoping to see Mudflap soon, along with Leobreaker.
Grindcore
Yeah, I hear Mudflap and Leobreaker are both neat! thumbsup1.gif

I saw Undermine and Armorhide at the almost "Super" Walmart in Westminster (92nd and Sheridan). Didn't see Brakedown anywhere. I've also been seeing a lot of Overrides and Red alerts at Walmart lately, and the sightings thread at the Allspark has three sightings so far for Mudflap and Leobreaker, all three were sighted at Walmart.

Of course, I'm still going to check the other stores, as well. You never know... wave.gif

BTW, there are TWO Alt. Swerves at the TRU in Westminster. eektf.gif
Grindcore
Speak of the devil-bots...

Mudflap and Leobreaker, at the Super Walmart on Chambers and Parker Road. Only one each, I snagged both. I also spotted 2 Armorhides, and 1 each of Undermine and Brakedown (that was this morning, though).

I hope these aren't the only ones in the Denver area, too. Every Walmart I've been to in the last few days (except for the one I went to this morning) has had a bunch of the Voyager class stuff clogging their shelves. eektf.gif2

The Target at County Line Rd and University (right off of C-470) had 1 Leobreaker! (should still be there, sighted at about 6:30 p.m. tonight)

Dang, that's quite a drive from my apartment. (1st and Havana-ish.)

But at least I found 1 Armorhide, 1 Brakedown and 2 Undermines at the Toys R Us at 225/Mississippi. Bought one of each, $15 total after the Buy 2 get 1 free sale.

I think the way I'm going to scale back my Cybertron collecting will be to purchase only truly new molds.....no repaints/recycles.
Grindcore
Well, the new Super Target at Stapleton is open! (It's on 49th and Quebec)

They don't have anything BRAND brand new, but all of the Cybertron stuff (waves 1 & 2 of the basics and deluxes, wave 1 of everything else), they also did have Alternators Swerve, 2 Grimlocks, and 1 Swindle. My guess is that when they open a new store, they've already had the toy assortments packed for that store months ago.

The Super Target on Lincoln and Yosemite is supposed to open tomorrow (may already be open!), so I might go down there just to check it out. I'm still looking for the new Alt. Prowl that's out. I'm guessing that since I saw Decepticharge last week that Alt. Prowl is also out here as well. thumbsup1.gif

The ST in Lone Tree IS open - that one, Stapleton and one up on Kipling in Arvada all opened on Wednesday. Sunday is the official "Grand" opening. Wed = Soft Opening. And so far, the Lone Tree and Stapleton store have been VERY VERY slow, so merch won't move too quickly. Combined their first day, they did a touch under $35,000.....my store alone that day did $108,000. Colorado & Alameda.....$250,000 easy. Don't know about Arvada, they are not in my district so I can't check their numbers.

Lone Tree is in a great location, once people figure out they are open, look out. Probably will be a prime hunting spot due to merch moving. Stapleton will take at LEAST 6-10 months to wake up, you've seen how desolate it is right now with the construction. It was the same with my store when we opened, it was just us and the Sportsmans warehouse - everything else didn't even have a roof yet, if they even had walls.

And the Swerve and one of the Grimmys you speak of is no longer at the Stapleton store.......They are in my living room. I swore I'd give up on Alts, but I just can't. Addicted. smiletf.gif

I hope to have my collection caught back up within 4 - 5 months....after selling some of them off, I now need to reacquire Dead End, Meister, (Although I have a BT Meister to hold his place), and Shockblast, and acquire for the first time Wheeljack, Decepticharge and Prowl.

Thank god I held on to my Blue Tracks, he's rather valuable I gather.

My SuperTarget has been sitting on 4 Windchargers for at least 6 months now, and the store on Gartrell Road & E-470 has been sitting on 4 Battle Ravages.

I am trying to figure out though, why my store and Colorado/Alameda have such a larger space for Cybertron. Every other ST and Target Greatland have only one row of Cybertron deluxes, we have 4. Scouts, 1 for them, 4 for us.

Oh - spotted Leobreaker and Mudflap at the Super Wal Mart in Quebec Square......I took a look at them and wasn't exactly impressed in person, another reason why I'm back with my Alts. Mudflap especially looks rather cheap.

Indeed Prowl IS out in Colorado - I bagged him, Decepticharge AND Wheeljack at the regular Target on Lincoln and Parker Rd in Parker.....T-933.

That's the first time I've seen anything good at that one. They also had two BRavages, and a Windcharger.

Also went by the ST in Lone Tree.....jeebus, that's a nice store. They seemed to be pretty busy, but it IS grand opening today. They had two each of Swerve, Grimmy and Swindle.

Now I just have to kick myself in the ass for selling Meister, Dead End and Shockblast. If I hadn't done that, I would have a complete set right now! #@$@%%@#%$!!!!!!!

Damn... I've been missing posts! eektf.gif2

I spotted the Starscream vs. Vector Prime 2 pack at the TRU in littleton (South Wadsworth) yesterday. They had 4 of them, I didn't pick one up because I'm debating on whether or not to paint one of the Vector Primes. I do like the color scheme on the Starscream, though! thumbsup1.gif

As for the Alts, Tracks is making a comeback! He's going to be in the new bubble-style packaging along with Sunstreaker, Prowl, and Skids. I preordered the case (even though I have Tracks) from BBTS because I do not want to miss these guys! redface2tf.gif

There's a good chance you can still acquire Shockblast. I kep seeing him at the Target in Castle Rock. He's there just about every time I go there. I did see some Alt Dead Ends at a Kmart recently (the Super K up north in Northglenn on 104th avenue). I'm not sure if they'll still be there or not, but I'll post about them if they're still there the next time I go by that store. smiletf.gif

BTW, I got Mudflap recently... I think he's pretty cool! Definitely one of the better Cybertron toys (IMHO), and Leobreaker is not too bad, neither! thumbsup1.gif

Hmmm....interesting about Shockblast. My girlfriend is flying into town on Wednesday, and she is planning on purchasing a birthday present for me then. Since it will be her first trip to Colorado, a sightseeing trip to Castle Rock might be in order. icon_wink.gif And to Northglenn, too, to check for Dead End.

What is the price on the Vector-Screamer pack? Is it $34.99 like on the TRU website? That would be a little more than I would be comfortable with her spending on me (both of us are still poor college students), but one day I might pick it up for Screamer, and to repaint Vector Prime as an evil bot. smiletf.gif

I'd be tempted to preorder that case from BBTS as well, but I have them all already, except for of course Sunstreaker. icon_wink.gif

What is the price on the Vector-Screamer pack? Is it $34.99 like on the TRU website? That would be a little more than I would be comfortable with her spending on me (both of us are still poor college students), but one day I might pick it up for Screamer, and to repaint Vector Prime as an evil bot. smiletf.gif

Yep, it was $34.99! thumbsup1.gif

And if you repaint VP, you must post pics!!! biggrintf.gif

Oh, I will. smiletf.gif

Within the past two days, I have seen all of the latest wave of Deluxe Cybertron figs - Runamuck, Buzzsaw, Sideways, Blurr (GF got it for my B-Day), Snarl and Longrack at the I-225/Alameda SuperTarget (None now, but they were there yesterday), and at the Colorado/Alameda ST.....

Also, a Red alert at the CO/Ala ST with a DVD! Odd.

Thanks for the heads up! I ran around a bit to several Targets, and nobody had anything. I ran by the Colorado/Alameda Target and they did have a couple of Buzzsaws, 1 Snarl, and 1 Runamuck left. I snagged Snarl and Buzzsaw and left the Runamuck (sorry, can't stand that mold). They also had an Alt. Decepticharge and a Mudflap. rodimusgrinstatic.gif

I thumbed through all of the pegs, and it looked as though all of the Red alerts had the DVDs. Kind of cool, I guess. I'm dying to see what's on the DVD, as I have yet to see a single episode of Cybertron! clap.gif

Well, there's not much to report from today's rounds. Did find Longrack at the Super Target on 120th and Washington. They also had 1 Alt. Decepticharge. thumbsup1.gif

I stopped by the Super Kmart on 104th ave. They had 4 Alt. Hounds and 2 Alt. Silver Streaks. No Dead Ends. thumbsdown.gif

The Super Target at Stapleton Plaza had Alt. Prowl! I left it there (I preordered the case from BBTS which is supposed to have one in it), so some lucky kid or collector will find it! They also had 1 Alt. Decepticharge. clap.gif

Went to various Targets, etc. The one at Colorado Mills had a Buzzsaw and a Longrack.

Also went to the TRU at Park Meadows and saw 2 Vector-Screamer packs (bought 1) and THREE Alt Wheeljacks.  thumbsup1.gif

I'll be repainting one of my Vector Primes here over the next few weeks. smiletf.gif  optimuslaugh2.gif

I want pics of your VP when it's done! clap.gif

BTW, head's up (if you're looking for it)... the Cybertron Omega Prime has arrived at Costco! 31.99, I almost picked up 2, but Costco doesn't take credit cards. The one at Wadsworth (south of 285, can't remember the cross street) had a ton of them.

The Walmart next door had Cybertron Blurr and Longrack, and the Target at Wadsworth and Bowles had Runamuck, Blurr, and Snarl. They're all still there, I'm looking for Sideways (still!).

Edit: Actually, Costco does take American Express. But I haven't dealt with AMEX since they torqued me off over 10 years ago. thumbsdown.gif

At my (I-225/Alameda) SuperTarget, looks like they put out two fresh cases of Cybertron deluxes, including two of the oh so sexy Sideways figures. Also one Mudflap and one Leobreaker.

Would have picked up one.......except for the fact that sitting on top of 5 Windchargers...........was an ALT SHOCKBLAST! smiletf.gif smiletf.gif smiletf.gif smiletf.gif smiletf.gif So that's one off of my list, all I need is Meister and Dead End now.

2 Cybertron Evacs at the I-225/Alameda SuperTarget, I bought one. smiletf.gif Will have a review up relatively soon. smiletf.gif

Cool! I actually found one last night (would have posted, but I was too tired), but I'd be interested in seeing what you think of him.

I also found Sideways... FINALLY! redface2tf.gif I've been looking for one ever since he first started showing up in all of these sightings threads. I have to say, he is pretty damned cool. I'm glad to finally see what all of the hub-bub was about! clap.gif

I also bought Runamuck. Someone had told me that they really improved the mold. Well, the front end holds together better than Sideswipe's did. God, I hate that toy... post-25-1104974824.gif:

Anyways, I found Sideways at the Super Walmart at Wadsworth and Colfax. Evac was found at the Walmart on South Wadsworth (south of Hwy 285). It was the only one they had. They also had one Mudflap.

I haven't seen jack for Alternators lately. I'm hoping that this is a good sign, as it is hopefully clearing the way for the new assortment. thumbsup1.gif

I love Evac. I've got a review with pics of him up in the Toy Discussion section. Nothing fancy, just general impressions.

I was tempted to pick up the other one and put him on the End Cap for trade, for a Meister or Dead End.

I was at your store tonight, and saw that they had 2 Evacs sitting on the shelf! clap.gif

They also had Sideways. The store looked to be awesomely stocked on all of the TFs, except for the basics. Maybe this is a sign that they'll get the Wave 4's in soon. thumbsup1.gif

BTW, what's up with the 5 Alt Windchargers sitting on the shelf? slytf.gif

We've been getting fresh cases of the newest Sideways, etc assortment almost every two weeks now. I'm surprised at how many Dark Scorponoks we have warming our Ultra section - I want us to clear room for Red alert! smiletf.gif

As for the Windchargers.......yeah, I know. Pathetic. For several months, it was 6 Swindles....and a couple weekends ago, I found ONE Shockblast on our shelves, and he's home with me right now. That's been it over the past 6 months there.

What is really cruel is the star wars toys next to the Windchargers, which if you take but a brief glance down the aisle, kindasorta look like fishbowl Alternators at first peek. I know they've just been released in Hong Kong, so it will be a while before they are over here. But still.......

Compare that to the Alameda/Colorado store, where they had Decepticharge, Wheeljack, Swindle, Shockblast and Battle Ravage this past weekend.......
