Well, since i havn't seen one around here, I'll start one

Just recently I saw OMEGA SUPREME in Target at the holyoke mall and at KB toys in the eastfield mall. Also at the same target I saw 2 MEGATRONs and both ROLE PLAYING sets. Also at the holyoke mall there's a Cards and collectibles, who have 2 TAKARA SILVERSTREAKS.

So that's it for now, i'll report back soon.

Thanx Marx for starting the thread, i will add some of mine to this then... I am mostly interested in Alternators.

North Reading/Walmart, Woburn/Target: Only Smokescreen and SideSwipe, huge load of those, no sign of Hound or anything else. They are at regular 20usd price tag also, no sale no nothing...

you know what stinks? I live 5 mins away from the hasbro company building, yet i don't ever see any of the new transformer products until atleast 2 0r 3 months after they get released to the market. Do you have this problem too man?

hey Marx,

Where exactly is the Hasbro building? Let's go rob them some times...

were is it? East longmeadow, right next to hampden were I live. You go up some really big hill, then down this swervy one, and I think you end up on and you end up on route 220, the road that goes to enfeild conneticut, and to left of that swervy road is the hasbo office building. And sorry if i was serious about your question.

Sorry for the double post, but here's more specific directions.

Went to Newbury comics in amherst, they had MP prime and swidesweep(?) alternator. nothing esle too note worthy.

Um... Newbury comics eh...? I will add that to my search list, didn't know they carry alternators too.

Thanks for the map Marx.

your welcome friend! though i messed on hasbro's location, it's at the intersection of industrial and yorkshire.

Went to the TRU in springfield, they had one energon unicron and everything was 25% off transformers wise.

Toys "R" Us in Bellingham (Rt 495, Exit 18)

Powerlinx Optimus Prime and Megatron 2-Pack. $24.99

Woot, i'm gonna go check that out, or did you buy the only one?

There were quite a few of them when I left work Sunday night.

Hey Marx, what part of Mass do ya live in? I live around the border near Woonsocket and bellingham

I live near Right on the conneticut border in hampden county. Near route 220 and I-91

Hey glad to see a MA sightings thread!!
I live near Franklin/Bellingham.
Newbury Comics has the cool Takara PVCs too.

On to the sightings-
2 E-Omegas at Target in Milford
1 Alt Silverstreak at Kmart in Milford
3 Univ Battle in a Box Oil Slick at Kmart in Milford

woot, more MA peeps.

- 3 megs target at holyoke mall in holyoke
- 5 omega supremes!!!!!!! (wish i had the money) at Springfeild Wal-mart
- 1 arcee 3 insecticons at enfeild mall KB's in enfeild, Conn. (Hey, i live close enough)

hehe I am moving to Maryland at the end of this year.
anyway

Franklin- KB Toy Works 2 Omega Supreme 59$ + 20% off
I guess KB is having a 20% off tfs this week. Too bad they are so over priced.

The Bellingham Toy's r us has plenty of Reissues but it always seems late getting new additions in. I'm still want to get the powermaster prime and maybe sunstreaker whenever he comes out
Hey Zuke, do ya also live in franklin? 'cause i only know pretty much one or two actual TF fans where i live. u could say its not exactly popular here.

Ya I live in the area at the moment. Bellingham TRU reissues are crappy. They don't even have Rodimus yet.. Oh and Powermaster prime was sold out a long time ago.
The best place to go for older TFs (G1-Armada) is at the Emerald Square Mall at a store called the Toy Vault. Bring lots of cash and a drool bucket.
Also TRU in Attleboro seems to get the G1 reissues faster.

Funny how we live 15-20 miles from the world headquarters of Hasbro and we seemed to be the last part of the counrty to get new stuff.

Thanks for the info dude, but im not willing to spend 100 dollars for japanese imports. Not a millionaire or anything. But to find any of the alternators other then sideswipe around here would be a miracle. Hell, I don't even LIKE the ALT sideswipe figure. I'd rather get the silverstreak figure if anyone. Plus, I've only seen one MP Prime at the bellingham Newbury comics. And, its still expensive.

Dude, emerald mall has like the worst parking in history. Dude, you live in belligham, how can you be 15-20 miles from the world headquaters of Hasbro? Try like 68. Unless there's another building i dn't know about.

The Hasbro HQ on Rt 1 in Pawtucet, (yeah you try spelling it) RI. Ok so its alittle further than 15miles. I used to live in Attleboro and I would flip it off when ever i drove by.

Anyway did ya se anything nice at the Toy Vault in Emerald Mal?l

Na, my bros were going to ozzfest at the tweeter center but i didn't have the money to go along. But i did end up going to the wal-mart down the street were i first saw mirage, arcee, and insecticon.

But now to the sightings!

I also checked out the Bellingham TRU....like usual nothing new. Even all the E-Optimus VS E-Mini Megs were gone from last week. Their shelf label was even remove.

I left all of these as I am still hunting Shockblast.

I work at the Bellingham Toys R Us, and I can tell you that this weekend (9/10-9/12) we still have a few of the Op/Mini Megs box set >.>

We did get the Rodimus Prime Reissue, but we only got a whole friggin ONE of him. He's been in stock, just sold out.

Also, on the reissues, check out the prices on the scanner, or have the poor shmuck in R-Zone check the price out for you (we really have nothing to do some days). I think some of them may have dropped in price, but nobody bothered to re-label them. ;_;

If any of you guys are there on the weekends, pop in and say hello damnit! I'm the one that gets to do the YuGiOh league with a bunch of bickering little kids Saturday mornings (joy), or I'll be in RZone, playing Donkey Konga or something.

Really i saw 4 last week and on Friday I saw 0.
I will look for ya next time i am in there.


OK I got more another huge find!!
Raynham Super Walmart OPEN 24/7 so go NOW!!(off rt24 near Taunton Mall)
Lots of the new Powerlink Packs for the Omnis and Terrorcons..
plus..
1 E-Battle Ravage
1 E-Bulkhead (which means I missed Shockblast)
2 E-Omega
3 Alt Hound
3 Alt Dead End
3 Alt Silverstreak
Its funny they had zero Alt Smokes or Sideswipe...
Oh and 1 20th annv. Prime on clearance for 50$!!

Again I did NOT get any of these b/c I am hunting only Shockblast ATM.. Although Dead End was hard to put down. Even my wife wanted me to get him. But do to it not being yellow and called Sunstreaker I am boycotting Dead End.

I have no idea what I was thinking..When I checked Sunday morning they were all gone. I swear I've been there for too long. I'm starting to see stuff. >.>

As for your findings at this Super Walmart, I guess that's what's sucking up all the stock lately.

I know this is the MA thread, but I couldn't find the Rhody one, and I didn't feel like starting a Rhode Island thread, seeing how you can span the state in 20 minutes.

Anyways, here's what I found, and this might disturb you. I suggest you steer your children away from this.

Warwick, RI:
Toys-R-Us (Near RI Mall): Same old Wave 1 B.S. we've seen for the past year already. I'm having low expectations for this store.

Wal-Mart (Connected to RI Mall): They had 3 StrongArms, 1 of his repaint, and about 10,000 Ironhides and Scorponoks. Out of 8-10 feet they had set aside for TF, the entire section was a blank wall with empty pegs. (Inventory time?)

KB Toys (inside Warwick Mall): Where are your TF's anyways?

Woonsocket, RI:
Wal-Mart (Diamond Hill Rd): TF section goes from a halfway decent 4 foot section to a dispicable 1 foot section, crowded into a corner by Rockman.EXE and Pokemon figures. 2 Snowcats and a handful of Strongarms

KB-Toys (D.H. Rd, Sears Plaza): TFs moved to front of store for 20% off display. Clerk informs me that this is only temporary and will most likely be placed in its original section.

I fear for my area..

Quote: "i was the fat kid with the red hair. "

Okay everyone... We are now changing the sightings to "fat kids with red hair"
come'on Mass... call'em out.
Seen one... Mall next to the cookie shop...


yah.. this is fun...

The K-B toys in Franklin is doi ng terrible business. All the stores aroundm it are starting to close. There is always some sale when u go by it. I think they still have RID toys. It's sad, I used to buy Beast Wars figs for about 3 bucks there.

Still have RID? Any of the JRX team, or any optimus and magnus?

No they have Megabolt. Thats all.

Anyway got a few more finds for you all.

In the Shrewsberry Walmart on Rt.9 (across from Target) they have 16 yes I said 16, 20th anv. Optimus Primes. All on clearance for $50
They are in the toy clearance section across from the main toy section.
Go and feast my fellow transfans!!

Man this stinks, i'm the only person from western MA around here. So most of these sightings are useless to me. But anywhom, as i was sitting in math class today, i was thinking that us MA guys should get together some time. No clue were, but it would be cool to meet some of you guys and maybe do a little bit of trading.
But ya... got some sightings

Boston road Wal-Mart
Springfield

- 2 more dead ends
- 1 new OS, in powerlinx battle packaging
- the silverstreak i was hiding to buy tomarrow was purchased

I havn't visited my local Walmart lately, I think I will do that this weekend... hoping to see BT deadend, if they have, I will pick up one... (unless the real thing is really plastic looking...)

Won $20 from the lotto! Woot! i'm gonna go TF hunting tonight, so i'll report back with anything new.

TRU
Boston rd
Springfield
6:30 pm

-powerlinx prowl
-powerlinx rodimus
-poerlinx towline Finally, a new TF in this area

I got out of school early today, so I decided to do a little (well, a whole friggin day's worth) of TFs hunting. My search begins in Rhode Island (again, no thread, and the state's small enough to fit here)

Warwick RI:
WalMart, still recovering from Inventory.
Toys R Us, still recovering from wave 1 >_<

Woonsocket RI:
WalMart, Phase change from the horrors of my last post. Still nothing new
KB Toys, Nothing new here. Wave 1s

Bellingham MA:
Toys R Us, yet again, nothing new
WalMart, Lots of new packaging for older figures, Recolor Strongarm and Offshoot. Acquired Strongarm

Milford MA:
KMart, The usual. More repackages and more Offshoots
Target, Again, the usual. I guess I missed the new stuff

Framingham/Natick MA:
WalMart, More repackaging, same figs
Target, Repackaing, Towline. Acquired Towline.
Toys R Us, I'm starting to think Hasbro forgot about this chain
KB Toys, Recolors of Armada Cyclonus and Demolishor in older Energon packaging. $12.99 each. Didn't get any.

And from Yesterday at Emerald Square Mall
Toy Vault: CLOSED. Moving into new location within mall in October (It may take me some time to recover from this, especially because I want the Y-Wing in the window)
KB Toys: Again with the Cyclonus and Demolishor. Nothing else new.

Update:
Attleboro MA:
K-Mart: New packaging. Doom-lock, recolor Battle Ravage
Target: New Packaging. New location from phase change
WalMart: New packaging, same figures.

Thanks Frapp. I was going to go on the rt-495 search trip today, but seening there is nothing, I won't.

8:45pm
Eastfield Mall
Springfield

-4 repaints of armada cyclonus in energon packaging
-1 repaint of a armada demolisher in energon packaging

Heads up to all of us that can get to Bellingham Toys R Us

We just got a bunch of figures in the new packaging, and I believe, if I read the truck manifest properly, there may be some more coming off the truck for tomorrow. All right on time for the "Buy 2 Get 3rd Free" sale starting on Sunday 26th. I'll be in the R-Zone all day, so stop in and say hello!

Thanks for the info Frapp. I will have to visit you soon. Do you work any nights?

Newbury Comics in Bellingham has a ton of the new DW 2005 TF Calender for 13$.

Aye, I only work Friday night, Saturday day, and Sunday right now.

Oh man, i wish i leaved near you guys, then all these sightings would be really helpful

3:30pm
Target
Enfeild mall
Enfeild conn.

-1 powerlinx demolisher
-1 towline
-1 downshift
-1 powerlinx rodimus
-1 powerlinx prowl
-5 king atlas'
-3-4 megatrons (not so exclusive anymore )

Holy crap...

Hit the TRU in Bellingham as soon as you can. Or hit TRU in general. Warehouses are actually shipping stuff that's on sale for this week!

For the TRU in Bellingham: 2 Shockblasts, 3 Cliffjumpers, and 3 Mirage. These were just taken off the truck today, and are still sitting in the backroom on pallets when I left Sunday night. If they're not on the shelf, hunt someone down and ask!

I noticed 3 each of the Mirage and Cliffys and only 2 Shockblasts. Did the 3rd Shockblast go home with you?

Why god, why must you make TF hunting here damn near impossible.

He makes it fun. If you really wanted everything just buy it off the net or Ebay.

Hey, Frapp, since I live in Franklin, I still manage to get to Toy's r Us periodically, and are always looking fdor the new reissues, or the alt hound figure. he looks the collest of the series(Thats cheaper than Prime) , Oh yeah, are u still in high school or college?

Isn't this the point of sightings threads? To report what we find for other TFans to hunt down?


College.
