Marx

zuke
So.. Its been awhile, has any found anything interesting lately, or are we all on a TF buying break?
theplasticone
Quincy Wallycron and Target at South Bay Center both have Swindle and Windcharger. It's all about the Star Wars Episode III merch for me right now.
Wheeljack1985
Liveing in northampton all i can find is Swindel,grimlock and windcharger and im sick of it
HEADMASTER
I bought the last ravage at the bellingham toysrus. I think it s been pretty slow lately in our area for tf's. Anyways, the big selections in toys now are in star wars unfortunatly. There $6 for a lousy figure! All i wanted was a stormtrooper! Not worth my 6 bucks. But ravage was definitly worth it.
zuke
Went to the Milford Target.

Try had
1 Alt Windcharger
1 Alt Shockblast
1 Alt Wheeljack (and I bought it) biggrintf.gif
2 Alt Streaks
The Alt Shockblast is still there.  Get it if you want him.
zuke
Anyone still seeing Deadend on their local shelves.  I am looking for him..
HEADMASTER
hey Frapp, i was at toy's r us on the 7th with a few friends of mine. i think it was you but i wasnt sure. I was asking about the tatakai game.
Frapp
Hey Headmaster. Yeah, that was me that you talked to. If you happened to haved looked in the parking lot and saw a white Chevy Cavalier with a damaged Autobot sticker on the hood, that's mine. biggrintf.gif

Anyways, my TRU (Bellingham) has had Alt Shockblast and Alt Wheeljack, but both went home with me smiletf.gif
HEADMASTER

MetroBub
Ok i know its been awhile.  Been busy doin other stuff.
But my target in holyoke is dry to. But i did manage to get my hands on extra shockblasts and wheeljack if anyones interested icon_wink.gif
Galaxy Maximus
Ugh.  S'been dry up around Melrose/ Saugus too.  Target is Sithed out.  Only a few superion limbs and about 4 Alpha Q's... redface2tf.gif
zuke
Well its been fun, but I have moved to Maryland for lots of different reasons. Good luck to you all in all your endeavors and most importantly you TF hunting.

From time to time I will be visiting Mass and will post any new sightings in here.

TRU in Bellingham (I-495, Exit 18) got reloaded on some Cybertron

3 StarScream, a handful of Megatron and Optimus Prime, more Jetfires, Vector Prime, Scourges, etc. These are on the first end-cap in the Action Figures section.

Also, we managed to dig up one whole G1 Reissue Inferno.
Frapp
Toys "R" Us, Framingham/Natick (Shopper's World Plaza, Rte 9, near Natick Mall)

More of the same Cybertron figures as in Bellingham TRU, but they had the Scout Class figures: Scattorshot, Overhaul, Ransack.
Vynce
I was born in Beverly, and spent more time than I'll admit in Taunton.  Have you guys been to 'that' Japanese-themed toystore in Boston?  I don't know the city too well, but it's right near a two-story building that houses a Japanese resturant.  And, there's a Ben and Jerry's place in the same building as the toy store. (I don't believe it's anywhere near Chinatown.)  I wanted to check it out while I was there, but it was closed.  It looked like they had plenty of re-issues and other TF goodness.
Frapp
That place in Boston, next to the Ben & Jerry's...

ANIME CRASH!!! I freaking loved that place. They had a bunch of Gundam and other mecha figures in there all the time. They also had one in Providence and New York City, but they both closed as well. Twas a damn shame though. They rocked.

Just down the stairs from that Anime Crash is a comic book place that sells some Japanese Manga and a handful of old comic book action figures.

Somewhere near that building though, I think it's called the Garage Mall, is another anime themed store call Tokyo Kid.. They're still around, and I think a CCG gaming store and a Newbury Comics is on the same floor as well. Definitely worth the look at Tokyo Kid, they got Japanese TFs in box.
Vynce
Yeah, that's the place!  I'm definitely going to make it a point to check both stores out next time I'm in Boston.  I spent a lot more time in the bars than shopping for toys, at the time.  In retrospect, this seems stupid, somehow.
zuke
Don't bother with Chinatown, last time I was there (November) I only found a few stores sellings toys, and they weren't any TFs anywhere.
Good Luck

Vynce, Taunton is an ok place, unless you don't speak Portuguese and have a problem driving on the worst roads in the USA. thumbsup1.gif
Marx
I finally found an optimus prime today at the TRU at the holyoke mall. Too bad I was short $20 icon_sad.gif
Frapp
My YuGiOh Card League kids informed me today that Newbury Comics in Bellingham is going under. Not much in the way of TransFormers there, other than a handful of figures and comic books, but anyone in the area should definitely check it out if you're in the market for anything else.

Hartford Ave. Take Right off Exit 18 (RTE 495). Same plaza as Regal (Hoyts) Cinemas, Chili's and Whole Foods supermarket.
Marx
I saw one clocker (which  I bought) and 2 hardtops at the TRU in the Holyoke mall in holyoke.


Note* This now brings my cybertron collection up to 6!
Marx
Found 3 ALT swerves at the TRU across from the eastfield mall in springfield.

HEADMASTER

Galaxy Maximus
Not sure if anyone was interested but the Kaybee at the Cambridgeside Galleria has a bunch of Energon figs for buy one get second half off.  I grabbed an Alpha Q (finally wasn't going to pay full price for him) and a Six-shot.  They did have TF Universe Snowcat for 12.99 too.
Frapp
I've noticed that a lot of the KBs that survived have a ton of the last run Energon figs. Most even still have the Constructicon Mini set.
Massdestruction
Avon Walmart has Basics wave 4 (Wreckloose and Backstop) and Deluxes wave 4 (Snarl, Sideways, Crosswise, Brimstone and Thunderblast). Look for the endcap across from the bikes. Plenty of each figure.

I will be travelling to Boston for a day or so, does anybody know of a good place to shop for transformers while I am there?  I will be in the downtown core, and the MIT/Cambridge area.  I will be on foot most of the time so I will not be able to travel far.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Frapp
Garage Mall - Last I checked there's a store in there called Tokyo Kid. A lot of Japanese and KO TFs in there.

Nobody new yet. The latest Alts I've seen are Richochet, Rollbar, and Skids, among some old ones in the new bubble packaging.
