Unfortunately I never have any knowledge of the stuff that comes in the store, let alone what the price changes would be until they come down the chain of command.

I will, however, be sure to post it here if there ever is a price change for any of the TFs.

Going to the Super Walmart tonight in Raynham/Taunton (off Rt 24). They had a ton of Alt Streak, Hound and Deadend last time I was there. I will give an update when i get back.
theplasticone
...Anyone on the South Shore find anything? I know the new Target at South Bay Center has Smokie and Sideswipe, as well as some of the newer Energon stuff, but I haven't been there in at least a month. The KB at the South Shore Plaza is the suck for finding anything (though I scored some good Star Wars figs once), ditto the TRU right across from Target.
zuke
Got back from Super Walmart and....
They had
2 Sharkicons
2 Energon Hot Rods
1 Wheeljack (downshift)
1 Slugslinger
and lots of other newer figs in the PL packaging.
Wheeljack and Slug went home with me biggrintf.gif

As for Alts they didn't have anything.....Last time I was there (2weeks ago) they had the 2 each of Hound, Streak and DE. So they should be getting more in soon.
That Raynham Super Walmart is worth the trip for all you who live within a 20 mile raduis. Its open 24/7 so you can go whenever.
Frapp
Are there any other stores nearby the Super StarDestro....er..Super Walmart that would carry TFs? I'd hate to drive all that way for 1 store, as cool as it might be.
zuke
There is the Taunton Mall which has KB and Target is also in Taunton. Both the Mall and Target are on Rt 140 in Taunton. Another store "Bennys" but the selection is older. Thats about all for stores in that area.
Frapp
Was in Framingham visiting some college buddies. Figured I might as well scout around.

Rte 9
WalMart - All older, same-ol same-ol stuff
Target - Same stuff. Energon Hotshot repaint. Autobot Whirl (Universe)
TRU - Same old stuff.
Frapp
Apologies about the double post >_<

I know it's rather late in the game (for the Buy 2 sale), but the Bellingham TRU let a few green tag items slip and we never caught them. The 29.99 Energon figures (Tidal Wave, Scorponok, Landmine) will be green tag (as they seem to be at every other TRU). Also, I informed the manager for the action figures/boys section to check the prices on the G1 Reissues, as most of them aren't even priced, or are priced incorrectly.

(Goddamn, I almost sound like a cheerleader for my store >_<)
zuke
I was at your store the other day Frapp. Nothing too exciting. I was hoping to see a few new deluxes but oh well. Please PM or email me when and if you see G1 CS Sideswipe or Stepper. The Attleboro TRU had all their Energon 29.99, green tagged as well.

Oh and sorry about MSN I was at work and had to go.
theplasticone
Hit the South Bay Target today. Two Smokies, two Sideswipes. Typical Energon selection (Inferno is the only one I remember, but there were many more.).

You went on the wrong day!

Just saw these today in overstock: Bellingham TRU

- A ton of PL packaged Omnicons. Doom-lock, Command Ravage included
- Energon Ironhide, Recolor Mirage, more Shockwave, Cliffjumper

I'll try to post if we ever see new G1 reissues.
-----
Don't worry about it the other day on MSN. It's cool.
zuke
Recolor Mirage!! You mean Dreadwing!? I will be there tomorrow (sunday) W00T!! I saw Cliffjumper the other day in the overhead but I didn't feel like getting a ladder or TRU Worker. IS the buy 2 get 1 free sale still on?
Look for a guy with a short hair cut and a blond wife who look like she doesn't want to be there. smiletf.gif
theplasticone
Has anyone found the Alt Meister yet? Just curious.

Haven't seen him. I have seen DeadEnd, Streak and Hound. Look through the thread for my sightings of them.

Ok another update from the Raynham Super Walmart. (my parents live near it thats why I am there alot)
They had a lot of new $9.97 (forgot class name) powerlink packaging.
3-4 Sharkicons
3-4 Energon Hot shots
3-4 Slugslinger
3-4 Towline
3-4 Downshift

I say 3-4 beacause there were too many to count and I have all the ones I want (Downshift and Slug).

Good luck!

Spingfield TRU
Boston road

Well, since you guys have been talking about how TRU has been getting in alot of new stuff, i went over to my local one to check.

-5 hotshot repaints
-3 towlines (got one for me self)
-4 downshifts ( Got that too)
-a bunch of powerlinxed inferno's,prowls, and rodimus'
-1 cliffjumper (bought that one)
- a few command ravages
- there was also a few doom locks as well

What i thought was really funny is that in the display case they have now, omega supreme's head was transformed wrong. i wanted to open it up and fix it, but they might have been thinking i was stealing. But ya, that's it for now,.
Frapp
No new stock at the Bellingham TRU, but they have made a slight change.

The $29.99 guys (Tidal Wave, Scorponok, and Landmine) have been moved with Armada Unicron's to a bulk stack in the front of the store. They all have been updated with Green Label (finally), so if you haven't got them yet, now might be a good time thumbsup1.gif

To take up their space, the new $19.99 guys have been moved to the shelf, so no more playing Spiderman in the Action Figure's aisle.

Thats great news. I feel bad for whoever bought that Shockblast that took the 15 foot dive off the top.

Anyway don't forget to hit up your local targets.
Huge sale this week on all TFs.
HEADMASTER
Thanks frapp. Im going there this week
zuke
Super WallMart in Raynham had 1 Landquake. meh..
bluestreak1701
Hi Guys,
Taking a trip to MA next week and hoping to get hold of 20th Prime and as many of the alts as possible. Can anyone recommend any places that are:

1. cheaper than others or have sales on.
2. stocking quite a few of the alternators.

I'll be staying in Somerville BTW, and know that there is a target nearby. I have already printed off location maps for target, wal-mart, toys r us and KB so am really just wondering which would be my best bet as I'm on a tight schedule. I would be most grateful for any help. Thakns guys.
zuke
Target and Walmart are your best and cheapest bet. Many walmarts have Prime on clearance for $50US but thats if you can find it in stock.
TRU in just had huge sales the last 2 weeks.
Also don't forget K-Mart
You best bet is to try them all. For Alts the prices are all around 20$ at all the stores.
Marx
Hey guys, it's been awhile since i've seen anything new, but i was in luck yesterday! (10-30)

West Springfield
The KBs next to music daddy and in the stop and shop plaza

- 1 cliff jump
- 1 uhhh, the energon helicopter guy

Khols ( in the same plaza)

- 1 sharkticon
- 1 towline
- 5 command jaguars

Well that's it for now, and i've yet to find shockblast
zuke
Kohls in Milford had
3 TFU BiaB Ultra Magnus VS Treadshot
3 TFU BiaB Smokescreen vs Ransack
All TFs were 35% off.

Just an FYI guys, Alt Tracks WILL NOT be in the next case assortment(wave), so he could end up being the rare, hard to find Altenator. The next wave will have more Meisters so there should be plenty of him around. I got my Tracks from walmart.com
Frapp
KB Toy Works in Franklin actually had something new: all 6 pieces to Micromaster Devastator. Picked them up to complete him. There were still quite a few left.

Cool! How much was it $ total? Please give a review.

Well, i dropped my brothers off at a concert in worcester last night, and decided to do a little Transforming hunting

~~Toys R' us across from the auburn mall~~

Well, since i've never been to this toys r' us, it took me a while to find the tformer section, and when I did, it look liked a bomb hit it. So being the good fan I am, I cleaned everything all up. And while during my clean up I found......

~ 10 dread wings
~ 1,000,000 towlines (the next ironhide?)
~ 2 cliff jumpers
~ 1 shockblast, which i purchased
~ 2 energon ironhides
~ 2 sharkticons
~ 5 optimus and megatron 2 packs
~ 1 energon hotshot
~ 3 downshifts
~ 7 megatrons

And then after that, I went to the AUBURN MALL across the street, which in my opinion, was the crappiest mall ever. THere were just a bunch of emo kids and goths walking around, oh, i god i wanted to burn them all alive, alright, now back to the sightings.

~~Aurburn mall KB's~~

~ same old wave one and two crap
~ The entire micron devestator set , which I purchased

Then i went to eat at 99's, after that went over and checked out borders until they closed, then after a long hard night of wanting to kill people, i drove back to worcester, found a spot a few blocks away from the palladium and sat there reading the new toy fare. BUt was also cool i saw/heard street racing every 5 seconds, and i also saw the worlds sketchiest drug deal. The guy buying looked like he had 10 cops chasing him.
