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...
Marx
Aug 13 2004, 05:53 PM
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.

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.

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.
zuke
Sep 7 2004, 08:56 PM
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.
HEADMASTER
Sep 8 2004, 01:56 PM
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.
Marx
Sep 9 2004, 03:06 PM
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.

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.
Frapp
Sep 12 2004, 04:09 AM
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.

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.

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..

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

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.

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!
