Well, unless you have a hankerin to get some BT's quick, I sugest you just buy online.

The collectible/hobby shop in Japantown is charging $80 for BT's, I think the same with Yes Anime on Geary.

There's also a place right next door to YA on Geary called Cards & Comics Central (5727 Geary) that has just about everything, but you're looking to pay about $10 more (even including shipping) if you get stuff there.

Rent for stores in the city is incredible, and it's relected in the prices for imports.

Have fun here! There's good food and lots of exciting times to be had.

Ya.. I think ill settle with ebay.. that one in japantown wanted twice the price :/ I did see a lady in chinatown on the side street selling a KO little devetator for $7.. lol ....thanks guys!

I shouldnt have been lazy.
I went to Target, and Toys R Us is like right next to it, but I bought Primus from Target w/o the Unicron head.
Few days later went to TRU and they had a bunch of Primus figures w and w/o the head.
Dammit.

Anyone see the 10th anni BW Optimus Primal and Megatron? (new molds) Or the 6inch titanium Prime?

Both of the new BW 10th figs materialized in Target and TRU around a month ago - but I haven't seen them since. The previous waves tend to shelfwarm somewhat so I don't think they get restocked very often.

6" Titanium WWI Prime (and Megs) have also been seen at the above stores in the Bay Area.

Dammit.
Im hoping since the TRU near me is USUALLY late with toys... That they'll get em in sometime soon...

Actually, in a change of pace, I saw the BW and TiTf guys in question at TRU before Target/WalMart. However, they sold out so fast you'd never know now.



Also, I saw Prime and Camshaft at the Target on Capitol and McKee in San Jose after work today. Someone had already snagged the Meister.

These two guys were still there today.

Titf Megatron was still at TRU Sunnyvale, but nothing else interesting there or at Sunnyvale Target.

Mountain View Target had squat, but Mountain View Wal-Mart had 2 Alt Primes and an Alt Mirage. I bought all three. PM'ing robotsongs and Fort Max, so I sure hope you guys still want one.

I picked up a Yellow Scrapmetal (0x left) & Breakdown GTS(they have 2x left) at a San Jose Walmart (Story Rd). Also the Cybertron figures with the CD Rom are out at the Walmart on Blossom Hill & Monterey Highway (82).

Frack still cannot find Mirage. Damn.

Sunnyvale TRU had nothing of note. Sunnyvale Target had 1 Titf Prime (sorry, I bought it) and 2 Titf Megatrons, and nothing else noteworthy.

Found TiTF Jetfire at the TRU on Captiol at McKee.

The Target next door had OP and Mirage.

Talbots in San Mateo has the Classic line.
$22.xx for Prime and Megatron... I got excited and had to get both...
And... Im satisfied...
Awesome figures...

Uhm... Talbots?

Like the yuppie-clothing store? You sure, dude?

Good to know they've reached the bay, but damn if I can't find 'em.

Pleasant Hill TRU has a couple T!Ts - 2 megs and 2 primes.

Hayward TRU has a Jetfire and 2 Thundercrackers.

YOUR BEST BUYS, ARE ALLWAAYZZZZZZZZ AT FRY'S!!!!!

word on the street is that Fry's Electronics in the bay have started to stock CLASSICS as well as the 20TH Prime.




*CONCORD FRY'S over the weekend.

NO Blot! That's totally weird.

How strange that everyone and thier mom is carrying these things right now, except for the normal suspects-- TRU, Target and Walmart.

Gueass I'll have to check next time I'm by them...

Yes dude. Talbots.

Its this small hobby store down in downtown San Mateo.

Pretty sure its been around longer than the clothing store.

citysearch'd!

didn't know about that place... I'll have to check it out next time I'm in SM.

Thanks for the lead!

DAMN! Which Fry's did go to? I was just in Concord yesterday and should have stopped by that one .

Its soo true too I picked up all 6 of the wave 1 classics at the Fry's in Fremont. God they are all so sick. G1 for Life

I picked up a couple at the Fry's on Brokaw in San Jose.

They have an entire endcap dedicated to them.

They're a bit more expensive than they would be at WalMart, etc. (deluxes $13 voyagers $25) - so if you're on a budget...

me calling target colma:Hey there, I have a dpci number I was hoping you could look up.
target employee: Ok. What is it?
Me: (giving numbers)
TE: Sorry, sir... it looks like it's in transition and we can't sell them yet.
ME: Shoot. Ok, any eta on when that's going to happen?
TE: Sorry, sir, not yet. Just try calling back another time.
ME: Ok, thanks!


me calling target daly city:Hey there, I have a dpci number I was hoping you could look up.
TE: Ok, what is it?
ME:(giving numbers)
TE: --NO. *WHAT* is it?
ME: Oh, Transformers classics
TE: Sir, target policy states that we aren't allowed to check stock on collectible items.
ME: That's funny, you're now the third Target I've called in about as many minutes and no one was stopped from doing it.
TE: Sir, we don't check stock on individual collectibles.
ME: I'm not asking for you to check an individual collectible, I just want to know if you're carrying the series yet.
TE: Target policy clearly states that we cannot check location on a collectible item. If I get this number for one collector then I will have every other collector asking me why I let you check and not them.
ME: I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO CHECK STOCK ON ONE ITEM. I'm not asking you if you have any blue shirts, just if you carry shirts AT ALL.
TE: Sorry sir, I'm not allowed to do that... (beep, beep)
ME: I can hear the PDA in your hands.
TE: Yes, sir it is...
ME: I'm just asking to see if you are carrying the series. That's all. Will you please enter the number into the PDA you are holding in your hands?????
TE: Sir, Target policy states that--
*CLICK*

5 HOURS LATER
Target Daly City Employee: Toys.
ME (using a girl voice, just in case they know, and not bringing up DPCI numbers so as to try a different method): Hi, my son is asking for something and I was wondering if you could tell me if you carry it.
TE: Sure, what is it?
ME: Transformers classics... he says it's a new line
TE: Oh, we're all sold out of those.
ME: Really? He was telling me they just came out.
TE: Yeah, wait... (murmers in background) Actually, those were Cyber... Cyb-
ME: Cybertron?
TE: Yeah. Sorry. Yeah, we're almost out of those.
ME: But my son was talking about classics
TE: Oh, we've stopped carrying those. Yeah, we carried those for a while, but I think Hasbro discontinued them so we only have 1 left.
ME: Ok. Thanks for your help.


I hate target. I really really really hate target.

San Mateo TRU has both Classic Prime and Megatron in stock.
Managed to pick up all 4 deluxe Classics...
Went to TRU 2 different times, only had 2 Classics at a time. (Hotrod/Starscream then Bumblebee/Astrotrain.)
Lucky me.
Also they had the Classic Beast Wars in stock. 2 pack.
Seen the repaint of the deluxe Cybertron Optimus Primal at Talbots.
Managed to finally get my hands on the deluxe Primal and Megatron...


YES!

Go me.

Forgot to mention, TRU Sunnyvale had Titf Optimal Optimus and 20th Anniversary Prime earlier today.

KKHHHHAAAANNNNN!!!!!!

Oh well.

Picked up for trench, so not any more.

Sunnyvale Target had a lone Classics Starscream on the shelves.

Today Sunnyvale Target had two Classics Megatrons but no other Classics.

San Pablo/El Cerito Target has two Classic Starscreams, one Titanium Thundercracker, one Classic Hot Rod and two Classic Astrotrains. I got the lone Classic Bumblebee! 1

Went back a day later to get the Starscream!

Fry's Electronics (least the few here in south bay) has tons of just about every classics except for Grimlock and Jetfire. Starscream's findable if you dig about.

They have a Classics Jetfire at the TRU in San Jose on McKee and Capitol.

He's behind the other Voyager sized dudes.

There are some Grimmys on the pegs as well.

Good ruck!

Target Greatland Colma - Good load of Classics. Lots of Mirage, some Grimlock and most of the 1st run figs too.
They also have the Prime VS Megatron 2-Packs.

Anyone seeing the Ravage/Rumble around here? Just came back from both Hegenberger and Davis WM's with nothing. They were all packed to the brim with Classics, though....


San Jose maybe? Bueller?

Ravage and Rumble are in stock at oakland walmart. The lady opened a case for me at 2PM today, so there's 2 of each left. I also saw two more cases on the pallet, so those will be opened tonight and put on the floor. I'm assuming, too, that san leandro will be getting them on the floor tonight.

Razorwire of 2005 stole *all* the new figures (3 cases worth!) at Union City WM, so don't go looking there.

Hope that helps!

Sooooo... did anyone get them or what?

Or is this subforum dead beyond belief?

I'm still reading, if it helps.

two's a party.

Got two ravages and one rumble at the Story Rd (San Jose) Walmart. I must have been the first, they were stacked high on the top shelf. In the diecast car section... I picked the best ones:) There's probably quite a few left (9 maybe)... My collection is now complete:)

Got two ravage cause I needed an extra for the MP Megatron that's on the way.

Are there any places carrying Alt Mirage in the area or any Targets carrying Skywarp and Magnus at clearance price? I'm in the area to visit for up till tomorrow I think and it'd be cool if I could pick those up. Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me a heads up.

I looked at Sunnyvale Target, Mountain View Target, and Mountain View Wal-Mart today, but didn't see any of those. The only unusual thing I saw at any of them was the Target exclusive Legends of Cybertron set.

Sorry, Trench, no BSG stuff either.

San Jose Story Road Walmart: '09 BBs, Dreadwing and Arcee (there were a couple of each of these left)

Also, all the new FABs: '09 BB, Barricade, Megatron, Frenzy and Blackout

No sign of new Voyagers, Robot Replicas, etc.

San Jose sightings:

Target (Hillsdale Ave.) Bunch of Transformer Unleashed Barricades & Primes.

TRU (Blossom Hill Rd.) Had one Payload from the new 09 Bumblebee wave and that was it. I had them check in back and were all out.

TRU (Winchester) nothing; they put new stock out last night and all of it was gone.

I got an Ultimate Bumblebee at the Target in Sunnyvale today, but the shelves were otherwise barren and it was the last one.

Crap, I went there the evening of the 8th, they must have put it out after closing.

TRU (Sunnyvale): lots of Voyager Prime and Megatron - if any deluxes were put out, they were already vaporized

Target Mountain View and Sunnyvale have been barren for the last 4 days as well.

Ain't found crap in the SF Bay area.

Mannnn I went to Foster City's Target & TRU, didn't have crap.

Then Mountain View Walmart, K-mart, Target, NOTHING.

Redwood City TRU had classic Jetfires and Primes, alot. As well as lots of Movie Voyager Prime & Megatrons.

I didn't even bother checking Tanforan/Colma/Serramonte Target.

I'm gonna give up for a bit until I hear that we're getting them, I'm realy tired of looking for like a month now.

my guess is that the SJ Toyshow that is going on next week may contributing to this.

Around noon:
Colma Kohls- 1 concept BB, 1 Arcee, 1 Dreadwing

Serramonte Target- 2 leader Brawl
