Anyone scored a Jetfire down in Florida yet?
Drake

Forget to mention that the wave 2 Playskool guys are now out. I spotted them yesterday. Was low on cash so I didn't pick them up yet.
Kmart of all places had them along with the new Giant TMNT toys.
Prowl-Bot
Fire-bot
Aero-bot 2 (car)
And the blue Cheetor panther remold.
Target had all the new Hulk toys for the movie. Strange that they'de release them 5 months in advance.
Walmart had everything except Red Alert, Starscream, Scavenger and Jetfire.

I haven't even found Blurr yet........:mad: :(
Drake
01-03-2003, 12:58 PM
Blurr & Bendy Prime are showing up in force here so you guys should be getting them down south soon. Strange since you guys usually get the stuff before we do. I found Blurr before Xmas. He was buried in a bunch of other toys and no other TFs were on the shelves, but now Walmart has fully restocked again.

I picked up the new prime at the Walmart in Casselberry on 436 about a week a go. Unfortuntely he was the last one they had, but they seem to be getting more and more shipments of supercons lately as before last week I hadn't seen a single supercon there in a while. Still no Blurr but I'm hoping to find him there this morning.
Omega Supreme V
01-04-2003, 09:58 AM
I found Both Blurr and Optimus Prime
at the Plant City Wal*Mart Supercenter yesterday, and have been playing with them since.They're Great!!

A friend of mine keeps saying the work stopage out in California on the docks is what lead to the shortage of Transformers.

That claim is false. As you noticed during the lockout, many toys (speaking of everything in the toy aisles) was being stocked and new shipments were coming in. The pace has not slowed since then. Several lines, including Transformers, were hard to find simply because they sold. For any line that is even just mediocre, one case of figures won't last too long.

Exactly what I told him. They fly off the shelves. Case in point, Wednesday, Walmart here, fully restocked with Super Primes, Blurrs, the works (no Jetfires :(). Today almost all gone. Walmart makes an effort here, to a point. Target does not. They restock the toy aisles two times a year it seems. Poor management I think.

I found Jetfire @ Target in Brandon, Florida around 1 pm today. There were 3 when i got there and I left two for the next lucky TF hunters. So have at them guys and gals. By the way, the Causeway Wal-mart has wave 3 Supercons. Good luck.

Checked the Walmart in Cassleberry today. No Jetfire but they did however have about 8 or 9 Armada Ruination repaints for $25 apeice.
Robb Wilder
01-12-2003, 05:53 PM
Found Jetfire at the SUper Target in Sunrise Fl and found Urbanation at the Coral Springs Super Walmart. One left of each.

I would've added this sooner, but I was having a problem with site connection earlier today.
Jetfire found at the Target in Delray Beach around 3:15pm on Saturday. There were two left after I picked one up.
Finding Blurr and Super-con OP shouldn't be a problem in South Florida at this point. I first spotted them about 3 weeks ago. They're now in every Wal-Mart I go to and were in the two Targets that I've been to in the last week.
desert-s
01-16-2003, 09:54 AM
Found 4 Ruinations at the Super Wal Mart on 50 near UCF as well as several of the new Playskool bots (which I summarily cleaned out).
A little OT but they also had the Battle Scarred Gundams which I also picked up :)

01-20-2003, 07:28 PM
I know it's not Armada, but it is a Florida sighting. The much aligned, much rumored, often immitated but never duplicated Starscream is availablle for purchase at Once Upon a Toy at the Disney Marketplace in Orlando. Check out the thread I posted in the Toyark for a pic:p !
I wish I had a cool sig :( !

Just picked up Jetfire from the Vero Beach Target. He's pretty sweet.
I'm working on shrinking my sig.

02-03-2003, 10:30 AM
Saw 2 more Jetfires at the Wal-mart in G-ville last night. Also, they just got restocked on Prime (with yellow accents), Smokescreen, Blurr and Sideways. Go get 'em!
Omega Supreme V
03-04-2003, 08:25 PM
Found Galvatron, Sea team, and Repaint M-Con teams AT Target in watters avenue.
Omnus
03-04-2003, 09:05 PM
I haven't been checking much recently, but I did get to a couple of Wal-Marts today.
I've only found Galvatron, the Sea Team, and the Air Assault Team. That was only at the Delray Beach Wal-Mart. The Boynton Beach Wal-Mart Supercenter only had Galvatron, but the entire aisle there looked like people had been in a buying frenzy (a couple of trampled boxes included).
Drake
03-04-2003, 09:08 PM
Got Galvatron and the sea team at the Fort Walton Beach Wmart. Destin and Crestview had nothing. No Thundercrackers spotted either. On another note Jetfire is showing up at Kmarts around here so if you're having a hard time finding him give them a look.

Found Thrust and Sideswipe at the Wal-Mart in Tamarac.(Broward County)
Drake
03-10-2003, 09:53 PM
My Walmart was wiped out yesterday. They everything but Thundercracker, Sideswipe, Thrust and the wave 4 minicons the week before, including a boat load of wave 1 stuff. Yesterday they had a Galvatron and empty shelves and pegs.
blastMONKEY
03-11-2003, 08:17 PM
I've seen and picked up most of wave four save thundercracker in the various wal marts in the clearwater/largo/pinellas park/new port richey area.
Skystalker
03-12-2003, 08:52 PM
Found Galvatron and Dark Saber minicons at the Target in Oviedo. Only one Galvatron left after I bought mine and no Dark Saber minicons after I bought mine. No other wave 4 mincons at all, were snatched up already.
03Mach1
03-12-2003, 10:49 PM
Picked up Thundercracker at the G-ville Wal*Mart yesterday. He's pretty sweet :D
blastMONKEY
03-13-2003, 08:25 PM
finally found a thundercracker at the largo mall target in, well...um largo
Wildridimus Prime
03-15-2003, 04:06 PM
I found Thundercracker at a Walmart last week. That's the newest Armada toy we've gotten. I'm still looking for Thrust and Sideswipe. Hopefully they'll hit here soon.
Omnus
03-17-2003, 04:21 PM
I found a large amount of Thundercrackers at the TRU in Boca Raton on Sunday.
Skystalker
03-21-2003, 10:45 PM
There were about 5-6 Armada Thundercrackers at the Toys R Us in Altamonte Springs after I bought mine this morning.
Menasor80
03-23-2003, 01:18 PM
Found Thurst and Sideswipe at Target next to the Oviedo Marketplace. They looked like they had just restocked their supercons but as Thrust and Sideswipe were in the front of 2 racks, I didn't even bother to look if they had more though I"m sure they did :D I'd have to say this is probably the best place to look for Armada toys when a new wave is released...it's the first place I found Jetfire, Galvatron, Thundercracker, the new minicons and now these 2....best time to go seems to be SUnday mornings. Happy hunting for anyone in the area.:cool:
Drake
03-30-2003, 02:36 PM
Wow the Walmarts here are getting even worse. All they had yesterday was Jetfire. Something Target had 3 months ago! :mad:
03Mach1
04-03-2003, 05:59 PM
Gainesville TRU just got restocked with everything except wave 4 minis. Galvatrons, Thundercrackers and Jetfires, oh my:D!!
Drake
04-04-2003, 08:31 PM
Got Sideswipe at Kmart here in Niceville today. If I'de went yesterday I might have found Thrust. Its actually quite sad when the Kmart here gets stuff before Walmart.
03Mach1
04-04-2003, 11:43 PM
I also saw Sideswipe tonight at Wal*Mart in Gville. His blister was pretty beat up, so I passed. Hopefully they'll be everywhere soon.
03Mach1
04-10-2003, 08:34 PM
2 Sideswipes today at Target in Gville. No Thrusts, however.
kEVINUS prime
04-10-2003, 10:09 PM
I have spotted Sideswipe, Thrust, sea team, military repaints, and...scored an original Air Defense team! At Wal Mart and Target in Coral Springs.
Forgot...Jetfire, Galvatron, Thundercracker at TRU
Drake
04-12-2003, 11:44 PM
Scored the military repaint tonight at Kmart and a Thundercracker to keep MISB. Its quite sad Kmart is putting the smackdown on Walmart here when it comes to Transformers. Still no dark saber or Thrust (Thank God for Amazon.com!) to be had. All Walmart had was about 30 Jetfires. Something Target had back in Jan.
Ironhideforever
04-14-2003, 01:05 AM

Skystalker
04-18-2003, 02:39 PM
This is not exactly an Armada sighting but there are several Dreadwing and Smokejumpers in the Oviedo Target. There is also many Armada Jetfires and Galvatrons as well as 1 each of Thrust and Sideswipe.
Drake
04-20-2003, 01:18 AM
No Dreadwind and Smokejumper here yet. :(
03Mach1
04-21-2003, 10:29 PM
Saw Thrust at Kaybee's in Ocala. Refused to pay $11.99, though. I'm sure they'll be everywhere soon. Ironhideforever, I'll be in Clearwater in May. Thanks for the info :thumb:!!

Still no Dinobots or Destructicons around here. Walmart and KB are still barren of Transformers. :(
03Mach1
05-20-2003, 05:56 PM
I guess they are not REALLY Armada, but the Dinos have hit Gainesville.

05-20-2003, 11:04 PM
The dino 2 packs as well as rhinox and terrorsaur have shown in orlando...
Robb Wilder
05-21-2003, 05:54 PM
THe Destructicons came and went at Toyworks in the Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise... Dinobots are gone at the Sunrise Walmart at Oakland Park and University BUT they had a set or two left of the Rhinox Terrasour Supercons..
Drake
05-25-2003, 01:59 PM
Got Thrust, Rhinox and Terrorsaur last night at the Fort Walton Walmart. I almost had a heart attack they actually had Transformers for the first time in 3 months. Still no Dinobots or Destructicons.

06-14-2003, 12:50 PM
This may or may not be related, but a rep at my local TRU (Times Square) mentioned they were expecting a "huge" Transformers shipment this coming week with lots of "new" items. My guess is PL Prime will be part of that lineup. Should I spot him I'll let everyone know.

Okay.. Went Powerlinx hunting and came up empty handed in South Florida... One Walmart had 3 regular super primes and one other had 8 regular super primes..
Robb Wilder

06-16-2003, 12:15 PM
He's right. I just saw it at that store (I live right near it). All I can say is: look up.
RW, why aren't they getting any new Deluxes there?
Robb Wilder
06-16-2003, 07:06 PM

One of the Wally's in Gainesville just got restocked on everything from original minicon sets to Thundercracker and Galvatron. They're everywhere. The isle is spilling over with Armada. No Powerlinx figs, though :cry.

06-17-2003, 07:06 PM
Down here in Miami I have only seen Jetfire once and it was in Target.I`ve found all the Dinobots except the Grimlock/Swoop set.No Armada wave 4 except the Sea Minicon Team.

I was lurking around Walmart last night waiting for the Harry Potter book while they were putting out the stock. They had POwerlinx Prime and Sawgrass Walmart but were NOT putting them out. wave 2.5 maxcons wave 3 supercons and wave 3 minicons.
Super Superion
06-21-2003, 01:46 PM
CS4 Prowl located at TRU in Daytona Beach. No sign of Red Alert or Skywarp, which is wierd. Must be shipping seprately. Tons of Jazz and Silverstreak also.
Drake
06-21-2003, 10:26 PM
Scored Powerlinx Prime tonight at the FWB Walmart. Only one left and the box was beat to hell. Weird cause they had about 15 regular Super Primes. No new minicons though.

They must've just put those out. I was visiting my parents on Thur. and Fri. and checked the new Super Wal*Mart on US1 and they had nada. Didn't get down to Stuart, though. Guess I shoulda.
Omnus
06-22-2003, 01:03 PM
Picked up the wave 5 minicons at the Wal-Mart in Delray Beach. There were a pair of Powerlinx Primes, both of them were top-shelfed and one of the boxes looked like it had been out in the weather we've been having.
Probably won't be seeing the Powerlinx Primes on the reachable shelves for a while to come. With the regular Super Primes clogging up the shelves, the stores probably won't be too eager to put out the new one. After all, which one would expect a kid to pick, the old one or the shiny gold minicon?
Drake
06-24-2003, 08:40 PM
Still no Dinobots or Destructicons here. I broke down and went to evilbay for the Destructicons. :(
Robb Wilder
06-27-2003, 12:08 PM
Get out to your Walmarts, Fellow Floridians... I just went to my local Wal-mart... <Oakland Park Blvd and University Dr in Sunrise> and found all three of the Transformers Universe. They are opposite the Aramada on the same isle.
Rev_Pee_Kitty
06-27-2003, 11:02 PM
Powerlinx Prime seems to be everywhere around here (Clearwater, FL), but in short supply -- there's about 4-5 regular Primes and 0-1 Powerlinx Primes at all four Wal-Marts around here.
Found Air Military and Emergency Mini-Con Teams at the Coachman Wal-Mart.
Found Rhinox and Terrorsaur at the K-MART (believe it or not) on Gulf-to-Bay and Belcher.
Can't find any Thrusts, dammit... I melted mine in a kitbash-gone-wrong and REALLY need a new one. (Two, actually... gonna try try again.)

Found Skywarp today at the Toysrus in Coral Springs at Atlantic and University. Here is the catch, Go look in the LEGO's. It seems, they did not have ENOUGH room in the Transformers section so they stuck them in the Legos. I was looking to see if Built To Rule was out but they only had the GI Joes....

All three of the Universe assortment was at the Wal*mart in Gainesville tonight. As tempting as they were, I didn't buy 'em. They do, however, look much better in person.
*resists the urge to go back...it is open 24 hrs*

The Santa Rosa Mall KB in Fort Walton has the Destructicons finally. A big thanks to the heads up from Skycracker! Still no Dinobots though or Universe.

In Orlando, I found Universe Snarl, Silverbolt and Reptillon at the Wal-Mart on Hwy 50 near UCF. I don't think there are any more Snarls left but there are plenty of Silverbolts and 1 or 2 Reptillons. Look near the truckload of TMNT figures.

Crestivew Walmart Has 1 each of the Universe guys. No Primal or Tigerhawk yet. Also has Hoist, Wheeljack and Airrazor. I picked them up. I passed on the Universe guys since I didn't have enough cash with me. The Snarl looks nice. I'll probably pick him up later on.
I Got the last Supercon Prime with autobot logo on the hood at the Fort Walton Beach Walmart and they had a Thrust in Unicron Battles packing left but I didn't get him since I've already got two.
Still no Dinobots though. :(

Scored Wheeljack, Hoist and Airrazor at the same wally world as always - They also had Powerlinx Prime(which I already got yesterday at the Alafaya Target). And as a note I actually did grab the Dinobots there a while back as well so they are in florida.

Coral Springs TRU has the new boardgame. Right in the TF section. I DIDNT pick it up. Decided to wait. They had the new Transformerless Gobot Speedbot but someone has taken the FREE videos from them. Coral Springs KMart didnt have squat. I cannot stand Kmarts. Super Walmart in Coral Springs by Sawgrass Expressway .. NOthing new. Walmart at Oakland and University ... Nothing new. I now need Tidal Wave, Two new Minicon teams, Wheeljack, Overlord and Skywarp from this wave.

wheeljack, hoist, and airrazor up in hudson, yeah i drove to like four different walmarts looking to kill time with my friend and low and behold, the super wal-mart on cr54 had a single airrazor. then it hit me, what about the one on us19 in hudson. so we make our way up there and they had plenty of stock of all three beasts and both wheeljack and hoist. no new minicons yet though. apparently the super walmart on tampa road has them in stock now aas well as the universe ultras. i'm gonna check the one southbound on us19 tomorrow, maybe they'll have something to pick up.

Well, found out that Port Orange (South of Daytona) is my new friend. Brand new Super Target just opened last week had one Unicron left on the shelf tonight (got it of course).

Both Wally World and Target are looking decimated in Sarasota...hoping that means they'll be getting new stock (and Unicron) in this week.
Did see the new SD Gundams though...pretty cute, but the production value is low...lots of flash and poor paint jobs. Too bad.

Grabbed Unicron at the Wal Mart on 436 in Cassleberry. THey had one left. He's on the top shelf on the left side of the isle across from most of the TFs if anyone wanted him :D They also have a lot of the Unicron battles max cons as well as the beasts. No new minicons that I saw though.

Fort Walton Walmart has tags for Unicron and a rather empty space that would seem to fit the dimensions of his box. Alas, I didn't make that space empty. They've gotten a massive amount of Transfromers to go with their reorganization of the toy section. Lots of minicons and they've finally gotten with the times and have all of the latest releases except for the Ultra-sized Universe figures.
I still think they're planning a minicon invasion.

Thanks IHF -- I keep missing 'em every time I go there! I don't want Overload (I'm waiting for the Magnus repaint), and Life is teasing me with him. Two days ago, the US 19 TRU had *eight* Overloads. So that means they had gotten in at LEAST eight Skywarps, right?
ALL GONE.
Jeez. I guess I'm not the only one who think it's a kick-ass toy. Anyways, anyone who wants Overloads, journey to the Toys R Us next to Countryside Mall. They've got tons of 'em.
Oh, and the Target on Drew and US 19 is loaded with RP Sabers. And the K-Mart near Countryside Mall is loaded up with Powerlinx Jetfires and a FEW Powerlinx Red Alerts and Overloads.

TRU in Coral Springs has about a dozen Hoist, as most in the area do. No sign of Inferno, yet. Or Tracks (but I have the Takara one).
Added 10/3- Inferno is in at Boca Raton TRU on 441. I got mine, about 6 left!

Dinobots and a whole slew of new supercons and gigacons at the Walmart in Gainesville. It's a shame I don't like the dinos :(.

NP Junior, I frequent The Allspark more often and never saw anything posted (maybe it slid off the first page quickly). I was the one that suggested the mailing list after the 2nd event :)
Oh, and I'd like to thank 01Cobra. I stopped by the Ocala Target today on my way up to my father-in-law's in G'ville and was finally able to lay hands on a Armada Skywarp (one left on shelf still).

Florida's a sucky place to be right now. Same stuff everywhere. When should I start snooping around again?

Heros of Cybertron are at Walgreens. Nothing new that I have seen. Found Megatron/Cyclonus BTR at Wally World. Waiting for that last wave of Supers and Minis..

Is Walgreens even carrying the new HOC? They took months to carry the others, too. I have seen the Dinobots at Coral Springs Walmart, and the repaints of Thrust, Hot Shot, and Cyclonis, plus the flashlight Optimus.

I haven't seen anything past wave 2, and those were few and far between. I'm glad I ordered 3 and 4 from BBTS when they were available.

I was a TRU on University, and they now have Tracks as well as plenty of other G1, including Armada Predacon. Some of the Maxis now have a CD,too.

Hit almost every Target, KB, Wal-mart and TRU in Orlando yesterday. A few Skywarps at the Super Target near Ocoee. I did see the Tankor/Obsidian pack at Once Upon a Toy in the Disney Marketplace. I also picked up Jhiaxus and Megabolt at KB in Ocala. Not a whole lot to show for a long day. No Nemesis Prime or PL Demolisher.

Picked up Nemesis Prime today from the Wal-Mart in Ft. Pierce. They also had a Powerlinx Demolisher, but I passed on it.
Drake

Walmart here has so many Supercons I doubt they'll ever get any Nemesis Primes. :(

Drake, heads up. Someone on EBAY had some Yellow Landfills and they were from NICEVILLE. May want to check it out. All you south Florida people. Other than the rumored Blue Wheeljack and Red thrust my ARMADA collection is complete. I picked up the last 2 needed minicons Recolor Eteam and Sea Team at the toysrus in coral springs. Also found some dinobots at the Walmart on Atlantic and Powerline.
Drake

He has a store and a deal with Hasbro to sell toys. Also anyone in my area that needs a Skywarp FWB Target has some. Finally found myself one to keep sealed.

I was there about a month ago and they had nothing special. They may get the landfill giftset seeing as how they got the reissues and the Dreadwing/Smokejumper sets.

Never made it to Downtown Disney but here is an interesting story. Was in Ocala at the SUper Walmart on 40 near silversprings. I am scanning the toy section... nothing new. I scan the overstock shelves in the garden section. Low and behold .. Landfill. I get an employee to get it down for me and take it to the register. SALE NOT ALLOWED. I talk to a red coat CSM he says sorry cant sell it. I say its on the shelf. I talk to a manager. He walks up with an attitude and says no cant sell it someone must have put it up by mistake. I say well you need to take them off the shelf then so no one gets upset about this besides me. He goes Yeah .. Ill get right on it. Im like okay smart ass. I go back with my in laws and sick my mother in law after em. They havnt taken them off the shelves. We get an employee to take em down. GOto the front register and it says SALE NOT ALLOWED they say sorry come back friday and walk off with it. That ticks my mother in law off and she calls the 800 number for customer service. The SAME manager comes back out and starts with an attitude. My mother in law took care of that but alas Still no Landfill but I did have the pleasure of watching the smart ass manager take each and everyone of the Landfills down. He is going to HOLD one for me all day friday so ill send an inlaw back there to get it. But its amazing they make a mistake but wont sell it. Morons

Saw Tankor/Obisidian at the Sarasota Target. They just got a big restock of Universe and Armada (Hasbro cleaning out the warehouses, I guess).

Tankor & Obsidian have been at the Brandon TRu I work at for about a week. Call ahead and have them hold one for you.

Picked up the Optimus/Jetfire 2 pack at the Niceville Kmart today. They had about 8 or 10 left. They're on the back of the toy aisle. Also got the new Emergency Team repaints. They had the Sea Team repaints too but I passed on those for now.

Picked up the Optimus/Jetfire 2 pack on sale, $44.99, at Kmart. Also grabbed the Yellow Landfill set. No signs of Energon or Alternators but the pegs and shelves around here are strangely empty. Hmmm...
Sunstreaker
12-02-2003, 01:34 PM
All the Sarasota shelves are still packed to bursting w/ PL Armada, Armada Beasts, and Universe figs.
Predacon is still scarce, though - only found one at TRU on Friday.
There's still a full pallete of Yellow Landfill at the local WM.
Drake
12-02-2003, 09:22 PM
Craploads of Landfill still at Wmart here. Looks about like 2 pallets full. Picked up Universe Inferno and Ratchet today while I was there. Landfill can obviously wait. Still no Energon or Nemesis Prime or PL Demolisher. Craploads of all the other stuff though.
