Was at that KB today, too! The Kmart at the gallery also had some maxcons and gigacons including Jetfire!
I ran to the atm machine to get some cash, but the two Jetfires were gone when I got back! :cry :cry :cry
So I ended up getting an Armada Starscream since I still needed him. Two Megs, 1 Red Alert and 2 Scavengers remain.
The hunt continues...

Rodimus reporting in:I just made a trip to the TRU in Frederick to pick up my Series 2 Starscream. They had a good bit of TFs. The most notable was Armada Thundercracker-1 left. They had 3 Starscreams remaining and 3 PW Apex armor Primes wich I intend to pick up sometime. They also had a good number of both size Primes, Sideways, Red Alert max con, Smokescreen, skyboom shield minicons, and Reqium blaster minicons.

Just picked up my Prowl in Frederick, MD last night. They had 2 left after I got mine. But still no Red Alert or Skywarp in the area. Today, I called Towson and they had no sight nor sound of when they'll be there.
P.S. Frederick is Loaded with series 3. Seams they keep ordering massive quanities because everytime I see them down to a couple, the next time I go in, they're flooded with them.
As for Armada, still the same old same old and nothing new.

Found Overload and Skywarp ath the Target in Belair. Two of each left. Check every Target in the area no sign of Unicron.
I was just at the Toys R Us in Annapolis and they have several Tidal Waves and tons of Transformers Universe stuff. No Skywarp, Overload or the new Mini-Cons.
Rodimus
07-30-2003, 01:30 PM
The the new Star saber/dark saber role play swords are at Toys R Us in Frederick, along with the new minicons and commemorative series 4 in full swing. They continue to restock on their reissues. Even series 3.
And for the Wal Mart there on 85, the've got the dark saber minicons and the rest of that wave.
In Prince Frederick, MD (sorry, I know it's in the middle of nowhere), I found about 6 Skywarps and 2 Overloads. They also had Galvatron and Jetfire with the TF Universe CD included. They also had the Dark Sabre Mini-Con team in Unicron packaging. They also had two Tidal Waves and a couple of PL Primes.
recap:
Prince Frederick, MD - Skywarp, Overload & Tidal Wave

I found unicron during the week and found wheeljack couple weeks ago. Posted that on the allspark.
I bought Wheeljack at the K-Mart in Edgewater last weekend, but he was all alone. There were no other new toys.
At Toys R Us in Annapolis, they have 2 Tidal Waves, 2 Overloads, several Skywarps, the role play swords and a lot of the Universe stuff. No Unicron, no Wheeljack and no Hoist.

Found Unicron at Greenbelt Target, but obviously snatched him up. He seems to be trickling in right now at that store.
Supercon Primes with the Autobot symbol on the hood are at the Laurel Target
Roleplay swords and all Universe wave 1's are in full saturation at the Laurel, Rockville, and Takoma Park TRU's.
Oddly enough they're still selling RID Scourges at Laurel TRU.

Checking in after bringing in a haul of Transformers ;) :
Frederick, MD is the place for all your Transformer needs.
At the Fredierick Toys R Us, they are loaded. They had a whole giant sized end cap filled with Unicrons and Tidal Waves'. Plus they were loaded with the last 3 series in reisues, and they have TF Universe Razorclaw, Slag, Reptilion, Silverbolt. I think they had at least one more Universe figure. They also have they old Armada stuff as well as the newest minicons, and the role play swords.
At the new Wal-Mart on junction rt.15 & 26, they have just about all of the Unicron Battles stuff. They had Hoist, Wheeljack(I bought the last one), Rhinox, Terrosaur(or is it Terrorscream?), Air Razor??, The new wave of Mini-cons, Skywarp, Overload, and a few more of the Newest Armada figures who's names I forgot. There were too many too remember.
Just ask me if they Had it, and I should recognize the name. Most likely they had it because they were well stocked at both stores.
FINALY! UNICRON IS MINE! After 17 years of waiting, Unicron is present. Unicron, I have summoned you here for a purpose! :D
King Starscream
08-17-2003, 05:49 PM
RID Spychanger Tiny Tins have hit the Laurel TRU
There are also two Unicron figures at the same store.

Can't remember which Target, but I saw Dinobot Striker (the only one and I bought him up) and Blackarachnia
Sam's Club in Annapolis has Universe Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus.
By the way, Magnus looks great, but Prime is lame lame lame! Why is his chest still red?

All of Wave 1 is there!!!

12-09-2003, 10:18 PM
Wal Mart seems to be the store for Energon! I found 2 Energon Primes, 4 Treadbolts, and 6 Ironhides at the new Walmart on 194 junction 26 in Frederick/Walkersville.
I must say, I do love the packaging style! Taking Transformers back to boxes, (squared and rectangled at that) and cool paint scheme not only gives it a modern look but also a nostalgic retro feel to it as well. It's a perfect combination! Kudos to Hasbro!
Not even a hint at Toys R Us yet for Energon though...
Rodimus
12-10-2003, 11:00 PM
Correction. Today, Toys R Us in Frederick got it's very first Energon Stock. There are a few Primes, (they are going to go fast, kids were as excited as could be at them) Skyblast, Energon Saber, Battle Ravage, and another of that small class (can't remember name but it was an ugly color).

Well my friend, if you're in Baltimore, I highly recommend you stop by the Towson Toys R Us. They are usualy the first to get the newest stuff in the Greater Baltimore area.
Here's a link to where it is on the map.

Just returned empty-handed from a Alt. Sideswipe hunt, but I thought I would report what I did find:
Germantown Target:
*Fatty prime, Scorponok
*Most regular energon
*NO Alternator Smokescreen
*No Eng Starscream
*they CLAIM to have had Sideswipe and sold out. I made them search back room.
Germantown Walmart:
*Fatty prime
*Most Regular energon
*No Alternator Smokescreen
*No Eng Starscream
Gaithersburg TRU:
*Fatty prime, Scorponok, JETFIRE, Tidal wave , scavenger eng repaint
*Almost all released energon... INCLUDING STARSCREAM
*Buckets of G1 rereleases
*ONLY place I have seen armada still in large quanity... Cans till get superpants prime if wanted.
*NO alternators
I370 Target:
*Don't bother cuz the TF area is looted and dirty...
*they DID have 1 Alt Smokescreen.
So if you are looking for a energon figure, Gaithersburg TRU is your best bet. If your looking for Sideswipe... Call/show up/annoy Germantown target every day as I am.
Found 1 Altenator Sideswipe and 1 Smokescreen at the Bel Air Target on Route 24. I grabbed the only Sideswipe last night. They also had Scorpy and almost all the Energon line.

You talking about the laurel target? I went their tonight and moved the stadiums out of the there also. Also, I think king starscream didnt spot the universe spychanger two-packs, energon wave 2 basics and 20th anniversery primes. :-D I would have got one, but I'm on the lookout for the grey gun version.

Prince Frederick Wal-Mart (southern Maryland, in boring old Calvert County) currently has two Omega Supremes and an Alternator Silverstreak in stock. They had another, and Hound, but suffice to say they have been claimed. :D The store also has a lone Mirage, Tidal Wave, U-Skydive, and should be restocking the deluxe Energon very soon. Also, if a black Unicron is what you seek, at least two are available there (full price only).
Oh, and the Omega Supremes are not with the other Transformers, they're in a mixed aisle across from the bikes.

I haven't seen anything new, but some interesting oldies... at the Annapolis Mall's KB, they had the somewhat rare Sea and Emergency Team repaints! I would have bought them, but Bandai's Godzilla Pack of Destruction was in stock, and I have my priorities. :D Aside from the various Mini-Con teams, most of which were the usual boring repaints, nothing of interest. Two each of the G1 Spychangers (just Jazz and Prowl) and only two parts of Defensor, one or two Unicrons that I think were still on sale, and that was about it. Nothing else of interest, at least TF-wise.

i don't know if anybone here is a halo 2 fan but i figured i'd list this anyway.
i'm pretty sure there is going to be a van or car passing out halo 2 demos on
tuesday the 24th all over the country!!!
i have everything listed below how to find out where.....
I heard about the fake site that is listed on the bottom of the halo 2 trailer in theaters and..................
if you didn't hear about it, after the trailer, when the xbox logo comes up... on the bottom of the screen, under the logo it says www.xbox.com... but then it switches to ... www.ilovebees.com .... then back to ... www.xbox.com
the site is supposed to be hacked, and there is a timer counting down to tuesday august 24th also there is writing that says........
HALT - MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX. STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION. COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL :
if you switch the letters around it says
INDEX THIS IRONCLAD PREDICTION : HALO TWO SINGLE PLAYER DEMO CD-ROM DISK INCURSION AT AUGUST TWENTY FOUR. EARTH WILL NEVER BE THE SAME."
i heard about all of this, so i decided to have a go at this site.
after about 1/2 hour of searching for clues i ended up on this page...
www.ilovebees.com/links.html
which has alot of GPS (global positioning system) coordinates on it.
check for one near you.
here is a site to get a location by using the GPS numbers...also MAKE SURE to put the - symbol in front of the second set of numbers.
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/latlong.adp
i knew that my area (milwaukee) was about 043 -088 ... so i looked for one around there. Sure enough i found one.
also directly underneath each coordinate there is a time.
the time for mine happens to be 15:35 PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)
to check the time difference go to www.ebay.com
their time is in PDT
so whatever is going to happen is going to start when the timer runs out
and at each location at that specific time....
I went to other forums on the subject... to see if i could find out anything else, but most of them are messing with the game.
but i did find out that there were originally different coordinates. so i looked up the original milwaukee coordinates... and it was 61st and north.
now i looked at a few GPS sites. and both of the milwaukee locations are in the middle of the street. So I'm guessing that there will be a van or something giving out something. Hopefully a playable demo
alot of people are thinking waaay tooo hard about this, but I figure if they are doing something they won't make it too teribly difficult to figure out, because then nobody would show up.
I think it's a safe bet something will happen at these locations at those times. so I'm leaving work at noon on tuesday, hopefully I'll see a bunch of people there also.
ok so i have a time and a place. I don't think there is anything else to figure, unless you want to play the ARG (alternate reality game)

TRU Langley Park- no op/megs packs
WalMart Laurel- 4 Omega S's in PL packaging, one alt silverstreak
Target Greenbelt (Beltway Plaza)- nada
By my very unscientific observation, with respect to the Targets and WalMarts, the Md/DC area seems to be about 3 weeks behind the initial sighting of a new toy...therefore, should see the basics in the new packaging this upcoming week and the deluxes the week after.
Got my shockblast and cliffjumper at a K-Mart on the outer banks of NC back around 7/26, but have not seen or heard about them around here...who the heck knows if we will ever see bulkhead.

Er...hi! I'm new to the boards, but live in the Metro DC area and collect Transformers. Anyways, on Monday/Labour Day, I found several new Transformers in the Clinton MD Walmart and K-Mart (the one off of Route 5, I believe). At the KMart, I found the new basics: left Shockblast and Mirage, but took Cliffjumper. At the Walmart, I found all the new powerlinx battles figures: I took Slugslinger and Sharkticon, and left everything else. I am currently hunting for Nemesis Prime.

Wow, two new posters' first posts one right after the other. Don't see that too often.
Anyways, I got back from Waldorf and La Plata today. I found nothing at the TRU, and Waldorf Walmart. However, Target had old figures in the Powerlinx Battles packaging. As did La Plata Walmart.

On the shelf, as I left around 3pm:
Bowie (Rts. 301 & 50) Target- a couple of the old deluxes in PLB packaging...just wondering- how are the existing 6 or 7 demolishers in the now old packaging, going to sell if there are ones in new packaging...oh, I forgot, it doesn't matter, because no one is buying the demolishers anyways...and while I am ranting: great, not only do the new items barely trickle in (and I am more convinced that we are approx. 3 weeks behind the initial sightings of a new toy), but the case assortments for the deluxes are not consistent (I count at least 3 diff. assortments) and the toys that are the rarest are towline (thank you Kohls), downshift (thank you Kohls), sharkticon and last and clearly least, slugslinger....just frustrated with the hunt...thats my take and I hope I didn't suck...
Bowie WalMart- 1 alt hound, 2 alt silverstreak, one complete box (12) of PLB basics

My search in this wave(s) is now down to sluggo and op/megs tru 2-pack

Last I checked - this was nearly two weeks ago, mind you - the Prince Frederick Wal-Mart had a new figure explosion. The overstocked crap was still on the riser, but the new stuff was moved to a different section. Universe Ultras aplently (but no Soundwave/Space Case at the time), lots of PLX deluxes, and it saddened me that I could not purchase the Sharkticon they had in stock. Probably a lot different by now; I'll make sure to report in a more timely manner next time.
Good thing I ordered my Shockblast, Gort, or I'd be pissed about that K-Mart snag. :tounge:

At the Gaithersburg TRU, I found the following today 9/23/04 at 10am.
Doom-Lock, Command Ravage, Optimus/Megatron 2pack, Slugslinger, Sharkticon, and the rest of the deluxe wave 5'ers. 2 or 3 Slugslingers, 3 or 4 Sharkticons, and plenty of the others. Only 1 Command Ravage left, but there could be more product overhead as there were many piled up in the compartment.
Hope this helps!
I stopped by the Prince Frederick Wal-Mart and K-Mart today and there was NOTHING. Actually, they both had Hound and Silverstreak. I can't believe I missed all the new stuff that Wal-Mart had two weeks ago. :(

Took the spin up to the Gaithersburg TRU and sluggo is mine...plenty of sharkys, but if there are any other sluggos they are in the overstock compartment above...too excited to dig into it...Thanks tons Daniel for the timely post.
Had stopped at the Bowie Walmart and Landover Target and they have doodly-squat...
This has undoubtedly been the biggest pain in the arse wave(lettes)...lets hope the holiday season (which if you have been to a WalMart lately is already here....I'm Dreamin' of a White....) brings plentiful offerings and accessible new toys!!!

Did not stop by today, but on Tuesday afternoon the Target did have Downshift, Towline and E-Hotshot (check back a couple of posts just to make sure...they DID NOT have sharky or sluggo).
I went to Bowie this evening and they are cleaned out. Target had Whirl and Magna Stampede and lil' Tankor (or whatever those guys are called), but all the new Energon is gone.
KB and Wal-Mart had nothing new.

Go south out of DC on 395 (toward springfield), about 1.5 miles past the Pentagon, exit at King Street- stay to the right- stay on King about 2 miles (massive traffic on weekends) and the TRU is on the left...if you hit Columbia Pike- you've gone too far.

One Hound and one Dead End are left, as well as a slew of Nemesis Primes, Sluggo, all the other newly released Energon figs. The finally got rid of the other Sideswipes and Smokescreens.
