So far, I've only found Powerlinx Prime in various Walmarts. Anyone find anything else?

Schnafe
07-08-2003, 07:55 PM
I also just have PL Optimus Prime. I check the Wal-Mart on La Cholla on a daily basis, and have been checking target recently b/c of the wheeljack sighting in Ca at Target. Nothing has come up. Waiting sure is painful sometimes!!

Sixshot

Cool, lemme know if you find anything. I have only been able to check about twice a week since I live so far out in the Catalina/Oro Valley area.

The new KB clear spychangers on Armada-style cards were at the KB Toy Outlet in Chandler, as of Monday. Anyone spotted Universe figures yet?

Sixshot
07-10-2003, 03:29 PM
No universe figures that I've seen yet. I was at the Walmart on La Cholla and they did have Marvel Legends wave 4. Gambit is beautiful! :)

Walmart in Tucson on Speedway
Deluxe Universe figures first wave
Deluxe Armada Wheeljack Wave. Hoist, Rhinox, Terrorsaur, Sideswipe Airrazor.
A buttload of cases came in. Unfortunately the pegs are full of old figures. I asked to open one.
The Deluxe Universe Figures were stocked on the pegs. Snarl, Silverbolt, Reptilion

GRRRRRRRR! Time to go shopping tomorrow! When was this, today?

TFMyriad
07-12-2003, 09:36 AM
yep!

Schnafe
07-12-2003, 08:14 PM
Wal-Mart on La Cholla has a bunch of the Deluxe Armada. Plenty of Airazor, Wheeljack, and Hoist. There were none of the new minicons, and no Universe. I picked up one of each, and there were still plenty left. None were on the pegs, all of them were on the top shelf. They also had the new deluxe Optimus Prime, with autobot sticker on the hood. I am surprised that we don't have the triple changer minicons. Those are usually the first to appear from a new wave. Oh well, the search goes on!

Sixshot
07-13-2003, 02:14 AM
Woot! Thanks for the sighting. Wheeljack and Hoist are now my prisoners. Keep me informed on any minicon sightings. :)

07-14-2003, 01:55 PM
Wal-Mart Supercenter on Stapley Dr. (Mesa) has the following:

Rhinox
Airrazor
Sideswipe
Tidal Wave
Supercon Prime w/insignia
Jetfire

They also had Scavenger, original and Powerlinx Primes, Galvatron, and a LOT of Smokescreens, but I don't think those are hard to find at the moment.

Still no Universe... :(

Schnafe
07-19-2003, 05:55 PM
They finally have the latest mini-cons at the La Cholla Wal-Mart. There wasn't very many left after I purchased mine. Good Luck! I feel they are the best mini-cons that we have had in a long time

Sixshot
07-19-2003, 06:47 PM
How many were left? Earliest I can go is tonight after work.

Sixshot
07-22-2003, 03:21 AM
Universe is at TRU on Oracle. The only one that I think looks good is Primal. Keep me posted on minicons and Tidal Wave.

TFMyriad
07-23-2003, 10:32 PM
Tidal Wave at Walmart on Speedway and Kolb

Sixshot
07-24-2003, 04:56 PM
Thanks for the sighting. Tidal Wave is now on my desk. Let's all look for Unicron, Overload, and Skywarp.

Hikaru IchijoSL
07-25-2003, 12:10 PM
Overload and Skywarp found at the I-17 and 101 interchange target in North Phoenix. 1 left of each after I bought 1 of each they look really cool

Unicron Target on Broadway. None left......

TFMyriad
07-31-2003, 09:53 PM
Overload and Skywarp at Walmart on Speedway. All the boxes were crushed in some manner. I did not grab any because of this. They also had some Thundercrackers on the top shelf. Yippie I finially got my Thundercracker .....

Schnafe
08-01-2003, 08:58 PM
Walmart on Cortaro has Overload and Skywarp. I took one of each. After I took mine there was one Skywarp left. Still looking for Tidal Wave.

Sixshot
08-02-2003, 10:58 AM
On Cortaro or do you mean La Cholla? Were there any Overloads left?

Schnafe
08-02-2003, 11:56 AM
Nope I haven't seen any at La Cholla. These were at the Walmart by Cortaro and I-10, sadly there weren't any Overloads left, just a lone Skywarp.

Schnafe
08-02-2003, 08:12 PM
Tidal Wave finally found on this side of town. Walmart on La Cholla has a bunch of them. Do all the Tidal Waves included the Transformers Universe CD? These did. I am not sure if these are the same ones that are with the Universe figures. I haven't played it yet, but it says it contains one transformers Armada episode "Awakening"

Sixshot
08-02-2003, 11:39 PM
Hey Schnafe, did they have any overloads, skywarps, or unicrons there?

Schnafe
08-03-2003, 12:01 AM
I only saw 2 Tidal Waves. They were really out of the way. They were at the end of the isle, very top. I almost didn't see them. I kinda just grabbed one and left. I am assuming that because he is a Gigacon, he probably didn't come packaged with Overload or Skywarp. I did check pretty much everywhere today. All 3 Walmarts on this side of town, the 3 Targets, and Toys R US. Not much out there. Still am desperately seeking Unicron.

Sixshot
08-04-2003, 02:01 AM
Uni at Walmart on Cortaro.

Schnafe
08-04-2003, 07:42 PM
Called Walmart this morning before I went to work. They said they had one Unicron left, they put it behind customer service for me. I picked him up after work. What a magnificent toy! Haven't finished undoing the twist ties yet, but I will get there!!

TFMyriad
08-04-2003, 09:08 PM
WalMart Speedway has Jetfire with episode disc. Picked up Emergency Team and Air Military Team. They also had other various minicons that were in the Unicron Battles packaging. Saw Wheeljack in Unicron Battles packaging to.

Aberration
08-17-2003, 10:41 AM
Wal*Mart Supercenter at Stapley/Baseline had a couple of Skywarps on the high shelves, but nothing else new otherwise.

Has anyone in the Mesa/Chandler/Tempe area seen TFU deluxes with CDs? :(

Schnafe
08-17-2003, 06:48 PM
A lone Unicron is at the La Cholla Walmart, I saw it there earlier this morning, who knows if it is still there.

Aberration
09-25-2003, 01:22 PM
Wal*Mart Supercenter on Stapley/Baseline (Mesa) had a couple Road Wrecker Mini-Cons, Powerlinx Jetfire (but it's on the high shelves, you may need to ask for help), and a few Tidal Waves (also up high).

No sign of Powerlinx supercons, just a LOT of Smokescreens, Cyclonuses, and Sideways...

Walmart on La Cholla has I think all of the Energon first wave. The basics are not in the toy section, but out in the middle of an isle. They also have the landfill giftsets. To anyone in Tucson, has anyone seen the Emergency Team repaints? I would really like them to finish off my Armada collection.

Syncorizon
12-06-2003, 08:32 PM

Tucson, did I have a conversation with any of you about the MPC Prime on Black Friday at Target on Broadway? I was working and was joking with another employee about her buying me some TF's and you asked if I collected them..... Then we talked about smokestacks........
Feel free to say hi if you are ever there. I am in charge of the snack area. Just ask for Eric in snacks. I have worked there 12 years. The folks working should know who I am unless they are new.

TRU on Broadway has Energon Tidal Wave and Scorponok. Also, they had Energon Unicron...BUT...it IS NOT the black repaint! It is simply the Armada Unicron in an Energon box (even though on the box it DOES show the repaint). Weird...

SMR

Schnafe
01-18-2004, 12:43 PM
Might be old news, but the KB Toys at the Tucson mall has the G1 spychangers. I usually don't go in there very much due to the high prices, so they may have had these for awhile.

Anyone in Tucson seen the Energon Ultra Magnus yet?

because of the report on the allspark of a sighting in mesa, i freaked out earlier and went searching for energon megatron... i didn't find him (figures) but i did come across some stuff people are looking for:

walmart in scottsdale on pima/101 near flw has energon wave 2 basics, plus both alternators.

walmart in scottsdale on pima/chaparral has energon wave 2 basics, deluxes (prowl, rodimus, snowcat) and both alternators.

walmart in mesa on stapley/us 60 has an abundance of wave 2 deluxes, basics, alternators, AND a bunch of landmines, like 8 or more.

walmart in mesa on main/alma school has plenty of wave 2 deluxes, and lots of alternators, which are in the car aisle way up high.

hope this helps y'all out!

Sixshot, they had Landmine at the Wal-Mart on Speedway and Kolb...I say had because I snagged the last one. Still, he's been there once, no doubt he'll be there again...so you may want to check there in the days/weeks ahead...

Sixshot, they've got one last Landmine at the Walmart on 1st ave and Wetmore (next to Best Buy and Office Max). I stuck him behind a couple of scorpinoks for you. Wish I could tell you they have Megatron...but again, I was able to snatch up the last one. But take heart, he IS in Tucson!

SMR

Aberration
02-26-2004, 01:23 PM
Walmart in Mesa (Baseline/Stapley) had a few new Ruinations, but they were on the high shelf.

No sign of the Universe 2-packs, or a lot of the other exclusives that have been reported yet.

Schnafe
02-26-2004, 07:22 PM
I checked the Wal-mart on Wetmore, didn't see any Landmines, but I saw at least 6 Energon Megatrons. They were on the opposite side of the isle, on the top shelf. They also had a some Ruination box sets.

Schnafe
02-27-2004, 08:42 PM
The Wal-mart on La Cholla has Energon Unicron, the black version, in Energon box. They also have a good amount of Energon Megatron. Didn't see any Landmines.

Syncorizon
02-28-2004, 11:08 PM
Schnafe, at either wal-mart (wetmore or la cholla), did you happen to see if they had the Prime with the numbers embossed on the back (ie the full faceplate version)? I forgot to check at the wetmore one when I was there (as I was just so jazzed about finally getting megs!).

SMR

Schnafe
02-29-2004, 12:16 AM
I did check at both Wal-Marts. I didn't see the correct Prime at either one of them. I also had a chance to check the Target at Oracle & Roger, and the Target at Oracle and First, no luck there either. Target at Oracle and First does have a lot of 20th Anniversary Primes.

a bit of a scoop today. Wave 2 finally hits Tempe, was at the Toys R Us on Ray rd. Picked up E-Prowl and E-Rodimus. Only one or two Rodimus' left, quite a few Prowl's to go. Above the main display though where theres the Transformers label, open that up, they had one Snow Cat left, and a whole bunch of Universe Skywarps hidden away if anyone's looking.
Still no Landmine, a crap load of Unicrons and E-Scorponok's still 'doh

anyone know where I can still find Landmine?

And there's STILL a Landmine at the Walmart at 1st and wetmore (checked today). He's not back with the main batch of TFs...he's up front sharing space with Power Rangers and...something else (I can't remember).

Hope this helps!

Wal*Mart in Mesa (Baseline/Stapley) is evidently moving towards the Energon promotion, although they're not completely there. They have a second section of shelves dedicated to TFs, but there weren't any signs, and half of the pegs were empty.

They have Universe Sunstorm, Universe Side Burn & Prowl, the Energon Mini-Con 6-packs, a handful of Landmines, MEGATRON, and the exclusive comic book. The comic is an aisle away from the TF aisle though, hung on a rack next to some Spider-Man vehicles. Still no Universe Spychangers, but there were empty pegs set aside for them.

Wal-mart on La Cholla has the dedicated Energon section up. They still have Energon in the normal area, but they have the large section an isle over on the end. It was fully stocked, The Energon mini-con 6 packs, a few Landmines, bunch of Megatrons. All of the next wave of Universe. Unfortunately the Optimus Prime's still don't have the code stamped on the bottom, so I am assuming that they are the non faceplate ones. I was hoping to see Ultra Magnus, but I guess that was just wishful thinking.

I think the same sales for the reissues hold up here, but I haven't been interested in them, so I can't be sure.

And a quick reminder, Energon purchases of $15 and up'll net you a free Energon basic figure, and any Unicron you can get your hands on is only $29.99. (They didn't have any of the black Unicrons though :()

Arcee is too small to me, especially after the excellent size, detail, make of Insecticon. Arcee to me really seems like she should have been a deluxe, she feels os fragile almost like a knockoff. E-Megs is way too big to me. Not enough detail on the mold to fill up the size, Scorponok size, that would have been nicer

Spotted Alternators Hound!!! In Phoenix, the Wal-Mart at Tatum and Bell. I got the only one they had though. Didn't see any Silverstreaks.

I don't plan on getting anymore Alts until Tracks comes out. I just wish he had a flight mode like the original. That's the only reason why I ever bought him when I was a kid.

Oh, I didn't notice that this was a new thing until I saw it posted in the News section. The reissue of Skids is out now at TRU. I saw them at the TRU at Metrocenter this afternoon. $24.95

frantically, i skipped eating and took my lunch hour at the wal-mart in north scottsdale near FLW & the 101 to see if maybe they also got hound/silverstreak... the only thing they had new was one arcee and one insecticon.

I think you've just discovered the ultimate diet to replace Atkins. Skip lunch and go searching for transformers! You'll definitely feel lighter once they hit your wallet.

The Toys R Us on Oracle has plenty of G1 Skids in stock. Didn't see anything else from Commemorative Series VIII.

Yeah I saw that too.

No new Alts at Toys R Us Oracle or Wal-Mart on Wetmore in Tucson.

The Wal-Mart on Cortaro has 1 Mirage left. I purchased the other one. Nothing else new there or the Wal-Mart on La Cholla. I had been hearing people sighting transformers at Kohls so I check the one next to Wal-Mart. What a joke, I don't think what they have counts as a toy section. No transformers there.

Found two Silverstreaks at wal-mart on Tatum and Bell. Baught them both. They were very well hiddin up high on the top shelf behind other toys. That place was a mess. very disorginized. Probably why I found them.

There's an Alt Silverstreak at the Target at Desert Ridge (101 just east of 51) They also have about 3 Arcees and an Insecticon, for folks who haven't found them yet.

Spotted two Omega Supream's at the Wal Mart on Tatum and Bell. One on the top shelf across from the TMNT stuff and the other behind a Unicron on the bottom shelf under the rest of the TF stuff. Both of them are still there.

Cool. So Target is finally getting them. Hopefully Tucson starts to get more of these.

I know in a few months the shelves will be plowed with SilverStreak and Hound and we will all be cursing looking for Meister,Tracks and Grimlock.

Or, you could just save yourself the privilage of a $10 to $20 markup and either wait for it, as it now seems to be getting some distribution, or buying it from walmart.com This was posted in the news and rumors section: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?cat=4172&dept=4171&product_id=2508392&path=0%3A4171%3A4172%3A78565 I checked the link, and it doesn't say that they're out of stock. They also have Hound.

Wal*Mart Supercenter in Mesa (Baseline/Stapley) had 1 Arcee, a couple Omega Supremes, 2 Optimus Prime Roleplay Blasters, and 1 Megatron Roleplay Sword (on the top shelf)

Snow Cat and Ironhide are the current peg/shelfwarmers.

Also saw a handful of Armada Unicrons (in Armada packaging, not Energon) up top that weren't there before, what the heck?

Target in Oro Valley has 2 of the Omnicon repaints. They still have a few of both Energon Strongarm and OffShoot. Didn't see any other sightings of this. Could this be newsworthy?

No new Alternators or Shockblast :( but they did have a bunch of Omega Supremes.

Sorry fellow TF hunters, but I do have an update.

Just got back from the TRU on Camelback at 7th st. They're having a sale of up to 30% off on all tformers. Make sure you scan your item before you take it to the counter, though, because of that "up to..." part. All of the Energon toys seem to be only 25% off. They had 1 Arcee and 1 Insecticon. That was the newest ones they had.

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)
