On my weekly Wednesday Transformers Hunt, I found Armada Hoist at the Target Greatlands at the Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers, MA hidden behind a wall of Demolishors and Smokescreens. Here's a pic:

There were also one each of the Armada Beasts, but no sign of any of the other newest wave figures or Universe figures.

The Wal*mart on Route 114 in Danvers and the Route 107 Wal*Mart in Salem, MA had the Armada Beasts, the Universe Figures, and Final Battle Optimus Prime.

The Toys 'R Us in Peabody, MA had a bunch of the Re-issues, and a few Universe figures, but no new Armada figures.

Ok which stores are closest to the lennox hotel in boston

Peeman

thanks for your help in my other thread as well

Sorry, Peeman, but the stores I haunt are at least a half-hour drive from Boston. Best thing to do is look at the store locator links from the other thread, then use a driving directions site like Yahoo! Maps. Just enter the address for the Lennox as the starting address and any one of the store addresses as the ending point and go from there.

I got Tidal Wave a couple weeks ago at TRU in Aburn, I was lucky too, only a couple left and haven't seen any since. And I've seen a couple of the beasts, universe and reissues there too a couple days ago.

Lance Halberd
07-30-2003, 03:31 PM
Unicron, Roleplay Swords, and BTR Jetfire, Demolishor and Optimus Prime at the new Target on Highland Ave. in Salem, MA.

The KB Toyworks a few doors down from the new Target have a small cache of Destructicons and a Supreme Cheetor collecting dust on the shelves.

The TRU at the North Shore Mall moved their Transformer section to a more prominent location in the action figures section, but nothing new or exciting on the shelves.

"SR"
07-31-2003, 12:33 AM
By the by, Oxford Walmart had all the new minicons as well.

Commeritave Series 5 Tracks and Inferno sighted at Peabody TRU. They also had Predacon and PL Red Alert.

Lance Halberd
12-01-2003, 02:14 PM
K-Mart in Saugus has Nemesis Prime and the Jetfire/Bling Bling Prime two-pack.

Wal*Mart in Danvers has all the Mini-con repaints and one Landfill giftset.

Target in Salem has all the mini-con repaints and Tankor & Obsidian

Wal*Mart in Salem has about 30 Landfill giftsets.

Also of note is that the Targets and Wal*Marts have very few (if any) Supercons left on the pegs, whereas all the other toy lines are fully stocked. My guess is that Energon is gonna be showing up this week or next ::crosses fingers::

Optimus
12-02-2003, 09:46 AM
TRU in Peabody has Commerative series 5 Tracks and Inferno but no Hoist.

And I saw PL Cyclonus at TRU and PL Demolisher at one of the Wal*Marts.

Lance Halberd
12-10-2003, 03:23 PM
Energon Prime, Ironhide and Treadbolt in both the Danvers and Salem Walmarts.

Energon Prime in the Peabody Toys R Us, as well as Universe Tankor & Obsidian.

Same old same old in the Saugus K-Mart.

Ditto for the Saugus, Danvers, and Salem Targets.

Optimus
12-10-2003, 05:53 PM
Energon is here already? Usually we get things a month after their first sighted. ;)

Lance Halberd
12-14-2003, 12:35 PM
The Salem Wal*Mart has an island display of Energon Inferno, Hotshot, Rapid Run, Battle Ravage, Skyblast, Strongarm, and Energon Saber. Optimus Prime, Ironhide, and Treadbolt are still up in the storage space above the aisle.

The Salem Target has Universe Depthcharge.

Run out and get them before the Nor'Easter hits this afternoon!

UPDATED 12/20/2003

TRU, Woburn now has a whole mess of Scorponoks.


I also posted this on MassTFans, here is the rundown for Energon

TRU:

Alewife - 3 Primes left, after I bought 1 and exchanged it for one that could stand. 1 Battle Ravage left after I bought the other. 4 Energon Unicrons. 3 Armada Nemesis Primes, and a few bonus deluxes with an extra minicon

Medford - Lots of Primes on the top shelf, so you'll need to ask for assistance. Abundance of Ironhides and Treadbolts as well

Wal-Mart

North Reading - 2 Yellow Landfills $15.00. 1 Prime.

Danverse - Lots of Yellow Landfils $15.00, they're on the top shelf of a totally unrelated aisle, with the contruction toys. Lots of Prime in a center display. Few Ironhides and Treadbolts on top shelf in TF aisle

Target

Medford - 1 Scorponok

Woburn - Couple of Primes

Somerville - 2 Treadbolt

Newberry Comics

Alewife - Few basics

Burlington - Few basics

This was my last hunt before the Christmas, because I'm not crazy enough to go to a store this time of year.

Newbury Comics, on Newbury St. in Boston, had an Energon Saber set of Minicons today, until I left with it. ;)

For those interested in looking for more Energon figures at this store, or the other Newbury Comics stores, keep in mind that there's little organization to the placement of toys. I had to look incredibly hard to find this set.

I need to drag my butt to FAO Schwartz later this week, to see how their selection's holding up. I'll report back on this store later.

This would have been posted yesterday but I had to wait the forum account to get activated. Bleah....

Alternators Smokescreen sighted at two Target locations. One in Everett near Wellington T station, the other at Somerville near Burger King. At the time, Everett had 4 of them. Supposedly there is now 1 left after purchasing 3 of them. Somerville location has 1 left after friend's purchase and his sighting.

As of Feb 1, 2004:

Wal*Mart (Peabody): saw a few Alternators Smokescreen

Target (Saugus): two Alt. Sideswipe and three Alt. Smokescreen

Target (Everett/Medford): two Alt. Smokescreen

Thus far, no sign of 20th Ann. O.P.

Tentakill
02-03-2004, 01:57 AM
As of Feb. 2nd, the Stop & Shop on Harvard St. in Brookline has:

(1) Destruction Mini-Con Team
(3) Street Action Mini-Con Team
(2) Smokescreen with Liftor Mini-Con

They're placed in the same aisle as the Sugar-Frosted Chocolate Bombs, of course. Toys and cereal, quite the combination.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for the forthcoming Stop & Shop-exclusive Energon BlackZarak.

Found Cruellock and Signal Flare in the Danvers Wal*Mart. There was one of each. Bought Signal Flare, left Cruellock in hopes to lure more wave 2 figures out from the stockroom.

Spotted 2 20th Anniversary Primes (grey gun) at Target in Marlboro next to Solomond Pond Mall off of rt 290. I have MP-01, but still such a nice feeling seeing him on the shelves... :D

Optimus Scourge
02-18-2004, 10:09 AM
Black Gun 20th Prime found at TRU in Framingham. Only had two. I bought one (79.99) It's worth the extra $10.00 for the black gun. I wish my Masterpiece had a black gun too...

http://www.garyclark.info/20thPrime.jpg

Also plenty of Sideswipe and Smokescreen Alternators, and tons of the current re-issues.

Lance Halberd
02-18-2004, 05:05 PM
Danvers Wal*Mart has Energon Wave 2 Basics and Landmine.

Peabody Toys R Us has Energon Wave 2 Basics and Deluxes, and Universe Skywarp.

Salem Wal*Mart has Energon Wave 2 Basics and Deluxes.

Picked up Divebomb, Snowcat, Prowl, Rodimus, Landmine and Universe Skywarp. My wallet screams in pain.

As of Feb 19th, 2004...

Target (Everett):
* Alternators Smokescreen: either 1 or 2 left... forgot..

Target (Saugus):
* It is not a sighting but it is something to note. I saw the pricetag (and stock space) for 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime and it is $69.99 if memory serves me correctly. A lady was at the same aisle stocking up the toys and I asked my usual questions. The answers were 'no' and 'cannot say because they don't give out information regarding collectibles.' Oh well. It's almost here... but I wish it'd get here already...

Toys R Us (Medford):
* Energon Rodimus, Prowl, Starscream, and some others that seem pretty new. I am unsure as to the names of the second wave of Energon figures since I pay no attention to the series (Oh how I miss the RID/CarRobot days).
* Alternators Smokescreen: 6
* Alternators Sideswipe: 6

keitaro
02-25-2004, 02:12 PM
As of Feb 25, 2004...

Target (Saugus):
* 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime, grey-gun version. 3 (now 2, duh!) spotted. Anyone who lives in the area, now is your chance!

How come no one post in this thread anymore?
I am now at Boston for a business trip (I'm from Canada) and I'd like to contribute:
TRUS at 366 Cambridge Rd, Woburn:
All wave 2 basics, tons of G1 reissues at $20, Unicron at $30 (no Energon Unicrons though, but Armada Unicrons and Armada Unicrons in Energon packaging)

Walmart at 77 Main St, North Reading:
Energon Megatron x1 with a demaged box

1031Prime

Y2Bogus
04-07-2004, 09:40 AM
Yeah, as Boston's prominent Transfan I should contribute more. Here goes. Walmart in Danvers has tons of Megatrons, wave 2 deluxes and basics, Sunstorms, Prowls, Sideburns, minicon 6 packs, King Atlas, Desert Ruination and a ton of the minicon bonus packs.

Target in Danvers has 20th Prime, wave 2 basics and deluxes and King Atlas.

Why am I not posting? I've no interests in the Energon series. While they're pretty much new and keeps the toys fresh, the designs are rather poor. But I guess you can blame Car Robot/Robots in Disguise for that. For now, I'll focus my attention on the Alternators series.... that is, until another big thing comes around...

Lance Halberd
04-07-2004, 06:44 PM
I only post when there's new items on the shelves or when I go looking for TF's. Insecticon and Arcee started showing up on the West Coast a couple weeks ago, so it should be about mid to late April before they arrive on our shelves, and then sometime in May for Demolishor and whatever else has a Spring release date.

1031Prime

Landmine has been around since mid-February. Didn't see him at the Wally*World in Danvers today. Plenny o' Megatrons, though.

Best bet for Landmine may be the Peabody TRU at the North Shore Mall.

1031Prime
04-13-2004, 07:52 PM
It has been a rainy and unfruitful day today!
(My goal was to acquire BW Season 2 DVD set and Landmine)

Went to Danver Bestbuy and couldn't find BeastWars Season 2.
Went to the Target next door and couldn't find Landmine. 1 King Atlas though for anyone who's interested.

Then went to Danver Walmart still no Landmine, tons of Megatron
(Went to Reading Walmart already last week, no Landmine, got a Megatron however).

Then went to TRUS Burlington (close to my hotel, which I visted twice last week), and of course, no Landmine, haha. They've restocked and got some Ramjets.

I guess I'll try my luck at North Shore Mall TRUS tomorrow as Lance Halberd has suggested.

1031Prime

Y2Bogus
04-13-2004, 07:57 PM
The Woburn Target isn't too far from TRU, you might want to check there. There's also a TRU in Meford that I believe had some Landmines. Not too far from that TRU there's a Target in Everett, and another in Somerville.

1031Prime

Located Smallest Transformers Series 2 at the Toy Vault in the Emerald Square mall in Attleboro today. A little pricey at $6.99 but if you want instant gratification this is the only place around here where you can get it that I know of.

Lance Halberd
05-08-2004, 10:17 PM
Found Demolishor on 5/8/04 at the Danvers Wally*World. Only one, on a peg behind a row of Snowcats and Prowls. Looks like this may have been the 1x per case of Wave 2 restocks (had the new comic, too). Still no sign of Arcee and Insecticon since I saw them on 4/21/04. At this rate, Mirage should show up first week of June.

Lance Halberd
05-12-2004, 02:02 PM
The Salem Wally*World now has Mirage, Demolishor, Arcee and Insecticon.

DanLyons
05-14-2004, 06:22 PM
For any of you in Southeastern MA - the Walpole Wal*Mart just got in a new case of Basics. I saw one Arcee and two Insecticons. Both Insecticons were still there when I left.

I used to post on He-Man.Org on the Mass. thread about Mass toy sightings and invariably all the sightings were like about an hour and a half to two hours away. I am wondering if there are any Transfans closeby - Bellingham Wal-Mart, Toys-R-Us, K-B Toy Outlet, Milford K-Mart, Milford Target (and the Framingham stores as well !) I used to run this first circle (minus the Framingham stores twice a week, and post anything new. If there are any Trannyfans from this area please post as well - lately I have been busy with stuff, and my run throught that circle has gone from about twice a week to about once a month. If you are from around this end and see anything please post!! Thanks friends-this is the way we get the things we desire.
(Remember He-Man - what a great product, tears for its unnecessary dissapearance.)Still Transformers rule and cannot be torn down by poor marketing - I believe that the fans have spoken firmly and loudly about that. :ROCK :gouki

Has there been any sign of Mirage in the Boston area yet? I haven't seen him around, but then I haven't been out a lot, either. I don't have a car to explore the 'burbs, and since they closed the KB Toys in Coolidge Corner my closest source of toys is gone.

Since I'm financially busted right now, I'm only keen on finding Mirage and Shockblast when they hit the area. Any sign of either would likely motivate me to be short on rent money this month. :ev:

I first found Mirage three weeks ago at the Wal*Mart in Salem, and that's what, less than 15 miles away? I haven't been out on a hunt since then, so I'm not sure if that was a fluke or he's reached saturation yet. A good thing about the 'burbs is that there is a Wal*Mart and a Target in every other town.

As another person living in the burbs I can vouch for the truthfulness of this statement. There are three Wal-Marts and two Targets within the vicinity of Lynn and Peabody.

Indeed. When I was visiting my family in the 'burbs of upstate NY, I was able to pick up Energon Megatron at the local über-Wal*Mart. They have one of those huge ones, with an entire grocery store on one side, that's open 24/7. Talk about crazy—but they had pretty much every current figure available. If only I had a car, I could hit one of the local stores. :(

I'm going to be in Concord, NH this weekend, and will probably check the Wal*Mart there. If they happen to have Shockblast in stock… well, I won't be able to buy him, 'cause I need the money for rent. Bah!

It sucks having thousands of dollars of debt. Really, it does.

Found Defensor at KB Toys at the Natick Mall and the Solomon Pond Mall (Marlboro/Berlin) today. Also saw Energon Arcee in Natick, but $8 or $9 for a Basic is kind of a ripoff, don't u think? :rolleyes

And for those of you who may have missed out on it the first time, I found the RiD Landfill giftset at the Walmart in Framingham last week. There were three or four remaining last I checked.

06-19-2004, 09:06 PM
Just found this message board, making first post and hopefully not last.

On a trip to the Danvers Wal-Mart for other things today, I came across several Energon Demolishers, one Insecticon and one Arcee but no Mirage. Didn't pick any up as I already have them. Also everything one would expect them to have was there. Toys R Us in Peabody had nothing new.

I won't be doing much hunting for a while because I don't expect Shockblast, Omega, Cliffjumper et al until August at least, but I will post when I see anything worth wild.

Oh...for any one interested Newbury Comics in Peabody had a RID Ultra Magnus (far left of the store by the comics on top of one Alernator Smokescreen and Sideswipe) and the Comic Book Store in the Liberty Tree Mall (not sure of the name) had one Armada Megatron, and a what looked like a Reissue Sixshot I think (behind the counter).

Tentakill
06-20-2004, 02:09 AM
I wish the New England Comics in Coolidge Corner would carry Transformers. I know the owner digs them. They had an Armada Unicon there for a while, but he went within a couple of weeks of his original appearance in the store. Why they carry those Muppet Show figure, wack RPG figures, and other random crap—but don't carry Transformers of any kind—is beyond me. Do any of the NEC's in the Boston area regularly stock Transformers?

It's too bad the KB Toys down the street from the Coolidge Corner NEC was one of the ones that closed. :banghead:

Definitely not the one in Harvard Square, unfortunately. On the other hand, they had quite a few Transformers TPBs.

Got that right. Frankly, I don't know how KB manages to stay in business.

Me either. The only TF I think I actually bought there is the repaint of G2 Megs. They never have any figure I'm looking for and sometimes they're overpriced.

Tentakill

As does the one in Coolidge Corner. They have a lot of the Titan TPB's of the old Transformers comics, as well as a few of the more recent Dreamwave TPB's (G1/Armada). I was sort of surprised to even see that Armada Unicron show up in the store. I should get on the owner about stocking Transformers toys, but I think it's got more to do with what the NEC über-company provides him with than what he chooses to stock. He's told me in the past that he's only been able to get one copy of certain TPB's and special issues, because NEC as a whole only gets so many from the publisher, and has to distribute them amongst all of their stores. Weak.

Oh well. I need to get a business license and start ordering my toys from Hasbro—wholesale. Maybe I'll start a Transformers-only retail site. :wink:

Nowadays I check NEC once a month or whenever a new issue of G1 (Ongoing) is released. I live up in Melrose area so the closest NEC for me is one located in Malden. I can check for TF-related items the next time I stop by.

Man... I haven't checked up on any figures at all for eons... The only thing that really caught my attention was the Super Link Shadowhawk Cosmo Type figure. Now that I took a closer look at it, perhaps I should have bought Divebomb when it was released here. Guess I'll have to see if I can find one locally.

Stoped by the Wal-Mart in North Reading yesterday. Several Alternator Silverstreaks were in stock, although you might have to dig to find them, I did see about 4 left.
Also about three Energon Mirages were there, and again you have to search for them. They are on the top shelf on the other side of where the Transformers are located. Three Energon Demolishers where there as well.

I wish you would - I went to Ireland for 2 years and when I came back (Brookline) KBtoys in Coolidge Corner was gone - now I have to go to Kmart in Watertown and ToysRUs near Alewife! NEC hasn't had anything lately - gov't Center, Newbury St. or CC.

Since I have a Jeep Wrangler, went back to the North Reading Wal-Mart today looking for Hound with no luck. Definately restocked the Alternators from Mon. afternoon though. This trip was not in vain though. Choose to believe this post or not since I don't have a digital camera or scanner to verify, but Energon Cliffjumper and Shockblast were in stock briefly until they came home with me. Again believe me or not, I would doubt this post too since I have not seen any posted sightings yet, but Shockblast and Cliffjumper have hit Mass. Looks as if the North Reading Wal-Mart is getting restocked big time though. It wouldn't surprise me if Bulkhead and Omega Supreme are there within a few weeks (I looked high and low today for them too).

Still had of E Demolishers and Mirages too along with Alternator Silverstreaks. Also saw a Armada Wheeljack there as well.

Side note, I wonder if the new episodes on CN may have something to do with this? Doesn't Shockblast and a few new charecters debut in the episodes next week? Maybe they are trying to have the new stuff on the shelves as the charecters are introduced?

Went to the target in Woburn. Only thing of note was there were about 6 or 7 Energon Treadbolts in stock. Looks like they are cleaning out there old stuff, and unfortunately that doesn't include Energon Ultra Magnus, which was in that early wave.

I went to Ireland for 2 years and when I came back (Brookline) KBtoys in Coolidge Corner was gone[.] NEC hasn't had anything lately - gov't Center, Newbury St. or CC.
The NEC in CC has some new Micromasters figures. There is one team of six Autobot combiners, and a team of six Decepticon combiners. IIRC, they're selling them for $5.95 each. I bought figures 5 and 6 from the Decepticon team, and will likely go back for figures 1 - 4 before work tomorrow. :ev:

Nobody had bought any of these figures before I got there, so there are a decent number left—and I wouldn't be surprised if Ben (the owner) has more in stock, or if these will show up at other NEC's.

I really shouldn't be buying these, but I feel compelled to get the rest of the Decepticon team, so that I can build the gestalt.

I may swing through the Framingham (or other) Wal-Mart tomorrow, as I'll have a friend's car for the day. I don't mean to take advantage of her loaning me the car, but then her boyfriend's also on this board, so it would be advantageous if I came across a Shockblast for one or both of us. :D

Well, I didn't hit any Wal-Marts today, 'cause I was too fried from my job interview at Bose. I'll post an update on the stock of the Micromasters at the NEC in Coolidge Corner when I get home from work tonight. :cool:

[EDIT: The Takara Micromasters sets they're carrying at NEC are Sixturbo and Sixwing. Last evening there was still a full case of the Sixturbo figures, and a half case of Sixwing figures. According to the guy working there, these are the only cases they have right now.]

07-04-2004, 03:08 PM
The New England Comics at Coolidge Corner in Brookline now has three of the Takara G1 re-issues in stock. The figures that were there when I left (having purchased #7 - Sideswipe, for my friend :) ) are #2 - Prowl, #5 - Smokescreen, and #12 - Minibots (the set of six).

Sideswipe was priced at $41.95, but there's a sale running until the 7th, which includes 20% off all non-comic merchandise. It ended up being just over $33 for the Sideswipe figure, when all was said and done.

As for those Takara Micromasters, they're down to three of the Sixwing figures (I've got six of the colored figures, and two chase figures), and I'm guessing the rest are the chase figures needed to make the Autobot version of Sixwing. There's still a full case of twelve Sixturbo figures. :rolleyes

It would seem that some of these Takara figures should be popping up at other NEC's, BTW.

The only time I saw Alt. Silverstreak was two weeks ago on 6/23. The Danvers Wal*Mart had one (that I saw), and I bought it. Haven't seen hide nor hair of Silverstreak in any of the Saugus, Salem, Danvers, or Peabody Wal*Marts, Targets, or TRU's since then.

Aparently the North Reading Wal*Mart got the motherload of Silverstreaks and Hounds in that week, but I've never gotten around to seeing if they still have any.

Ironhide is a different story. Those stores could give away a free Ironhide with purchase of anything, and they still wouldn't run out of the damn things.

I don't know what the deal is, but I'm certainly not liking it.

Does anyone know if Unicron's on sale at the Target in the Lechmere area? I'd be all over a $20 Unicron, if some store would actually do us Boston fans a favor for once. I'm not saying this is a terrible area for finding Transformers, but this is a terrible area for finding Transformers. Yet another reason to hate this city, I suppose… :rolleyes

At least I managed to get two Shockblast figures from <a href="http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/">BBTS</a>, since the chances of finding him around here are slim to none.

I'll give Target a call tomorrow and report back if they can actually tell me whether Unicron's on sale. If so, I'll be going to get one in the next day or two, and will report on the number available at that time.

Sorry this is a little late but I finally found Alt Hound in the Peabody/Danvers Wal-Mart. Only one there, but two Silverstreaks were left. That was on 28-Aug.

Also on 28-Aug. the Target in Danvers had a single Nemisis Primeas which I picked up. I really had no urge to buy this prior to the bio being posted but with the shortage of new stuff out and the bio I decided to get it anyway.

Woburn Target had two Fireflights and Nemisis Strika each on 29-Aug, both still there when I left.

Well, I was just at the Swansea TRU, and they had at least two of the new Energon Optimus/Megatron 2-packs. Also, the Wal-Mart in Swansea had one Nemesis Strika left, and an Omega Supreme in the new Powerlink Battles packaging (although the box looked like it was sat on by Big Convoy in mammoth form). Finally, over the weekend I was able to procure a U. Nemesis Prime from the Target in Seekonk. The toy was not on the shelves, and I had to ask for someone to get him (actually, an employee there offered to check out back for me :thumb: )...ran into some trouble with a manager (thought that the item couldn't be pulled, but was apparently mistaken).

Well, the floodgates have opened on new Energon stuff. The Wal Marts in both Seekonk and Dartmouth have all of the new Energon deluxes, although you have to look on the end caps to find some of them (the new displays are up). Also, the TRU in Dartmouth (comes up as New Bedford on their store locator for some reason) has two Energon Energon Ironhides, the new deluxes, and one more Optimus/Megs two pack. In addition, the TRU in Swansea has 3 Shockblasts, 3 Cliffjumpers, 3 Dreadwings, and 2 Energon Energon Ironhides (and this is only because I bought one). There are also a single Hound and Silverstreak at the Wal Mart in Fall River, and all of the new Energon basics (Terrorcon repaints, Omnicon repaints, Insecticon, Arcee, Perceptor wave) are at both TRU's.

ahhh, the benefits of becoming a toys r us seasonal employee!!! I just started working overnights saturday, and yesterday at the toys r us in framingham, we got in 2 cases of the megas with wing saber and others. since I bought one w.s. and dinobot set, there's one more pair still there. we also got in a case of ricochets, I believe four of them. the megas are on sale, and with my discount, I got wingsaber and the dinobots for a total of $28! I'll keep posting for the area as we get in new toys.

The Wal Mart in Seekonk unfortunately does not have that cool new combiner display. However, it does have one Stormjet and two Steamhammers (well, they did have two Stormjets, but after I dragged over the ladder I'm sure you know where the other one went). They are in overstock, above the Hot Wheels with a bunch of other Powerlinx Battles deluxes. There was also at least 2 Omega Sentinels and an Alternators Dead End. The Target nearby had squat except for a couple of Nemesis Primes, and the Wal Mart in Fall River had a Soundwave and Space Case set, but nothing else of any real interest.

The Wal-Mart in Tewksbury has put up the Combiner Display and has all of the currently released limbs and body parts. There were about 20 each of Sledge, Duststorm, Sky Shadow, and Treadshot and there were about 10 each of Storm Jet and Steamhammer. This was of about an hour ago. The display is not really by the rest of the Transformers and in the middle of the main ailse.

In addition to the above, Landquake, Dreadwing, and Green Ironhide were there.

The Wal Mart in North Attleboro has the Energon Combiner display. The Toys R Us in North Attleboro has a stack of Omega Sentinels, and the Target had an Energon Galvatron (seems he's shipping with more Megatrons and an Optimus, but I'm not sure...there was only one there).

Well, here I am yet again with another minor report. This one is actually in RI, but as there is no RI thread, well, here I am. The Cranston KMart has one Prowl/Checkpoint pack left, but be forewarned...the box is smashed all to hell. The toys are in perfect shape, and the paperwork is there, but if you care at all about the box, then don't even bother. Also, the Wal Marts around here all seem to be really low on Megas, and have yet to restock, so hopefully a new shipment of the Wing Saber wave will go out soon, so keep your eyes open.

the Saugus Target has 1x Energon Galvatron and 1x Alt. Grimlock.

Yep, that's right. An Alt. Grimlock that I did not purchase. However, before you rush out to Saugus to buy him, heed my caveat: The box was ripped, the bubble containing Grimlock was attached to the bottom of the packaging by only one tab, the paint was scratched above the rear window, and worst of all, HE WAS MISSING HIS SWORD.

I took the battered box to Guest Services, and asked if because of the damages and missing parts, if they could check the stock to see if there were any out back. Honestly, I wasn't interested in purchasing Grimlock, I was hoping they'd pull out a minty fresh case with Swindle. The Guest Services rep. searched the inventory, and told me that there were no locations. Responding to my blank stare, she explained that 'no locations' meant there weren't any in the store. I then asked her if it was possible to mark it down because of the missing parts and damage, and she informed me that it was not store policy to mark down damaged items, but instead send it back and get a new case in.

So to the fuckstick who ripped Alt. Grimlock's box and stole the sword, thank you. Thank you for forcing Target to order more cases of Alternators. Unless Target just turns around and puts the damaged one back on the shelf in hopes that a less savvy customer buys it for the full price of $19.97.

Curse you Lazeric...I was just there last night, and there was nothing but some Streaks left. Oh well, the only new Alternator I need is Battle Ravage anyway, and he'll be shipping in the next assortment as well, even if I don't find him soon. Anyway, the Target in North Attleboro has 3 of the 4 new combiner limbs (the Treadshot repaint, and two of the neo-Combaticons). They did have all 4, but I bet you can guess who got those. (there were two of each when I got there, except for one of the Superion limb repaints, which may just not have been put up due to lack of space).

I only saw it once, and that was at the KMart in Cranston, RI. They had two and I snagged one. When I went back a couple of weeks later, there were none left. I would suggest just ordering it online if you can, or praying a bunch of them make it out of KMart distribution centers in the future, because for some reason Prowl/Checkpoint seems nigh on impossible to find.

Sorry. I never liked going to K-Mart unless I absolutely positively must get something from there. And that one particular time when it was spotted at Saugus K-Mart, I ran out to grab it.

I find it a little frustrating that toys don't have a "release date" like other things. CDs have release dates. Games have release dates. And movies have release dates. Yet when it comes to collectibles or toys, we all had to hunt them down and help each other spread the awareness around. It's gonna be nuts when the Cybertron/GalaxyForce figures actually make their debut. My wallet will continue to scream in pain...

The Target Greatland in Danvers had A3, D1, and D4, plus Alt. Swindle and Windcharger

The Wal*Mart in Danvers has 4 Alt. Silverstreaks.

The Peabody Toys R Us moved their TF display towards the back of their action figure section, next to the deeply-discounted Xevoz display. TRU has Alt Swindle, Grimlock, Battle Ravage, and Windcharger. Also several 2-packs of Optimus Prime and Megatron, but not the TRU exclusive of the smaller figures - these are the full-sized Primes and Megatrons with their boxes taped together and a retail price of $44.99. Also, the G1 Re-issues are all being deeply discounted.

The Target in Salem has Alt. Grimlock and Windcharger

Well, the TRU in Swansea had all the new Alts, 2 Sixshots and an Alpha Q. The TRU in Attleboro had all the new Alts as well. The Wal Marts in Swansea and Raynham have the new Universe Deluxes (multiples of each, too). Now, if I could just find E Grimlock and Swoop and Wing Saber in some place even remotely close to me I'll be happy (Peabody is, unfortunately, a bit too far). On a side note, if anyone would be willing to pick up E Grimlock and Swoop and Wing Saber for me I certainly wouldn't complain (now I know I'm dreaming :D ).

Actually, Grimlock and Swoop are not in the next assortment (but Wing Saber is), that's why I'm getting a little worried. And I have been to at least 30 different Wal Marts, KMarts, TRUs, Kay Bees, and Targets since Christmas and I have not seen a single Beachcomber.

edit: I also forgot to mention that there was one Quickstrike in stock. In person it looks alot better than Bulkhead IMO; it tempted me, but since I won't but a repaint that is over a Deluxe, unless I can get it on clearance, I left it there.

I posted this in the General Discussion Section too.

This was at the Wal-Mart in North Tewksbury.

I needed to pick a few things up at Wal-Mart yesterday, so I went to the one near where I work when I finished. Of course I check to see if Alt. Wheeljack is in stock, which he wasn't, but I did notice several things of interest. The first is they were resetting the shelves, the reset still had Transformers Energon listed but I didn't check for Universe. The second thing I noticed was that all Energon Basics were marked down to $3.00 and all Deluxes were marked down to $4.00. The marked down deluxes included Roadblock and E. Starscream. The newest Universe deluxes minus Blastcharge were also marked down to $4.00. The final thing I noticed as I was leaving they had their remaining Energon Megas (Sixshot, Dreadwing, Wingsaber) marked down to $10.00. These were on a clearance display with some other toys near the check out counters.

Those new Unleashed figures haven't been released yet but should be soon (another month or two I believe). Anyway, I haven't really spotted anything exciting lately. However, the TRU in Swansea does have some pretty sweet deals on reissues ($6 Skywarps, even cheaper Grapples and Red Alerts, if they dig more up).

Woburn TRU alright. 5 Vector Primes, 5 Crumplezone, 5 Scourge, 5 Jetfire, 1 Optimus Prime, 1 Megatron, and 3 or 4 of the deluxes. No Suprmes or Basics though.

Lucky - the North Attleboro TRU only had Scourge and Jetfie, neither of which I have any interest in.

And oddly enough, TRU Peabody had diddly squat. Not even unopened cases in the overhead space. I'll check again on Friday.

As of 8:00 the Megatron at the Woburn TRU is gone, I unfortunately did not get him. Surprisingly, all 5 scourges where gone, too.

Not really lucky. The pic on the main page basically told me they were there.

TRU north attleboro has none on wednesday when I was there.

TRU Dedham has Megatron/Optimus, Vector Prime, Scoure, Crumplezone.

I also found two alternator Grimlocks there, so check your TRU's some old alt assortments may be shipping.

I just meant that you were having better luck than I was: 5 stores checked with no figures that I was interested in at any.

I'll just have to learn patience - - hope that doesn't take too long to do.

Phew - don't have to worry about learning anything. Went back to TRU in North Attleboro and they had put out both Voyager and Deluxe class figures.

TRU Peabody still has not put Cybertron out. I friggin hate them.

So I drove to Woburn to see what was left. Picked up Landmine and Dirt Boss, and all that's left of like an hour ago are one each of Hot Shot, Landmine, Dirt Boss, Vector Prime, Crumplezone, and Jetfire.

Well, the TRU in Swansea has at least one of each of the deluxes and 3 Crumplezones. Also, the TRU in Warwick, RI had absolutely nothing as of Friday.

At 8 pm on the 27th, the Woburn TRU was totally bereft of Cybertron, but has a Swindle and a Grimlock!

There where two Grimlocks, but I got one:D This TRU is the only place I've ever seen a Grimlock.

Framingham TRU has Cybertron wave one besides Optimus Prime. I got the last one...No Starscream.
I picked up a few figs. Hotshot is great, btw. Only 1 of him left as of 3:00 6/29

The Peabody TRU finally got Cybertron at some point over the past few days. Picked up the only Prime and a Ransack. One Megatron, tons of basics, megas, and ultras left, but onley one or two deluxes.

i have seen two grimlocks at both a target and a TRU lately, seen swerve with them. I think a weird case assortment is circulating.

I am still waiting to find a Ransack or supreme starscream. I am not getting much from the Cybertron line, gonna go mostly with takara on this one, and not get much of that.

Anyone see any massively reduced in price silverstreaks or smokescreens from the G1 re-issues. I want to track those two down.

I picked up Alternator Swerve at North Attleboro Target today (they only had the one, sorry... he was surrounded by about three or four Swindles, no Grimlocks, though...)

TRU over there had Cybertron Ops and Megs (so it looks like they have all Cybertron except for the Scout/Basics and Starscream.)

The Peabody TRU:

i got the last hot shot today.

there are a bunch of vector primes and crumple zones left, and quite a few basics...mostly back pack...or whatever he's called in the states.

The G1 reissues are all in the clearance section now, from 6.98-9.98 or so.

almost got the last prowl...but then decided against it, since i already have him misb.

TRU in Attleboro had the first wave of Cybertron except for Optimus, Megatron, and Starscream. I was happy though as I was finally able to pick up the Scouts :D .

Danvers Wal-Mart has stocked with all the Cybertron scouts that are out Ransack, Overhaul, Scattershot, Clocker, Hardtop, and the Recon Minicon Team. Also had all the deluxes as well.

Peabody TRU stocked with everything but the scouts.

There is a swerve waiting for one of you at the Woburn TRU, plus a lot of Swindles and Grimlocks, and all of cybertron wave one.

Wal Mart in Fall River had 2 Primes, 1 Megatron, and 3 Clockers left as of yesterday evening (it also had one of the minicon pack and one hardtop, but I bet you can guess where those went :ev: ).

For those of you who visit the Danvers Wal*Mart, they moved the toy section. It's just past the pet supplies, across the aisle from where it used to be.

I stopped in yesterday in hopes to pick up Clocker and the Recon Team (which I did), and they were just finishing up moving the toy section. Basically, all the toys were thrown on shelves, vaguely grouped by brand. The TFs were in with the model paints and cars. From what I could tell, they had the wave 1 and 2 basics, the wave 1 deluxes, megas, ultras, and leaders. No sign of supreme Starscream or any Alts.

No Transformer sighting, but the Woburn Target is doing their reset. I wouldn't be surprised if Override and Red Alert showed up shortly after.

Also for Star Wars Unleashed collecters like myself I also saw the new Darth Vader (1), A. Ventress (4), and Yoda vs. Sideous (0 after I picked it up). Only left the other two because I already have them although was tempted to pick Vader up a hawk him on Ebay.

After checking with the Medford Toys R Us on the Fellsway Plaza, I can give some of you an update. I haven't heard anything regarding this location in a long time. But here's what I've found. Oh, and... do translate as I'm very used to the Japanese names instead of Hasbro's wacky recycled ones.

Alternators: Shockblast x 2, 1 Wheeljack, plenty of Ravages, some Smokescreen/Sideswipe combo packages.

As for Cybertron...

Galaxy Convoy -- plenty around it seems
Master Megatron -- a handful
Supreme Starscream -- just 1
Flame Convoy -- Just 1
Dreadlock -- 2 (or was that 3?) found
Vector Prime -- plenty to go around, some overstock at the top shelf
Land Bullet -- plenty to go around, some overstock at the top shelf
Exillion -- a handful, no exact count
Thundercracker -- same as above
Inch Up -- unsure of exact count but found

I believe that's all I've found. I also do noticed something weird with Megatron while I was over there. The coloring seems to be off and I don't know why that's there. I was extremely tempted in getting Dreadlock/Jetfire as he has a silverish kind of finish on him but I'm also clueless as to how the paint job is on Takara's version. One thing is certain, I cannot trust Hasbro's version all that much, even tho I cannot find any obvious visual differences between Hot Shot and Exillion. A pity... I would have bought Hasbro's version had they kept the original paint job instead of making unnecessary changes.

It looks like that is about 25 miles, I'll check it out tomorrow. Buying the reissue for replacement Decals is almost cheaper than buying replacement decals from Repro/labels.

happen to recall how much tracks was?
