^ yeah those have been like that since last week. 1'st it was only chromdome then the next nite it was the rest of them.

 

Thanks to Toy Arena for hooking me up at Frank and Sons this past weekend.

 

I'm in LA for the week, what are the good toy shops I need to check out?

 

Thanks for the heads up. Good you went ahead of everybody else to tell us. I'm sure some peeps were heading that way to visit the store.

 

That is really messed up. I can understand that sometimes - rarely though - kids will open a package in store, sometimes the toy is there, sometimes it's missing something, or whatever. It happens. But this was clearly a collector who knows about the Takara head appearance and just said "MINE." Some people have no freakin' shame.

 

West Sac Walgreens has a Mindwipe and a Krok.

 

Gardena Target on Redondo Beach has 2 hot rods, 1 triggerhappy, 1 doublecross,and a CW thundercracker in a pear tree

 

Walgreens on Broadway in Sac has a Triggerhappy and a Brainstorm.

 

Fullerton Toys R Us has the new Robots in Disguise Warriors wave. Picked up Soundwave, Skywarp, and Windblade (with facemask). Left behind another Soundwave, Windblade, and two Blurrs.

 

Sweet, been looking forward to this wave. Would love to hear your thoughts/see pics of this Windblade if time permits, especially how she compares to the first RID version.

EDIT: I think this may be newsworthy too, haven't seen these reported. Have pic and/or receipt?

EDIT 2: Nm, someone posted this morning already Robots in Disguise Combiner Force Wave 2 (?) out at US Retail

 

Unfortunately, I have no means of taking pictures. My phone is an ancient POS and the only digital camera I had died years ago.

 

Ah ok no worries. Were they $16.99 each?

 

They were $16.99 each. I tried to get the Toys R Us website's price of $14.19 for RID figures, but without a smart phone I wasn't able to show the cashier.

 

2 Hot Rod, 2 Triggerhappy, 2 Twinferno, 1 Breakaway, 1 Alpha Trion, 1 Astrotrain, 2 Soundwave, and 2 Powermaster Prime at Target on Sepulveda

 

Target in Granada Hills, CA on Balboa Blvd had the following today 3/15/17 @ 4:30pm-ish: Twinferno, Triggerhappy, several Hot Rods, 2 Soundwaves, and 1 Power Mater Optimus Prime.

What's disappointing, Target's inventory "SAYS" Seargeant Kup, Perceptor, Chromedome, and Highbrow <--- no where to been seen anywhere   Same goes for North Hollywood Target on Victory, listed in-stock at the store, but nothing in store (checked this morning).

 

If the computer says it's in stock, it could still be in the box in the back. Check back in a couple days.

 

The deluxe figures all have the same dcpi. The computer is simply saying they have deluxe in Stock

 

How much for each if you dont mind me asking...next time there take pictures of their inventory and post it up for us to see. I am from Bakersfield and been thinking of taking the drive down to check them out but not sure if it worth it.

 

^ a lot of their shiets is over priced n heavily marked up. Plus they are scalpers. The locals there seems to have difficulty finding items in their local toy stores and no, I don't consider comic shops a toy store per se cuz it's still a scalpers shop.

So no it's not worth the drive

 

Yeah toyarena is a last resort for me. They're the only people in orange county that get imports and 3rd party on a regular basis, so they get kind of unreasonable.

Has anyone in OC seen any Kroks?
