    I haven't seen any new TFs in a good while. The newest we have around here are the Animated wave with Blurr and Swindle, etc. and the Universe wave with Smokescreen and Dinobot. I have seen only one Shockwave (original colors) and no Skywarp, Wreck-Gar, Inferno, Leo Prime, or anything like that.

    Greenwood sucks :(

    Saw bunch (about 4) at Target today. I passed on him because I am saving up for MP Grimlock. Just give it time you'll see him soon enough.

    My walmart had 3 of them.
    at the moment, my walmart has oodles of TFA, but they are all the same figs:
    oilslick
    Soundwave
    elite guard BB
    1x swoop
    1x sentinel prime

    I am frustrated with the lack of TFU, instead.
    at the moment, it has too many voyagers.

    I've never seen Wreck-Gar in stores. Not yet at least. I may end up buying him from somebody like BBTS.

    Yeah well Australians have to buy him online and imports him and Shockwave and Skywarp and any other voyagers released between now and nov since Hasrbo AU made the wonderful choice of not releasing anymore voyager class Animated toys until Nov.

    Take this advice folks: if you can't find it at retail, buy it online. Chances are you're going to pay a lot more in the end, because it's not just money you'll be spending, but wasted gas and wasted time.

    I lost countless hours, gas, mileage, money looking for Concept Camaro Bumblebee and in the end, I most likely spent $75.00-90.00 when it was all said and done. When I could've just spent $25.00 (including shipping) and called it a day. Granted, some folks won't spend that kind of time and money...in the beginning. But when you add it all up and see just how much you've wasted looking for that one figure (maybe two)...you feel kinda stupid.

    Yeah, it's true that online prices suck, but $30-35.00 for Wreck-Gar is not unheard of, nor is it a terrible price.

    Yeah, it's great getting the figure you want at retail, I love doing it, but I'd much rather have it than go home empty handed. I'll pay a little extra now to save a lot in the long run.

    I looked and looked for Wreck-gar everywhere, until finally I saw a sighting here on the forums and raced immediately for it. He's finally showing up at Targets around here, but they go very quickly. It's a pain, but I was able to find an Inferno too. And as to the Ultra Magnuses, there's a bunch around here just shelf-warming away. I could find about 10 of them, including a couple of Roadbuster repaints. One of the local TRU's has like 4 of them collecting dust... Shadow Blade Megatron, now that's a hard one to find. He was here, and then he was gone. I got lucky and bought it the first time I saw it.
