    32 Uni's? Damn! If all of them were opened, I'd say there'd be tickets to see a royale!

    Alllllllrrrrrrrrright! Here's the sightings at TRU on Sawmill Road. In the Universe line, Silverbolt, Snarl, Blackarachnia, and Razorclaw were the only figures. Commemorative Series wise, INFERNO AND HOIST HAVE ARRIVED! Also with them are Prowl, Skywarp, PMOP (AGAIN!?!? WTF!?), and Silverstreak. Now for Armada. 2 Unicrons in stock, ready to be plucked for the picking. Plenty of Superbase Primes and Galvys, no doubt for Red Alert and Scavenger. Powerlinx Jetfire has FINALLY arrived, and there are 2 left. I didn't get one, because I need a lot of cash for Takara Reissue Soundwave. The MiniCon Teams there were Sea, Space, Adventure, Night Attack, Street Speed, and Air Assault. The role-play swords are still there (for cryin' out loud, who'd really want those?) and the only Supercons were Cyclonus, Hot Shot, Optimus Prime (and autobot hood variant), and Smokescreen (Now a fuckload!). Forgot to go to Big Lots next door for any bootlegs. Sianarra!

    of what? the Commemmorative Series? Yeah, at the TRU on Sawmill Road, next to Big Lots.






    Ok. Onward to my sightings at the Target Greatland in Columbus, next to the Office Max and PetsMart. The only Universe figures were the wave 1 figs, except Optimus Primal. In the Armada line, the MiniCon Teams I saw were Destruction, Adventure, Space, Street Speed, Sea, Air Military, and Emergency. Only maxcons were Skywarp and Overload (WHY!? I'm waiting patiently for Energon UM and I already own Skywarp), and there were the role-play swords (Why did Hasbro even bother to make those?). The gigacon I saw as just one lone Galvatron. Super Pants Prime still there, and the Supercons I found were Smokescreen (This time, not a crapload), Optimus Prime(With variant yet again, who I'm not buying), Sideswipe (Yep, the stupid brick has crawled to Columbus), Wheeljack, CHEETOR:eek: , POWERLINX CYCLONUS :eek: , and finally, POWERLINX THRUST! :eek:  Well, it seems I''ve done my job here again, so I shall depart, 'til I come back next week!

    I'm here! Just went to TRU again on Sawmill Rd today, and let me say, DAMN! That's a crapload of transformers! A lot of Galvatrons, Smokescreens, Powerlinx Jetfires (bought one :thumb : ), you name it. Thundercracker and Scavenger were there too, along with Blurr, Cyclonus, Hot Shot, Powerlinx Prime, Tidal Wave, and 2 Unicrons! :eek:  I also found the Sea, Street Speed, Night Attack, and Space MiniCons. The Commemorative Series V has arrived! Tracks, Inferno, and Hoists aplenty, along with Skywarp, PM Prime, Silverstreak, and Prowl. The only Universe figures found were Silverbolt, Snarl, Razorclaw, and Blackarachnia. That's 10/18/03 sightings from the Columbus area of OH.

    Weekly sightings at Target Greatland once again. Major shortage of Gigacons for the Armada line. None to be found. Superpants Prime there, along with the roleplay swords. Only maxcons (again) were Overload and Skywarp. Supercons there were Smokescreen, Blurr, Thrust, Optimus Prime (w/ or w/o variant Autobot hood symbol), Rhinox, Sideswipe, Thrust, Airazor, and Cheetor. Only MiniCon Teams were Emergency, Sea, Space, Street Speed, Adventure, Air Assault, and Night Attack. I got the Emergency and Night Attack MiniCon Team, making them the last MiniCon Teams I'm buying for the Armada line. Only Universe figures were Razorclaw, Optimus Primal, Silverbolt, Snarl, and Blackarachnia. This has been the 10/25/03 sightings from da Blurrwave of the Columbus/Dublin, Ohio area.

    too lazy to report, but went to Toys R us (yeah, the one on Sawmill Rd, next to Big Lots) and I found Autobot Ratchet and Inferno for universe line. Got AR, so now I have my first X-Brawn mold. *yawn*

    Here are da sightings from TRU on Sawmill Road (I finally post after weeks of sleepiness!). Only Universe figures were Optimus Primal (Munkky not Trukk!), Razorclaw, Autobot Ratchet, Inferno, Blackarachnia, and Dinobot Striker. There were tons of Commemorative Series V Hoists, Tracks', and Infernos. Saw Commemorative Series III Autobot Jazz, and Powermaster Prime. The only Wave 1 Armada Figure was Super pants Prime. I saw Powerlinx Hot Shot, Sideways, and Blurr with a Destruction or Adventure Minicon bonus! Woot woot! :D  Anywho, Smokescreen, Powerlinx Cyclonus, and Supercon Prime were there, along with Galvatron, Unicron, the Role-Play Swords, and Tidal Wave. The maxcons there were Powerlinx Red Alert, Scavenger, Predacon, and Thundercracker (Got him!). The Minicons I saw were Space, Adventure, Street Speed, Night Attack, and Sea teams. I had to go to Kohl's because my mom had to get a christmas gift for my dad. While I was there, I saw the toy aisle, and there he was...NEMESIS PRIME! I got him, considering he was the last one in stock. So, that completes my Transformers Armada collection. Peace out!












    Oh yeah. I won't be doing a transformer sightings next Saturday, due to Black Friday. But I will be posting the week after that.




    :confused .......See ya! *Turns on ivisibility mode and walks out of thread, but will return some other time*

    Has anyone been to the Heath/Hebron TRU? I'm going there in a couple of weeks and wanted to know if they even carried any Transformers, I have not been there in about 2 years.
