South Lebanon Target had absolutely nothing. I was all prepared to treat myself a'fore the great isolation begins, and they barely had any figures period, let alone new or different Earthrise stuff.
Target in Huber Heights has 1 ER wheeljack, ironworks, and grapple as of this afternoon. Grapple's box is a little beat up but still sealed. Plenty of battle and micromasters. I grabbed the last hoist and a 2nd grapple.
I forgot to add that I also saw the NECA "Big Chap" Alien at Tri-County Target yesterday. He looked great. And, I would have gotten him had I not just gotten an older NECA Alien at the Toy Dept. earlier in the week. Big Chap also comes with improved articulation over the older design as well as one of the Alien eggs, a face sucker/impregnator and a chest burster...in case you needed any more incentive...
Stopped by Walmarts in Englewood and they have 3 or 4 G1 Astrotrains, plenty pof 35th Anniversary Cell shaded Primes and 3 Megatrons. I did see SS Soundwave and the Shiny Megatron as well. I about caved and bought both just because I haven't bought anything for a short awhile, but walked away to save money for ER!
Smashdown is now on Amazon for $5.99 Meijer in Lewis Center had like 800 pterodactyl dudes, a mix of mini vehicle 2-packs, and not much else. Nothing from ER for sure, just a very few random Siege deluxes and such.
Thank you greatly for the notice regarding Smashdown being available for $5.99 on Amazon! I've been wanting to pick one up but as I've stated before (probably too many times now so sorry about that) I am unable to go out on the hunt on a normal basis; let alone with the current health dangers present in stores etc that apply directly to my disabilities. So... it was great for me to just hop on Amazon and order a $5.99 Smashdown with free shipping because of Prime. I'm on step closer to owning the bots that I'd like to have in my collection thanks, once again, to this wonderful community!
Dayton Mall Target has 1 ER Astrotrain and LC Prime. Prime does have a chip or scratch on his face plate. Sugarcreek Target has 2 ER Grapples nothing else Huber heights Target has no ER but saw SS scavenger and shockwave. Nothing in Beavercreek Target. Nothing at beavercreek Walmarts. Nothing at Dayton mall Walmarts.
Anyone been checking Cincy Meijers for SS Wave 9 recently? I know Ohio is effectively shutting down soon (or at least it feels that way)
I checked the Cold Springs/Alexandria Meijer a couple days ago. They had finally finished their reset and only had older waves of stuff. It seems like that store is, like, 6 months behind everybody else.
Nothing out of the ordinary at Tri-County Target. Spinister. Marvel Legends Quick Kick...Lol... Edit: Stopped by the Best Buy across the street from Target...they are on lockdown.
Shucks...was just there the other week. Not surprising, though...even when they were open they looked closed.
They had a sign in the front as soon as you walked in that said they were closing for about a month or so. They didnt liquidate, and they just chose not to renew the lease, as the sales were really down at that store. it was announced early February. In other news, Meijer in Hamilton has nothing of note.
Forgot to mention earlier but in case you need a Jetfire Oakley Meijer has a Siege Jetfire along with a SS Arcee pack and SS49 Bee
Kind if reminds of Target in Middletown. As a kid Target was born in Middletown and always went there to buy Transformers or GI Joe. This Target was besides Kohls, I think sales was down for that store and closed it. Not sure if that Target moved or not? It used to be on the west of town, closed to Armco or AK Steel now.
Has anyone seen any Siege Jetfire's on sale or for a lower than normal price? I'd really like to pick one up for my collection but the couple of times that I have seen one it's been at that high price point where I just can't justify buying one boy over being able to pick up several bots. I don't know if I'm getting my point across but I only have a limited amount of monthly funds to use for new bots and if I have the choice of buying two or three new bots over a single new bot I typically lean towards buying several new bots. I remember a while back seeing where somebody on here had found Jetfire at a really great price but as I said... that was a while ago. Anyways, if anyone spots a Jetfire at a less than regular price, please contact me ASAP as I don't want to miss out on getting him. Also... and i know I should put this in the Trade section of these forums but I thought I'd put it up here for the Ohio area folks first... I was looking through some boxes in my toy and comic book dungeon when i found several boxes full of vintage Micronauts stuff that was left over from when I sold my entire Micronauts collection over 15 years ago. It's a random assortment of figures, parts and vehicles. At any rate, I'd love to find a home for some or all of this stuff so if anyone is interested in trading Transformers stuff for vintage Micronauts stuff... just send me a PM. I'd sell the stuff too of course... I'm just wanting for these remnants of my once amazing Micronauts collection to end up in a good home is all. Before anyone mentions it... I know I can sell the stuff on ebay too and I'm sure that I'll prolly end up having to do that anyways. I was just hoping that I could find someone on here that might have an interest because... in my humble opinion Micronauts(Microman) are definitely the ancestors to the modern Transformers.
I know some Walmarts did have Jetfire discounted for $55.00 and had 1 or 2 on the shelf at that time. Thats, been sometime last year if memory serves me right? I haven't seen any at the Walmarts, I've been too. Meijer stores in my area has at least 4 or 5 each and still at full price and never seen it stocked at Target, unless Target.com has it. I did take a quick peek at Walmart.com and still full price and Amazon as well and still around the $80 price. Not sure how big of fan you are with Ebay, but found this - Hasbro Transformers WFC Commander Jetfire Action Figure - WFC-S28 for sale online | eBay I would say at this point either wait until Amazon or Walmarts drops in price again, but who knows when that will be. Hope this helps!
