    Explain to me exactly what the TF Universe stuff is. Should I start collecting it? Got my hands full with Armada and G1 stuff.

    TRU Times Square this morning had Tidal Wave, Optimus Primal and Razor Claw (I think that's his name).

    No more new mini-cons though.

    The TRU at Union Square has a ton of TFU Razorclaws and Primals. They also briefly has a couple TidalWaves come in today, but someone(s) scooped them up by the time I came back.

    Really? I was there Sunday and I didn't see Tidal Wave. They had the swords, Universe Primal, Snarl, Reptillion and one other purple one. They had CSIV re-issues. I picked up a Red Alert:D 

    Wal-Mart in Middletown had nothing but Primes and and Wave 2/3 Minicons. (I went Sunday)

    Wal-Mart in Newburgh FINALLY got new TF's!!!
    They have 1 Rhinox and 2 Bendy Primes left (I bought the last thrust) They also had the 2 new waves of Minicons (Sea, Dark Saber, Rescue, Air Assault) with some wave 3's mixed in.
