    Hi Chaps,

    I'll be popping over to Manhattan for a few days in Feb,
    Was wondering if there was anywhere decent for TF's (and toys in general) other than TRU (Times Square's the only one on Manhattan, right?).
    Walmart and Target seem to be the other sid eof the Lincoln Tunnel, could I get a bus over there?

    And obviously, if anyone fancies a beer while I'm over there then I'm buying :) 

    Cheers,
    Doug

    Dewitt Walmart has about 3 FOC Ultra Magnus, 3 Starscreams, 2 Kickbacks, 2 Fireflights and a sideswipe. I didn't see voyagers though.

    I've been able to consistently find all the Beast Hunters Deluxes at Rego Centre TRU in Queens and the FOC Deluxes at Times Square. Grabbed Bumblebee at Rego Centre the other day, and there were still two Soundwaves, two Lazerbacks, and one Wheeljack.

    The recent appearance of BH Voyager Optimus in Canada has me wanting to keep an eye out for that here-- it can't be too long now.

    Just got back from Colonie TRU. Plenty of Deluxe Wave 3 FoC toys. No Kickback though. Plenty of Beast Hunters deluxe but again no Lazerback. Still plenty of VOyager Soundwaves/blasters and Cassette Legends. They also have a lot of old Prime Deluxes including Knockout and Airachnid. Has anyone found the Beast Hunters voyagers yet?

    No sign of any Beast Hunters Voyagers near me either. Stopped by Rego Centre again yesterday; found one of each wave 2 FOC Deluxe (I bought the only Air Raid), several Soundwaves/blasters, but in terms of Beast Hunters, there was just a single Lazerback.

    FYI. Target has microchangers wave 1 but they are putting them out with the valentine stuff in the back of the store, NOT in the toy section. I've been to four Targets in the last few days and each had them with the valentine stuff.

    Not much going on at Times Square TRU or Rego Centre; both of them have a couple of Beast Hunters Wave 1 Deluxes, a small amount of FOC stuff (aside from several Soundwaves at Times Square), and no BH Voyagers. Boo.

    Not really a sighting, but simply an observation: the Webster Wal-Mart's Transformers section has been seemingly non-existent for about a month now. Unless you count the one Optimus Maximus and couple Bot Shot packs on the bottom shelf.
