    Hello guys. I've been lurking these boards since February. I thought I'd throw my own observations in. I was just at the Super Target at 120th and Washington. They have several Rodimus, Prowl, Snowcat, and three Demolishors. I bought a Demolishor since I missed him before. They also have several Megatrons. For once I didn't see any Inferno or Hot Shots warming the pegs. In all, they look rather picked over, which is what I've come to expect when I go looking. I'm as frustrated as anyone else here when it comes to finding new stuff, especially when we read that people in other states are finding the toys we want.

    A reminder, Christoph, our Binaltech Dead Ends should be coming soon!

    I take it you didn't get the other Alternator Autobot Hound at the Super Kmart? It was gone when I checked back there last night! :confused

    Nah, I had the girlfriend with me all weekend. I didn't want to subjugate her to more toys than she was getting used to by seeing my bed room :D 

    I'll check some stores tonight if I get the chance.

    MIA Transformers!!!!

    I don't get it. Can someone please explain it to me? I was out today at the Wal Mart on 102nd and the Target on 120th and the only thing I found was a cruelock and an insecticon. I read sightings for other states and keep seeing" found cliffjumper, found shockblast, etc... Why is Colorado being kept out of the loop? I even e-mailed hasbro and they told me that they have nothing to do with the distributing and that it is the retailers responsibility . I ask employees and I get the spaced out look of " What are you talking about?" Well I am going to try Wally world in commerce city and hope for the best.

    Till all are one. :ROCK

    Darn it, I live down in Colorado Springs and they don't have any of the latest alternators or energon figs. I check 2 Targets, 4 wal-marts, and 2 k-marts on a regular basis with no luck.

    Get used to it for now. We're all in the same boat. We feel your pain. But the good thing is, if anyone who posts to this board finds something and posts about it, some of our shopping urges can be satisfied. This weekend Christoph and I may go hunting in an area we don't get to much if things work out a certain way. Obviously if we find something (and we leave it in the store), one of us will come screaming onto the board.

    Greeley still has nothing.
    Haven't gotten away long enough to check Loveland yet.
    Want to check TRU for possible Sideswipe or Skids sightings.
    Haven't checked the Target store in Greeley yet, or the KMart, but I don't have high hopes.

    Still M.I.A

    I have been checking here and still didly. I am curious as to why the state of Washington is getting all the good stuff :banghead:  . Don't believe, me check it out. There getting Omega Supreme, Cliffjumper, Shockblast, Mirage, and more. Who do we have to talk to so that we may start getting these toys. I have talked to Hasbro and Wal-Mart and no one knows anything :thumbdown  . I am still trying and will keep the faithful informed.

    In the last two days, I've checked the TRU's in Westminster, Aurora, and Park Meadows, none found. I'll be sure to keep stopping by at least one of them this week, I'll let you know (well, the Aurora store at least... it's on my way home from work!) :thumb :

    Zaku, Christoph and I can keep an eye on the TRU in Westy (and several other stores on the north side), since we live in Thornton and Northglenn, respectively. I would watch Aurora stores, but I hardly get down there (I have family I don't like there) unless I need to look for anything I left behind when I left like a bat out of hell.

    Greeley
    WalMart 47th Ave and 10th St
    - Mirage x 1 (top shelf)
    - Demolisher x 2
    - Sunstorm on sale for $12.00
    - Ruination on sale for $15.00

    Target 47th Ave and Highway 34
    - Energon Tidal Wave x 2
    - Armada Unicron $19.99 (about 8 left)

    Still have yet to see an Arcee, a Shockblast, a Cliffjumper, a Bulkhead, or a Hound. I was going to check some stores in the southern Denver area today (Walmart in Parker, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, TRU by Park Meadows) and probably hit up the WalMart in Loveland as I'll be going through all of them with the girl for a BBQ. I'll let you guys know.

    Omnicons found

    Hey all, if Offshoot and E. Strongarm are not at your target they should be soon. Magnus and I found them at the S. Target off of Highway 36 in Louisville, so keep your hope alive. There is still one Offshoot left so if any one is close or interested good luck.

    If there are more people on the boards that have seen or know of locations, please don't be shy and hop on and share with the rest of us. In my opinion I think it kinda sux that there are the few of us that take the time to go out and locate new transformers and then put up a post just so others can run out and grab what we have found with out returning the favor. this is not a complaint but an observation that I thought needed to be voiced.

    Good luck all.

    Till all are one!!!!

    Well, I've usually been putting up my sightings at unicron.com (if you see a Northern CO sighting, chances are I've put it in there). This is my first time (and post) on this board (newbie alert!).

    It's not totally hopeless to find stuff if you check on Mondays and Fridays, if you can get the time to do it (big if--not so hard for me as I usually work afternoons). Weekends are usually a big drag--kids and collectors have wiped out anything good by Sunday morning. That said, here's what I've found in the last two days:

    Loveland Target (7/19):
    1x Offshoot
    2x Arcee
    2x Insecticon

    (There was also an Energon Strongarm, but he came home with me. And to think, I only went there to get a drink after going to the library....)

    Today (7/20):

    Fort Collins Target:
    1x Energon Strongarm (should still be there)
    1x Offshoot
    2x Arcee
    2x Insecticon

    A big note: neither of these Targets had Energon Strongarm or Offshoot in the computer (I checked with the price code scanner). If you pick one up, remember to tell the cashier that it costs $6.99, so you don't have to sit and wait for a price check. Targets are very, very slow about that kind of thing (I should know, I used to work at one). So, Christoph, looks like a whole bunch of area Targets have gotten the new Omnicons, as you guessed.

    Ft. Collins Kohl's

    2x Demolisher
    2x Arcee

    And... please don't kill me... they also had 1 Downshift and 1 Tow-line, which I picked up. If you live near a Kohl's, make sure to check for these guys, unless you live in Greeley--I popped in there this weekend and they don't even carry any TF's.

    I didn't even think I'd be seeing anything new this week, let alone picking up three new things in two days. So, chin up, guys--stuff's coming. Albeit very, very slowly. :qconfused

    I just got back from my week long vacation across the plains of KS and OK. I did find a KB Toys still open in St Joseph, MO and was able to finally pick up the Universe Defensor for $25. On the way back yesterday I found Alt Silverstreak in a Super Wal-Mart in Goodland, KS. Today I went shopping in Longmont and found 2x Alt Silverstreaks and 1 Hound (which I picked up) at Wal-Mart. I also spotted Offshoot and the blue recolored Strong Arm at Target. Not a sign of any new waves at Target, ShopKo, KMart, or Wal-Mart. Didn't check Khols, never crossed my mind. If I get time this week I'll stop in and scope out the place. It was nice to finally find the 2 new Alts though. May be slow in getting new stuff, but at least my wallet has time to recover! :) 

    I found nothing new in KS, OK, or MO when I was able to slip into the stores so CO ain't the only state running behind with Transformers!

    Congrats on finding a Hound; I'm still looking for one. (My brother found one last month... at least I did manage to get a 'Streak.) The only other toys I'm hoping to get this summer/fall are the other new Alternators (whenever they come out), Shockblast, Slugslinger, and Omega Supreme. My budget just can't stand much more than that! Oh well :p  I'll probably pick up an E-Galvatron whenever he comes out; I skipped Megs but this one looks too good to pass up. I usually don't buy repaints, I just buy one of a figure... unless the name is "Ultra Magnus," in which case I have this weird compulsion to buy every toy I see with that name on it. And I don't even understand why. :confused I'm not usually a completist.

    I won't be doing any more searching this week, probably, since my wallet is running thin and I don't get paid again 'till next Friday. But you never know. If I see anything, I'll post it here.

    The Target @ 120 & Washington has restocked, including E Strongarm and Offshoot, plus the other recent basics. No Tow-Line or Downshift, though.

    The K-mart @ 104 & Marion still has Alt. Hound and Silverstreak. No Crystal Widow/Oil Slick.

    I can tell you now, the Kohl's on Parker Rd. doesn't have anything (except for an Insecticon, a Prowl, and several Snowcats).

    The Walmart at Parker Rd. and Chambers Blvd. has TONS of E. Demolishors, plus several Rodimuses and Prowls. Also, a nifty stupid find... an Energon Super Optimus in a Universe King Atlas box (sans trailer, of course).

    Looking forward to finding Towline, Downshift, and E. Omega Supreme!

    Greeley still has shit. Haven't checked KMart though, and probably won't be able to, my work schedule and toy searching don't get along. Tomorrow morning perhaps.
