California Transformers Sightings

Took a little trip outside of my neighborhood

TRU La Mirada : They have a bunch of Voyager Megs and Mixmaster. No Jetfire.
Walmart Anaheim : Lost of Ramjet and Skywarp. No Jetfire.
Walmart Buena Park: A very well stocked TF section. Pretty much all voyagers that are out right now. Only wave 1 and 2 of deluxes. bunch of skywarp and ramjet. No Jetfire.
Target Norwalk: Endcap full of Superion. 3 Mudflap (trax plate). No Jetfire.
Walmart Norwalk : the new Wave 3 deluxes, a few Fallen Voyagers, Straosphere, and Leader OP and Megs. No Jetfire.

So it was pretty much a bust in the search for Jetfire and HA BB. Sucks.

Hey guys, so I think it would be a good idea to check WM to find a jetfire. I have friends that work at different targets and TRU and they are nice enough to open all leader boxes in the back to look for a jetfire. Out of all boxes they opened (around 10) none had jetfires. But I was able to find one at a WM. From what people have posted it seems like everyone has found them there. Is it possible that it may be a WM exclusive? Anyways just wanted to help out those still trying to find it. Good luck!

Impossible. His shipping box will be marked as "Leader W2" or something like that. Don't bother opening Wave1 boxes as they will only contain an Optimus and a Megs. From what I hear, Targets seem to have more Jetfires right now, but I know of a Walmart that had no less than 6 as of Thursay evening 7/02. At $44.88 plus tax, they may survive the weekend.

Checked out this morning 7/04:
Puente Hills TRU, Puente Hills Target, Industry Walmart:
All had pretty much the same stock...plenty of all wave ROTF Deluxes and Voyagers...Plenty of ROTF Leader Prime & Megs...But still had no luck in finding Leader Jetfire...Where is this guy!!!???...I'm beginning to think I'll never find 'em!

Thanks to Knaranek and his heads up about Santa Maria Walmart having the dark varient of Breakaway. I picked up three: 1 for myself plus two more for any board members that would like them. Otherwise nothing new, just same old stock without Jetfires.

SM Target: also nothing special considering the place was pretty picked clean.

SM TRU: It's funny, they had a bunch of Wave 1 + 2 Voyagers on the shelf and a box half open with new Wave 3 voyagers on the ground, but the guy working there decides to take the Wave 3 into the back rather than put them out

. Otherwise barely any Deluxes (all wave 1), no Jetfires. They did have the new RPMs (which are silly) and RPM Battle Chargers (Read: Bumper battlers with flip out hands) two ultimate Bumblebees and a lot of old Animated figures.

Well the Burbank TRU has or had HA Bumblebee, there were two when i left, the itm number for them is: 580409

go to any TRU and tell them you want the item w/ that number and theyll get it for you. and they are $34.99 at TRU

i also saw scalpal (the docter), a red, blue scout motorcycle, mudflaps (the ones that saw "Trax") and ravages

I was at the Burbank TRU this afternoon and picked up one of the HABB's. Someone else picked up the other one while I was there (are you on here?). Anyway, I too will add my praise to this awesome figure, who is fantastic with or without Sam.

To anyone else who has HABB, are you having trouble like I am with getting his chest to stay in place in robot mode?

well, you just got to make a notch in the middle of the gray piece that is attached to the chest pieces on the inside, the part that turns. i got this from one of peaughs videos on HABB along w/ a nice leg mod he got from someone else and a double hand one if your interested.

Ya i was there, i left around 4 or so. When were you there, cause i passed by them at one point and they were gone.
