    So close yet so far...I'm going to check at least one local TRU later and I'll report back what I see, hopefully the Woburn TRU isn't isolated in having Cybertron.

    Edit - Okay, checked the TRU in Swansea and the one in Dartmouth. Swansea had all the deluxes and Megas (don't know what their new name is). Dartmouth had the same plus the Ultras (again, don't know the new name) and Optimus (no Megatron :cry  ). I might have grabbed the last Crumplezone in Dartmouth, not sure about that.

    Woburn TRU alright. 5 Vector Primes, 5 Crumplezone, 5 Scourge, 5 Jetfire, 1 Optimus Prime, 1 Megatron, and 3 or 4 of the deluxes. No Suprmes or Basics though.

    Lucky - the North Attleboro TRU only had Scourge and Jetfie, neither of which I have any interest in.

    And oddly enough, TRU Peabody had diddly squat. Not even unopened cases in the overhead space. I'll check again on Friday.

    As of 8:00 the Megatron at the Woburn TRU is gone, I unfortunately did not get him. Surprisingly, all 5 scourges where gone, too.

    TRU north attleboro has none on wednesday when I was there.

    TRU Dedham has Megatron/Optimus, Vector Prime, Scoure, Crumplezone.

    I also found two alternator Grimlocks there, so check your TRU's some old alt assortments may be shipping.

    I just meant that you were having better luck than I was: 5 stores checked with no figures that I was interested in at any.

    I'll just have to learn patience - - hope that doesn't take too long to do.

    Phew - don't have to worry about learning anything. Went back to TRU in North Attleboro and they had put out both Voyager and Deluxe class figures.

    TRU Peabody still has not put Cybertron out. I friggin hate them.

    So I drove to Woburn to see what was left. Picked up Landmine and Dirt Boss, and all that's left of like an hour ago are one each of Hot Shot, Landmine, Dirt Boss, Vector Prime, Crumplezone, and Jetfire.

    Well, the TRU in Swansea has at least one of each of the deluxes and 3 Crumplezones. Also, the TRU in Warwick, RI had absolutely nothing as of Friday.

    At 8 pm on the 27th, the Woburn TRU was totally bereft of Cybertron, but has a Swindle and a Grimlock!

    There where two Grimlocks, but I got one:D  This TRU is the only place I've ever seen a Grimlock.

    Framingham TRU has Cybertron wave one besides Optimus Prime. I got the last one...No Starscream.
    I picked up a few figs. Hotshot is great, btw. Only 1 of him left as of 3:00 6/29

    The Peabody TRU finally got Cybertron at some point over the past few days. Picked up the only Prime and a Ransack. One Megatron, tons of basics, megas, and ultras left, but onley one or two deluxes.

    i have seen two grimlocks at both a target and a TRU lately, seen swerve with them. I think a weird case assortment is circulating.

    I am still waiting to find a Ransack or supreme starscream. I am not getting much from the Cybertron line, gonna go mostly with takara on this one, and not get much of that.

    Anyone see any massively reduced in price silverstreaks or smokescreens from the G1 re-issues. I want to track those two down.

    I picked up Alternator Swerve at North Attleboro Target today (they only had the one, sorry... he was surrounded by about three or four Swindles, no Grimlocks, though...)

    TRU over there had Cybertron Ops and Megs (so it looks like they have all Cybertron except for the Scout/Basics and Starscream.)

    The Peabody TRU:

    i got the last hot shot today.

    there are a bunch of vector primes and crumple zones left, and quite a few basics...mostly back pack...or whatever he's called in the states.

    The G1 reissues are all in the clearance section now, from 6.98-9.98 or so.

    almost got the last prowl...but then decided against it, since i already have him misb.

    TRU in Attleboro had the first wave of Cybertron except for Optimus, Megatron, and Starscream. I was happy though as I was finally able to pick up the Scouts :D  .
