    New FoC wave at HTS.com

    I saw all of the new Deluxe class Fall of Cybertron figures are up on hasbrotoyshop.com (Ultra Magnus, Air Raid, Kickback, Sideswipe, Starscream) but they're all listed as sold out currently. I must have just missed them, because I check pretty regularly. Either that, or these are placeholders and they're about to be stocked soon. Anyway, figured it was worth a post in case any of you guys order from hasbrotoyshop.com. They're listed under "New to Hasbro Toy Shop" link, but you can also find them by simply searching for "Fall of Cybertron." That brings up the Bruticus figures as well, which are all still in stock.

    Well, I'm not sure about Clive, but the south side TRU store said they had four FE Prime Voyagers in stock when I called yesterday afternoon, but when I arrived at the store, the employees could not locate them. This happened when I inquired about some GDO Deluxes a while back. System showed 8, I drove down, they couldn't find any of them.

    Has anybody else had absolutely horrible experiences with TRU? It seems like their employees aren't very knowledgeable. Either that, or their inventory system is so screwed up that they never really know what's in stock at any given time unless they physically go look.

    I was able to get all four of the Deluxe class FE Primes yesterday (still on their Buy One Get One 50% Off deal). I hope their truck tomorrow has a few FE Voyagers on it, but I'm a little worried, considering their system shows they still have four in stock.

    No FE Prime Voyagers at the Des Moines TRU. Also, the Clive TRU was out of them yesterday. Both had several of the FE deluxes and some GDO voyagers, deluxes and scouts.

    The Clive TRU finally had new Generations Combaticons. I grabed the last Brawl and Vortex. It was mad crazy there so I didn't ask if they were going to restock but cross your fingers.

    All five are also still available and in stock at hasbrotoyshop.com. Just search for "fall of cybertron" and the Combaticons are the first five that show up in the search results. They're $14.99 each. FYI.

    The Davenport Walmart on Elmore had a full set of FoC Combaticons today at noon.

    The Davenport TRU has a full set (somewhat scattered around the aisle) of FoC Combaticons yesterday around 4pm.

    Found a single FOC Voyager Soundwave at the Clive TRU. They also had a full set of the FOC Bruticus figures, even at BOGO 40% off, they are still expensive to me for the poor quality. Still haven't seen any FE voyagers.

    I was trying hard to resist going to any stores today but ended up having to exchange a gift for one of my nephews so I ended up at the TRU in Davenport. There were about 6x FOC Soundwaves and at least 1x Soundblaster along with almost 3 full pegs worth of assorted data-disc-cons. No Beast Hunters and no new Kre-O microchangers.

    Picked up FoC Soundwave, FoC Soundblaster, both of the cassette two-packs, GDO Powerdive and GDO Hot Spot at the South Side Des Moines TRU yesterday.

    They still had four or five Soundwaves, a bunch of cassette two-packs and one Soundblaster (in the overhead bin) left. There were a bunch of GDO Megatrons, but no more Hot Spots or Powerdives.

    Beast Hunters has arrived at both Toys'R'Us stores in the QC area. Also saw FOC wave 3 deluxes at both places and I think both stores currently had a voyager Soundblaster. Davenport definitely did.
