    The AF Target has a few Leader class Optimus Primes, not repaints, if anybody was jonesin for one. I know before Christmas people sure were whining for one.

    And the AF Wallys is chock full of all deluxes and FAB's, Robot Heroes, Cyber Slammers, Leaders (Megs, Brawl & Nightwatch Prime) and a few voyagers (Ratchet, Starscream, Offroad Ironhide)
    But no Allspark deluxes...:mad

    Stopped by TRU in Layton and they had absolutely NADA. I have never seen that few Transformers since the movie came out. Target in Layton had some movie deluxes but nothing new. I will stop by Walmart today to see if they have the new stuff.

    OK, Walmart in Syrucuse had 4 Nightwatch Optimus Primes, one regular Leader Prime, Leader Megs and Brawl (not deep desert), one offroad ironhide, and a bunch or deluxes but no new ones. The only Allspark figures I am interested in are Cliffjumper and maybe Incinerator. I do want to pick up some more of the metallic repaints when they become available.

    Orem TRU has all old waves of dlx, ldr and robot heroes, but no allspark stuff yet. the manager says that this is all they could get for now, but they are wanting new stuff too, as he wants some for himself!

    okay maybe no ones lookin, but Kings has four different Beast Wars figures!? A rat, a dinobot, a bug, and something else. They didn't have 'em two months ago. They must've found em somewhere lost in their inventory! :D

    looked like honest to goodness TF brand beast wars! This was there...

    [​IMG]

    Note the "10th anniversary" and "DVD included"! Check out the weird chest protrusions... ugh, is that what they call kibble?

    I guess Kings is a logan only, or maybe cache valley only, there's one in Preston.

    sometimes I wish I had a camera on my cell phone! oh well.... why????? you looking for BW?

    THe Target at the District had some of the Leader Primes as well as Thundercracker.

    For those into Star Wars stuff, Toys R Us has a semi-reissue of the Jedi Starfighter from Ep II with a hyperdrive ring. I'm a sucker for that ring, as I have the SWTF Sassae Tiin (which I think is the best mold out of all the SWTF's), the three different colors of fighters from the Titanium line, and the Lego EpIII fighter with the ring.

    yep, theys the real deal. I don't have but the rattrap mold of that line, but he's alright. as for the chest protrusions, yep, that would be kibble.

    if you can, get some pics of the rest, or at least the actual names of the rest of the selection please.

    I just went back and looked at the pics you posted of your office, and yeah, you really do have quite the SW ring fighter collection don't ya!
    I have the Sassae Tiin TF myself, and his is one of the better bot/alt mode molds of the line. The EpIII fighter bot mode sucks, wish it came with a ring, cuz it looks pretty heavy duty compared to the EpII version. But at least they did make it once!

    I've never been hastled, I don't use a regular camera, but my cell phone is a Treo smart phone, which is quite bigger than my old Razr. sometimes wierd looks from other shoppers, but never even a word from staff, and I'm always snapping pics and texting them to my brothers to see if they want me to get them a TF that they don't know what it looks like. So go ahead.

    Display Case Pics

    OK, here are of few pics of my movie Transformers in the new display case from IKEA. Now I just threw them in to take a few pics. The lighting is poor I know. This is far from what my final configuration will be. Here is the case:

    Top Shelf with Autobots and some legends in the background:

    Next Shelf of Cons & Sam's 3 pack in back:

    BB and some exclusives:

    Prime & Megatron Leaders & Voyagers MISB:
    [​IMG]
    Big guys and BB vs. Barricade. Primus is behind Optimus and can't really be seen in this pic:
    [​IMG]

    I will probably take out some of the boxed figures and put in my G1 figures and I will take some new pics. Enjoy!

    I have the Rattrap one, and the dvd is only one episode, so 22 minutes or so. He's an ok figure, but a huge backpack. I wouldn't get them for the dvd, but they do come with parts for the Trans-mutate character, and the only way to get him is to buy them all. As for the dvd, you can go watch them on youtube for free. Tough call as I never owned any of the original run of the BW toys, my younger brother did, so the one I have doesn't tell me how the rest are quality/playability wise.

    Nice case. I like the glass front. I also like the MISB stuff you got there. I noticed you got two of the best buy Megatrons, sweet. I'm guessing you like the movie line of toys eh? I do, they are pretty good so far. If you've got that much stuff just from the movie line, you oughtta do a collection thread, would be neat to see it all.

    also on the hunt front: nothing new at the Orem TRU, Targets in Orem or AF, and the AF Wallys is a bust. but the shelves are getting thin again, so hopefully that means that we'll soon see some Allspark Power stuff coming in. *crosses fingers*
