    Nothing new at Christiana TRU as of Wed, plenty of Universe 2.0 Prowls and Sunstreakers, only one Octane/Tankor. Still some leaders, plenty of Grimlocks as well. Activators and the like, but no Wave 3 yet.

    Target on 202 seemed to be finally starting their toy section reset today. Expect the new TFs out in the next couple of days, at least that's what the lady said... She also noted that they had 4 pallets of toys in the back to unpack. Why this is good marketing strategy on Target's part, to let stock sit, I don't know.

    Christiana TRU has tons of wave 3 deluxes, several Prowl and Sunstreaker Universes, 1 Powerglide, 2 Silverbolts, a few of the voyager Universe repaints (like Blaster) and a few Galvatrons. Also leaders and Roll Out Prime. Got Galvatron and Powerglide.

    I am officially sick of not seeing Wave 4 or Blitzwing show up at TRU or Walmart or Target. So I ordered them from Hasbro. Yay internet.

    I'll do what I can... I didn't order Ultra Magnus, so I'll still drive around here and there and keep an eye out for him.

    Christiana TRU has had the Titanium War Within Prowl's and Grimlock's for a bit now. They're both pretty cool in my opinion. Nice to have new Titaniums.

    The Animated Deluxe pegs have been empty at the 202 target for some time. I asked an employee and she stated that the gray circles on the price tags indicated that the stock people had been keeping up on checking for stock... so either they suck, or Target has gotten no deluxes for a few weeks.

    I got my Blitzwing, Sentinel Prime, and Swoop in the mail today... 3 weeks of searching or 3 days of waiting... I think I'll use Hasbro toyshop more often. Still, I like the hunt... nothing like the rush of finding that one you've been looking for.

    Called TRU today... no Ultra Magnus. The guy I spoke to said they'd have a truck in later this week, and five trucks next week, so check back. Here's hoping.

    I stopped by TRU at Christiana today, nothing new... Then I went by Wal-Mart at the 13/40 split. I hate that place, I really do, and I hate to give them my money... but they had stuff. I bought the only Ironhide, which was stowed on top of a shelf... I could barely reach it, and I'm over 6 feet tall. They had at least three Sideswipes and Silverstreaks left (got one of each as well). They had two Elite Guard Bumblebees, 1 Sentinel Prime, 1 Swoop, several Grimlocks and Voyager Optimus Primes. Acid Storms and Galvatrons galore, at least a few Wal-Mart exclusive movie Deluxes. No Ultra Magnus sadly, no Blitzwing. The Classics were only $7.77, which was pretty impressive.

    The Kohl's in Middletown had three sentinel primes and a couple of Elite Guard Bumblebee's, no swoops. Target on 202 finally put out some Animated Deluxes, but nothing special that I saw. Still haven't seen the newest Universe stuff outside of walmart, and I haven't found Animated Ultra Magnus yet.

    Had luck at Target today, found Ultra Magnus. There was only one, but that means that he's being stocked I suppose, so keep an eye out there. Still nothing new at TRU at Christiana, though there is tons of not-new stuff. Bunches of Wave 1 Universe 2.0s and Animated Wave 3 Deluxes. I wonder why it takes a dedicated toy store so long to catch up with places like Target and Wal-Mart? Ah well, look for Magnus in Target on 202. Oh, they also had one of the repaint of Powerglide, Darkstorm or somesuch.

    I saw him at the wal-mart on Rt. 40, near the New Castle airport... that was a couple of weeks ago. Haven't seen him at TRU in Christiana or at Target on 202. I got mine through the Hasbro online store.

    Saw one Animated Ultra Magnus at the Target on 202 near the PA border. That was at about 6 pm. Good luck!
