    A fresh case of Leader Megatrons was in the back at the West Los Angeles/La Cienega TRU. There wasn't a spot for it on the shelves yet so an associate pulled the G1 Megs for me. The Armada one should still be in the stock room.

    Culver City TRU had nothing yet, but they told me they were expecting the truck with new Transformers tomorrow morning; their computer systems also showed 2 Transformer Leaders at the Torrence TRU, off Sepulvida if anyone around there is hunting.

    The item number they used to look these up is #232028. Good luck!

    They are just a bit shorter than MP10. Just a bit.

    None in Dublin as of Friday, however there are two Dragstrips and one of both the Superion Jets in Livermore's Walmart if you're willing to make the trip up there (as well as an Arcee). no sign of the voyagers though...

    (Murphy's law, bought Dragstrip online because I was afraid of missing it and then look at what happens)

    I'm desperate for TF's in the inland empire area, preferably Redlands or Beaumont, but I'm willing to as far as San Bernardino.

    So, I have not been on this thread for a while because of scalpers. I kind of want to know something, in southern California has the Goldfire wave been sighted recently?

    I haven't seen a Goldfire in quite some time - since well before Christmas I'd say.

    Saw an Armada Megs at the TRU on Topanga Canyon Blvd. No G1 though.

    I saw a lone CW Voyager Optimus Prime at Target in Costa Mesa on Saturday night. It was the first time I've seen CW Voyagers at a Target in Orange County. No deluxes though when I was there.

    Not sure if anyone else collects the Jakks Pacific World of Nintendo, but I found and picked up the 4" series 1-2 with Luigi, Toad, Diddy Kong, and Samus last week from the same Target. They still had a Luigi as of this past Saturday. SharkJumper found Diddy somewhere else too. Just a heads up if you're looking for these guys!

    EDIT: Has anyone ever seen the new Q Transformers at local shops and/or the Japanese markets? I'm looking for a local way to buy these as an alternative to buying online (assuming they cost about the same, e.g., $10 apiece). Any tips on where and how much they sell for would be appreciated!

    I haven't seen them, but I would check Frank and Sons if you can't find them at a hobby shop.

    3 out of 4 CW Wave 1 Deluxes at La Cienega Target (no Skydive), plus Windchargers and Thundercrackers.

    2 each of Silverbolt and Prime at Culver Target, plus Windchargers and Thundercrackers.

    2 Leader Megatrons at Culver TRU. I bought the IDW one but the Armada one was still on the shelf as of 2PM.

    SoCal Targets are finally getting in the game. Saw the first wave of CW deluxes at one (La Cienega? I dunno) on Saturday night , and saw the first wave of voyagers today at the Jefferson one.


    Didn't see this post beforehand, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the Armada one about 20 minutes ago.

    Hopefully they have a IDW one in the back still. Plan on heading there after work around 6.
