    Welcome back dude- haven't spotted Motormaster or the legends around here yet, I got Powerglide in Dedham back on New Year's Eve and Motormaster just arrived via the mail.

    Anyone looking for Brainstorm, definitely believe the reports and hit a TJ Maxx. Found him in a store in Cranston, RI.

    In case anyone hasn't been paying attention to the HTS thread in the toy section, all of Wave 2 is up, plus Leader class Megatron. There's also a coupon code for 20% off and free shipping: Family2015.

    I don't know about you guys, but in general, it's been much easier for me to wait for these things to come up on Hasbro Toy Shop than to waste gas driving around looking for them. As I posted earlier, I only just saw anything from Wave 1 in person on Saturday.

    Exactly! and thanks for the heads up! With the 20% off and the free shipping, it's a pretty good deal. $35.99 for Leader, $19.99 for Voyager, $13.59 for Deluxes. I doubt you'd find them all around town at a lower price. Sucks they're not due in for 3 more weeks, then another week for shipping, but at least I'll get them.

    The braintree Target had a couple RiD Warrior OP's and a one step Fixit; I had no interest in the line and left all three there.

    ....and everything is sold out. Any idea how long that code is good for?

    Finally saw Combiner Wars wave 1 at Target in Hadley. I was on the fence before I saw them in person. Now I am sure I will pass on most of them.

    Has anyone else noticed that the art on the cards is badly pixelated? Like when your aunt takes a 72 DPI JPG off of facebook and tries to blow it up at the copy shop? Does nobody in Hasbro's art department understand resolution?

    Thank you

    Found Blackjack x2, Huffer x3, Powerglide, and 2 full cases of Wave 1 Combiner Wars Deluxes at TRU Attleboro.

    Bought one Huffer for a fellow member. Already have Blackjack coming from HTS.

    Also had 3 POC Jungle Vipers for any Joe fans interested.

    CW is starting to hit in decent numbers. Found a Silverbolt and 3 Optimus Primes at a Rhode Island Walmart this morning.

    Anyone see this around?

    Imaginext® Skeleton Knight & Horse - Shop Imaginext Kids' Toys | Fisher-Price

    Been looking for one since last year. If you come across one or more, please makes sure the horse wings are not stressed/stress marked as that can be a problem with this toy since it is in an open packaging. This could be found anywhere that Imaginext are sold, but many folks have been finding them at places like target, Walmart, Kmart, toysrus and kohls.

    West Boylston WM had 1 each of CW Leader G1 Megs and Armada Megs as of 45 minutes ago. Job hunting after moving back, so couldn't buy em. Hopefully I'll see em again when I have money.
