    Try to swing by in the afternoon! We have officially hit Transformers (and Hot Toys!) critical mass as of this evening, and have to replan our displays to get all our Transformers stock out on the floor. We have a sickening amount of back stock, so if you come by when I'm there, I can help you find anything you're after.

    Unfortunately, our deliveries came in while I was off and the only new CW stuff we received this go-around was the new Legends, and a single Hot Spot, silver Megatron and Magnus that are being sold on consignment. We are still waiting for our Deluxes and direct sales stock. In the meantime, we have every CHUG known to man, probably every WST ever made, an army of custom Alternators, every Alternity except Banzaitron (naturally, the one I want!) and a ton of G1. Nearly everything has its box, even if we couldn't get it in the case. We also have a huge selection of 3P stuff, including Quantron and a fully-reprolabelled Hercules with both upgrade kits.

    We also have the SDCC Metroplex, complete with his special tote bag from the con. It's like, toddler-sized.

    We are also taking in collections of any kind. We are a big store and we are trying to fill our space as quickly as possible, before they make me build more scenic art :p  We can't do much in the way of cash trades until September due to our newness, so we are offering a good deal on store credit in the meantime. Great way to snag anything in the store that isn't green-tagged (consignment stuff) We have a special interest in getting in more vintage, Marvel Legends, and especially more anime merch, as we're all old and clueless and we all stopped watching the stuff somewhere around Dragonball Z. Just... no Beanie Babies, okay? I turn away like, three old ladies a day trying to sell 5gal tubs full of the things..

    I was able to order Devastator online from ToysRus for in store pickup in St. Pete early this morning and just picked it up. Must have been the only one. I didn't see any on the shelf and they are showing unavailable for pickup online now.

    TRU has a $10 upcharge though but i guess it's worth it to get it early. I want to support TRU but I still can't believe they sell deluxes for $19.99 when i can got to walmart and target and pay $14.99.

    Thursday PM (07/09), picked up a CW Legends Rodimus and Skywarp at Suoer Target in Viera. They had one of each left and several Groove and Warpath.

    Also I got a Devastatir from Entertainment Earth on Monday. When I ordered, I thought it was for August, but it shipped the next day. Nice surprise. Not put together yet, but it's going to be a monster.

    Waiting on MP Bluestreak to ship from TRU. I thought $59.99 wasn't terrible. Wasn't Prowl around $70?

    Still looking for Ultra Magnus and Hot Spot.

    Has anyone actually seen the big bastard on shelves? I feel like hunting him down before resorting to getting him online.

    Hi guys. I got a Devastator from Toys R Us and my wife bought me one, so I will be returning the Toys R Us one. If you are in Brandon FL I would be more than happy to sell it to you for the same price I got it ($175). Box was open for inspection only but they havent been removed from the box. I also have the recepit.

    Got mine today at millenia TRU. Just look online and search for stores in area. There has been three TRU's that have had it in last two days but they aren't putting on shelves. You have to pre purchase online and pick up. Odd I know but keep looking.

    Went to Gods and Monsters earlier on Wednesday after seeing it here. The third party stuff was cool to see, but everything else used TF wise was pretty overpriced. But it's in a tourist area so I don't know what I expected.

    Toys R Us in Miami , International mall got 4 Devestators today. Bought all four cause i was sure i liked him THAT much! Turns out I dont. I forgot im part of the Third Party Master Race. Oh well.

    Edit: okay no that was a joke to piss off the scalpers that have been asking for it all week. Looks like only two actually came in. Hopefully the other two show up in the next truck, I will update on that. The overnight stocking crew does not work Sundays....news to me...I apologize to anyone who I told theyd be up on the shelve monday morning. Looks like Night crew will only work Mon-Friday now (seriously I had no idea, new policy I guess). Tuesday morning the International Mall store, Hialeah and Deadeland should have them out on shelves according to our in store inventory report. Happy hunting you guys.
