I checked the Transit Rd Toys R Us, Target, and both Walmarts last Friday and found nothing new. Most were out of Generations Deluxes altogether, and a few had the newest Rodimus/Skywarp Legends wave. The stores had quite limited shelf space for Transformers compared to the usual amount. Though TMNT was given 3/4 of an entire aisle. Also the Toys R Us on Niagara Falls Blvd and the one in Hamburg had nothing either. Mainly RID15 toys, a few Devastators, MP Bluestreaks, and recent Legends her and there.
Was about to do a Time Square TRU update, but I was shocked that the entire back wall that was once devoted to Transformers is now gone. (Marvel and The Avengers now occupy that spot). Even the Prime statue isn't there anymore! Turns out that the Transformers section has been moved to another part of the store and is now just a mere fraction of its former size.
So can I assume there's been no Capital Region magnus sightings yet? What a shame, I've been waiting for that guy forever. Didn't think I'd see Wave 4 before he came in.
Transit are Target had 2 sets of the wave 4 Combiner Wars Deluxes. I grabbed Prowl and Mirage, so 2 Ironhides, 2 Sunstreakers, a Mirage, and a Prowl left. Also 1 Silverbolt and 2 Warpaths. (2:30 pm EST)
not really TF but any of the rochester people on here doing the midnight force friday thing? where are people going
Walmart has been advertising it too on those grey display things It says new toys available at 12:01 am on Friday
Cool. Hadn't seen those. I'll be at Walmart at midnight then. Although with Target's coupons, I might not buy anything at Walmart but I do want to go take a look at what is available.
Anybody know when the Henrietta TRU gets trucks with new stock in? I drive past TRU every day on my way to classes so I figuring can't hurt to stop by around opening time on stock days now that Masterpiece Starscream is in the wild. I actually visited today and asked about Screamer (without having read that he was released) and was told there were some at the distribution center but they have no idea when they'll arrive at the store.
Don't they have that little chalkboard at the entrance showing what's new? I may go tomorrow, will ask for you
I believe the only real difference between this one and the original Takara release is that the paint scheme is a bit brighter. Not too sure though.
Wow, for the first time I had a hard time locating TF in TS TRU! They're no longer at the spotlight rear wall in the usual location. Instead they move them at the corner in the Helix Bugs location where you have to walk up the ramp by the giant dinosaur. Hm, I still don't see any new TFs, and they're fewer than before.
I just called the TRU express in Crossgates, the lady said they do not have any Starscream yet, but they are on order at the DC. She said no other capital area stores have them yet either. No wasting gas today.
Target Place on Queens Blvd. as of 9/5: CW legends Skywarp, Groove, Bombshell. CW voyagers Cyclonus and Hot Spot (2 each); deluxe Sunstreaker. RID Jazz, Strongarm, Sideswipe and Bumblebee were spotted as well.
Took a 2 week vacation to Disney & Universal, only to come home and find the same old, same old on the pegs! Hasbro Toy Shop can't stock Wave 4 CW Deluxes soon enough for me!
