    I went to the Tylersville Rd. Target and the Tri-County Target this morning and all they had were the stupid protoforms. Went to the Wal-Mart on Cincinnati-Dayton Rd. to see if the Devastators were on clearance and they weren't. The classic mini-cons were marked down to $4 though.

    Sucky day as far as the Transformer hunt goes.

    I might go to The Earth today to see if Kightshadow sold any Transformers The Movie figures. Ha Ha!

    Edit: I did go to The Earth today - no movie figures there (not expecting any though).

    I also went to the Target in Oakley/Norwood. They just put out more Protoforms - that's all they have.

    I caved and ordered Bumblebee and Bonecrusher from Amazon.com. Free shipping, no sales tax, and me not wasting gas driving all over Cincinnati to find these figures was worth it.

    I won't be heading out on the hunt again until June 2nd when I will be looking for Robo-Vision Prime from Target.

    If anyone is still looking for Classics Devastator, I found over twenty of them at the Beavercreek Wal-Mart. They hate marking things down there so they were still full price, all I saw on clearance were the Prime VS Megatron 2-pack with bonus Mini-Cons. They also had an Alt Rumble buried behind some Skids.

    Haven't seen anything but Protoforms as far as movie stuff anywhere in the area, but I haven't been out hunting much lately either.

    Has anyone been to the Meijers or Target off the Fields-Ertl exit lately? I was thinking about heading over there during lunch, wondering if its worth it...

    And another is heard from :lol 

    2 weeks ago I found a lone screamer because Wally's had JUST put out a case of wave 1. I THINK it was the Springdale one - I'll have to check the receipts. Anyway, it doesn't look good since everybody and his uncle is either doing customs or hoarding for botcon - I'll try to bring some screamers back. Anyone else in the Cincy area going?

    From the posts I've seen here, that exit doesn't get much love, so I'd say it's worth checking. Watch out for the crazy street layout though :sly:

    Anyone checked the super Walmart in Forest Park?

    Also, If anyone finds a Classic Starscream either let me know or pick it up and I'll meet up with you...

    ok....nothing along the way to work....proto's whatever no one had a thing......my K-Mart is a shit hole....nuff said about that.

    As for finally getting my BB and Jazz in hand......all I have to say is that I think I came a lil....LOL

    SEXY!!! They just kick ass!!!

    I'm hoping to find some things this weekend...if not...the money will be pooled with the rest of the money on the 2nd. Either way....I may be able to wait 2 weeks.....it will be very hard.....but I may be able to do it....lol



    Who all got BB so far??? And if you do chime in on this post.....are you all having the same problemns that I am transforming him back and getting the front half of his car to stick??? He keeps automorphing on me.

    I don't trust that inside source - they should have had movie figure cases at LEAST a month ago.

    Checked my FP Wally 2 days ago - nothing special unless you count the hordes of Alt Ravages and Rumbles.

    *gets territorial* :lol 

    Yeah, Classics Screamer's at a premium right now, but I do look for him every time I go out. Hockeygamer and I checked the ... uh... Kettering? K-Mart, Target and Wally's off 675 Saturday. Nada there either.

    (The guy at K-Mart I asked about a toys "clearance shelf" said "well, we really don't have one".... I realized afterward I was standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT. So much for knowledgeable staff, or observant transfans :lol )

    I went to the Meijers and Super WalMart off the Fields Ertl exit this morning. Nothing movie related at either. Very poor TF selection in general.

    They did have Robot Heroes at the WalMart. First time I've seen these.

    Movie TF's Wave 1 (Jazz, Barricade, Bumblebee, etc.) at Target on Sawmill Road. Looked at other local places, but this was the only retailer that has them.

    Still no movie stuff newer than protoforms up here. An update on the Huber Wal-Mart has them at 6 Rumble, 8 Ravage and 23 Devastators.

    fyi, 675 exit 7 is Sugarcreek, since I suspect that to be the Wal-Mart and Target you're referring to.

    Got an update from a buddy of mine at my former employer. He quoted..."A SHIT LOAD" of movie stuff is coming off the truck. If TRU is gettng a ton of shit as he says.....I think I may wait until the 2nd. I'm now off that day and I'll enjoy hitting it up. I'm going after at least Ironhide, Ratchet and Prime that day.....at least I'll have all the autobots. Also.....if it isn't part of the movie....I'm not buying it....all this new scout crap.....BAH! Target exclusives.....keep em....I ain't buying it. I like the pic of the newer Arcee better then the small blue scout...

    Ah! Thanks for that :) 

    Going out this morning if I can keep other things from interfering. Planning to hit Tri-County, Ridge Rd, Kenwood, and possibly Colerain areas. Knight, you going by the Earth today?
