I forgot to mention that gateway Target has a lot of items I saw no one mention yet: They have: carabinet set optimus Prime communicator Optimus and Bumblebee 2-in-1 Beamers computer TONS of RV Prime's - again - check the front of the isles. some wreckage's (front isle of some of the toy sections) LOADS of items in the $1 category. I DIDN"T see the gift card. Voyagers are sold out TRU had bikes, helmets, puzzles...
at TRU I got Risk, 4 small puzzles, Voyager Blackout and Ratchet, Prime Voice Changer and the remaining 3 legends I needed.
As long as you don't have to ask me what I got at Target this morning. My cart was so full, I piled things into the bottom section. The cashier couldn't believe her eyes. I left with 5 large Target bags filled! (I forgot to mention that Target at Gateway also had Optimus and Bumblebee fly paper)
So the big question is, who will let me stay by their place when my wife comes back from Israel and finds out how much I spent in one day?
we are getting a house now... and my wife told me to stop buying!!!!!!!!!!!!! Uh oh, I'm in DEEEEEP trouble. Right now my small bedroom is spilling out... I have a few hundred figures in their alone. A total fire hazzard.
NYers, please do me a favor. Please mention sightings for TF items that are NOT just action figures. Thank you!
I just stopped at Gateway Mall Target. I picked up my RV Prime but there were only 3 left. Wajo went a little earlier and said that there were tons so they are going fast. When I went to check out the cashier asked me “what is this, Transformers day?” She said that one person bought 6 RV Primes at once. So that explains the shortage, the scalpers are out! I also picked up the only wreckage I saw. I love target! Everyone should take advantage of the sale: deluxe figures for $7.99. I'm going to return the BB I brought a few weeks ago. I didn’t see Ironhide or Blackout but I’ll try to check out Atlantic Ave Target tomorrow. No Leader Class Figures or Voyager figure except for RV Prime at Gateway.
Amazing... You know, one time we should have hang out in one of the stores and wait for a scalper... than bop him over the head!!! Or take pics of him and post it all over the internet... hehehehehhehe - (evil thoughts going through my head).
I got back a lil after 1 PM today from day 2 of TFTM Toy hunting at the stores in Carle Place/Westbury. Yesterday-TRU just had proto's and FAB's which was a huge disappointment. The guy in the AF section said the rest are coming but he doesent know when if I remember correctly they usually get trucks in Thursday mornings. Target had Leader Primes, Prime Helmets, Scouts, a couple of Robot Heroes, but no Deluxes or Voyagers at all. I heard WM had display and shelf room but no TFs as of Yesterday. Today-the KB in one of the shopping centers near Island Garden Basketball on Cherry Valley and Hempestead Turnpike I believe it is had a decent selection: 1 Leader Prime and 1 Leader Megs (probably more in the back) which my lil bro wanted but it's not worth the $50 price tag, about 4 or 5 of Blackout and Ratchet each, FABs, and all of the deluxes($13) except Bonecrusher which the lil guy was also mad about heheh. They also had lots of Wave 1 Robot Heroes and Ratchets and Blackouts. After this I decided to go to KB in the Source Mall. Surprisingly not a single deluxe there unless you count the proto's, again all of Wave 1 Robot Heroes, a couple Leader Primes, FABs, they had a bunch of Ratchets, I think 4 Ironhides and maybe 4 Blackouts, only 1 Starscream there as of 1 PM. Voyager's were $25 at both KBs. I ended up buyin Starscream which I was really happy to find and I got Blackout for my lil bro, together it was around $55 which is worth it because stock in stores around my area are lookin slim. Starscream is huge for a Voyager and real nice in person, Blackout looks badass but needs to be bigger like he is in the movie. I plan on buyin Jazz and Bonecrusher together when i can find him. Happy Hunting New Yorkers!
Now you know Wajo bought a truck load, he has (or is it had) a very understanding wife. How about a pic of your haul?
my wife took the camera with her to Israel,... I'll try to take some pics tomorrow night when she gets back.
Bah! I havent even begun to dig into the TF movie figs yet. Too much I need to buy (a new sound card, plus im going away to Boston Mass. this week to Six Flags) but today I went to Target at Atlantic and CHRIST! The lines were longer than slavery!! I saw 3x Bonecrusher, 3x Barricade and 1x Demolisher. They had that computer dealy, like 4 Optimus Prime Helmets, the communicator, keychains, the works. I cant really name all the TF movie products so please forgive me. I have Barricade and Bonecrusher in my hands but the line was too long so I opted to hide them for tomorrow morning when they arent soo many folks there. *cries*
I stopped by TRU TS today, they were chock full o' FABs. I spotted Starscream, Jazz, Barricade, Prime and Brawl. Tons of Proto Prime and Starscream still clogging the pegs. Spotted Voyager Prime, they were all grabbed up about ten minutes after I spotted them (the best part of this outing was hearing a Mom practically scream "He's $42?!" and still laid out the cash to make her son happy). Spotted Blackout and Ratchet (I picked up Blackout out of morbid curiosity). The shelf was half-full when I first spotted them, but only three Ratchets remained when I got on line. Saw tons of the Real Gear bots, Longview, Powered Up VT6, and Speed Dial 800. Sadly none of the Classics have been discounted yet, but hopefully they will be soon.
Normal Voyager Prime was released already? If so, TS TRU marked it up from $19.99 to $42? Are you sure it wasn’t Leader Class Prime? $39.99 to $42 seems more likely! Don’t get me wrong, I would love a sighting of the normal voyager prime but I would hate it if TRU is charging $42.
