August was the last semi-official word.

 

Walmart in Rowlett had a set or so of the Wave 1 Titan Return deluxes and the wave 1 Titan Masters. Also a CW leader Starscream and 2 Skywarps

 

The Walmart in Round Rock had some of the Headmasters last night. I took the Blurr, Scourge, Hardhead, and Skullcruncher.
Left a Scourge, Blurr, and Rumble.
I noticed the shelves had been reset, so they may be out there now.

 

Went to TRU at 151/410 and they had a decent selection of Titan Returns deluxes and 2 Fort Max's. Two weeks ago they had a fresh case of Titan Masters but all gone now.

 

I was out of my neighborhood in the SA Brooks City-Base shopping area and finally hit a bit of pay-dirt.  

City-Base Walmart had several Deluxe Titans Returns figures. They had 2-3 each of Scourge, Blurr, HardHead, and SkullCruncher. I limited myself to three and left HardHead behind. They also had some wave 1 Titan Masters, and had Leader Skywarp. The Target across the street had no Deluxes and I didn't pay much attention to the RID stuff, sorry.

Then my brother sent me an e-mail that he was sending me a Sky Lynx, since I've had no luck hunting 'ol Space Birdy down at several Ross stores across San Antonio. That was a nice surprise for sure!

It's been a while since I've had any success hunting Deluxe or Voyager Transformers, and it feels good to not come back home empty handed!   Thank God for being at the right place at the right time!

Don't get discouraged my fellow TF Collectors. We all get a find of fresh toys every now & again. Good Hunting to All!

 

Fall starts in September so I'm going to put money on September when Brainy hits.

 

I found this from the Bleeding Cool interview with John Warden. It looks like Brainstorm is set to hit this month according to this image:



It also looks like the ToysRUs Exclusive RID Warrior Starscream won't be hitting US shelves until October according to the card in this photo:

 

Hmm interesting. I'm still sticking to Sept in Texas. Prove me wrong Texans!

 

MoPac & 183 ToysRUs is surprisingly well stocked right now! one Fortress Maximus, plenty of the new TR deluxes and I stashed a Galvatron behind the voyagers on the bottom for someone here to snag, happy hunting y'all!

 

Walmart on 249/Spring Cypress has TR Voyager Galvatron and Sentinel Prime (one of each).

 

I have a Fortress Maximus for sale, I just managed to buy the SDCC one and I am willing to sell mine. I have opened the box to check the figure but never took out the robot itself, still originally packed. I went crazy to find this but when I saw the SDCC online for sale I decided to go for that one. I went back to TRU to return mine but due to the "open box" they didn't take it back. I am selling it for 135$ as new, MIB. I am in Houston in Westheimer/Katy/Richmond area.

As a side note I raided every Walgreen reasonably around me and nothing so far....

 

I think you are absolutely right. Considering TR Leader wave 1 (Blaster and OP) are technically out now, we will be lucky to see them in stores by October due to the leftover CW Leader Skywarp and Starscream clogging shelves. It will probably take Walgreens a month or so to clearance out old Transformers stock to make room for Brainstorm.

 

As of last night, Lakeway Target had a set of TR Deluxes, Legends, and about 8 titan masters, at least one of each. They also had a Voyager Sentinel, but I took that.

 

Just Bought TRU Clash of the Transformers RID Starscream & Power Surge Optimus. The Purple Scorpion guy was at TRU as well but I didn't want him, and Prime was a impulse buy.

Location White Settlement TRU

Edit: The shelf had a lot of Starsream's; also does this count as a "News Credit"?

 

I would think so since they have yet to be sighted anywhere stateside and other then canada

I want a power surge optimus

 

TRU at 151/410 has 2 each of the TR Deluxes, one CW Motormaster and one CW Cyclonus. Target next door has a couple each Legends Wreck-Gar and Warpath, and one Legends Shockwave.

 

2 sets of TR wave 1 deluxes quite a few wave 2 titan masters from wave 2 and then 3 Galvatrons and 2 Sentinel Primes at Rowlett walmart

 

sweet! only a matter of time before that tru exclusive rid starscream hits the houston area.

 

No TR leaders, but saw this today at the local Waco TRU.

 

Found today in Irving, Texas
