they're already popping up in some other states..... and everyone wants that new bumblebee. gotta try to start hitting up the stores again so i can get one before they all disappear.
saw ops and megs ww 2-pack at kiln creek toys r us. Also hot topic has some cool shirts and pins too.
The new wave of Transformers has hit the Targets in Fairfax, VA. I went to go check the Target closest to me in "the off chance" that they have an '08 Bumblebee. I check and all I see is old stuff...and then I see dreadwing, which means someone already picked up Bumblebee. Without thinking I swore very loudly and got lots of dirty looks from parents.
Still haven'tfound the new wave of deluxes, but the Target on Forest Hill in Richmond. VA had FAB Megatron, Blackout and Frenzy if anyone's looking.
OMG. The invasion has..........begun. I've found ZILCH regarding the Bumblebee anywhere. 5 reissue Soundwaves were at the Military TRU yesterday. Also, the WW tits 2-pack was there as well, in mass quantities. I passed, as I'm done with those figures.
It is time to bring the Virginia/DC/Maryland Sightings thread up to compete with the California and New York Sightings threads. This I declare!
notice someone posted about joes, I found the new 5 pack anniversary joes at toys r us. Really sweet!
Since we are on that topic, was Sigma 6 cancelled on tv? I had to ask because I keep on wanting to go to Hisstank since I'm a member on there too and I forget about it. I was actually starting to get into Joes again, might even when the movie comes out too. Anywho, I was at the Sandbridge/Red mill Wally yesterday before I went itno work, guess what? They were cleaned out of the deluxe figures, Nothing what so ever on the pegs. They did have the little Titanium figures of Prime, BB and Blackout through. They also took away the second pallet as well. So I just thought I would give a heads up. I havent gotten a chance to collect anything lately. I'm working on getting 2 Maxiums of Megan Fox, since they have the posters of Bumblebee on one side and all 4 Autobots on the other side.
I don't know about Sigma 6, but I'm definitely interested in the new 3.75" 25th Joes. Anybody see them on the southside of the bridge yet?
Target Alexandria Skyline: absolutely jack. TRU Alexandria Skyine: TRU Kingstowne: Titanium OP/Megs two packs and Unleashed OP. Target Seven Corners: absolutely jack. Wal*Mart Franconia: two Arcees and two Dreadwings. Someone made off with ALL FOUR Bumblebees. TRU Kingstowne: Titanium OP/Megs two packs and Unleashed OP. Target Herndon: all the new FABs. Picked up a Frenzy. They had one FAB Bumblebee left.
Save your gas, people in the Roanoke area. The local stores don't have crap. Valley View Target and Wal-Mart don't have a thing - unless Swindle, Bonecrusher, and Wreckage are all you're looking for. Everywhere is picked over completely, and Target had a huge gaping hole where leader class figures have sold out. Last weekend Target did get new deluxes, indicated by the Arcees on the shelf, but someone cherry picked the new Bumblebees (I would have snagged one myself, so I don't blame you!). Toys R Us here is an enormous waste of time, yet I keep convincing myself that "maybe this time will be different" (it never is). Never saw the 2 pack WW Titaniums, and I've never seen a G1 Soundwave. I did, however, buy the Gamer Graffix PS2 skin of Prime ($9.99), though I think I'm going to return it, as I'm still indecisive. K-Mart on Hershberger had the Wave 1 Robot Replicas. Bumblee looks like the best of the bunch, and thats not saying much. Barricade looks too cartoony, and Megatron just looks terrible. I saw in another sightings forum that the sleep pants (seen also at Target, though not at any Target I've been to) were at K-Mart, but no such luck here. I want my 'Bee, and I want my sleep pants, dammit!
I didn't this this posted anywhere - And I'm not going to spend hours looking - but at Target, I saw the 2-pack (3-pack?) movie OP & Megatron on 1st round clearance.
yeah, I notice target puts shelf warmers on clearance pretty fast! I usually wait a bit before buying something there that I'm only marginally interested in. Back in the star wars heyday, pre-prequel crap, I could usually find good deals. Did my run today, nothing new in williamsburg. But my walmart guy said they'd gotten new stuff in. really wish they'd clearance classics devastator, they got quite a few!
Wal*Mart Richmond Pkwy: picked up G.I. Joe Inferno, Gung Ho, and Iron Grenadier. There were still two sets left. Target Springfield Mall: absolutely jack. Target Richmond Pkwy: one FAB Bumblebee. K-Mart Springfield: absolutely jack. TRU Kingstowne: jack. Wal*Mart Kingstowne: G.I. Joe Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes, Arcee and Dreadwing.
Tene, I noticed that the 25th Anniversary Joes are out and I saw them at one Wally World but can't remember which one it was. I also noticed that I am the first to post this as of 1145PM, that I saw Wave 2 tonight, at the Redmill/Sandbridge Wally. They had tons of dexlues since they were out a day ago. They had plenty of Bumblebee in his concept camro and also Dreadwing and Arcee. Man, I love what they did w/ her. Even seeing the concept images, I hope she makes an appearence in the prequel film.
