    It was in the secondary display by the greeting cards. It's possible employees yanked them since they were street dated.

    A whole day later, I just found Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee at Roanoke Toys R Us!

    They had three left when I left, however when I checked out they told me the item had a street date of November (that's what it says in their computer). The cashier sold it to me, but asked her manager to pull the others off the shelf, so I have no idea how much longer they'll be out there!

    Ebay:
    First Colonial Target has one Vulture and two spider-man(the tony
    Made suit, not the hoodie suit). They also had the warlock Wave minus cyclops, Logan and colossus. They also had most of Wave 4 Titans Return Deluxes minus Perceptor.

    Also a couple of Walmarts have had $2.50 Titan Master sets, mostly just the Overboard sets are left.

    No luck finding MPM03 Bumblebee at Manassas TRU. Still hoping to find this figure for under $100 after being scammed by an ebay seller. Fingers crossed that his distribution doesn't suck!

    Stopped into Carmia Way Toys R Us this afternoon and grabbed the last MPM-3 Bumble Bee. They also had November listed as the street date but sold it to me anyway. It's a decent figure but it is expensive. Dedinitely the best BumbleBee movie digure, even if it is expensive. There was an MTC Cybertron, a One Step Dragonstorm and RC Sqeaks but nothing else new. TLK Leader Prime amd Megatron were totally gone. Also saw the legacy Red Ranger Power Sword (2x). Other than that I didn't see anything new.

    That's some BS. Did Manassas even say whether they received shipment of the figure? I didn't even see pricing for it on display. It's already been released in Canada for some time now. TRU, get your shit together!

    I asked and she kind of paused and then just said no. I have a sneaking suspicion I wasn't the only person to ask. Either that, or maybe they've already sold through all of their stock.

    Thanks for letting me know. I guess I'll just try the buy it from the website, pickup in store when available option, though I've never seen my closest TRU have their inventory status online.

    Hey, a friend and I will be in the Chantilly area this weekend. Are there any good places for TFs in that area, or just off of I-95 (we'll be driving in from NC) that we should check out?

    You'll be hitting the same kind of chains in the Chantilly area but you'll have a lot of locations within just a 10-15 radius. There are at least a dozen Walmart + Targets and three TRU (Manassas, Fairfax/Fair Lakes, Sterling). As far as unique shops in this area, you might like eStarland, which focuses primarily on video games (primarily older stuff) but it does carry some collectibles (not so much TFers) and is really quite big. There are probably some other comicbook shops too, but I don't frequent those, so others will have to chime in there.

    The biggest thing you may want to do if you have time is join our local meetup on Sunday. We'll be at the Fairfax Bonchon and we'll have a gathering of locals and I plan to bring a bunch of samples which will include some MMC, Ocular Max, Fans Hobby, Fans Toys, and more. You can check that thread here: Northern VA Meet Up
