Not sure if any of you are excited about SIEGE line, but I was able to preorder Thundercracker and Springer at Target.com. Of course, you get your 5% off and free shipping. Also available there is Galaxy Force Convoy. Now I am just on the lookout for Commander Class Skyfire and Titant Class Omega Supreme if they would show up there as well. As far as local here, Target Salem, Northlancaster have SIEGE Skythread, Sideswipe, wave 1 battlemasters and Megs. A lonely SS Grim and Blackout are also there if you're in to that. Still trying to sell that overpriced redeco of TR Soundwave there for $49.
Found wave 2 Micromasters at Blue Bag Collectibles. New store in Washington Square across from Lego. Gets his stuff from Diamond and Entertainment Earth. He’s got quite a few Beast Wars in excellent MISB condition. Worth watching this store.
For those of you TMNT fans. The Washington Square Target has the Neca Cartoon 2 packs in stock as of this afternoon. I picked up the full set of 8 figures. $200 and some change. Yikes $51.99 for each 2 pack. Go get em.
Don’t even bother with Eastport Walmart. They have a couple botbots and that’s it. The pegs for Transformers have un-sellable Black Series Star Wars from last years waves. I regret stopping to check.
On the off-chance that any Portlanders are playing the TF Trading Card Game, we're having a meetup at Guardian Games on Sunday March 31st: Transformers TCG Meetup / Play / Trade
Found the new Studio Series Bonecrusher and Optimus Prime, along with Barricade at the Tanasbourne Target
Found Shatter, Scrapmetal, and Cogman @ Airport Target. Got all 3. Only one Scrapmetal and Cogman as of 4:50pm
I am super excited for Wave 2 Siege. I'm very tempted to order it all on BBTS to avoid having to hunt for it. Can anyone comment on when bbts usually gets stuff in compared to finding it at retail around here?
That’s a tough one. I usually find things weeks in advance of BBTS getting any. For the leaders I was a month ahead. It’s best to put a safety preorder down while you hunt in stores and cancel when you find em or like the wave 1 Voyagers BBTS got them like 2 days before I saw them in person. Usually wave 1 product comes in fast. After that just do safety preorders.
Cracked open a FRESH case of Studio Series wave 6 deluxe at Fairview Target. Picked up a Scrapmetal and Shatter from it.
Dustin said he has multiple cases which is the only way to get ironhide. A couple Prowls, Chromias, and a Sixgun are on a shelf
Studio Series bumblebee Optimus x 3 and Rampage x 4 at Johnson Creek Walmart. 1 Siege Starscream as well.
LOL It always happens. Just as I get a Rampage with Free Shipping on Ebay it shows up in a store in town! Oh well, at least I got it.
