Except for the people losing their jobs. That always sucks.
On topic, found SS Hightower at Mechanicsburg Target. They also had Dropkick and Drift along with the Micromaster 10 pack. Took a chance on Drift too.

 

I thought the sky was falling when TRU pulled the rug from under me. I was wrong. The grass is greener on the other side. I just had to be forced to look there.

Just came from Willow Grove WM. No Soundwaves or cassettes. I know I'll never spot these around here so not even gonna bother wasting any more time looking.

 

Not really. Less competition is a bad thing. No TRU, no Sears, no Kmart, just Walmart, Target, and Amazon.

I don't know about you, but considering all of those have automated operations and in time will find a way to get rid of humans altogether, I'm not sure we should be celebrating it.

Maybe the place is a dump, I don't know, I've never been to Chambersburg, but it is someone's livelihood. Period. Let's never forget that.

 

Here’s to hoping Toys R Us’ planned revival works out well for them. Two stores planned to open later this year in NJ and Texas and their website will be going back up. I kind of feel like us (as a collecting group) should see what they have to offer just for the exact reason you state in your comment. Less competition is bad and people need to forget about the TRU that was and give them a chance. Maybe they can correct all the bad things, maybe they won’t. But having the exclusives in one place and having TRU around did make it easier to find things. Now? If you miss the shipment to Walmart or Target, you’re pretty much screwed. And I may be 41, but I don’t prefer to buy things online. Amazon has lost my package multiple times and I run the risk of the package arriving damaged. I like finding it in the store and knowing the condition of the item before I make that purchase. Call me old fashioned. I accept it lol

 

Walmart on Mill creek rd in Allentown had 6 Soundwaves

 

Target on Jonestown Road in Harrisburg is a gold mine! They have the Copter Drift SS Deluxe wave, Cyberverse Cheetor, the newest wave of Warriors with Deadlock and Gnaw, Ark Optimus, the Rainmakers and Micromasters.

I got the last Leader Studio Series Optimus.

 

This isn't exactly a sighting, but I wanted to offer to locals in the Philadelphia area before posting anywhere else that would involve shipping. I have an extra MP-44 Optimus V.3 due to arrive this week from Japan. I would take $400 for it if someone could meet me in the area to pick it up. Please let me know if interested or have any questions.

 

Chambersburg Walmart has 1 SS Long Haul. Nothing else.

 

You could almost take this literally. I think there’s also a Chromia, some of those vinyl non-transforming figures and the huge Cyberverse figures.

 

My Trailer Prime is going back. Damned thing had two left gas tanks, making truck mode transformation impossible.

 

Seems like you got the one that usually has my name on it.

 

Happily found Ultra Magnus at my target, besides his stress marks when getting him out of the box(not caused by me, already there) I am happy with getting him.

 

Just got my Refraktor Recon Team from Pulse today. Am I missing something or is there no way to have the camera mounted steadily on the tripod? If anyone has any input!

 

Love the way it looks! Can’t wait to get mine!

 

I figured it out! I guess that's why they give you an instruction book lol

 

Um. Really? You take the chest lens off, plug it into the 5mm hole on the bottom of the camera body, then take the curved tabs/fins on the tripod and insert them into the curved slots on the lens piece. Voila.
