    Well, I did a little TF hunting this morning. Here's the rundown.

    Turnersville Walmart Supercenter - Jack. Actually, they had less than jack. Saying they had jack would be an insult to people named Jack.

    Deptford Toys R Us - They had some Real Gears and one FAB Concept BB. I also saw two Vader Death Stars. That's it.

    Deptford Target - Some old deluxes and one of those battle scene sets. I think it was the Final Battle with the tow truck. Not impressed.

    Sicklerville Target - Again, some old deluxes and one of those sets. I think it was the Barricade one. They had Allspark legends two-packs, also.

    Turnersville Target - They had the most stuff. They had a ton of old deluxes, including, believe it or not, a couple classic camero BBs! I haven't seen those in like forever. They also had plenty of Allspark 2-packs and some old FABs.

    None of the places I checked above had any Allspark deluxes, voyagers or Leader figs. So, don't waste your gas looking at those stores. I'll probably give it another week or week and a half before checking again. They're bound to show up soon.

    I just got back from the Marlton Walmart on Rt. 70. They are still in the middle of doing their reset, BUT they had TWO Nightwatch Primes on the bottom shelf! Naturally, I got one so there's only ONE left as of 12:15pm. They didn't have any other Allsparks. A few older voyagers and no deluxes at all. They did have a fair amount of older FABs and I did see plenty of the Cyber Slammer Cliffjumpers. That's about it.

    I'm at work now, but when I get home I'll post pics of Nightwatch Prime.

    EDIT: Here's he is!

    That thing is scary.:eek: 

    They should have saved the night-watch name for a stealth/black repaint or something. NightWatch mean he glows in the dark or something?

    I think I'm done TF shopping until Hasbro runs out of that horrid baby-blue paint.
    :lol

    No, he doesn't glow in the dark. That would've been cool. I'm not sure why he's called "Nightwatch" considering the color scheme isn't really dark. Oh, well.

    Is anyone besides Smkscrn GT shopping for the current batch of TF's?
    I'm basically skipping the allsparked goofy blue waves, and not really excited about repainted premiums, so I'm pretty much done with the Movie toys & I'm boycotting animated. So until Classics 2.0 starts hitting its all about sporadic GI Joe, Star Wars or Elite Force if anything.

    Let me know what you guys are looking for cuz I tend to just skim over the TF sections lately.
    The only thing I may grab is that reverse Bumblebee that hasn't hit yet.

    Let me know what you are hunting for cuz I'm in atleast one Target no less then once a week.

    This is what my disposable income has been going too....:D

    Just got back from the Marlton Walmart...again! They have completely restocked the deluxes, but they were all older ones. No Allspark. They did have several Concept BBs, though. I haven't seen those in a while. As for Nightwatch Prime, they had at least six that I saw. Three down below and three more up top. They also had some of the Allspark battles 2-packs. No new voyagers. And it looks like there's no more Cyber Slammer Cliffjumpers.

    And, yes, I may very well be the only one hunting for Allspark. :lol

    I picked up the new voyager All Spark Autobot "Evac" today at the Lumberton Wal Mart while on business.... very cool looking recast of Blackout. They had TONS of the All Spark Iron Hide and Optimus Prime, but only 2 Evac's, one of which was bashed to hell.

    Just got back from the Walmart Supercenter in Turnersville. They had one Offroad Ironhide and two First Strike Primes. I got one of the Primes and left the Ironhide. They also had a ton of older deluxes, as well, but no Allspark ones and no Nightwatch Primes.

    Only thing Im looking for right now are three, the ones that are vehicles from the movie. The Osprey, the GMC suv and the dune buggy guy. have not seen any yet, however I don't look as much anymore. I have been going through a break up of a 6 year relationship so havn't really been in the mood to look for transformers.

    I'm very sorry to hear about your break up. That really sucks. But, hang in there, man. You'll get through it.

    Understood.
    When real-life gets in the way, toy collecting gets zero priority.
    Sometimes its hard to look at your own collections because of the memories associated with it all. Especially if your partner was there for the joy and now the joy is gone.
    Take a break. Reconfigure some shelves. Do something different.

    MAINTAIN, DUDE.

    Truer words rarely spoken. I also recently exited a 5 year relationship and I still get upset when I look at the PM Prime she got me, but can't bring myself to sell it.

    Thank goodness my Ex was not involved with the Transformers at all, other then hating them because I spent so much time with them. Oh well, they knew when they met me and I didn't change in 6 years so I really don't think it's going to change any time soon either.

    Thanks for the support guys :)  It's getting better!

    Walmart Supercenter in Turnersville has the new wave of FABs. They had 1 Sonic Shock Smokescreen, 1 Pulse Cannon Ironhide, 1 Fire Blast Prime and 1 Claw Slash Ramjet. I picked me up Smokescreen, so there's no more of him, but I passed on the others. They also had three Nightwatch Primes and one Offroad Ironhide. Plus a bunch of older deluxes and FABs.
