well i looked at bbts.com and they have a shipping date of august 08. so add about 3 weeks or so to that and that's when stores 'should' have them on shelves. might be sooner, might be later, but that's what i can decifer.
More North Plano news... Frisco SuperTarget Nothing new. It's all Animated Wave 1 & 2 Stuff... North Plano SuperTarget (Parker & DNT) Nothing new really. The newest was a couple of Grimlocks, but they've re-planogrammed some of the toy department. The rear endcaps are overflowing with all kinds of clearance stuff...Transformers (movie), Star Wars, etc., etc. Something's coming, I guess. The clearance TFs include: Real Gear Robots @ $4.88 -- 2-3 dozen available, wide assortment. Cyber Slammers @ $5.58 -- 3x Cliffjumper and 2x Jazz Movie Prime Battle Rig Blaster @ $17.42 -- 4ea on shelf. Movie Ratchet Allspark Blaster @ $13.58 -- 1ea on shelf. Fast Action Battlers @ $6.98 -- 1x Rescue Torch Ratchet, 5x Night Attack Megatron All the movie Deluxes and Leaders are still regular price. The DID have the new Star Wars Clone Wars and Legacy Collection toys. No new GI Joes or Mighty Muggs...or anything else for that matter...
Nothing new that I noticed. They had some of the comic two packs, but other than that, they really need to re-stock and freshen up some of their stuff.
Thanks for the heads up. This saves me a trip to Target since Movie Leaders and Voyagers are still regular priced. Someone mentioned in another thread that movie leader is reduced to $27 and voyager for $13 at his Target, but maybe it is just that store.
Yeah, I really wanted the last Premium Leader Prime they had. And to add, I only saw two Deluxes at Park/DNT SuperTarget and they were both Salvages.
metro boy! Thanks for the heads up! I went to the Plano wal mart after my summer class and I scored mighty muggs and all of the activators! I have all universes though!
walmart in conroe is being remodeled so no tf's at all there and nothing new at the conroe target either.
Ok so here is what I found today. Wal-Mart on Fry Rd Had Wave 3 Animated figures all of them. They are at the end of the aisle where the action figures are. They also had about two Optimus Prime Voyagers if anyone is still looking for one. Their McDonalds had Lugnut and Megatron. Also they did have the Incredible Hulk figure that came with the Bruce Banner figure, his back opens up to but Bruce inside he was 14 something I ended up passing as that seemed a bit pricy for me. Wal-Mart Katy Mills They had some Transformers Animated out like OMFG wow. Nothing much to be excited about as all they had were Ratchet, Blackaracinha, and they had like one Optimus Prime. Their McDonalds did not have any Transformers Animated toys. Toys R Us Katy Mills They did not have nothing much new. They do have some Universe Robot Heroes. Don't know if anyone is into Ben 10 Alien Force but they had about 5 or 6 Ben Tennison figures I ended up getting me one has I like the show. Super Target at Westhiemer Parkway Only have Animated Voygers out no Deluxes in sight. Finally found my Birds of Prey DVD their as the two Wal-Marts did not have it at all. Other then that that is pretty much it. I don't know if I could ask a favor from yall but if anyone happens to come across a McDonalds that has Ratchet he's all I need and if someone could get me one I would be glad to pay them back as I do not want to go to all the McDonalds to find one. I would sure appreciate anyones help. Thanks and goodnight for now.
Holy shit! First leader sighting in north Texas! It's at the spring creek Frisco wal mart! 1 leader megs and two bulkheads!!!!! And some wave 3 still like snarl and oil slick!
Wal-Mart at 190 and Old Denton in Carrollton has Leader Megatron and Leader Bulkhead, as well as lots of all three of the Universe Deluxes. Also plenty of the new Robot Heroes. Finally able to pick up Octane, and also grabbed Leader Megs and Bulkhead. Cashier let me split my haul into two transactions so I could use two Happy Meal coupons. No new Joes or vehicles, for those that are interested. Also, I checked the Target at 190 and Josey the other day, and they had wiped out the TF aisle in preparation for the reset. They had the new shelf tags up, and it looks like Target will be charging $42.99 for the leaders. Ouch.
Anyone know how willing Target is to haggle? I've seen the same movie leader brawl there, upside down, half transformed in a banged up box, and I'm not spending $40 for that
Go for it. I saw a woman successfully haggle down a patio rug because it was the display model. You need to do this with a manager, though, as the cashiers do not have the authority. She pushed her luck, however, and tried to get even more off because it was dirty, and heaven forbid, she would have to clean it. Needless to say, the manager told her it was an outside rug, take it outside and hit it with a hose.
Well, we've already seen Deluxes at TRU for $10.99. I've just been waiting for prices to start going up. It's been a while. Now seems like the right time with the economy going the way it is. BUT, Target tried charging $45 for Movie Leaders when they first came out. They didn't get away with that for long. If Wal-Mart keeps their prices where they are, Target probably won't have any choice but to match...especially if Wal-Mart advertises their price! So... They DID let you use the "Animated" Happy Meal coupon on NON-Animated toys?! Very cool! OH!, by the way, I followed MetroyBoy's tip and picked up my Universe Prowl and Sunstreaker at the Ohio/121 Wal-Mart. But they ALSO had tons of Animated Activators, Animated Bumper Battlers, AND the new 12" GI Joes if anyone's interested: Cobra Trooper, Flint, Bazooka...don't remember what else. Tried to post last night but the sight was down for an upgrade.
I'll give it a try once I get a new job and can afford to buy toys. Hopefully wave 3s will be abundant around here by then, as well. With any luck, I'll get a call from said Target about the night stocker job and I won't have to worry about haggling at all.
