    Found the Perceptor & Insecticon reissues at the Murray TRU. However there were only one of each on the self when I left at 11:30 am. No sign of them at West Valley or Sugar House yet.

    So you bought him, yeah? All that's left on your must have list is FAB Arcee, right?

    Once again it is proven that the Layton TRU is lame! I called again (after being told the other day that they only had one truck this week coming Wednesday) and she said they don't have it but it could be coming on Fridays truck.

    Congrats on the find. I kinda want to pick up him along with Sideswipe HA but am waiting for some kind of sale as $30 for a Voyager is pricey. Probably when the movie comes out we will see some discounts.

    are they really making a FAB Arcee? I'm still a little grumpy about them canceling her Animated figure.

    Yeah there is a FAB Arcee coming out. I last heard that animated Arcee was still coming as I recall. I think it was at Comic Con.

    Looks like they finally acknowledged that their insanely overpriced toys aren't selling. Maybe they might have some Universe figs leftover, because there's some holes in my Classics collection I need to fill.

    West Jordan Wal-Mart has tons of HA Skids, and Gears and Thrust if anybody's still looking. TFs are everywhere in that store, so no hard time finding almost anything.

    Yeah, Ani Arcee is supposed to come out when they release Rodimus, Blackout and the repaints of Bulkhead and Jazz.

    As for the ROTF FAB Arcee, she's got pics up on the frontpage right now!!

    Went by Layton TRU this morning and no G1 reissues as I expected. They said maybe in the truck next Friday. Have they shown up in Utah County? I just don't understand why they would hit SLC a full week before Layton :mad .

    TRU in Orem had 1 perceptor and no insecticons. I got the only perceptor. Some kid had I when I got there and he was trying to convince his mom to spend the $35 on it. Luckily she didn't see the value and said no, offering him legos instead. So I snatched it up after he left. I didn't wan to have to have a tantrum in the toy store :) 

    and hasbro is being really stingy with these. Are there only like one set per store or something? Scalper field day that's for sure. Although still nothing compares to bigbadtoystore selling the target superion and bruticus sets for 100% markup!

    Old news, but West Jordan Redwood Road Target has their stuff at pretty much the same price as Wal-Mart ($10 Deluxe, $35 Leader, etc.). And Bruticus is shelfwarming like crazy.

    And in non-TF news, my Honk's dollar store had Terminator Salvation basics (the smaller figs) for a buck. Sad to see how poorly the movie and toyline did.

    It's by the Redwood Road Target (6874 Redwood Rd). There's one in West Valley and Layton as well, I think. I was there looking for TF KO's, but they had nada, so I just picked up a Terminator figure.

    Glad to hear you got the Perceptor. My wife wanted to go to FYE this morning when they opened, so I went to TRU to see if they had them. I saw the lone Perceptor and took a picture. I already have the TFC reissues of these, but I love seeing G1 on the shelves again.

    Here is your Perceptor before you bought it. :)
