    Same with TRU Raritan. I couldn't find a reason to buy them. But I DID find ALT Swerve at TRU Raritan. It was the only one.

    I checked Eatentown again today but nothing new was there. Looks like all the Vector Prime's sold though. (Ok, I think there was only one other one after got mine.) Forgot to mention yesterday that there was an RID Hightower on the pegs as well. Thought about buying it for a second but I passed. (It's still there.)

    I saw all sorts of stuff at the TRU in Union (Route 22 east) today. Saw Prime and Megatron, Jetfire, Crumplezone, Vector Prime, Hotshot, Thundercracker, and a few others. I didn't buy any so as of this afternoon they were all still there.

    TRU in Freehold had several Cybertron Jetfires and one Crumplezone and Vector Prime. Not much else noteworthy. Though on their G1 clearance they're selling Hoist for 3.98. Grapple was on sale for that too but there were no more of him left.

    Wow, I didn't even know there was a TRU on 22 East in Union!

    Anyway, went over, nice Cybertron collection. Picked up a Hot Shot... even though I really wanted a Vec. Prime, Hot Shot was my priority, and I didn't have the money for both. ;) 

    Hot Shot, Thundercracker, Landmine and Dirtboss were the deluxes they had... Both Op. Prime and Megatron, Vec. Prime, think there was a Jetfire, maybe a crumplezone?

    Hangovers make the mind forget. ;)

    I just picked up Alternator swerve in TRU in Union today (sorry, last one). Still can't find decepticharge.

    which cybertron figures are the rarer ones? I'm trying to hold on on buying them but i don't want to miss out on the hard to find ones and pay like 3X later for it.

    Also, anyone ever see the Universe 2 pack constructicons? I hardly find any mentino of the on the web.

    Found Cybertron figures at TRU route 4 Paramus. No prime or Megs. Only 2 Crumplezones, 5 Jetfires and 4 Vector primes.

    I don't think there's any rare Cybertron figs yet. Hell they haven't even been out for a whole week yet. The 3 largers classes are two different figures per case so they should be easy enough to find, though V Prime and Scourge seem sell a little better than their case buddies of Crumplezone and Jetfire.

    I thought I remembered hearing that Universe in general is just dead now, so odds are we won't see the constructicons. At least not in Universe, possibly in Cybertron like they're doing with the mini trains.

    You must've gotten to that TRU before I did, Cerebros. Only Alt. there was Grimlock. Of all things, there was an alt Grimlock.

    These stores wierd me out with their stocks sometimes.

    Anyway, I'll probably go looking for either Optimus or Vector Primes on Friday... depending on how much I get paid. :p

    Went to TRU Eatentown today, they had new Cybertron- deluxes and scouts. Grabbed Hot Shot, Thundercracker, Overhaul, Ransack, and Scattorshot. Still plenty of all of them, or at least there was around 10:30am. No leaders, but plenty of Jetfires and a few each of V Prime and Crumplezone.

    Went to TRU Eatontown to get Hot Shot. They have Optimus, Megatron, Scourge and Starscream in. Didn't have the money for them but they looked damn tempting.

    TRU at Bluestar in Watchung looked like they just restocked. Only Cybertron I didn't see were some scouts (Scattorshot and the green jeep-like guy whose name I can't recall off the top of my head), Scourge and Starscream.

    Also, non-Cybertron, they had two-packs of Alternators (Smokescreen/Sideswipe), and Energon... ummm... step-above-deluxes. Ironhide/Jetfire and Ironhide/Mirage. I picked up a Vector Prime... now I see why everyone is saying to get the GF version. Feel like I would have gotten a better deal with the Ironhide/Jetfire combo... oh well.

    Went out to pick up OP last night... went to TRU Union first... no Leaders. :(  No Hot Shots either, in case you were looking to pick one up... didn't really take too much note of anything else there... Scourge and Jetfires... Alt. Grimlock (look to the shelves on the left), etc. Went to Blue Star TRU (which is actually closer to me, I should've gone there first)... but by the time I got there, they were closed. Stupid Sunday hours! I wonder if they're open today.

    Poor retail workers, having to work on the 4th of July...

    But, Blue Star TRU was open. Picked up my OP. ;)  Didn't see any basics, but they've got King Starscream in stock. And wow is he big. I certainly hope we get a standard, mega-sized version at some point. He looks almost as tall as Unicron, if not as tall... sorry, that's too tall for me. :p

    TRU Freehold had 1 Op and 4 Megs and Alot of the other sized guys as well. Lots of reissues crowding the shelves and Alts Windcharger and Ravage. Going to TRU Hazlet tomorrow (and maybe Walmart in Old Bridge) to look for Alt Swerve.
