    nothing new in the wyo/reading area

    I have seen scalpers at work even overheard them at a local toy store, scalpers work in 2 or more at least 1 at the place where they are getting there inventory, the one working can useally give street dates or pull cases to the side for the other person, if you have ever known that a certain figure was out and didn't find it for awhile it's probly because the scalpers have bought the cases straight from the back, if you are seeing them on the shelves other collectors are buing them up and nowadays collectors are buing more than one set themselves, a set for themselves another for a friend and even buing extra to sell themselves, collectors aren't buing whole cases but can deplete a new stock in a day. so remember scalpers will always get first crack so everyone just keep what ytou are doing and helping each other find transformers.

    Masterpiece Grimlock

    I picked mine up at the Cranberry Twp Toys R Us Yesterday. They had 5 left if anybody in the Pittsburgh area needs one.

    Stopped at the Shippensburg Wal Mart. They had the new 5-pack Power Crap Combiners. Nothing else more worth mentioning.

    Maybe but, you claimed that the figs were ON the shelves. I don't think that Mirarage would have missed a "shit ton" of new exclusives.

    I the way back from visiting my friends in PA, I found a HFTD Battle Blade Optimus Prime voyager at the Wilkes-Barre Super Walmart.

    Amazing figure. An amazing scaled down version of the leader version.

    MOTHER FU....of course the one place I DIDN'T stop when I was there the other day. I literally told my friend "Meh, they won't have anything new anyway."

    Cranberry Township TRU had the animated exclusives. They only had one Rodimus, which I picked up, but there was one Ironhide left.

    I think the only ones left are the hidden ones if someone else from the board hasn't picked them up by now.

    I took a set of Rodimus and Iornhide, put one set behind the A-team vans and left one set on the pegs which looks like you picked those ones up.

    I was around there at noonish as well I guess you walked into the store as I was leaving.

    I hope they are still there when I go today. But I have a feeling they probably won't be. Keeping fingers crossed.

    Anyone know when the KOP TRU is going to reopen?

    TRU in Erie has 3 of Rodimus and 2 of Ironhide after I bought mine. Also 3 Grimlocks on the shelf.

    They were in the middle of stocking a ton of stuff there but I didn't stick around to see what all they had as this was all I was looking for.

    TRU in Exton has many MP Grimlocks.

    No animated Rodimus or Iron Hide yet that I could tell... but if you need an animated Cybertron Mode Ratchet you have SO come to the right place....
