No FoC where I am yet.
I just want Shockwave...

 

2 targets in the bay, bayfair mall and hayward north had no FOC transformers.. all were still bumblebeed out...

 

vacaville target & walmart had w4 prime figs, but no arachnid.

Target at the plant in san jose had nothing as always.

 

all i beg of you fellow collectors.. if you see the MP series out.. dont buy them all thats a dick move... save some for your fellows, off to the side and share... there are enough scalpers out there out to make stupid amounts of money

 

I agree 100%, let's help the Cali folks out and only buy one, unless you are buying for another collector.

 

Depends on what parts of cali you live in. Some collectors buy them to sell to other collectors and keep them away from scalpers. Is that so horrible?

 

If they're a collector then how is it a dick move?

 

I think everyone is saying the same thing, let the collectors get the figures, not the scalpers.

 

Do you have the dcpi for the turtles? I want Kraang really bad and all the TRU's I find don't have him

 

Well kids might want them too... but definitely out of scalper hands would be good.

 

you just cant win. collectors buy one leave for other collectors, scalpers will buy all when they see. best thing to do is collector buy them all and share with others here for retail. its a vicious cycle.

Norcal Sacramento area, did a huge run this morning along I-80 down to hwy 99. from citrus heights to elk grove, targets, k-marts and walmarts nothing. no wave 4 prime, optimus maximus or FoC sighted. save your gas for i have burnt it for you  

 

add Grass valley kmart to the list of nothing new

 

All targets in the bay area from Fremont to Morgan Hill have the new TMNT figs. DCPI code for them was 087-06-0494

 

Nice!

 

It is definitely a vicious cycle with scalpers, especially with the TRU Exclusives. What I used to do was be there when it opened up, pick up all the exclusives and then call my fellow collectors to have them pick them up.

 

If a kid is going out of their way to find a Masterpiece transformers toy, chances are he is a young collector.

 

Like me, even though I am 15.

 

thats one thing to be a collector.. its more of the scalpers out there.. if you grab 5 or whatever call your fellow collectors and help them your a member of the community... the operative word of is helping... its not like i meant it as.. dont buy any for yourself if you are one.. i really dislike ebay prices for some of the harder things.. i grabbed 2 airachnids and traded her so a guy could do it for his blog.. also from here... we are a community... all here for the same love.. not to screw eachother...

TBH.. i ran into another collector a while back and he was looking for a shadow strike.. i happened to have the last one from that current store, ended up giving it to him since i knew there was one at another that was on my way home...

im collecting to one day give to my son... show him responsibility, hes gonna start off young with them and get 2.. chose which one to open (hopefully not the masterpiece units)

 

Luckily a lot of TRUs limit 1 per customer on their exclusives

 

Just bought an Energon Driller at he Walmart near the 54 freeway. One left there, along with a bunch of Starhammers. There were 3 cv Ironhides there too, but no sign of Dreadwing or Magnus.
