I'm down.

So we've got about 4 TRU within like 45 minutes of Indy? 5 if you count Ft Wayne.

 

YEah, someone needs to get ahold of me when the GDO Asiarations toys hit TRU. Those I'm gonna have to fight for I think...

 

Anyone else after the FOC Bruticus? If scalpers get those it will be like sdcc all over then will make it hard to find them later at a good price.If anyone sees any of them pm me asap?Btw G1 Prowl find anything out bout those Jackie parts???

 

Yeah, my friend who has them isn't sure whether he wants to chase down a WJ for them yet. You may have to wait til Slagacon before he decides. I know he's madly in love with the Generations WJ I got him, so I might be able to work my magic.

And I wouldn't worry about Bruticus too much. Things always are sparse for the first couple weeks, then they hit saturation.

 

I have no interest in Bruticus. If I see him I will pass it on. Franklin Wal Mart still has all three of the first FoC wave if anyone is still looking.

 

I am too if I see it. Won't go to any lengths to get it though. More interested in the Kreons at this point. I also just know that when I see them, only 4 will be there. haha. I might pass if I can't get the whole set at once.

 

I stopped worrying about Bruticus as soon as I decided to order the G2 set from Amazon (and a second from BBTS.) I like the colors and packaging, and I don't need to worry about hunting the figures down in the store and paying $75+tax on the set.

Speaking of the price increases, I just noticed that legends/legions are now $6 at Walmart. The price increases combined with the price of gas and shoddy distribution are making it a whole lot easier for me to just say "screw retail" and buy the figures at internet retailer markup prices.

 

Can't argue with that!! It also makes it easier to swallow 3rd party products.
Too bad I didn't want the G2 one cause that price was awesome!!

 

I found that target charges less for the legions by at least a dollar, not enough to go for them alone, but they do increase the incentive to pick something up from them with the legions as a nice bonus.

 

And if the Legion class figs you're after are TRU Exclusives? Hosed.

 

Put me on the list too please.

 

Question for my Indiana neighbors, in three parts. Your input would be VERY much appreciated.

1) Did you attend Slagacon in 2010 or 2011?
2) What mobile phone provider do you use?
3) Were you able to obtain a solid, reliable, reasonably speedy internet access inside the building, especially in the dealer room?

 

2011, Verizon, mediocre

 

For all those nearby Merrillville, the Meijer there had wave 2 of Prime , some Foc primes and a Jazz, and more Shockwaves than anything else   go quickly!!

 

West Lafayette Walmart is doing a reset and rearrangement of the entire toy section. Generations pegs up. Will see tomorrow if they have toys for said pegs.

 

No Masterpiece Thundercracker at Greenwood TRU this morning.

 

Avon Meijer
Generations FOC still $12.99 (Prime, Jazz, Shockwave)
TF Prime figures are still $11.99 (nothing new though, just the regular)
Legion are still $4.99 and they have some of the new ones (Flamewar and Wheeljack) and a vehicon.

Good for Meijer! Just in case, be sure you scan the items before taking them up or at least take a pic to make sure you get the price without having to go through the hassel of having someone check.

 

They removed the price sticker they had last week too! Guess they will not be getting any more.

 

Any more? Did they ever have any?

Their truck comes in on Friday IIRC.
