    I FOUND'EM ALL! Gosh, considering I didn't find Alt Mirage until last week this is really lucky for me. Op, Megs, and Astrotrain were at 1 TRU and Bee, Rod, and Screamer (the ones I wanted most) were at another TRU. Considering I couldn't make it to BotCon finding these at 2 for 1 sale was pretty cool! About $65 total with tax. Good luck with your own searches everyone. Hope you get as lucky as me.

    Alas, I struck out at TRU today, on Classics anyway. The stock boy did say that everything they had was on the shelf. I did pick up Tit Thundercracker, Tit Jetfire, and GF Vector Prime as my consolation prize. I just couldn't NOT take advantage of the sale. The search continues...

    Ya know what? eff TrU, the smaller stores get 'em first. Or at least they put 'em out first. I mentioned my local Boscovs has all the Classics as of today. I can't tell you how many alternators I've bought from Boscovs instead of TrU or Walmart because they get them out first. Yeah sure, they're a buck or two more, but it's worth not waiting.

    I'm starting to see that Boscov's is shaping up to be rather good as a source for TFs. I might have to start shopping there.

    Only problem is, the closest one (Butler) is 65 miles away.

    However, distance has not deterred me before, I shall drive my ass off for plastic goodies damnit.

    They have been found at TRU in Louisville Ky as well - not by me but another local - he posted a pic with a receipt in the sightings forum.

    Hey guys, long time listener, first time caller.

    Anyways, I checked TRU toys in Maryland in the cities of Bel Air & White Marsh with no luck. I'll let you know if/when I find them.

    Any CONFIRMED sightings/purchases in Eastern, PA? I am gonna go hunting as soon as my last class ends tomorrow at 1. I'll hit TRU first, but there are plenty of Walmarts and Kmarts around.

    Boscovs is in the mall near me, but I don't ever recall seeing a Toys section.

    I called to all 4 or 5 of the TRUs in the KC metro and was told negative. One store did tell me that they were expected in next week though.

    This is promising. I just caem back from my TRU and no luck. However, they did finally have the Titanuim WW Prime that I was able to pick up so no wasted trip.

    I've not been out to look anywhere yet, but I'm only looking for the voyagers. I got the deluxes ordered from hasbrotoyshop.com.

    The TRU here in town has the 20th Optimus re-release, but no Classics. :( 

    (no Alternators either, for that matter, and the BW 2-pack is up on top of the shelf, well out of reach to most shoppers)

    I'm broke, so I haven't bothered looking yet... but nothing's been posted in the NJ Sightings Thread, so I figure I'll just wait till I see something there. I'm not really in THAT much of a rush to get them. I'll probably get them one-by-one, too. ;)
