We checked out the new Fairborn TRU that opened today, they had the full FOC Deluxe kickback wave, FOC Grimlock x2, some first wave beast hunters deluxe and they also had some legion class but I was in a bit of a rush. Nice big Transformers section overall though.
We went out on the town today and picked up a few more Kreo Combiner sets. All I need now it Bruticus. Used the $2 off coupons from a few weeks back. Swung by Toys Time Forgot in Canal Fulton and floored the hell out of myself. They have the Magnus/Skywarp set loose for $150. Nope, I can pick it off ebay for cheaper in box. They also had FOC Grimlock but were asking $40 for him. Really, that is a jacked up their price for something still on the shelf. I did finally see a Kickback on the shelf at TRU Canton. I left it though since I want to save a little to get Soundwave when he comes stateside.
Hit Mentor, Willoughby and Mayfield Heights yesterday. Some nice sightings. Willoughby Target: Hardshell x2 Trailcutter x2 Smokescreen x3 Ripclaw x1 Shockwave x2 (first time seeing it at retail. Awesome.) Mayfield TRU: Hardshell x4 Trailcutter x1 Power Rangers: Willoughby Target had one full set of Zords needed to make Gosei Grand Megazord. (The three lions.) Mayfield TRU had EIGHT of the Nippon version Shinken-Oh.

In C-Bus, look like most of the Targets now have received FOC deluxe wave 3 finally. Saw a couple at the Grove City and Hilliard stores. G.C has 3 FOC soundwaves.
I FINALLY was able to get a Classics Ramjet. It took hunting the regular sites and praying for a decent price and I snagged it for $30. Only one more deluxe class seeker to go. The elusive high priced Skywarp.
Not a lot to report, but the Hun-Grrr cyberverse ave is available at Toys R Us Dayton Mall. Also, Ollie's near there has preview wave Kreon figures for $1.99, and a big mess of Prime deluxes at $4.99 for your Vehicon army building needs. I saw Hot Shot, Ratchet, Wheeljack, Knockout, Dead End, Vehicon, and Airachnid. - and NO BUMBLEBEES!! (RIP awesome comedy genius and fellow Ohio/Dayton son Jonathan Winters)
Kroger Sunbury Road in westerville Cartload of DOTM Deluxes (CF Bee, Turbo Bee, and a few others I don't need) Armload of BH CV figures and the leftover Prime CV figures they put out during Easter (Not Clearanced, though)
Good call on Ollies... Ollies on Hamilton ave has atleast three airachnids and 10+ vehicons left.. Plus wheeljack, knockout, and deadend
columbus toy show at vets memorial had tons of vintage and a decent amount of third party but the prices were insane. One booth wanted $700 for a MOC brawn and everything else they had was also insanely priced. They had 2 opened, and obviously played with, quakewaves for $250 which they thought was some sort of great deal because they gave you batteries... If anyone missed out on the show don't feel bad. There was nothing you couldn't find online a ton cheaper
I was there too. I temporary forgot about it. I picked up a mint condition G1 Dirge. Wasn't in the box but the stickers were still on the sheet and weapons were still attached. The prices were a little too high. One complaint I heard was the lack of vendors that did not have the smartphone hook-up for charge cards.
Went to Kroger in Graceland in Columbus, top shelf had the last Shockwave, a friend got one off the shelf the day prior, he said they sold the other one but I knew of the over stock up ahead and decided to check. That's all I've got for now. Not seen much of generations wave 3 at all in Columbus, I may just be missing it.
Was also at the toy show hunting for vintage. Much as you said I didn't find anything in a reasonable price range but I got some nice non-Transformers figures.
Hey Aniken, most of the Walmarts & Targets on the west and southwest side have several of them. Kickback and Airaid are the harder ones to find.
north olmsted ollies still had some vehicons and airachnids along with plenty of wjack,hot shot, dead end,knock out also what appeared to be a full box of preview kreons
