    I'm looking at an mp thundercracker at Manchester TRU.
    Edit: I think I see why. The face has a QC issue, got a couple bubbles in the plastic. Ew. Unexpected sighting: Grabbed a generations junk heap (aka Ronald McDonald junkion) in case I get the maiden Japan kit. 1 left.

    Well. We finally got more Prime Deluxes at Bethel Target. Anyone still looking for Soundwave? We have two.

    .....along with a bunch of Bumblebee, Cliffjumper and Wheeljack.....

    Oddly enough, a few days before that, a Knock Out showed up without any sign of his wave and he's still there.

    Would anyone be willing to do a meet and swap? I have hundreds of TFs I'd consider trading. I'd like to get a few of us together and do a proper meet and swap/sell. Pm if interested.

    will need to take a trip tomorrow! For those who are gonna go to the TRU in Milford, I'm planning on getting CJ and Wheelie-so if you're also getting 2 and are trying to decide between which pair, i'd say start with Swerve and Springer! :p

    Np. Very tempted by wheelie, that mold works surprisingly well. But, I had to pass in favor of other priorities. They had at least two, tho.

    No GDO at Waterbury TRU. Hopefully they'll be there soon. Plenty of Kreo microchangers though.

    TRU Milford had 2 Springers, a CJ, and a Swerve when I left. I'd gotten CJ and Wheelie. Liking Cliff more than i thought-my other CJ might have to move over...

    Went by Manchester TRU during my lunch break. On the TF aisle a lady, probably in her late 50s-early 60s was browsing the TFs. As I approached, I watched her put the only Voyager Dreadwing in her cart. Ugh... felt like I had been kicked by a horse. Not new Prime, Generations OR GDO Deluxes there (depsite the fact an employee told me a truck had come in this morning).

    Not to be deterred, I drove up to Target and bought the only Dreadwing. He's incredibly sweet, but for the soft plastic/hard rubber wings and head. But all in all one of the best Voyagers of the series. I'd rank him just below FE Bulkhead and Voyager Breakdown, but well ahead of Megatron and PRID Optimus.

    Found GDO Wheelie and Springer at Waterbury TRU, one GDO Cliffjumper there and that's it. It appears they only put out three or four GDO to fill the Generations peg back up, so I would not be surprised if they put more out. I hope they do cause I really want Swerve.

    Yep. I bought the one from Target in Manchester and the Manchester TRU had one that a lady grabbed right in front of me. Happy hunting!

    An odd note, though mp thundercracker is out of stock at Tru, he is available for in store pick up, so you can see where he may be in your area.
