I'll take it - I'll also keep an eye out for one for Foster, as I still need Ratchet! My fervor is renewed!
The HA Barricade was at the Onalaska Wal-Mart, not TRU. However, they are across the street. The TRU here STINKS!!!!! There have been no Insecticons or Perceptor. TONS of the other exclusives . . . Hoist / Mixmaster and Gathering at Nemesis. I read through the MN boards as well, being that is home for me. I am in the cities every 6 weeks for meetings, but mainly on the west side in Plymouth. If any of you want something that i have spotted here, PM me, and I will gladly bring it up to the "holy land."
I found skystalker, life is good. I wouldn't say no to Arcee if I saw her, but I won't be holding my breath.
I found Arcee and Cyb. Ratchet at Burnsville TRU today. They also had two more Cyb Ratchets that I picked up for anyonone who wants one or both. You can have them at cost. I live near 280 and Como Ave. PM me if you are interested.
The mystery man is found!! MegaMoon you should contact Verdiboy as he live very close to me and you can get both today. 280 and Como is like 3min away from where I live.
thanks for the correction hotrod....knew it was something like that. I was too lazy to go back and look for sure.
At least you guys don't have to worry about me snagging all this new stuff. That's one more figure for everybody else
Has anyone seen a TFA Safeguard (Jetfire/Jetstorm) lately? Or does anyone have one for sale or trade?
Never ordered from them before, but looks like it comes out to about $20 shipped which I believe was the price at retail or less... Only 1 left though so act quick if you want it: Action Hero Fortress: Transformers Animated Pack - Jetfire and Jetstorm by Hasbro It's also available from toyglobe.com but their shipping is a bit of a rip-off. I think I have a coupon for 5% off if you or anyone else needs it. I'd just post it, but I don't know if it's a one time use only or not...if it's still good. It's only a couple weeks old, though. If someone wants it let me know. Or just add something to your cart and go through the motions and cancel before entering payment info and they'll probably send you a code too. edit: adding the quote for clarity since it went to a new page...at least for me.
PMd! I can't believe how people are finding these the day before and after I check places - I went to Burnsville TRU (before Foster rightly said don't bother) yesterday and they had squat. It's starting to feel like TRU is screwing with me on purpose. They did have a few of both the G1 reissues though, Hotrod.
It looks like the first Chinese auction for a TFA Blackout has occurred Transformers 2008 Animated Blackout Rare in Hand - eBay (item 150413723544 end time Feb-15-10 07:05:29 PST) It took one 1-2 months for Elec. Soundwave and Jazz, and Cyb Ratchet and Arcee to show up in the US after the intitial Chinese auctions. Hopefully this is a good sign, and hopefully Thundercracker is on his way as well.
Nobody needs to waste any time at Ridgedale Target or TrU today...nada... The Target in St. Louis Park had the new leader Megs...Shadow Megatron or something like that? A couple of the new scouts too...
Yeah, um, I kind of nabbed it. I'm quite happy I got him (thanks Verdiboy!), but I feel like I'm being a d*ck to MegaMoonMan this weekend by being Johnny-on-the-spot. Anyway, once everyone here gets hooked up with a set I am trying to get 1X of each for a cost + shipping sale to one of our TFW supporters in the UK. I stopped by a few stores while running errands. I stopped by the Maplewood TRU on the off chance they'd have a Ratchet and Arcee for MMM and anyone else who might be looking. Unfortunately not, but they did have Brakedown and the rest of that new wave. They weren't even in the computer yet as apparently the UPC has changed. Anyway, I nabbed him. A few others remain. Nothing exciting at the Maplewood Kohl's. Not surprising. The No. Saint Paul Target has 4x Mindwipes, 2-3x of which are on the end cap. Their Animated appears to all be on clearance at 30% off, including the Voyagers (Shockwave, Skywarp, 2X Blitzwing) which were not marked as such. One other thing. I saw this was noted in the Arcee feedback thread here, but I put some awful looking stress marks on her thumbs the first time I put the swords in and took them out. I don't know if I was doing it incorrectly, but I definitely did NOT exert unnecessary force. Anyway, be careful. I may have to see if the old hairdryer trick knocks the marks out. Oh, and toyfair. Henkei Thrust comes to the US. AWESOME!!! Hopefully Dirge will be next for us frugal folks. There are a few other neat looking items as well.

Wow...lots of news. Worst of it might be MP Grimlock being a TRU exclusive. That's bad only because they seem to refuse to clearance exclusives...and they tend to be more expensive. Oh well...guess I don't really need another, crown or not.
