    Lol I knew you were a tfwer! Lol, yup that was me. I was scoping for clearance Iron Man stuff for my nephew. Also, nothing new at Burnsville. This better not turn into another wild Arcee hunt. Oh and also, add me to list for an Animated Ironhide if you could oh keepers of the spread sheet.

    I got a $25 TRU gift card for my birthday. WfC Prime and Bumblebee are now mine... which unfortunately means I will now have to get Megatron, Soundwave, and whatever other figures from WfC show up.

    Nice! Happy B-day! I picked up WFC Prime which I was pleasantly surprised by, I still don't like the alt mode but at least the transformation was enjoyable and I keep 'em in bot mode for display anyway. I don't have BB because I don't really like the bot mode, although I kinda like the alt mode, maybe on a sale some time down the road.

    I kinda figure it was you, as others discribe you for being tall....

    I work in retail and I know when we order stuff, we usually get it the following week....I wonder if tru has that power to order what they want...I'm saying we usually get things when chicago trus get the new stuff...like a week after...but this is crazy, the entire midwest has roddi and ironhide, but we don't...wtf? Anybody knows why?

    Yeah that's usu the case, but not as of late. MN TRU has been lagging a bit but it'll all show up eventually. I'm probably wrong but I don't think Rody and Ironhide will be as hard to find as Arcee and even she started showing up later on. Folks are probably just snatching up all the TFA exclusives because it seems like the line is ending but who really know.

    If it's true they pack 5 Rods to 3 Hides, that will help matters much...

    I want our Rodimus/Hides (Rodihides?) too but -- if it's any help, from the Joe end, TRU Bloomington just got in the first wave of those figs last weekend. My humble little Target had them since 1 Aug.

    Yesterday I was at that toy shop in Camp Snoopy (sorry, that'll always be its name in my mind) and they had one animated Blitzwing left. Very pricey at $24.00 but he was there.

    Anyone else jonesin' for the next Generations wave? I keep seeing tons of Thursts, Drifts, and WfC Primes and Bumblebeees and hoping to see WfC Megatron or Darkmount now....though Dirge and Red Alert are a bit more of wants for me right now...

    When did they say Generations Jazz, Tracks, and those other guys shown at Botcon were slated for release?

    They just had a blanket date of "spring" for all of them. It'll be at least a couple of months before we see preorders past the Dirge/Blurr wave 4. Hopefully sooner!

    I really look forward to wave 2 and beyond.

    I am worried that the glut of wave 1 Generations will slow down our market and prevent some or most Targets from setting out new waves. I missed out on NEST Brawn because of slow sales.

    I haven't seen any real decrease in the numbers of wave 1 anywhere in the south metro. Even the Burnsville TRU had a Thrust and Drift in stock, so I think the initial sales for the wave have dropped.

    Anyone else see/predict wave 1 peg warming?
