    Target in Glassboro/Sewell/ Pitman (I'm not sure which) had Generations Thrilling 30 Starscream (Armada), Skywarp, Scoop, Minicon team for $14.99?! Really Target?! Guess that when I do have money I'll get them from either Walmart, TRU or online.

    Zilcho at TRU on Rt 4 and 17. Well, 17 had the YOTH Starscream, but I don't think anyone actually cares.
    Target Rt 4 was empty - Not a joke, they had a few Legends but mostly Beast Hunters strewn all over. Arcee, Skylynx, the usual figures.

    Guy at Rt 17 TRU said they are getting stuff in on Saturday, but didn't know if it was anything new.

    My guess is the new stuff is slowly being delivered from South to North... so hopefully by this weekend we'll see some new figures.

    What the hell happened to wave 3 (Skids, Waspinator)? Did anyone ever see them in NJ?

    Really? I checked Secaucus and Totowa TRU, and Clifton Target pretty regularly after Black Friday and I never even saw a hint of them. This is like looking for First Edition Prime.

    I feel like I saw them once during January my TRU, but that was it. Didn't last long. Probably got bought up.

    I guess I shouldn't be surprised. This is just like when rush to get the ROTF line on shelves made the Reveal the Shield super scarce. Looks like Hasbro is already bumping stuff to make way for AOE. Sucks for dedicated collectors.

    I saw them frequently in my area midway December and January. I haven't got out much because of the snow recently so I can't say if they are floating here still.

    I saw remnants of that wave once in Delran(?) Target, once in Burlington TRU. Picked up one Skids, passed on a Dreadwing because it was $3 more than my BBTS preorder... which still hasn't been filled. [​IMG]

    TRU Secaucus has the Minicon/Skywarp wave. They also had a couple of YOTH Starscreams left though one looked like a return.

    Whomever stole the Black Cat, Carnage, AIM Soldier Marvel legends figures as well as several WWE figures from the Deptford Wal-Mart better NEVER show their face in that store again.... I was there when the DISTRICT manager was in the toy aisle with 2 police officers this afternoon. The manager was on his walkie talkie demanding the video surveillance footage be pulled. Dude was HOT!

    Needless to say, no transformers of note there....

    WOW, not cool...Don't really know what those things are, but I'm sure they weren't worth stealing (would have to be at least 5 million for me to even think about it LOL)...The nerve of some peoples children...Heck, maybe thats why everything in Deptford is so expensive.

    And yet when people repack the incorrect product can sit there for weeks.

    Not a new thing, but Flanders Walmart has those huge $60 Beast Hunters Optimus on clearance now for only $10. Maybe about a dozen there. Wasn't going to pass that up. They've gone from their initial $60 to $40 to $25 and now $10.

    Also, saw a Waspinator at the Cedar Knolls Walmart yesterday. They're in the middle of inventory, so the shelves were pretty bare otherwise.
