    In case anyone is interested, the Hamburg Walmart had Kre-O's on clarence. Optimus was only $30, Megatron and Starscream were $20, etc. Not sure if this is for all Walmarts or just that location.

    Hit up Westbury Target last night after dinner. I picked up a 75% off HA Leadfoot. They also had a Rachet. Should still be there, at least I hope so

    Hi folks,

    My brother is visiting NYC toward the end of May from the UK, and I'm sending a Transformers shopping list with him. As far as I know, he's stopping at the Hilton New York, in midtown Manhatten.

    What are the chances of him picking up some Transformers Prime RID Deluxes and Voyagers in that area?

    I'm after:

    Arcee
    Ratchet
    Knock Out
    Vehicon
    Voyager Megatron
    Voyager Prime

    Also, what are the price points for these guys in this area?

    Thanks in advance for your help with this!

    they have a shit ton of bumblebees like everywhere else... voyager megatron and optimus are available as well... but do not shop at TRU... they price gouge everything... go to target or something...

    IN nYC.. sigh.. lol.. u outta towners/foreigners... nyc is prob the worst place to go.. HOWEVER.. you can find some if u are SUPER LUCKY.. and if you actually do before me i'll hunt you down and steal them from you~ jk..

    NYC Toys r us Times square - you'll find... voyagers optimus nd megs there. but they are over priced alittle.. prob wont find anything else.. if u do ur extremely lucky that stocked that day then..

    For cheaper prices, go to Kmart - 32nd street at penn station or 8th near st. marks.. they have little supplies there but its a couple dollars cheaper..

    Image Anime might have some stuff on 30th btw 7-8thave. BUT. its hella expensive there too.. cuz its a imported/private owned japanese store..

    for fun u can go to forbidden planet near union square 14th st.
    st. marks comics.. near saint marks... then mid-town comics.. near 38th? not sure. look that up... not alot of TF's there but just fun to look around

    Thanks for the info!

    Price isn't really an issue as far as Toys R Us is concerned, as a deluxe over here retails at £12.99, and I would assume its about $12.99 over there?

    Based on the conversion rated, that's almost half price for me.

    Deluxes are more like $16-$18 at TRU, $13-15 at KMart/Target. Outside the city varies between $9 and $13.

    Checked out everything you suggested. My son loved each store. Bought a whole lot of non-TF books and toys. The seacons were still at FP! :p

    Yeah, I think they wanted $90 or something for it, I suspect they'll be hanging out there a while. Anyway I'm glad your son liked it, hope you enjoyed our fair city as well!

    Lake Grove TRU has 1 of each PRiD Ratchet and Arcee on an endcap, and 1 of each Wave 2 Bot Shots Mirage and Clear Bumblebee in the normal aisle. I already grabbed Bot Shots Brawl and Ratchet.
