    What can I say, I'm the NYC version of Smokestreak. Although I'm kicking myself now... :stick:

    Went to TS TRU today and picked up a Shockblast. There are about 2-4 left I believe. The rest are Windchargers and Battle Raveges. No Wheeljacks.

    I went to TRU TS on a visit to see my old co workers and my good friend Dave saved me the last Wheeljack.

    Why did u import them? Thought NYC wasnt gonna get them early? I made a couple of those mistakes. TRU Times Square is starting to get stuff ahead of the other TRUs. I do part time for this other TRU in Flatbush, they only got Swindles and a Sliverstreak on the shelves

    UPdate at TRU TS:

    Just went today, as of this afternoon, they have restocked the Wheeljacks. I picked 1 one up along with Shockblast :D 

    Finalllllllllly I got the evil cyclopian leader. :rock 

    They have at least 3 more Wheeljacks and Shockblast/waves on the shelves.
    And maybe one Grimlock (if I'm not hallucinating).

    And there's 1 Wingsaber if anyone needs him.

    Yeah, I thought NYC wasn't going to get Wheeljack for a while. The Targets dried up and only had Swindles.

    Went to Atlantic Ave. Target today, they have a bunch of the new Universe Punisher-style Blastcharges.

    Everything else is the same (no new Alts), and billions and billions of Jedi if anyone is interested in the SW toys.

    Jeezus, I guess everyone is troopbuilding with the clonetroopers eh?

    Ebay:
    Clifton Park TRU had Alt Shockblast and Alt Wheeljack. I bought Wheeljack, but Shockblast is still there.

    Every other store (4 Walmarts, 3 Targets, 3 K-Marts, 2 K-Bs, 2 TRUs, 2 Boscovs) has old stock or bare pegs.

    Unfortunately no. I went to Dekalb Ave TRU today and there was nothing new. Haven't seen those guys in a while.

    It's also nice to see SideSwipe82 back. :D

    Dang, no luck bro. I went to the Times Square TRU and nothing. All the Wheeljacks and Shockblasts are gone too. They did get in the "new" deluxes with the Vol 4 Energon comic though.

    Elmhurst Target has 3 Windchargers and 2 Swindles.
