    I might be there both days. Will have to see. I'll call Wilson and we'll have the Asian connection thing going if I do.

    Your knee is going to be OK by then?

    LIC TRU has 3x messed up Alt Grimlock boxes. If you want minty boxed ones try the Queens Place Target, they put out like 4-5 cases of the Grimlock, Ravage, Swindle, and Windcharger assortment.

    They also have some Energon stuff in the clearance section.

    I don't think you have to worry, the other two could've been Grimlock. Decepticharge was supposed to ship with Wheeljack, Shockblast, and Ravage. Unless they started doing funky case ratios again.

    I was there too this evening :)  The Wheeljack was gone when I got there but Shockblast is still there. Still a healthy supply of all things Cybertron. :thumbs2:

    I was at TRU TS today as well. It was kinda weird seeing brand new Alt. Windcharger and Ravage figures. THey had a different tri-lingual packaging.

    That IS weird! I went to TS TRU about 4 days ago, so its no surprise the Wheeljack is gone.

    Is the Swerve as hard as people are making it sound? I have seen QUITE a few on ebay, but it sounds like it is also rare. Is it as hard to find as Meister was? Tracks?

    Went to a little KB Toys in my neighborhood in Flushing, and to my surprise I found Cybetron toys there, they even have King Starscream, the down side is that, as usual, they are about $5.00 over the TRU prices

    Ebay:
    He's non-existant in upstate NY. I saw Dead End 3 times, Meister 3 times, Hound 3 times, Shockblast twice, Wheeljack twice, Tracks once.

    Never seen Swerve at all.

    The Swerves are currently being scalped so that's probably why they're "rare".

    Also the Atlantic Ave Target started to put up the Cybertron stickers. I only saw the Ultras and 9x Swindles. They were kind of hidden behind a column. The A/C seemed to busted there too. yuck

    That sux. Not at all surprising though because of the idiocy that spawned limited Tracks and other alternators.

    Middletown NY:

    Found Alternator Wheeljack in TRU yesterday. I got the only one, but it is a good sign. These are the first new alts I've seen in the tri-state area in several months.

    Flush with the Cybertron toys in WalMart and especially TRU. Likely all over the tri-state area, as the nearby PA WalMart and KMart have had all the figs except the leaders.

    College Point TRU has 1 Swerve earlier this afternoon, I rearrange the boxes a bit so that it's more hidden for the TFW2005 board members. Good luck hunting!

    Queens Place Target had 5x each of Swindle, Ravage, and Windcharger. They also had a $5 Alpha Q in the clearance section. No Cybertron yet.
