    The sale is only at Times Square. They have all the Bruticus limbs as of Friday and they have the last 2 Constructicon limbs, and the first 2 Superion limbs.

    I'm not sure when they restock though.

    The College Point has a Cybertron Red Alert. I passed on him.

    TRU is having a 50% off sale. The one at Dekalb Ave had some $10 Reissue Thundercrackers. They also got in the Hard Tops, Clockers, and the new Cybertron minicons. It said Wave 2 05 on the case asst box though. Hmmm. They also got around to putting out some old stuff like some Energon deluxes and some RID!!! tiny tins.

    I was at TRU TS today as well. Picked up Vector Prime, overall a nice bot as part of my collection. Same old Cybertron stuff, fully restocked.

    THANK THE MATRIX I went to TRU TS today, found the only Swerve there :rock 

    It's like it took eons for me to find it :banghead: 

    There were a heck lot of Grimlocks, so I am guessing they stocked about 4-6 Swerves within 2 weeks

    Also got me one of those TFs RID Collectable Tins Mirage. It didn't come with instructions to transform it! :mad 

    If you're looking for Swerve, make sure you go THursdays at TRU TS, that's the day they restock items I believe.

    They also had a bunch of Reissue Silverstreaks, for $10 I THINK

    Awesome, more Swerves. Bad thing is the scalpers out there. Next thing you know, they appear on ebay and are declared "scarce" and "rare" with jacked up prices :mad:

    Dragstrip85, the last time you were at TRU TS, do they still have any combiners limbs on clearance? I saw a few a while back but they were all in c5 condition cards. Has anyone seen decepticharge yet? any more ALT wheeljacks or shockblast?

    I didn't take a glance at other stuff besides Alternators, Sideswipe, sorry, heh. :)  But Savage just mentioned there were a few left. Maybe there still is, even though i went Friday.

    my friend stopped by TRU bay parkway today and said he saw 2x grimlock, and 1x swindle. does that mean the missing one is Swerve? also cybertron Override x2.

    TRU TS has 10x grimlock, around 7x swindle, 2x ravage, and 2x or 3x windcharger. Nothing new.

    I just came from Target and they have nothing new. And dont expect Alts there anytime soon. They have a wall of Swindles. For you Star War fans, they did have Light up R2D2 (MINE!) and Zett Jukassa (MINE) and the Battle Arena set (MINE MINE MINE!!)

    For all you bargain hunters, one of the KB Toys (JC Penney side) in the Newport Mall (Jersey City) has a $30 black Energon Unicron. They also had the Energon Ultras at $18. The other KB (Sears side) has $10 Cybertron Hardtops if anyone gets that desparate.

    Hey Sonscreen, is there any places that still have Omega Supreme? The only place I know is Image Anime and they want 80 bucks for him.

    Yo giga. I haven't seen Omega Supreme or Sentinel anywhere. You might want to try the Junkion or even the dreaded Ebay.

    The Dekalb Ave TRU has 1x Hardtop left, 1x Alt 2 pack Smokescreen/Sideswipe, and 2x Alt Grimlock, 4x Swindles, and 1x Windcharger. Plenty of Tiny Tins, Cybertron first wave, and some Energon leftovers.
