    Latham farms Walmart had X2 CW prime and a Silverbolt
    Latham Target is still wrecked as usual
    and Colonie TRU still has 90% of what it did when AOE came out.
    RID figs are not moving at all there and neither is anything else related to AOE and the generations scoop and rattrap wave.
    I went in looking for CW Megatron seeing that someone bought them from this store and as soon as I said people have bought it from the store ALL the employees started getting offensive towards me saying that it hasnt even been on the east coast yet.
    then the truth came out about one of the managers being an avid tf colector...so if your looking for tfs that are new I would suggest going to clifton park where the cases possibly will make it to the shelves instead of being bought from the back.

    Yes, I found out a month or so back that one of the managers is a big TF fan, and that he got really excited when Combiner Wars hit the store, So I have pretty much given up hope of finding anything new there.

    The CP TRU had a collector working there back in the day - when MP Grimlock came out the first time. Same attitude and BS about how 'nothing has been seen on the East Coast' and 'it doesn't come out for another month.' I stopped going there for a while, knowing that the douchebag made visiting pointless.

    CP got better over time and it sounds like Albany got worse. Either that, or the same douche transferred stores.

    For those who want them, CW Silverbolt, Motormaster, OP, Bombshell, Powerglide, and most of the limbs that are out are available on Amazon for regular price. Great deal if you have Amazon Prime.

    Ithaca NY has pretty much everything for RID, but only combiner wars was a set of Thundercrackers and Windchargers. I really hope I find Silverbolt before too much longer.

    Just a heads-up for the Rochester area people -- the next toy show @ Village Gate is this Sunday, March 15th, 10am-4pm. Admission is free, and there's always fun stuff to look at/buy. <3

    Anybody near/around Henrietta know if there is anything that might be worth picking up or would it be a waste of a trip?

    If you're referring to a gray 5th Gen Camaro with silver stripes and Autobot symbols, that's mine. I don't work there. I just shop there.

    This one i don't think had stripes, black wheels, it's always on the side of the building where I park. Just curious as a car guy lol. I also met a guy one day there looking for Gi Joes driving a newer black Porsche.
