    I don't think the aerialbots are out in any KBs anywhere. The trains are the current wave.

    KB in Crossgates Mall, Albany has Universe Snow Cat and Universe Downshift.

    No new toys at any major seller (Target, Wal Mart, K-Mart) in at least 3 weeks.

    Heads up:

    On today's Daily News newspaper, they included a TOYS R US flyer, there's a new special this week of Oct. 9th:

    Buy $19.99 or more worth of TF figures and get a FREE Scout Class Cybertron figure of your choice.


    Sounds nifty. Might go sometime later in the week since I'm broke. :(

    That sale's online too. I just ordered the Vector Prime/Starscream set, with a free Armorhide, free shipping, $37.92 with tax. Use coupon code RTVPSTGEFBDE.

    They don't have much in the way of Alternators, though. Maybe I can score a Prowl at TRU TS this week...

    Hey Guys I FOUND decepticharge and Prowl at Bay Parkway TRU tonight. I went around 7 pm and they had 2 fresh cases of new ALTS. 2xprowls, 2x decepticharge, 2xwheeljack, and 2xswindles. I grabbed 1 prowl and 1 decept. Have fun.. I think the new case assortment is swindle, prowl, decept and wheelj. Plus I got 2 scouts free. :)

    Went to Dekalb TRU and they have nothing new.

    At the 86 street, 5th Ave. KB in Brooklyn, I saw 1 Mystique left for you Sentinel fans.

    Decided to pass since I need funds for Alts.

    New York City Stores with Transformers

    Hi folks, this is a work in progress for stores that carry Transformers in the New York City area. This list is intended for poor schmoes like me that don’t have a car and rely on public transportation. This will be updated when I get a chance.

    Elmhurst Target can be reached via the G,R,V to Grand Ave Newtown. Walk along Queens Boulevard. It's next to a Citibank.
    For the Whitestone Target, take the 7 train to Main Street and transfer to the Q20A. Make sure it's the Q20A and not the Q20B.
    Jersey City Target. Take the B,D,F,R,V to 33rd/34th St. and take the Journal Square Path train one stop to Pavonia/Newport. Walk along Washington Boulevard past the Chase buildings. It's another $3 round trip but you only pay 3% sales tax there!
    Target in River Plaza (the Bronx -- 1 Train to 225th Street

    Toys R Us
    Times Square
    Long Island City
    Dekalb Ave
    Bay Parkway - Take the D train to Bay Parkway
    Bruckner Plaza TRU (East Bronx in Soundview-- Bronx bound 6 train to Parkchester and transfer to Soundview bound BX36 bus

    WalMart
    Q5, Q85

    KB
    Herald Square
    Flushing

    KB Toys - Broadway, 86th st. on the 1 train. Located between 88th and 89th streets.

    KB Toys - Central Plaza in Yonkers. Take the 20 Beeline Bus from Bedford Park Blvd. in the Bronx (Train 4) to Central Park Ave. It's noticeable when you see the stores around there, especifically MACY's store, where you'll get off.

    Thanks Dragstrip85!

    Great job Sonscreen. This helps out a lot. Though you might want to add other 2 KB Stores in the list that are also close to the city and in the city.

    Yah, went today as well...just a billion Swindles and Grimlocks. Saw 1-2 Wheeljacks, Swerve I didn't see.
    Still hunting for Prowl and Dragstrip.

    But there's 3 Vector Prime/SS packs (I picked up 1 today:) ) I'm glad I waited.

    Went to TRU's by Stony Brook, NY.

    Found:
    4 Wheeljacks
    2 Swindles
    1 Battle Ravage

    1 Decepticharge (bought)


    They also have 2 full sets of GI Joe Sigma Six Figures on top.
    4 Ninja Cycles
    2 Duke's Blaster


    Edit.
    Oh I'm not a big Cybertron fan but I think some of you guys might like this.

    They have Vector Prime / Starscream 2-packs for sale. And they have a TON!
