    Lancaster TRU: PCC cores are starting to gather dust. 3 swapped BBs, 2 Ironhides opened, at least 1 Jetblade opened... Everything else is still, as far as I can tell, unscathed. 4 Hook Primes, no Starscreams, no 5-packs, no Seaspray.

    Fruitville Pike Walmart: :lol

    Quick question: Has anyone else who has bought a Battle Blade Bee had trouble with his transformation? I have tried everything I can possibly do, but no matter what, it seems impossible for me to take him from vehicle to robot or vice-versa without his head popping off.

    The only shops that come to mind are Cash In Culture at Century III Mall and Groovy in the South Side. However, I think they would both tend to have older "vintage" stuff. YMMV. You could try calling both before actually going there.

    Nothing new in the Chambersburg/Shippensburg area. Same old same old.
    Planning on hitting TrU this weekend in the hopes of finding the only 2 PCC's I have any interest in, the new Legends and HftD Ironhide and BBBB.

    Supposedly, the Starscream and Seaspray I ordered are in Chambersburg's UPS facility, so hopefully they'll arrive soon.

    If you ordered them from TRU with the free shipping, they will probably be handed from UPS to USPS and add an extra day of delivery. Watch for the TENDERED TO LOCAL POST OFFICE status.

    Yeah, that happened with the last stuff I ordered. It actually added three days to the transit! Seriously disappointing. I stopped at the post office to check if they had it, and each of the three times I stopped, the package was 'out for delivery'.
    Ugh.

    Picked up PCC Combaticons and Huffer at Ross Park TRU. There was a Smolder and a bunch of HFTD stuff remaining including Leader SS.

    I used to live on McEntire (sp?), which is a five minute walk from that TrU. Glad to see it's still somewhat reliable.

    Just got an e-mail from my mother (yes, my mother), and in looking for birthday stuff for my daughter at TrU in Johnstown, she scored me a Huffer and a Legends Ravage!
    I loves me mum.

    Eides might actually be the best bet for finding those Futurama figures. Oh, or maybe New Dimension Comics at Century 3 and elsewhere.

    Well, I stopped at the post office and picked up my leader Starscream and Seaspray! At least that was a good thing.
    Going hunting locally and south on Saturday for BBBB, Ironhide and a few other things.

    OVM TRU had a bunch of the new Leaders (both), PCC two packs (all), all activators, one BBBB and Ironhide.

    Pfff... what do you think?

    Only a week or so into the new stuff being out and I'm already calling everything other than Thrust and Drift shelf warmers :lol

    Oh yeah, I tend to forget about Eides since their TF selection is not great. That would be a good place to check.

    New Dimension does seem to get in a fair amount of toys too. You could check Phantom of the Attic as well (there are several of them).

    Stopped at Montco TRU last night and saw the PowerCore Combiners for the first time. I don't think I could be less interested in them. They had a few of the Aerialbots 5-packs and 2 each of the 2-packs. They also had a few HFTD Leader Primes, deluxes, activators, and legends.

    Also, I've started a sale thread to try to raise cash to offset moving costs. Check out the links in my sig. I'm willing to meet up within a reasonable distance of Montco to eliminate shipping costs.

    Okay, so I've hit 3 TRUs in the PGH area and all of them seem to have only had the Generations Prime and BBs. Is there a case with just these two figures? That might have been for the WFC release? Or am I just too slow?

    Yeah, Prime and BB shipped by themselves ahead of the rest of the wave in a weird sort've attempt to launch alongside the game. Drift and Thrust are gonna be a long, slow drip into the channel.
