Only ER figure on the shelf was astrotrain. Had any other ER stuff been there, I'd have probably grabbed them too, especially optimus.

Also picked up all 4 ER deluxes from the hilltop target in vb. If anyone goes looking for them, they won't be on the shelves, but they have one of each left in the back. I just happened to walk by as they were doing restocking. There's still full pegs of siege deluxes so they won't out out the ER yet. The stock guy was nice enough to let me grab the ER deluxes before he put the case back into the warehouse.

 

can you keep me posted if you see the battle masters (soundbarrier). well if they got Astrotrain that means they also had prime.

 

Will do. I may do some hunting Sunday, looking for the rest of wave 1. Both the pembroke and hilltop targets are on my way to work and I tend to hit those 2 stores several times a week.

 

I called in to midlothian Target and they had ER deluxes in the back. I got Cliff and Hoist, and presumably everything else is still there since there wasn't any ER on the shelves yet.

 

I picked up Earthrise Leader Class Prime at Potomac Yard Target. There were two Earthrise Astrotrains and 4 packs of earthrise micromasters.

With Cliff and Hoist in my posession, my next object of obsession is Grapple. I'll do some calling around tomorrow, see if I can get any targets to check their back for voyagers.

 

I know he's sold as a leader since he comes with his trailer, but once he's out of the box, what size is Optimus really?

 

Same as Voyager Siege OP.

 

Found Earthrise Wheeljack and IronWorks at Gainesville Target only 1 Ironworks was left after I got 1 of each. Now to find Cliffy and Hoist, ironically the two I wanted most.

Yeah, they're almost the same dimensions. I'd be interested to find out how many parts they actually have in common.

if you have twitter here’s a link where it’s broken down and quite interesting.

 

It’s about 90 percent of the blue parts. Ie the feet, blue parts of the legs, and the front of the head.

 

Nothing at Short Pump Target today. Inventory says Forest Hill, Libbie, and Midlothian have some.

 

Nothing at Target Mosaic.

 

Called Libbie, tried to find out if they had any grapples, used the DCPI, they couldnt find any. Dont know if they really looked in the back or not. Midlothian didn't have any yesterday. Might go check shortpump in person.


EDIT: Didn't say the update about Shortpump, thanks for letting me know. May as well hit Libbie then for Wheeljack if they got it.

 

He is the same size as voyager prime. That being said, the details and the paint are great. The matrix in his chest is small but well detailed and painted. I thought he was worth it and my wife said she thought it the best looking transformer that I have.

 

Libbie was a bust. They looked in the back and all they had was Siege.

 

Same with Far West Target. Want to call Forest Hill, lol?

 

I'm waiting on a call back from midlothian to see if they had more of wave 1. I wanted to save for Grapple but it seems no voyagers in richmond yet so I may as well get what I can now.
