I still haven't seen them yet, although I've heard they are out.

But no luck.

BINGO! Just got them today from Target. Finally!

Hopefully this means they'll be out on a more regular basis. It seems the TFs gradually make their way from the US West coast to the East coast, so be on the lookout Ed. They should be headed your way soon.

West coast to east coast? Dude, I'm on the NW coast (Portland, OR) and I barely EVER see any new transformers. I saw the transforming shark the other day, and some of the gattai-ing robot parts (...whazzis name?) and that's IT. I have yet to see ANY new alts or anything...life is rough... :-[

;D It's cool man, no offense taken.

That was always the impression I've had. Most of the time when I'd hear of new TF sightings, it usually was coming from people further west (I'm in New Orleans). But you know, my friend Josh is in Oregon and he pretty much has the same luck finding new ones as you, so maybe it's just the stores around that area. Who knows?

Oh well, good luck in future hunts.

I lucked into mine when I got sent to Phoenix for training...it came down to food $$$ vs Grimlock/Swoop...but it was my last day there and I could always eat when I got home ;D I haven't even seen any in the Bay Area...

I'm down to just a few pieces to feel like my collection is COMPLETE, complete enough for ME anyway! So if anyone is selling, or knows someone who is selling their Jumbo Machinders of Tetsujin or Leopardon I promise to give them a great home

Drop me a PM

The weird this is, people in the east AND the west usually don't have that much luck in TF searching, mainly because of Hasbro's weird distribuition center, i.e. smack-dab in the middle of the US...why they don't have other centers I don't know...

When you have popular figures they make their own short supply...... Distrubution is lacking
