Walmart, Target and TRU questions

[duh_prez]

Hey peeps! My holiday to Florida's really creeping up on me now so I've come for some advice please I'll list a few questions I have. ANY help given would be MUCH appreciated !

 

1. Any sales on at the moment?

 

2. I'm mainly interested in picking up as many alternators as possible, with a splattering of other stuff. Possibly the RID "devastator" repaints if they're still about, maybe even BW10th figures, but I'm not sure if they're out - where would be the best place to start?

 

3. Walmart & Target online are listing G1 graphic novels... any idea if these are available in store, as the sites don't ship over to the Uk.

 

Thanks a bunch fellas, much appreciated #US1#

I don't think the graphic novels are in ALL stores, only a select few. As far as Alts, Target and Walmart have a good selection of new ones up to OP, plus all the new Cybertron goodies and Target has a great sale on the U. Devastator sets as well as Energon bonus packs. Both stores I've seen the new BW 10th ann wave 2, Target has wave 1 is on sale for 8 bucks. The sale will probably be over in a couple of weeks though. TRU usually gets stuff late around here but lately they've been the ones who've had all the hard-to-finds, Nemesis Breaker and such, also they are a good source for older Alts like Shockblast.

So when are you heading to Florida and where?

 

I'm heading down there for vacation in Mid July to Ft. Lauderdale. I just hope no hurricanes come along while I'm there!

[Cobra Command]

Yeah, I live in Fl. but want to Vacate elsewhere.

[Stevy Maximus]

Some Target stores MIGHT still have some of the Universe Devastator set, but mine moved them pretty quick at $11, so your mileage may vary

Orlando dude But looks like I'm gonna beat ya to the bargains as I'm giong this month!

 

While I remember - are the micromaster combinors still in stores? And has alt Prime surfaced properly or is he still in the "occasional sightings" stage?

 

Cheers for the replies everyone #US1#

To find the micromaster sets, you'll have to go to KayBee Toystore's for those. They are one of the few retailers selling them. You may only find the trainbots though. If you want older micromasters like devastator or defensor check tfieds, I got them for sale right now. #US1#

[duh_prez]

ahh Kaybees, nice tip, I know where a few of those are but would never have thought of looking cos I thought they were TF-less. Cheers

 

I keep seeing pictures of stuff in Universe packaging... we don't have any in the Uk which says to me it's either old stock or the US has more than I thought. Anybody know what is currently out under the Universe banner please?

Kaybee still has a lot of old Universe figures out, however I beleive Universe has been discontinued, with the last of the waves as the Target exclusives. The new micromasters are being sold under the Cybertron banner. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure of it. Oh, and I checked a local KB and they still have micromaster devastator too, they ALWAYS have good prices, I got Energon Galvy for 24.99.

They still have micro devs? deary me, he's even been out over here! That mean there's a chance they may still have other micromasters (defensor/superion/train dudes etc) ?
