Over the last few days, there have been numerous reports of new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys showing up at Targets along the west coast. Both the wave 4 (Ice Cream Skids and Mudflap, Jolt, Blazemaster and Dead End) and wave 5 (Arcee, Swerve and Stalker Scorponok) deluxes were found at stores in southern California. If that weren’t enough, the fifth wave (Long Haul and Grindor) of Voyagers and forth wave (Nightbeat and Ejector) of Scouts have been sighted at some stores.

The Target exclusive Bruticus Maximus has also started to ship. Christoph Prime of the TFW2005 boards found two sets at a Target store in Colorado. I have yet to see any of these toys in my neck of the woods, but its only a matter of time before they hit the entire U.S.

The Leader class Jetfire from the new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen movie has begun to show up at stores across the U.S. Along with an isolated report of him showing up at a Target in Louisiana, there have been numerous sightings at Wal-mart and Toys R Us stores in California.

Good news for those waiting for the new Transformers ROTF Human Alliance toys. Over the last few days, there have been numerous reports of people Human Alliance Bumblebee at Kmart stores across the U.S. Target also seems to be getting these in as there was an isolated report of someone finding a few at a Super Target store in Burnsville, MN. If you’d like to check the back stock at your local Target, the DPCI is 087-06-0292.

The new Star Wars battle packs have begun to hit stores across the U.S. While doing my rounds, I came across the Clone Wars Jabba’s Palace pack at the Super Target in Fitchburg, WI. The Scramble on Yavin set was no where to be found. However, there have been numerous reports of it showing up in stores.

While not scheduled to be put out until March 22nd, the new Target exclusive Animated two packs have begun to show up on store shelves. silentrob of the TFW2005 boards found Sunstorm/Ratchet and Shockwave/Bumblebee at a Target in Maineville, Ohio.

If your local Target hasn’t put these sets out yet, you can try to get them pulled from the back by using the DPCI 087-06-0105.

With the new Transformers movie only a few months away, retailers have begun to clear out their stock of Animated toys. This week, Target lowered the price of its deluxe class figures down to $8.99. While not as good as the pre-holiday prices, this is a lot better than the $12.99 that Wal-mart is charging. The sale runs until 4/6, but knowing Target, it could end at any time.

With the holidays behind them, Target has raised the price on a number of Transformer toys. While out doing my rounds, I noticed that the price of Animated deluxes and Bumper Battlers had been increased to $10.99.  The price of Voyager, Ultra and Leader class toys had also been raised to $21.99, $27.99 and $44.99, respectively. The price of Universe deluxes remain at $7.79, but its probably only a matter of time before they too go up in price.

And then there is Wal-mart… While they typically have the best price on toys, the retailer has decided to stick it to Transformer fans by charging a whopping $12.88 for Animated and Universe deluxes. So much for Walmart being the “low price leader.”

Update: Target has now raised the price of its deluxe class figures to $11.99. While not advertised widely, Universe deluxes are on sale for $7.79 until February 9th.

The fifth wave of Transformers Universe Voyager toys have begun to to hit stores in the U.S. col of the TFW2005 boards, found the entire wave at a Target store near Chicago, IL. The wave includes Inferno, Leo Prime and Overload.

The first wave of G.I. Joe Mighty Muggs has begun to hit retail. While doing my rounds this morning, I found Duke, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and Cobra Commander at the Super Target in Fitchburg, WI.
