We’ve received reports that the Dark of the Moon Leader Class has leaked out ahead of the May 15 street date. 2005 Boards member unmc2001 picked up Sentinel Prime at a Target store in Sun Prairie WI near Madison Wisconsin. We’ve also had reports of a confirmed purchase of both Sentinel Prime and Leader Class Bumblebee in Illinois – with picture proof from Deceptigtar! This purchase was also made from a Target, in Chicago this time.
As these are ahead of their street date they might be sitting in many store’s back rooms waiting for release – and if you see them there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to buy them! But if you do share the happy news in our Transformers Sightings forum.

Yeah, what the crap is up with that? They were cheaper when they weren't on clearance. I've seen this happen a few times that it just boggles the mind.

Oh man, my local Wal*mart stores have "clearanced" the G.I.Joe Rise of Cobra figures from $6.99 to the new clearance price of $9.99. For some reason, they've not moved for almost 8 months or longer. I just can't figure out why that is . . . .
Jokes aside, I think the new movie figures won't be hanging around quite as long as the RotF figures, but they're not going be to "rare" either.

my wal mart did not have shit
Scythe
Ohh, okay. I see what you mean. Same thing happened around me. A huge drought, then DOTM toys which I'm willing to bet will be there for a good while unbought. Except in my stores, those unbought bots will keep other toylines from coming since we have a small section as it is and it's still Toy Story 3 toys, Star Wars and Transformers. No Marvel, DC or anything else.

Had my pick of DOTM Voyagers at my local Walmart in Shrewsbury MA since Thursday night.
Snagged a Meggs, though I'm less keen on the custom project I had intended for him now that I have him in hand…

sh002
so all these crap stores that i go to that had a small selection of generations/rts/pcc are now going to have a lot of dotm figures? wow.

Toys R Us has Deluxes for $10.99 and Voyagers for $19.99, not sure about any of the other classes.

I thought so. Well, the reason I posted what I did is that for both of the previous two movies, we've had movie toys shelfwarm for a LONG TIME. This has been to the point that stuff really bottlenecks up and retailers stop ordering new things. There are quite a few things that never made it to retail stores here, and other areas. I could be totally wrong, but I think that we'll be seeing a lot of DotM toys for a long time, especially if the past is the best predictor of the future.
A part of me welcomes this, as we've had such a drought at retail stores here that it'll be simply good to see SOMEthing new on the shelves. I just hate that figures like Warpath and Grimstone don't get a good spread like other figures like Cybertronian Optimus and Bumblebee have.

As I posted in other thread, the TRU in bethel park pa, outside of pittsburgh has the new toys for sale now.
blugel
