Any sightings of masterpiece thundercracker ?

soundwavempl · 08-31-2012, 07:15 AM

MP Thundercracker has had sightings in Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio areas from what I have read on the TFW2005 Texas Sightings thread.

skywarrped and I did a major toy hunt this weekend in the north Austin and surrounding areas. We found 8 Sentinels (5 orange/purple and and 3 purple/silver) between 8 Ross/Marshalls/TJ Maxx stores). All the purple/silver ones were found at Ross, which also had some orangle/purple ones as well. We left one purple/silver at one Ross and another orangle/purple at another Ross. We bought the rest for us and fellow collectors (all spoken for). Here is our Sentinel stash:

I also must give skywarrped a shout-out for making me these awesome Multiple Man customs for an early birthday gift:

What did all those Sentinels cost ya if you don't mind me asking? I think the blue and purple ones look better imo

soundwavempl · 09-02-2012, 06:58 PM

The Sentinels are $24.99 at Ross and $29.99 at Marshalls/TJ Maxx.

Oh ok cool thx! Which color scheme is more rare?

soundwavempl · 09-02-2012, 07:17 PM

Up until today, I had only seen the silver/purple Sentinel at Targets, ToysRUs, and Walmarts when it came out last year after SDCC. The orangle/purple one has been showing up at TJ Maxx/Marshalls stores for the past month or so and I have only seen the orangle/purple one there. Yesterday was the first time I saw the orange/purple Sentinel at a Ross. Then today, I saw the silver/purple one at a Ross. Out of the 8 Sentinels I spotted this weekend, only 3 were the silver/purple one and they were all spotted at Ross.

Ross in College Station has the gold/orange/purple classic Sentinel for $24.99.

Bryan Walmart has 2 Classic Avengers and 2-3 Heroic Age Heroes sets.

The purple/pink classic colored sentinels are the more rare...as only now they were being put out at retail.

the purple/silver versions were/was available at retail in surplus.

target: westheimer and wilcrest had all of MU W18.

Any sightings of transformers prime dreadwing?

soundwavempl · 09-14-2012, 10:46 AM

I have yet to see Transformers Prime Voyager Dreadwing but he has been spotted in stores all around the state apparently. All I see are the Cyberverse Commander Dreadwing.

I hit Bryan Walmart and Target on my lunch break. Bryan Target had 1 of the Darth Maul/Nightsister/Savage Oppress Battle Packs and had MU singles on sale for $2 off - $7.99. Bryan Walmart got some more MU Comic Packs in. I picked up the Colossus & Juggernaut comic pack and left the rest of the case there (which includes 2 Iron Man/Manadarin and 2 Hulk/First Appearance Wolverine sets).

skywarrped · 09-23-2012, 09:46 AM

Wal-Mart on 620 near 2222 had 1 MU Absorbing Man for $5 and around 5-6 Wolvie/Mandarin 2-packs for $11. These were in the clearance section. In the regular section they only had movie toys and no MU.
Target on 620 & 2222 had some MU pegwarmers like Namor and Falcon. MU are still on sale for $2 off the regular price.

soundwavempl · 09-26-2012, 10:51 AM

College Station Walmart has about 2 cases worth of the latest Avengers wave. I saw 4 Nick Furys, 2 Black Widows, a couple Chitauris, and a couple Hawkeyes.

yea i got Dreadwing other day here in Kilgore Walmart...east Tx!! East Texas kinda sucks cuz I have yet to see any new Vintage SW figures. We never got Bastilla Shan, the female Mando, Starkiller, or Darth Malgus. :/ no new MU figures as of yet either. No Jubilee or anything like that.

I remember hitting the Kilgore Walmart in 2005 on the way back from Botcon. I recall getting the SW ROTS Shocktrooper variant figure there, as they had tons of that variant wave.

My Walmarts and Targets have been sucking here too, especially when it comes to Star Wars and Marvel Universe. The only place I have been finding vintage SW is HEB and Hastings. I never have seen the ones you have listed as well. I am hoping discount stores will stock those waves like they did with the AOTC wave last year. The only new MU stuff I have seen in my area have been the new 3packs with the Heroic Age Avengers and the comic packs with Hulk/Wolverine, IM/Mandarin, and Colossus/Juggernaut.

However, both Targets here have the Darth Maul Returns Battle Pack for $19.99. I picked one up at the Bryan Target here.

TRU in College Station has the exclusive glow in the dark Spider-man movie figures. There is also one X-men X-Factor 6 pack left as well.

tv4184 · 09-28-2012, 05:42 AM

Did a hunt through central Texas. Found Masterpiece Thundercracker in Harker Heights, TX and in north Austin. Found some storm and iron fist MU at Harker Heights Walmart on clearance and Wonderman Quicksilver comic pack there as well. Unfortunately went to too many places to remember. Now we're in Frisco so we'll be checking out some places up in the Dallas area.

Any interest in trading the Quicksilver?

The Bryan HEB off Villa Maria got the MU wave with Kang, Scarlet Witch, She-Hulk, Punisher, and FF Spider-Man. I got the Scarlet Witch and 1 of the 2 She Hulks and left the rest. I wanted to get Punisher but his paint apps were horrible (stupid paint wash). They also still have the First Appearance Wolverine vs. Hulk, Iron Man vs. Mandarin, and older comic packs.

Here is the location.
T.J. Maxx - River Oaks - Houston, TX

EDIT: Also he said there was another one at the TJ Maxx near the Galleria which he didn't buy.

That's a great find. Have they been spotted anywhere else around the state? Today I checked out the TJ Maxx at Lakeline Mall in Cedar Park, but they had nothing.
