Nothing to note of at Everett Target. They still have a bunch of MU...wave 3.

No worries CJ7. I see how my post could have been read the way you read it.

I am bothered a bit if Kicks isn't doing well, because the few times I went there it seemed like a decent store, but beyond that my only complain about Washington is that I can't go down and check up on stuff more often these days. The few times recently I've gone to Bellingham, has been when almost nothing is on the shelves. But at least I can see friends at the same time.

and get Jack in the Box. love that stuff.

Well, you can even ask the guys over at TFW2005, I've always been of the mindset that people in Canada that are having trouble catching up with some TFs should definately network the guys in the States. Is there anything you're looking for in particular? I'm in the WA northend, so meeting someone halfway to help them get stuff they may be having trouble finding is not too bad of a drive for me.

So, yea, if you need help; just shout out. And get a list together. I can either find exactly what you're looking for or I can at least point you to the better stores in WA; so you're not wasting a trip.

Thanks CJ7.

Luckily after winning animated Sunstorm on eBay last week, I'm pretty good for now. And from my last trip to TRU it sounds like we'll be getting movie stuff at the same time.

But I do appreciate the offer of keeping a eye open for me.

As much as I doubt there is going to be anything up here, that you (or anybody in Washington) would be worried about seeing Hasbro Canada isn't in the business of doing anything special up here nowdays. (Even our Joe stuff, that in the 80's would ship with Canadian flag stickers and such are exactly the same as you are getting at retail.) let me know and I'll make sure I post it for you guys.

Editor - Cool. Well the offer stays open to those that need help at any point. Do you happen to have any good shops for Beast Wars or G2 stuff up there? I'm always on the lookout for good MOC/MISB stuff from those two eras. And I'm always fine with foreign/tri-logo/whatever style packaging.

[Editor]

Not right now.

There was a good deal of beast wars stuff around about a year and a half ago floating around but it's dried up.

As for G2, that is an area that in these parts I haven't seen much of in years.

That said, I should be going on a run around to a few smaller places tucked into the local asian malls in the next couple weeks, and sometimes a few interesting bits pop up. I doubt i'll see G2 but there could be some Beasties in there.

Sightings (or lack thereof)

Lynnwood Walmart: Nothing in ROTF. They put out new Terminator stuff - more accurately it's new for them, but it's just the Wave 1 assortments.

Lynnwood TRU: Also nothing in ROTF - so much for a Preview wave release date. Nothing else much of note.

Lynnwood Target: The same as above.

BB.206 - PM sent.

[Cyberjet #7]

After seeing Star Trek for a second time, I went out to grab some of those figures. Before they get swept away by the juggernaut that will be the ROTF toys.

Lynnwood TRU: Nothing of note. Some MU Wave 3 revision asst.
***BB.206 - I can say this now because they're probably not all going to go anytime soon, but TRU had about four of the LeBron vinyl figures; probably more, because I lost count.

Lynnwood Walmart: Grabbed the last 6" Uhura, nothing else of note.

Lynnwood Fred Meyers: No ROTF stuff and nothing else of note.

Lynnwood Big Lots: Three different types of TF Universe 1.0 Scout class. Also *many* Robot Heroes - more recent Wave asst, the same stuff you can find at retail now. The only generic TFs they had were two of the Transmetal 2 Megs (still) - looks horrible for $12.99.

totally dude...miasboytoy up in Vancouver makes a trip down every now and then but a lot of us Washington guys help him out. I'm definitely going to start posting more often here on seibertron. Those mods at TFW2005 are total nazis...I'd copy/paste what they wrote me via PM but I'm sure that'll get me banished which would not be cool.

Anyways, wish I had something to report but nada in my neck of the woods today.

Regarding kicks, sorry to make it sound like they're going out of business... They might actually be doing okay but I just noticed the store is looking pretty run down and Jose hasn't been stocking like Sui Wai did. We'll have to give it a few months to see what happens. I'm sure this crappy economy isn't helping things out. I can speak for several of us who use to shop frequently at kicks... I remember when I use to spend an average of $200-300 a month on toys there but now it's more like $20 a month.

[Cyberjet #7]

I used to shop at Kicks, but now I mostly just hit TFsource.com. Reasonable prices, plus they do a great job with shipping things in very minty condition - which helps me as I tend to keep the Japanese stuff either MISB or MIB (even if I open some, the boxes are good for storage).

I think maybe Jose will stock more in the coming months so that he can ride the ROTF gravy train.

Anybody looking for anything right now? Seems like alot of people are just holding out for the ROTF stuff.

Welcome aboard to Seibertron.com, FuRiOus_StyLeZ!

Keep looking for those ROTF figures my fellow Seibertronians. Here's a preview of the figures I got my hands on this past week in the Chicago, Illinois area:
