Got thru some stuff. On my feet. Looks like this year has turned out pretty decent.

How about you?

Oh I'd been though a hell of a lot. Had some major family issues, financial and health setbacks. Things have been good lately though.

Yea, I hear that. Sounds like you might be thru it, though.

Yeah it mostly is. Things are looking up. What are you collecting these days?

Excuse me while I jump in here but I just wanted to say YAY there ARE some WA collectors still active here.

Hot Toys: 1/6 Avengers, Star Wars figures
Sideshow: 1/6 Star Wars figures
Lego: Star Wars, LOTR/Hobbit, Harry Potter, CMF, various others
Action Figures: NECA, Bridge Direct Hobbit, various others

And other random things as they come up.

What about you?

Yeah I haven't been on here in awhile nutimus.

Cyberjet, I am mostly collecting prime and masterpiece stuff. Still need to find another mp prime to replace the one I have that's busted out of the box.

If I see an MPOP, I'll snag it for you.

I appreciate that. Pm me, for you want for details. I'd have to be able to return the one I have. They will only give me store credit since I bought it on toysrus.com

Rarely, most of us are on the other site most of the time. But I will lurk over here every now and then. The admins over here really need to clean up the sightings forum.

And What up Cyberjet. Hope you still lurk the other site.

I'll contribute to sightings, two 1st Vehicons at the Puyallup TRU around 4pm today. Nothing at the Target at the South Hill Mall.

Hey what's goin on, man. Yea, I check TFW every now and then - are the mods there still toolbags?

Oh, so as I used to say back in the day - if anyone is looking for anything, shout it out and I'll keep an eye out. I still know some of the secret handshakes, hidden stashes, and general goodies of the northend.

Any of you guys in the south sound? Theres a guy selling TF stuff on craigslist in Lynnwood. He seems nice, wonder if its any of you? lol

I switched from NECA, Gears of War, etc. stuff and started collecting TFs a few months ago so Im trying to complete the PRiD line before Xmas for my daughter and me to share. So if you still see some of the harder to find ones please PM me and maybe we can meet? I still need Wheeljack, Arcee, Knock Out, Vehicon, Dead End, Kup and Rumble. May have to resort to ebay for Dreadwing if I cant pay a guy on here fast enough Then Ultra Magnus, Thundertron and Skyquake if I ever find them at retail.

Guy here told me he spotted some PRiD at Walgreens. So I went there and found Airachnid the other day and was stoked. My daughter loves Blackarachnia and purple so I know just what to do with Airachnid.

Ah perithimus, just found out after some digging. Youre the craigslist guy I was referring to lol.

Wow, have to admit, after looking through the "other site" I realize theres a very healthy WA population versus here. Im going to have to sign up, get to know some of you guys and get in on the helping each other out action.

Yeah I got a few microns for sale on there. There are a few more ads up that are not me though.

Yea, you will go through some rookie hazing, but we have a solid group over there that is pretty active most of the time. Introduce yourself over there, there are a lot of us on the South End who hunt pretty regularly, and try to have meetups about 4 times per year.

Yea, there's a good crew over there. Just don't forget to offer up some sightings reports there before just walking in and asking. You gotta give alittle to get alittle.

Lynnwood TRU: GDO Deluxes all of them x2 or 3 each, including Wheelie and Swerve who I think are hard-to-find. ML Big Time Spidey. Loads of The Hobbit figures - at least 15 each of the 4" figures and one set of the 6" figures. No MPOP.


Considering Bridge Direct isn't going to release wave two of The Hobbit action figures till next year (rumor has it Spring), I think I'm mostly going to just stick with Legos, Weta, and Noble Collection Hobbit stuff. Unless HT gets the license...

Most of you guys seem to be north of me. Im down in Olympia. Seems like scalper territory down here. Maybe Im just being pessimistic because Im missing the last of the Prime line I wanted to get for my daughters Xmas.

I read backpages on the TFW sightings thread for about an hour or so just to start recognizing names, locations, etc.

Where do you guys usually meet, what do yall do, etc.?

Olympia TRU: 4 MP OP cases came in on Monday. Probably gone already. :/

Most meetups have been in the Seatac area, with the last one (that I didn't attend) in the Covington area. It is kind of a middle ground. Sometimes people bring their extra stuff to sell, we exchange loot we have for other people, and just BS (not just about Transformers). Just gives us a chance to geek out every few months. Washington probably has the best TF base of people in the collecting community (I think our thread is the most posted in on TFW).

There is one person in the Oly area who posts every now and then, and some of us venture down there if there is something that we really want, but the furthest south a decent amount of us are is the Puyallup/Tacoma/Lakewood area.

What Prime figures are you still looking for? Kmart is a good place for the last wave, though they are overpriced.

I know Id have to work and prove myself to the other members but its still nice to see how you guys will grab something for someone and hold it until they can meet up and pay. I dont have any friends down here that collect TFs. A good friend works at the huge comic shop here but they dont really stock TFs and the prices she has to charge are terrible. :/

I just had to drive to Isaaquah to exchange my 360 at Costco. What a crappy drive that was lol. But Im still curious about the whole thing. Seems fun.

The Big K-Mart here closed down a year or 2 ago. I found a few figures I needed at a Walgreens. I never did find Dreadwing and Im hoping to find Ultra Magnus and Thundertron soon. She loves Ultra Magnus. Deluxes I still need Wheeljack, Arcee, Knock Out, Dead End, Kup and Rumble. My OCD wants them without the DVD because the rest I found dont have it. But I started buying them for her a bit late for that now lol.

Lynnwood TRU: GDO Deluxes x4 or 5 each, Megs x2. No MPOP. SW TVC Aayla, Wedge, and Evazan. TMNT Metalhead x3.

Everett Target: MU Beta-Ray, Kang, She-Hulk, Kraven. SW TVC Hoth Luke, Death Star Trooper. Lego Polybag Batmobiles in the X-mas section.

Lynnwood TRU: TRU Exclusive NECA Rocky and Assassin's Creed two-packs.

Hmm... maybe I should stop posting finds. I think it's quite dead here considering the competition from the other site...


Lynnwood TRU: Nothing of note.

Everett TRU: GDO Megs x4, Hotspot x1, Powerdive x1. Packaging condition is alittle rough, but that's because they survived Black Friday. Props to those brave bots getting man-handled by all those soccer-moms.

I still check this thread, I just haven't found anything of note. I'm still around.
