The Energon Pub

I wish I knew more people on this board.

I was staring at 5 '08 BBs and 3 Arcees at Lynnwood this past weekend...

Are we still up for going to the movie on Saturday?

If I'm not crushed with homework this weekend I might some runs on Sat. morning.

Pleasure to make your acquaintence. I'm relatively new here, but I love meeting new people.

Don't worry about being bashful Cyberjet. If you spot something, go ahead and post it. Some crazed Hunter (I'm speaking mostly for my own sanity, can't vouch for anyone else's) will likely drive an obscene distance to get what he/she is after.

Speaking of which...
Mt Vernon Wal-Mart - Nothing but a few Real Gear.
Smokey Point Target - Nothing but the Titanium 6" Thundercracker that I posted about last week.
NOW they have nothing.
Marysville Wal-Mart - Same nothing as Mt. Vernon
Everett TRU - Robot Heroes marked down to $5.99
(Now I have Magnus & Regular Megatron)
Everett Target - They had 1 Air Raid and 1 Elita-1
Now they just have Elita-1. also
...and we have my post from late last night about the Everett Wal-Mart with (big shock) nothing but Real Gear.
The guy at TRU, if he is to be trusted, told me that their next load of stuff should be on Friday mornings trailer and is supposed to be pulled to the floor upon arrival. We got burned on a similar report from the Bellevue TRU so I would only check it out if you happen to already be nearby.
I have 2 more Lynnwood stores to check out but my car needs a chance to cool down before the engine and transmission decide to part ways.

No matter where, post 'em if you spot 'em. Gas prices be damned, if we want it bad enough we'll go get it! (btw, I'll be Hunting east of the mountains for Thanksgiving. This hobby doesn't rest for holidays.)

Hey guys I am really, really looking for target exclusive scout Elita-one. I managed to pick up armorhide and air raid but so far no luck with E-One.

I live in the southcenter area.

Thanks

I'll be picking up my check in Marysville at 8:00 Wed. morning then returning to Everett to cash it. I'll be going right by Everett Target where there was one Elita 1 left. If it remains, it's yours! You may have to wait a few days till I can get down that direction but the offer is there.
If you can find a Blue Arcee Scout class in that time, I'll just swap ya straight across. She's the last exclusive scout class that I am actively seeking.

T.

Well, my only problem is that by the time I post anything, they'll be gone. I was at Lynnwood TRU last weekend at opening and saw 5 BBs, BB.206 got there shortly after and he only saw 2 BBs - so they go faster than most can grab them.

I would have grabbed all 5 for people, but if I couldn't find homes for them my wife would kill me.

On side note, does anyone want to meet up at a store? I'll probably hunt Bellevue or Lynnwood this weekend. LMK.

^I might be going around the Lynnwood/Everett area on Sat. morning depending on how classes go for this week. I'll let you know Friday if I'm going to hit any places.

Hey Skyblast, I wish I had good news but E1 was gone by the time I got to Everett Target. I did find where someone had stashed a Leader Class Megatron, and thanks to my height I spotted where someone attempted to hide a G1 Jazz. I almost snagged it even though I have one but I figured if it was one of you guys hiding it you'd be pretty P.O.ed to find it was gone so I put it back. If it wasn't one of us Seibertronians and you want G1 Jazz, he's on the shelf above the TF's and slid slightly back. Since most Americans sterotypically dont look far above eye level, it should be safe for awhile.
I'll hit the Lake Stevens Target on my way up to the shop in a little while and see if I can find ya one there.

T.

BTW anyone finding a '74 Bumblebee can call or text me directly @ (425)314-7547. I'm going on good faith (and my bad-ass disposition) that folks won't use the # for anything other than it's intended purpose. It's my personal cell but gets used for everything and I try to keep it fairly open for work purposes but '74 BB is at the top of my "Purchase On Sight No Matter What" list, so I would rather find out the second someone spots it. Finding 2 would rock 'cause BB.206 needs one as well.

Wow, thanks for all of your help. It's good to know we are all looking out for one another!!

Well I guess I'll have to be patient and look in my area a little longer. I guess the hunt is half the fun anyway right?

T-Mack - if I see a '74 BB, I will definantly snag it for you.

Skyblast - if I see an Elita-One, I will definantly snag it for you.

Anyone else have anything they need in specific?

YEAH! if your in lynnwood tru or target, hide an 08 BB for me will ya

HEY! i was just wondering if anyone bought like 8-12 tformers at lynnwood target around 4:30 today. cuz i am on the quest for 08 bb and as i walked in there, there was a guy with about 9 deluxes in his hands, walking away. i could tell that there was a deluxe brawl in there. i was REALLY MAD. im sure the only 08 bb was in there GRRR

Anyone check any Walmarts lately? I wonder if our WalMarts are looking like the ones around the rest of the country.

If anyone sees a 13 year old with black, curly hair, sprinting towards the tformers section looking for 08 bb at 10am... thats me... PLEASE PEOPLE DONT TAKE ALL OF THE BB'S save them for me( or hide them) MWUAHAHHA

BOOYAH!

Skyblast - I got that Elta-one for you!
BB206 - I got that 74' Bumblebee for you too!

T-Mack, I know you were looking for the 74' BB too. I'll keep looking, I owe BB206 for finding a few things for me..

Anyone else looking for stuff?

Thanks Eddie! I appreciate it!

Dude are you serious...Elita One? Wow!!! Thanks!!! Which Target did you find it at?

When might you be free to meet up (is it Eddie?)? I'll be around all weekend and that's also when I get paid!!!

Thanks a million!!

no problemo!

i just wanted to do my part in helping out my fellow collectors

skyblast - i sent you a PM. have you checked out the renton walmart lately? i havent been there in awhile... just curious.

Nice Haul Rodimus Titan!!! Don't sweat it about the '74 BB, I'm just glad you were able to score one for BB.206.
I hit the Lake Stevens Target on the way to work and Everett Target on the way back. No Elita 1 (good thing you found one), but I did find the Blue Arcee I was after this evening at the Lynnwood Target. I also picked up Signal Flare at the Everett store which means I have the whole set EXCEPT for...Elita-1
That's o.k. because I also realized that after the taxes were taken out of my check (my first one in two years as an official employee for someone and not a business owner) that I overspent this last week. So, if anyone needs to round out their collection of Target exclusives, my two finds will remain unopened for a few days.
And if I come across somebody with an armload of Deluxes that can't identify himself as one of us Seibertronians, don't worry...the shelves will be restocked shortly thereafter

Lastly, and I hate to do this, but even if I return my two latest finds I will still need to generate some funds so I am offering *cringe, shudder* up for grabs an authentic, double sided, full size TF Movie Marquee Poster. It is the first poster in the series (Their War, Our World) with the big robot eye overlooking the Earth. It has never been unrolled and I drove 2 blocks with it from the place of purchase to a UPS store and bought a tube for it so it is in perfect shape. Price is $20.00, which is what I paid for it without the tax. I was going to build a diamond plate frame for it and get some clear plex so that I could mount it on a frestanding base so both sides were visible, but I'll have to try that idea summer of '09. It won't go up for grabs till saturday since their is a supplier I need to call first.
If I can replace with my next (substantially larger) check in 2 weeks, I will move the sale date up to friday.

Woodinville Target had the following:

FAB '08 BB x3
FAB Blackout x1
FAB Prime x3
FAB Megs x2
FAB Barricade x2
FAB Frenzy x2

Scout class Armorhide

If anyone needs those I can run back there today after work. LMK.

T-Mack - I didn't know you were looking for Elita-One also. let me see what I can do...

Hey Tony did you ever get a MP Skywarp?

I haven't been out on too many runs lately...(lack of money keeps me from active searching) but most of the time the finds are lackluster. Really I only have Rescue Ratchet, Thundercracker and Ultimate BB left.

On a good note though...I got my Lawson exclusive Gold Bumblbee in the mail from a staff member from japan. Looks very nice with my other BB's (Hasbro 78, Takara 78 and concept).

Hey Matt,

I should be picking one up soon. I'm still debating on whether it is worth getting two. I think I'll wait until my next pay check to pick one up.

Thanks again for your opinion.
