The Energon Pub

Wal Mart Bonney lake had a ton movie deluxes. I saw 2 74 bumblebees. There is one 20th aniv Optimus Pime. I snagged me a Voyager Jetfire and Grimlock from the classics line. They had a ton of the movie stuff there as of today.

Walmart in Puyallup also had a TON of the Wave 2 stuff, no Bumblebees left, but everything else from Wave 2. Also had 20th Prime still.

Problem is that I am done with my set (although I may pick up Rescue and T-Cracker if I see them), but am looking for 25th Joes for my cousin. Not sure if anyone is into those, but if anyone has any leads on restocks of those in the southend(still need to find him Flint, Officer, Beachhead, and Enemy) or leads on T-Cracker and Ratchet, PM me. Sorry for posting something mainly about Joes.

Fred Meyers Bonney Lake had em (25th aniv. Joes.) They had the GIJoe and Cobra sets. 4 of each.

What is the DCPI # for the Evolution 2 pack?

as of a yesterday some were on the floor at Federal Way Target...maybe they are all gone?

Forgot to mention this, Costco Puyallup had the Ultimate BB for $69.99 as of yesterday.

I know I posted this in the thread about the BB Evolution release date being changed, but if there is a specific date that a product is supposed to hit the floor and Target releases it even 1 day before that time AND should happen to get caught by a Hasbro Rep. then Target Corp can kiss all it's exclusives goodbye and get fined up the...
Anyway it would really suck for Target. My Mom, who retired from the Lynnwood store this last year, had to deal with a lot of stuff like this and had a hell of a time getting it through to the younger employees that while they may be doing the customer a favor, they are putting the store at risk and their own job as well. So, if you get someone who isn't willing to help you out with finding the 2 pack, now you know why. The Distribution centers may have sent the product to the stores but that doesn't mean that the stores are authorized to let it hit the floor yet.
This is why I started snagging the last of the Target exclusives regardless of the damage to my wallet. If Target gets caught these really will be the last of the Target exclusives.

Did a late mini run today at Renton Walmart, Southcenter TRU and Target.. Same stuff as repored by Skyblast yesterday. Picked up a Frenzy FAB at TRU, they have 3 more if anyone is looking for them. Anyone else come across Rescue Ratchet or Thundercracker?

Air Comander Starscream - Thanks for the info on the metallic BB. Wish I knew about these when they first got announced

Man very disappointed . I called two Targets this evening with the dcpi number (thanks to RodimusTitan) for repaint starscream and was informed by employees from both stores that it had been discontinued. What?

I guess now ebay is the only way? I never even saw a ss repaint even once. This time I'm going to make sure Thundercracker and Rescue Ratchet do not elude me. No luck with them so far.

The Lakewood taget had a bunch of ecclusives in when I went saturday. I got 5 of them and that didn't even make a dent. they had atleast 8 g1 jazz's, 2 leader brawls ans I'd say about 30 exclusives when I left.

Forgot to mention, Woodinville Costco has the $70 Ult. BB plus "3 fig., as well. Still, no where near worth it.

As for the Target Starscream, I have not seen one since the first week they came out. I was lucky enough to get both the G1 Jazz and SS at least a week before they came out with the DPCI.

I do have to say that stores will always get exclusives, whether people get them early or not. I've collected enough Star Wars and Transformer exclusives to know that these things reach Ebay sometimes a month before the store, yet Targets and Walmarts still churn them out.

It's huge money for them - stores buy these exclusives from Hasbro for next to nothing; and what they don't sell here, they can toss overseas.

Just my opinion...

forgot to mention that i took advantage of the 25% off and free shipping from hasbro.com and picked up a deluxe dropkick for a whopping $7.49 and free shipping!

check back on their site often.. there are times when alot of the figures 'show out of stock' but i know for sure they refresh at least once a day. this morning they had leader megatrons and voyager starscreams in stock (gone now). i had a chance a couple of days ago to get more deluxe 08 BB's but i passed since i got my hands on the target exclusive BB's

Oh man, I needed a Leader Megatron for $33. Thanks for the heads up Eddie.

No prob! Hope they have more leader Megatrons for you. It would be sweet if they had Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker.

wishful thinking...

If they dont have any more Megatrons...I hid one behind the Ulitmate BB's at the Lynnwood Wal-Mart.

Also at the Lynnwood Wal-Mart they had a HUGE restock, I haven't seen the shelves that filled since July. THey had 3 Brricades, 5+ Swindles, 5+ Wreckage, 5+ Bonecrusher, 3 or 4 Brawls..and maybe a few others. They had like 2 or 3 Voyager Megatrons, the Leader Megatron I hid (thinking Tony needed one). They also had RR Frenzy and Jazz. As of 12:10AM.

Lynnwood area as of last night at 8:00pm

Walmart: Multiple Jazz, Barricade, Swindle, Bonecrusher, and Wreakage

Target: Multiple FB Jazz, Longarm, Payload, Dropkick, Arcee (2), and other Wave 1 Deluxes

TRU: A few Wave 1 Deluxes

Fred Meyers: Wave Deluxes, 2 CCBB (if anyone still needs those)

Looks like the area's getting a pretty decent push for the impending DVD release.

Leader Megatron available on Hasbro.com as of 8:19am! Don't forget to use 25FALL as the promo code to get 25% off and free shipping!!

HURRY!

Thanks Matt and Eddie for looking out for me! I appreciate it!

Hey guys, don't suppose one of you might be able to keep an eye out for Target excl. Scout Class Longarm? I totally missed getting him on my checklist. I had thought Elita 1 was the last one I needed (BTW, thanks again Eddie and Tony)
but was mistaken.

I was also wondering if the Mountain Dew Transformer was something that was only available from their summer promotion or if there is any other way to lay my hands on one? If anyone has any info on that, I'd appreciate it.
I've been so wiped out from work that every time I start doing web searches regarding the thing, I fall asleep in front of the computer. (Which is why I have been checking this site out first before even checking my own e-mail. )

T.

Damn, see what I mean about being tired? I'm looking for Strongarm, not Longarm. ( My brain crossed Longrack with Strongarm and look what I got)
Anyway, that little omni-con jeep like dude originally from the Energon series. Yeah, that one!
This is gonna suck if I have to have my kids start proofreading my posts. I'm supposed to be more of an authority on this stuff than they are while they run circles around me with Pokemon knowledge. In a total state of denial, I'm going to blame the lacquer fumes from work on my mental lapse.

Edit, T-Mack answered while I asked.

No prob T. I'll keep my eyes out for that target scout figure. Was there a Mountain Dew transformer like in the movie? The only 'Dewbot' I saw was the custom one that was on ebay a few months back. I'll dig around and see what I can find...

Is it me or has anyone else cut back on their runs? As of now, all I'm waiting for is Thundercracker and Rescue Ratchet. Also can't wait to get my hands on the Best Buy exclusives on the 16th.

yeah, i've cut back on runs also. I'm down to starscream repaint which is discontinued so it's a moot point in terms going on runs to find one, thundercracker and rescue ratchet. It's so weird to be almost done with the movie line...for now. Picked up Leader Brawl last night.

Yea, I am half heartedly looking for T-Cracker and Rescue myself. May not pick them up cause funds are a little tight these days (but I will definately stach them for someone else if I come across them). Most of my trips are now for GI Joe's for my cousin. I just moved, and unfortunately my Best Buy reward zone bucks didn't show up before the move, so it is doubtfull that I will be able to get the exclusives, but we shall see.

Woodinville Target has the same Wave 1 and 2 (aka 08 BB wave) assortment as the other; except minus the 08 BB and Arcee. No 2-Pack exclusive spotted there yet.

BTW, is the Best Buy metallic Ratchet and Megs really coming out on Oct 16th?
