There is a Robot Heroes Starscream/Mirage at the Downtown Puyallup Fred Meyer, but I don't know when I would be able to make it up north for you to get it. Hope you found one closer to you, let me know.

Thanks to skyblast's tip on the new target that opened up in renton, i was able to find a few 'case fresh' voyagers that i wanted to replace because of damaged packaging. the new target in renton is HUGE and the transformers section was fully stocked. they had almost all of the 2nd wave deluxe class figs and pretty much all of the voyager class. i didnt bother to look at the leaders but i know for sure they had brawl. they also had a crap load of bumblebee 2 packs on the end cap.

I really hope the new wave comes out soon because I'm getting bored. last sunday i went to hobby town at southcenter to buy some paint for a little kitbashing job i plan to do on barricade... while i was crouched low looking for a particular color i heard what sounded like an rc car flipped upside down spinning its wheels... didnt think too much of it until i looked up and saw an rc helicopter hovering over my head. my jaw dropped and my mind started churning and thinking about all the different things i could do to customize it. i asked questions and it turns out they have different body styles you can buy and they also have clear bodies that you can totally customize yourself. long story short; i bought it, i love it and i've already crashed it a couple of times! i figure this new toy will keep me preoccupied until the new wave comes out!

hope you guys are finding other things to keep you busy until then...

cheers!

Well, I got my check, I paid some bills, I have enough for IMAX and the purchase of the DVD on the 16th. I then proceeded to do something SO uncharacteristic for me, I am still slightly stunned. Being a rather frugal ("cheap, tight-a**!) I have been sticking to the small stuff. Mostly Deluxe & smaller and only 1 deluxe at a time. I now have the "Evolution" 2-pack, Thundercracker AND Rescue Ratchet. It took every last ounce of willpower to leave Voyager Prime sitting on the shelf. Lynnwood Target was decently stocked up on the 2-packs and Everett Wal-Mart as of 9:30 P.M. had a $%#@-load of Deluxe Class (Wave 2) and Voyager figs., most of which were Megatron but there were 2 Primes, 2 Rescue Ratchet (after I snagged mine), I got the last Thundercracker and my mind is drawing a blank as to what the other figure was. Once I had RR and T-Cracker in hand I pretty much blew off the rest of the inventory
Oh Yeah, you guys don't have to worry about looking for any of the other small stuff for me for awhile. I think I'll be content for some time

Anybody able to locate a copy of the Score? I'm going to look for it this weekend.

what's the score?

Sorry I wasn't specific. I meant the Score from the movie (audio CD). I can't seem to find a copy in the north end...at least not yet.

oh boy...

looks like there is something new to hunt! i saw a new post in the toys forum regarding a 3 pack that features a battle damaged deluxe arcee, battle damaged voyager starscream and battle damaged voyager prime. im assuming it will be a sams club exclusive since they had the other 3 pack.

also listed in the post are classics 2 packs...

go check it out!

Dang, really? As a completest, this sorta sucks.

Alright so Transformers Imax Saturday night at 7:00.

nice haul T. and interesting news Rodimus.

I can't believe he did it...but I just got assigned a paper for the weekend. I'll try to finish it Saturday morning. We'll see what happens. If I can make it I'll give you a call Matt. If I don't make it hope you guys enjoy the movie!

Heard a rumor that the BestBuy Megatron and Ratchet are on some shelves. I'll check my local BestBuy after I get off work.

Cool! I have a buddy on the way there to check out the Best Buy at Northgate... I'll post an update as soon as I hear back from him.

Well, just got the call back from my buddy. No dice on the Best Buy exclusives. I believe they have them in the store but won't release them until the 16th. This was at the Northgate BB.. I'm gonna try later tonight at the Southcenter BB when I get home from work. I'll post again if I get anything...

No dice on Megs/Ratchet in Puyallup BBY either yet. Good news was I was able to print my Reward Zone bucks that were shipped to my old address before I moved, so I am ready to spend them on tuesday when the movie comes out.

Nothing at the Everett or Lynnwood BestBuy either. However, I did get my MP Skywarp today, didn't open it yet. I'll probably open it after I finish my paper.

Best advice I could give ya BB, is to take MP Skywarp over to a friends house and tell your friend that Skywarp is not to be let out of the closet until you show him a copy of your finished paper. I wouldn't be able to have something that cool in the house at the same time as a major deadline.
In fact, between MP Skywarp and IMAX on Saturday (which you did not commit to 'cause of school but I intend to be a bad influence ) a better idea would be meeting me before the movie so I can give you a thorough list of every late night/24hr. coffee stands in Snohomish and North King Counties, enjoy a 4-5 hour study break, get massively caffienated and studiously bust out your paper by late afternoon Sunday, enjoy your new Skywarp sporadically throughout and look like Hell on Monday Morning but have your paper in on time.
That sounds like a Win-Win scenario to me!

Just a little TF hunting I did Friday morning (oct 12th) at the Southcenter TRU. The guy in the video that I captured towards the beginning looked like a big-time....buyer/scalper. He was buying up tons of football figurines and gold coin 30th anniversary star wars. He even had two other girls grabbing ones towards the front of the store for him. Eventually he found so much that he had to get a shopping cart...no joke. I ended up finding 4 bb08s but left all of them because I had already picked up one at the the new landing target 20 minutes earlier. I know it's not that rare anymore to find concept BB, I just thought this would be a good video to take for future viewing when all of the TF1 movie toys are long gone.

Hey T. and Tony... I am going to try and be at the Imax about 45 minutes before showing, I will hang out outside the ticket area. I will have my Seibertron shirt on...you guys have my cell.

Cool. I'll shoot for close to the same time wearing probably wearing my black Autobot tee. I can't vouch for Tony since I am not sure I made a compelling enough argument a few posts back to convince him to take an extended study break.
So what about the rest of you folks?? Hunting should be slow since most of us seem to either have bought everything or bled our wallets dry so why don't the rest of you do something totally kick-ass this evening and check out TF IMAX. You only have to sacrifice a deluxe figure purchase to cover the ticket price and there are no small pieces to lose or break. Besides, it will probably be the last, truly awsome thing you'll see on a big screen till the middle of 2009 so you might as well see it done at it's absolute best.

I'm taking a break for my paper, well actually it was like a 30 minute break to make some runs for the BestBuy Ratchet and Megatron. Did not find them this morning, I did stop by Lynnwood Target and they had decent movie Deluxes. I decided to arrange them so the ones that were in the movie were in front of the pegs. I had Bumblebee (Classic), Barricade, Final Battle Jazz, Brawl, Scorp., and Bonecrusher all in the front. It looked cool.

Now I must get back to my paper.

Since I finished my paper last night I went to see what sales they had at Target.

This is what they had:
Deluxes: 9.89 (not much of a sale)
Scout/basic: 7:19
FAB: 8.89
Leader: 35.99
Evolution of a hero 2 pack: 15.99
Didn't see any voyagers so I didn't bother looking for the tag.

I also stopped by Everett WalMart to see how their Bumblebee stock was (last Saturday they had 12 Classic Camaros) Today they had none left, not sure if they just put them in the stock room, because they were overflowing with Deluxes or what, but I still saw some Wreckages, Bonecrushers, and Dreadwings in random places.

They also had a bunch of Voyager Megatrons and one Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker.

Overall a nice stock of Deluxes (6 pegs full) but majority were Wreackage, Swindle, and Dreadwing.

Are you sure about the evolution 2-pack price?

Yup, 100% sure. When you walk into Target look at the ads on the wall, it is a featured product. If you wait until Tuesday to buy it along with the DVD you get a $5 gift card.

Edit:

Here is the link for the ad online: http://weeklyad.target.com/target/defau ... =sc_iw_l_0

Nothing at Puyallup Best Buy today. Thought I would share some options.

Bestbuy- $5 off when you purchase exclusive toy (Megatron/Ratchet) and any version of the DVD, must be on the same receipt. Robot Heroes Exclusives. Limited number of lithographs, minimum 30 per store with purchase of movie.

Target- $5 giftcard with purchase of DVD and BB Evolution which is on sale. Transforming DVD

KMart- Free keychain, sale on transformers, save $10 on any movie toy $19.99+ with purchase of movie.

Circuit City- Free transformers hat to first 20 to buy the DVD, and free Transformers Digital Download Card (whatever the hell that is)

How was the movie Matt & T.? Sorry I couldn't go. I hope you guys had fun!

I think I'll buy the DVD from Target along with the Evolution of a Hero two pack (if still available) to get that giftcard.
