My journey for transformers today =P

Postby CecilValiant » Wed Aug 08, 2007 7:17 pm

hiya, so i was bored and free today so i decided to see if ther e were any transformers around since it seems pretty hard to find some.
Well i went to walmart first around here, and what do i see? they actually had deluxes there, 1 Ironhide, 2 starscream, and 2 ratchets. while i was holding ironhide, some guy came by and sweeped up all the deluxes, and i was just holding the only ironhide there... i think he was seeing if iwould drop it. so i walked out of the aisle. i came back and i notice the ones that were picked up were in some other section now, but 1 of hte starscreams were missing. i was sure if i wanted ironhide, so i put him back.
next i went to kohls near it, and what do i see? they had some of the deluxe figures like brawl, bonecrusher, scorpinox, wreakage, and 1 jazz. i wasnt sure to get thoses either since they were 12.99, so i placed them back, i dont think people will notice where they are since that section of the store is a mess.
So i went to target next, and what do i see? A bunch of the target exclusive scout classes... i was wondering if these were worth to have, so i decided not to get any since they had a lot. but i could come back later for them.
I also went to another target down the street. They also had exclusives scout class, but not as many as the other place. I was looking around the section some more, and i didnt come out empty handed... well i just bought 25th aniversay GI JOE box set, which is pretty cool, only had 1 of the gi joes and 3 of the cobras... kinda want to get the corba ones soon..

well intersting discoveries, even thou i didnt get any transformers, i did get something..

well wondering if any of theses figures i should get before they disappear. thanks for reading =]

You bought GIJoes over movie figures, are you sure you're a TF fan? Especially when there seems to be 'shortage' in most areas, unless you have a lot of movie figs already (like me)

The target scout repaints are actually really good. Much better paint scheme than the original in some cases. Most of the chosen molds are great posable figures for the small price point, there are a few stinkers however, I think I like Signal Flare and Stongarm the least of them all. If anything get yourself an Arcee and/or Elita-1 when you see them, they are popular and it is a good mold.

Target will be the first to feature any of the new 25th GIJoes when they get their shipment from Hasbro. Never was a huge Joe fan but I must admit those new 25th figures are really really neat.

I've already got the whole first wave of G.I. Joe 25th carded and box sets, from Wal-Mart, of all places. They're also easy to find at K-Mart.

As far as Transformers, I just got back from Wal-Mart, that did their reset 4 days ago, and the transformers section is still empty. The Movie Deluxe pegs are full of Classics Deluxe for some reason. Had 2 Rodimus, More Mirages than I cared to count, 6 cliffjumpers, 3 Grimlocks, 3 Astrotrains, 2 Ramjets and 2 Bumblebees (Classic, not 08, calm down!) and a few Cybertron deluxe figs.

The Cybertron figs, Mirage and Cliffjumper have been there for months, but the rest of the stuff just showed up today...
This is the same Wal-Mart that I went into three weeks ago and got 2 Starscreams and a Classics Jetfire. How much stuff is in the back that they keep finding?

seriously guys, please use the threads already created for these sightings and target findings and all that crap.
there's ten damn threads like this a day and there's no need for it.
quite being a selfish prick and reply to an old thread.
notice when you do that it brings the thread to to top of the forum for attention and all to read

best advice in this situation is to post only in the good threads and let threads like this die the painful, horrible death they deserve. Each reply you make just bumps them back up to the top of the list.
