Hey!

Didn't know there was a local sightings page here... this is great!!!

Renton Walmart this morning:

Final Battle Jazz
Longarm
Payload

also had a lot of Dreadwing. This was as of 7:45am. Someone must have ransacked at 7am. These things sure go fast.

No luck at Southcenter Target.

This is basically my daily route. Looks like they are finally coming out! Anyone here do any cooperative buy/trading around here to help each other out?

Still need:
Voyager Prime
Leader Megatron
Target blue Arcee
Recon Barricade

and the soon to be released repaints of course....

Cool seeing you guys on here! Maybe you've seen me around... I drive a black 2007 Nissan Decepticon, lol!

Happy Hunting everyone!

^Hey I could help you out with the Recon Barricade and Blue Arcee. Let me know if you are still interested. I'll have to buy them today.

Well I just got back from WalMart in Marysville...I finally found Bumblebee...although the paint on the one left isn't too great...at least I have him now.

It is good to see new faces on the signting thread. I think this could also be a nice regional TF chat forum as well.

I will check the Lynnwood WM tonight after I get off work. Hoepfully they wil lstill have some of that stuff.

by **BB.206** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 11:02 pm

After finding the 08 Bumblebee I'm just in search of the 70s. Hopefully I can find one soon.

I'm just looking for a leader Megatron now.

I will pick up a Barricade if I can find one again, sadly I passed when I had the chance to get one last Saturday.

I'll probably make some rounds tomorrow morning and will report back if I find anything.

Renton Walmart had more today,only I must have just missed Recon Barricade, DOH!!!

I was able to snag the last Dropkick this morning and there was quite a few Dreadwings, but looks like once again it was ransacked. I went at 8:15am. I guess you gotta get up pretty darn early... Someone must be jacking all the BB '08's and Arcees or something. I just hope they are for collectors and not scalpers.

I was at the Lynnwood Wal-Mart around midnight last night and they didnt have any of Dropkick or Recon Barricade out. All they had were the 4 I mentioned last night. I also hope that BB and Arcee are being grabbed by fans and not scalpers... It is getting annoying not being able to find these 2....

I went to the Lynnwood Target and TRU today, both were pretty picked clean. I got the last Movie Clocker exclusive and I also got Strongarm...but they had plenty left of him. No Air Raid or Elita-1. At TRU I got Titanium 6" Soundwave.

Also don't know if you guys care but at Lynwood Khols they have on sale a Movie style Autobot faction symbol in G1 colors $10.

AUBURN WALMART HAS ALTERNATORS!!!!! Tons as of 6pm!!!!!

Proof:

Only 3 different kinds and must have been about 16 there on the shelf. A LOT of Optimus/Megatron Classic 2-pack, Lots of Jetfire, lots of single Optimus classic voyager and some Cybertron figs with horrible colors, hahah!

If you're missing these 3 alternators go to Auburn Walmart!!!!!

I am pretty much up to date with my Alternators (only missing Camshaft and Swerve :MAD:

) but it is nice to see Alternators back on the scene again.

by **Versa** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 3:50 pm

TRU in Southcenter had wave 2 Classics this morning: Mirage, Rodimus, Grimlock, Cliffjumper and Ramjet. Picked up all 5 singles with a few left over. Only had one Grimlock though so must have been one case. Also got in two more Primus'.

So who among us actually have been lucky enough to find the 09 BB and Arcee deluxe figures?

by **BB.206** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 10:14 pm

I was able to get a Bumblebee at the Marysville WalMart on Thursday. Last one, not a good paint job, but at least I got him. There was no sign of Arcee, but I already passed her up twice. Once at Toys R Us in Lynnwood and once at the Everett WalMart. If I find her again I might pick her up.

All I'm looking for now is a barricade and leader megatron.

by **mudfan** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 9:44 am

i was able to get Arcee a while back i found her at that target in factoria but as far as bumblebee....well the search goes on.....

by **BB.206** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 1:18 pm

Just got back from some rounds.

Everett:

Toys R Us: nothing really.

Target:

Movie Deluxes:
Dreadwing: 2
Final Battle Jazz: 1
Recon Barricade: 1
Dropkick: 1
Payload: 1
Longarm: 1

There was one bumblebee, but some kid got it while I was leaving.

2 Ultimate Bumblebees

2 Leader Brawls -- I almost picked one up, but I passed, don't really know why, but I did. It looks pretty cool.

Lynnwood:

Toys R Us:
Voyager Prime (2) and Megatron (The rest, I think four?)

Diecast Soundwave

Target: one Ultimate Bumblebee

WalMart: Still has the voyagers (Ratchet, Megatron, Starscrea, Ironhide). Two movie deluxes left: Dreadwing and Dropkick. I was thinking about picking up Dropkick since it was 8.97...but I passed.

Well I went to the Everett Wal-Mart and Target for the first time. The WM was pretty much cleane dout...though they had a interesting SWTF 2pack that had Vaders Tie Advanced and a Blue Obi Wan EPIII Jedi Star Fighter... I have never seen or ehard of the 2 pack before.

Everett Target had 6 G1 Jazz figures and a Recone Barricade which I picked up. No Leader Brawl's :MAD:

.

Lynnwood TRU had nothing.

Lynnwood Target was pretty much picked clean. All they had was a Long Arm, Dreadwing and a Dropkick. I grabbed the Dropkick figure.

Lynwood WM had nothing.

I passed on the Ultmate Bumblebee's for now. Next paycheck it will be mine.

The hunt for 09BB and Arcee continues....

by **BB.206** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 3:18 pm

I hope Jazz is still there once I get off of work.

by **BB.206** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 11:47 pm

Well, instead of going to Everett Target I went to Lynnwood since it was closer to other places I needed to go. I got lucky and there were 6 G1 Jazz on the shelves. I picked one up. I also asked them to check if they had any G1 Starscreams in the back with the DCPI number. They had two boxes in the back, the guy brought one out. He thought I was looking for Bumblebee and said "Just Starscream" I picked one up. I believe they were putting the other (3) on the shelf.

ohhh...I might have to wake up early Am and go check out and find one. I need Starscream...my collection must grow.

Anyone make runs today? I'm starting to slow down on my rounds since I only want a Leader Megatron and Deluxe Barricade.

After I picked up my Bumblebee last Thursday I haven't been as motivated to run around stores anymore.

I'm thinking about stopping my Everett WalMart and maybe Target.

News Credits: 337 · by **Air Commander Starscream** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 6:28 pm

Well I was going to make a run today but I went to Gamestop to get my Biochock game. And then they had Wii's for sale...I caved in and got a Wii and a whole bunch of accesories...so I cant do any run's for awhile. Only figure I will get now if I happen to be at a place would be BB and Arcee thats it.

...maybe G1 Starscream

Unfortunately I have to part with my Leader Brawl. If anyone wants him PM me, I'm just asking for the price I paid, $45. If not keep an eye out for him at Target. I'll probably return him this weekend.

what is wrong with him if anything?

by **BB.206** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 10:40 pm

Dropped by Marysville Kohls and WalMart today.

They have three Arcees left (I picked one up). A bunch of Swindles, dreadwings, and wreckages. The person told me they had some Bumblebees earlier today, but they are gone now. No luck for Barricade.

I'm crossing my fingers on finding something tomorrow morning at Kohls for the Earlybird special.

I forgot to add, if someone wants the 20th Anniv. Prime they have them at the Everett WalMart for $50. I picked one up. I might get another if it goes lower in price.
