Guys I've really put a lot of time and money into this whole collecting thing in the last month and have discovered now(after being broke) that there are quite a few unmentioned places to look for transformers and not just movie ones either. You just have to be creative. I am thrilled at how many of you have picked up good movie toys at KHOLS around the country and I think SEARS may be the same but there is a catch????
I'm not sure about the rest of the country but here in the PNW one of the three SEARS stores carries all types of transformers; movie toys, cybertron, and classics 1.0. Same story as with KHOLS there is a toy area tucked away in the corner, usually on the second floor.
I only thought of it because back in the 80s SEARS was one of the best places to get transformers.
You just have to think how a kid thinks. Remember when your mom took you to department stores? My thing back then was to hide inside the circular clothes racks and my other big thing was to FIND THE FREAKIN TOY SECTION. That's where my mom always found me...with some toy in my hand but I usually got the, put that toy back line. I am a triplet and have an older sister so we were constantly broke. Hummmm, maybe that's why I collect today?
Anyway, at the SEARS in Tacoma (Tac mall) picked up six different cybertron basic vehicles for $7.99, a classic mini-con three pack for $7.99 (too much) and.... one which I am very excited about a classic jetfire for $19.99!!!
Left classic ramjet, classic mirage, 3 basic cybertron vehicles, voyager starscream, voyager ironhide and many good deluxe figures including Barricade and Jazz.
So call your SEARS up and see if they carry toys
