Not really a sighting but a cool thing. So I work at FedEx Kinko's...on my Jeep I have Cut Vinyl Decepticon Logo's on it. This guy asked me about it maybe 2 weeks ago. he came in today wanting to get a Autobot Logo for his tailgate. Unfortunetly my store can't do Cut Vinyl but I got him a vector EPS file of the Autobot Logo and sent him to the Ballard store to get it done tomarrow, his name was Carlos.

It's just so cool to see people wanting to do things like that...

Hope you enjoy your Bumblebee Matt!

I totally forgot I had a 10% off coupon for Toys R Us. I went back today to see if I wanted to pick anything up. I was tempted to get Final Battle Jazz or the last Arcee, but I passed. Maybe I'll find something else later down the road.

Air Commander Starscream wrote:Well thanks to BB.206 I now have a Bumblebee Concept among my ranks. And when I went to meet him we found a G1 Starscream.... so this is great news. I am pretty much caught up except the 2 new Voyager releases.

This is working out well guys, thanks for anyone who was willing to help me search for Starscream BTW.


I agree, this forum has helped me find figures that are hard to find here in the south end. Thanks again BB.206!

On another note... I just noticed the packaging on my 08 Bumblebee and my Swindle are pretty dinged up :? If any of you find a 08 Bumblebee or Swindle that is in good condition (no dents on bubble or creases on the card), could you please pick it up for me?

Thanks in advance!

I will keep a look out. I take it you do not open your Transformers then?

:P plastic prisons!!

I open them all...even the expensive ones like the Fusion Cluster Protoform Eclusive set I jsut got...half the fun of spending that much on these guys is whipping them open. Or a AFA graded box :lol:

I think I can get you another Swindle Eddie, but it would be at Kohls stupid $12.99 price. I saw some the other day at Marysville. Let me know if you want it.

I'll keep an eye out for a Bumblebee.

Stupid Kohls! :HEADHURTS: When you pay for the items, do you ever ask if they price match? just a thought...

But yeah... that would be great if you can snag one for me. I really wish the Target @ Southcenter would stock up already. It's been too long! The last time I seen any Deluxe figures (not including G1 Jazz) was ealy August :-(

I asked the Covington one if they matched and he said nope. It is worth asking though if you have a receipt on you, may get lucky. I was just happy to finally get Concept BB that I didn't really care.

Anybody who is close to the east-side, or willing to travel there, the Bellevue TRU will have a truck arriving late Tuesday and should have their TF's restocked for Wednesday morning. Only thing there right now are a few packs of the Movie Robot Heroes. (I picked up BB/Barricade) They had 1 ea. remaining of Prime/Blackout and BB/Barricade, 2 Ratchet/Megatron and about 5 Jazz/Frenzy. I'm starting a new job tomorrow so I won't be able to check anything out or pick stuff up until the weekend.

Thanks for the tip. I'm considering taking the whole day off then, since I'm already off a half day.

I just got out of Toys R Us. They didn't have anything. I guess they didn't want to put it up. I should have gone to work today.

Oh well I guess. I'll probably make some runs on Saturday for people.

oh random thing has nothing to do with figures but it is a sighting was at radioshack with my dad and while walking around the parking lot i saw a motorcycle (i think a kawasaki) that had the decepticon logo on the end of it just behind the seat. just randomly thought that looked badass so did my dad. just anyway random side note

I feel bad that TRU had nothing after I posted at the start of the week that the shipment would be in. I may have to "educate" a certain TRU employee about the dangers of misrepresentation. It was obvious what I was after on Monday and the guy was very cretain of his facts. If you want BB, I can turn him upside-down and shake some gas money out of him for ya. I'm only working a 1/2 day tomorrow so I can use some afternoon "entertainment". My Friday/Saturday bodyguard work dried up so I have been kind of bored lately anyway. (new job notwithstanding. that has actually been fun)

T.

Oh yeah, my new job will allow me to exapnd my hunting radius so I will be able to scope/retrieve stuff from Marysville northward (like the Wal-Mart or KB Toys in Mt Vernon/Burlington) 8)

I guess Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker are available somewhere. I heard that someone picked them up from the northend...hmmm...maybe WalMart?

I might stop by tonight to see if they have anything.

I will check the south end for Rescue and T-Cracker today. I am in the money spending mood. Let me know if anyone finds any.

Everett Target has exclusive Basic figures!!!
I am on my way to score 1 ea. of Armorhide for myself and Matt. That will leave 1 Armorhide remaining + 2 Elita-1, 2 Air Raid, 1 Clocker and 1 Skyblast. If anyone knows how to get ahold of our exalted Air Commander, (I PM'ed him already) have him give me a buzz @ 314-7547. I would score more for the rest of you but I can only afford 2 Basic figures at the moment. I'm on my way down there right now.

T-M 8)

That's good news! I might stop by after I get off work to see if I really want to pick any of them up. Thanks for the tip.

Well, only 1 Armorhide remains (stashed behind Clocker).
Everything else is the same as far as the count. The files on the back of Armorhide, Air Raid and Elita 1 are actually pretty good, and Armorhide looks very cool. There were, of course, no Deluxe class figures or anything else of interest there.
