Hey Skyblast,

I saw both Recon Barricade and Dropkick this morning at Everett Toys R Us. I'm not sure if they're still there, do you want me to pick them up if they are? Let me know.

If anyone wants any FABs head down to the Everett Target they had a bunch. I almost picked up Bumblebee...but he looked too childish and since it was the same price as a Deluxe I didn't feel like it was worth it.

They also had two leader Brawls.

Toys R Us in Everett had six Leader Brawls along with the following Deluxes:

Recon Barricade
Dropkick
Final Battle Jazz
Payload
Longarm

I saw one Bumblebee and it was in flawless condition and since I had a 10% coupon I used it on the Bumblebee. I'll keep this one in the package.

Oh yeah,

Matt did you get your Skywarp yet? If so how do you like him? Thanks.

Picked up a side job this weekend and should get paid for it tomorrow evening once it's all completed. Between that and making connections with Matt I have gas money and should be able to keep my eyes open at the stores up north this next week. (I'll be working for a few days in Mt. Vernon so I will be close to a Wal-Mart and KayBee Toys) Let me know what you folks are lacking and so long as it isn't too big, I can snag it and make connections with folks.
And yes, I saw his new Skywarp. 3 words... It Is SWEET!
I'll let him tell the rest of you about it since it's his showpiece to gush over. Besides, I can't begin to describe how cool it is.

T-M.

I made a few runs today before meeting up with Eddie.

I just realized that I never find anything on Sundays. I think I'll stop making runs on Sundays.

If anyone is looking for Leader Brawl there are two at Everett Target and six at the Everett Toys R Us still.

Voyager Megatron is still everywhere from Target to WarlMart to Toys R Us.

Well, I'll probably be posting less in this forum starting the 24th. Back to school for me. I plan to make one more run this coming Wednesday, hopefully I'll find something since it will be my last for the summer.

Thanks bb206 for offering to pick some deluxes for me!! I did however manage to find the last of both dropkick and recon barricade at Kmart in Kent. Weird to find the exact ones I was looking for among very slim pickings.

as of yesterday at kmart in kent I left the following:

x1 longarm
x2 dreradwing

$10.99 each

Thanks everyone!!

yea thanks again for getting me the armorhide, it was nice meeting you.

I got both MP-06 Skywarps open and on display in my collection. BB.206...you were asking about the figure. The figure is so nice I had to get 2, the gloss black is just done so nicely. Also another nice touch is all the little white "no steps" and various things on the wings and fuselage are all tempored on so they are not stickers...very crisp. I would suggest you pick one up... Can't wait to get 2 of the Wal-Mart Starscreams.

Though I still like the original MP-03 Starscream and his colors.

This weekend Marysville Walmart had multiple Alternator Skids, Richochet, and Rollbar. They had one Sunstreaker that I grabbed. And the usual monolith-worth of Cybertron Primus at full price.

Lynnwood TRU had a case of the movie Robot Heroes hidden in the above compartment that was not opened yet. Should still be there - I didn't need any. They also had 4+ Leader Brawls. Bellevue TRU had nothing.

In Targets Eastside, I have not yet seen the Wave 3 Scouts. They did have Wave 2 Robot Replicas, but I did not see Frenzy - he may be short packed. Optimus looked horrible.

Mon Sep 17, 2007 10:13 am

Thanks for the review Matt. I guess I'll pick him up.

Puyallup Fred Meyers had
Deluxe Jazz, Barracade, Scorponik, Brawl. Sadly, no old school Bumblebee.

Titanium Scorge and titanium tripple changer of some sort.

Mon Sep 17, 2007 7:28 pm

Is it just me or is Fred Meyer the place to find Barricade!!! Many, many other places around the country are suffering serious Barricade droughts.

Mon Sep 17, 2007 9:38 pm

The three Fred Meyers near me don't have anything besides Protoform Starscream and Leader Primes.

T. would it be possible for you to pick up a Classic Camaro Bumblebee for me if you see one? Thanks!

If I see the little yellow bugger, I'll pick up as many as I can afford. Mine broke and is stuck in robot mode so I gave it to my ex-wife since she mentioned that she really liked the character in the movie. So I will be hunting for at least 2 of them. I'm going back up north early tomorrow morning so that I can hit Wal-Mart before I start work. I'm going to try to hit the Burlington KB Toys (if it still exists) after work tomorrow. Oh yeah, got a small advance today to rescue my storage from being auctioned (with 80% of my TF's inside) and had enough to snag Nightbeat 7 at the Everett WalMart. This leaves Meantime as the last Real Gear my kids and I need for a full set.
I still have $ left for hunting, I only budgeted a small amount for myself till another past client pays me middle of this week. I can totally score a Bumblebee if I spot one.

Hey, T as of yesterday there were two meantimes at the Kent Target location.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Sep 18, 2007 8:17 am

Thanks for the heads up skyblast. There is no rush for me to get him, more focused on getting the Target Basics and the Deluxe class figures. Once I get some more pocket change wednesday I may snag him if I come across him. I alotted myself a small splurge and Nightbeat was it for now. The boss was generous so I figured what the hell. The other figures I'm after were the ones I truly budgeted money for and since the call is out for a Bumblebee, I'm focused on that now. The hunt is on!

Not really a sighting, but has anyone done buisness with an Anime store by Northgate Mall called Kicks Hobby? In my quest for local MP figures, they have them listed on their sight, but none actually in stock. I was in the store once and their prices seemed reasonable for their Transformers stuff.

I'm just wondering if they're reliable, if their figures arrive in good shape, etc.

Thanks

glad i could help mudfan! it was nice meeting you yesterday. i actually got lucky finding bb at the southcenter target last week. bb206 also has luck finding him at the kohls and targets up north.

bb206 - thanks again for finding the swindle and bb for me! i'll keep my eyes out for the classic camaro bb..

Tue Sep 18, 2007 1:14 pm

No problem Eddie. Tomorrow is going to be my last run for the summer. I'll keep out eye out for Thundercracker and Rescue Ratchet...we'll see what happens.

Tue Sep 18, 2007 2:52 pm

were thundercracker and rescue ratchet walmart exclusives or just in general find them whereever? i think im having a brain fart

News Credits: 337 · Tue Sep 18, 2007 5:39 pm

Hey just a head sup guy, T. asked me to post this. he was able to find a Payload up in Mt. vernon and it is up to grabs to who ever wants it.

Tue Sep 18, 2007 7:56 pm

In case anyone was interested, the Federal Way Walmart had two dozen Voyager Primes and Megatrons, and a boatload of Ultimate Bumblebees. The Voyager TFs were on a back endcap though, not with the usual display...so you have to go to the back to get 'em if you want 'em.

Everywhere, but no where right now it seems.

Matt, thanks for doing the post about my find. Working out in the boon-docks with no idea of when I would return tonight but wanted to get the word out there.

As was mentioned a few posts back, I found 1 Payload at the Mt. Vernon Wal-Mart just before 8:00 this morning. It was the only deluxe figure there so I felt it was my civic duty to leave this Wal-Mart as wiped out as all the others. There were a ton of Classics Optimus and Jetfire, enough Primus to block off a 4 lane highway and not a whole lot else except FAB's. If anyone wants or needs to add Payload to their collection, I'll leave him safe in package till this weekend. He's not at the top of my purchase list, but if my kids find out I have him then it's pretty much "end of sale".

I also discovered that there is no longer a KB Toys in Burlington. In fact there are only three left in the whole state since the southcenter store has yet to reopen after remodeling. Depending on the cash/gas/time factor, I might venture to the one in North Bend saturday morning. At the least they usually have cool TF Universe stuff but they are often slow at getting the new waves of items in which increases the odds of finding another classic Camaro BB...I hope.

T.

Well, I made my final rounds this morning.

There are tons of leader class out there I saw four Megatrons, eight brawls and two primes.

The only deluxe I saw this morning was Dreadwing and of course G1 Jazz.

Voyager Megatron is also available.

Target has the Leader Brawls and Megatrons. Toys R Us in Everett has the Dreadwings along with two Brawls left.

I can now relax for the rest of the day. Good luck to everyone that is hunting today.

Well, not an instore sighting, but on my travel back down to Vancouver for about 10 days, I found someone on Craigslist selling their TRU Commemoratives. I picked up 5 for myself at $20 each (Prime, Magnus, Jazz, Skywarp, and Starscream). He still has powermaster Prime, Rodimus Major, Silverstreak, Smokescreen, Prowl, Tracks, Skids, Hoist, Red Alert, Grapple, Inferno, Dirge, and Thundercracker. He is asking $30 each or $20 for three or more. All were unopened (except Powermaster). He also had a couple Alternaters (Prowl if there is one), but I am not sure exactly which (I don't know anything about that line). But if anyone really, really needs any of these, let me know and I will see if he still has them. I am moving back to Puyallup at the end of the month, so it would be a few weeks before I could meet up. I just wonder if I can keep myself from opening any of the ones I bought.
