I just gave Everett Target a call and they have some movie deluxes in. I asked if they had Bumblebee for T., but they said they didn't. I didn't ask what else they had, but I suggest you give them a call or stop by to check and see.

Hey T-Mack! Looks like I had another good hunting day. I found another Elita-1 figure. She's all yours if you still want her. I plan on meeting up with BB206 to hand over his 74 BB. Since you both live up north and if its alright with Tony, I could give him the Elita-1 and you could grab it from him.. Either way, let me know...

Was there someone on this forum looking for an 08 BB?

If you dont mind... how much did you pay for the Lawson Exclusive Gold BB? I really want one but can't justify getting ripped on ebay for one... Do you have connections? Is there a way to get your hands on more?

Thanks,

Hey R.T. thanks for finding/snagging E1. I didn't realize I was after her either until I scored the other 2 exclusives, started doing a head count and realized I had the entire set except for 1. I got the final Real Gear figure I needed this week so I figured why not close out the Scouts as well. The arrangement you suggested is cool with me. I'll have another long work day tomorrow and have to snag a free entertainment system from a buddy in Issaquah Saturday morning. I should be free shortly before noon on Saturday but there is a small chance I could get roped into working if my boss doesn't make good progress on Friday.
My number is a few posts back BB, whatever works well for your schedule, let me know. I won't get a chance to check the postings again until late tomorrow night so the phone might be your best bet.
...and Thanks again, Rodimus. With your luck this week I should have you pick some Lotto #'s for me.

Well, it's not the first time, won't be the last, but I made a mistake. It appears I overlooked Target Scout Class Strongarm. And here I thought I was going to have my collection completed by Saturday.

I guess I'll have to ask that if anyone should happen to spot Strongarm, please let me know. Much appreciated...

This must be the day for Classic Camaro BBs - I also found one that I can offer someone here. There was a second one that I left hidden at the store, but I won't say where till I know people on this forum are good on the '74 BB.

I won't be able to check this forum after this post, so email me at mjezra2006@yahoo.com if you are interested before 4:30 today.

Good Hunting this weekend!

Fri Sep 28, 2007 8:21 pm

The good news, aside from the obvious about '74 BB and E1, is that I am finally home after a very long and rather painful day. The bad news Tony, is that my voicemail box is empty and has been all day. It doesnt surpprise me since I have gotten voicemails as late as 2 days after the person made the initial call. If you want to give it another shot, I will be up for a few more hours. I hurt too much to be able to find a comfortable position to fall asleep in and now that '74 BB is almost in hand, I'm too jazzed to think about sleeping anyway.
Thanks Eddie for the most awsome haul and setting up the hand-off!! To me, this is even cooler than what I am picking up first thing in the morning which is a free, functioning 48 inch big screen TV and home theater system.
I can't use 'em where I am at now so they are going into storage, but Bumblebee is going to be proudly displayed next to my scaled down Prime display. This Rocks :grin:

I got mine for $36 due to the staff member getting it for me purely at cost. Unfortunetly I can not get more or him because this was something promoted about 4 months ago at the lawson Stores...basically it was a pre order for the Transformers movie and you got the Goldbug figure as well. So in order to get them now you have to find someone who already picked them up. It is very nice though...sooo damn shiny... Stormrider had to go to 8 different lawson stores since it was a 1 purchase only at each store.

Anyways I will be off to find the hero 2 packs...I need to get one so I can get the battle damaged variant.

Also looks like we might have missed the chance to meet up for the Imax movie...I think we should try for a definet next week?

Anybody make any runs this morning. I was about to, but then when I woke up all the cars were gone from my house. I'll probably head out in the afternoon time.

Thanks again Tony and Eddie! Now, do you want to hear the amusing part. I stop by the Everet WalMart after a VERY late round of work. Once I get back to toys I spot 4 boxes on the floor. I'm excited 'cause even though I can't afford it right now the thought of snagging the '08 BB to go with my new '74 seems pretty appealing. One box already had the tape cut, so I lift the lid with the toe of my boot, see yellow, put the lid back down and walk away. (Yup, a '74) I come back 2 minutes later, track down the stock manager for toys and ask if I can check out the other 3 unopened boxes. His answer: "My policy is if you make a mess, you clean it, if you open a box, you stock it!"
My response: "Seriously?? You got a deal!"
I stocked 3 more '74 BB's and an assortment of the first series Movie Deluxes. Leader Class Brawl was still there as well as 3 Voyager Megatron. Very large amount of Real Gear, singles and 2 packs. No new releases.
Anybody still needing a '74, Post it and I will check it right away. Must be posted early because I spend all day at my ex-wifes hanging out with my kids.

Lynnwood Wal-Mart actually had some stock! They had all 3 Leader class figures, Some wave 1 and wave 2 deluxes (Skorponok, Swindle, Dreadwing and a few others. They also had plenty of Voyager Megatron and Optimus Primes...

However I snagged Thundercracker and Rescue Ratchet as well as a FAB Frenzy. They only had 1 of each of these guys.

Sun Sep 30, 2007 10:58 am

Nice find Matt. At least we know they're here now.

Nice work on the Rescue Ratchet and Thunder Cracker. You are very lucky. I'll bet at this point they are the only two in the state... :-?

I hit a ton of stores in the south end this morning and saw what others have been reporting....a lot of wave one deluxes at walmarts.

Highlight though was seeing bumblebee evolution 2-packs actually out on the floor at the Federal Way Target. Probably 10 left!! Hard to spot however as they are located on an end cap on the bottom shelf.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Sep 30, 2007 10:47 pm

I swung into the Lynnwood Wal-Mart breifly this afternoon to pick up stuff to fix my sons bike. I was glad I had not stopped at that one last night cause I was in no shape to stock that large a quantity of stuff at midnight. (I would hope the person there would NOT make the same deal as the guy at the Everett Wal-Mart.) I must have made it there sometime after you, Matt 'cause I did not see much in the way of Prime's or any other voyagers. I was amazed to see that large of a quantity of Deluxes. They were all older ones so I'm hoping they will move out slower and I will have a chance to pick up the ones I misssed/passed-up the first few times around. I just don't want to buy a bunch in one shot and be left with a lifeless wallet.

Called Woodinville and Lynnwood Target with the DPCI for BB 2-pack and neither of them have it.

On the bright side, I did find Recon Barricade this weekend!

Mon Oct 01, 2007 3:03 pm

^Lynnwood Target is sort of...mean when it comes to checking for Transformers. I have found only three people there to be helpful, when I brought the DPCI number. The other day when Eddie said that they were at Targets, the guy didn't even bother looking it up, he just said "I highly doubt it" and checked the shelf.

However, Everett Target has been good in terms of trying to help me out. For the most part at least.

Try again in person with Lynnwood Target. Try to find someone that is carrying those DPCI checkers with them. If the person you talk to wont check, find another person.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
