The Energon Pub

Federal Way Target has the evo Bumblebee 2 pack I saw 6 of em an hour from this post. There was ton of scouts and Wave 2. I finally got my '08 Bumblebee had to pass up Longarm to get him . Nothing at the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Fed-way tho.

If you guys need a 20th Aniv Prime. there are two of em at Wal-Mart Bonney lake. If you guys see any classics line plaese tell which chain you seen em at.

Was at Northgate Target this afternoon with my roommate. I saw them put out a box of deluxes. The wave was weird. It had Bonecrusher, Barricade, Jazz, Brawl, Wreckage, Swindle, and Dropkick. No Arcee or Bumblebee. I found it funny that all of them were wave 1 besides Dropkick.

They have the Evolution of a Hero 2 pack for those who are looking for that. She had a box with three sets in it, not sure if she was going to put it out or put it back.

Stopped by Lakewood/Smokey Point Target on my way home. Plenty of the Scouts that we scrambled around for a few weeks back and they had 3" Titanium Movie figs. Bumblebees paint job sucked but the mold was o.k.(barely). Ironhide and Jazz are "must get" items when payday rolls around. There was also 1 ea. of Ratchet, Blackout and Barricade. Those 3 just have too much detail to translate well to 3" size but Ironhide and Jazz were done well and will look good next to my Titanium Movie Prime from the Target set.
I've noticed that the stuff up north seems to move out a bit slower, so anybody wanting to check out stuff north of the outlet stores in Marysville doesn't have to worry about it being gone an hour after I post. The drive north sucks til after dinner anyway so it's worth it to wait a bit.

I'm not too sure on how true this is, but when I called Everett Target they had 10 Deluxe Bumblebees...

I had my sister stop by to see if it was true...it turns out it was false. But someone could have bought up the entire stock, since I called around 3pm.

Are people up for the movie this weekend? I might be able to make it if you guys go this weekend.

Anyway, that little omni-con jeep like dude originally from the Energon series. Yeah, that one!
This is gonna suck if I have to have my kids start proofreading my posts. I'm supposed to be more of an authority on this stuff than they are while they run circles around me with Pokemon knowledge. In a total state of denial, I'm going to blame the lacquer fumes from work on my mental lapse.

One strongarm scout spotted at Target in Southcenter if you're still looking.?

Christmas department at Target (atleast the Puyallup one) have transformers decorations. About 12 different and a snow globe. They are pretty sweet.

I am up to see Transformers on Imax this Saturday, just let me know. T can you make it?

My Mind and heart are saying "YES" but my wallet is saying "Oh no you don't!" As badly as I want to see the 'bots on the really big screen, I don't get paid till Wednesday. It sucks trying to catch up after being hosed by my previous clients. If it is playing through the end of the month I will specifically set aside the funds for next saturday, even if I have to go solo.

Actually, it has just occurred to me that I may very well be given an oppurtunity to make some side money when I head over to my ex's this evening. At this point I am still going to decline on the movie invite, but check the posts in the morning and let me know the time and ticket cost.
I may have to get cold and wet tomorrow to make some cash but it is for a good cause and I should be finished before showtimes start. (If, in fact, I get hit up for work by my ex's neighbor) Wish me luck.

Oh yeah, thanks for keeping an eye out for Strongarm, folks.
Unfortunately, getting to Southcenter was a stretch for me since I have been in Mt. Vernon most of the week. I wouldn't actually snag one till I am 100% sure of when I'll have cash in hand. I don't want to leave somebody hanging...

Saw tons of Desert two packs (scorponok and blackout) at the TRU Southcenter this afternoon!!! When I grabbed the last one, so I thought a couple months back I thought that would be it? Now that they are back (about 8 left) if you did not get one DO IT while you can!!! The price has increased a few bucks but I believe it's worth it. To me it's sorta like finding the Walmart "First Encounter" two pack again. I never did find one of those...I had to ebay mine.

I also used my Kohl's 10 dollar free gift card which came in the mail last week to purchase free and clear deluxe Barricade at an additional 10% off. I guess I got one because I live close by the new Southcenter store??? If anyone else also received one they expire on the 13th so get there soon.

Hey all - I am very impressed with the way you are all looking out for eachother in terms of your collections. Really awesome. In that spirit, I got back from Northgate about an hour ago, and besides the ubiquitous Robot Fighters, Ultimate Bumblebees, Real Gears, and Robot Heroes:

Northgate Target had 1 Strongarm & 1 Clocker, a few Leader Brawls, 1 deluxe Brawl, and little else.

Northgate TRU had a stack of Voyagers - loads of Ironhides, and several Blackouts, Starscreams and Megatrons. Only deluxes there were 1 Wreckage and 1 Dreadwing. They did have a lot of FABs... mainly Frenzy from what I could see.

A grocery stop at the Ballard Fed Meyer saw lots of deluxes: many Swindles, Bonecrushers, and a few Barricades. I also spotted one '74 Bumblebee.

Hope this info helps someone.

Oh yea, almost forgot - you guys seem to be mainly into the movie toys, but my local Walgreens (Crown Hill) has KnockOff G1 gestalts (I spotted Superion, Bruticus, Defensor and Devastator), interestingly colored, but currently priced at $11.99 for 3! SO very tempting... even if I do have the originals...

Made some mini runs today.

Lynnwood Target:
Final Battle Jazz
They have the Evolution of a Hero 2 pack set up at the End Cap.

Lynnwood Toys R Us:
Voyager:
Megatron
Blackout
Ratchet
Ironhide
Starscream

Desert 2 pack, I almost picked one up, but I passed. If it's at Everett Toys R Us tomorrow I'll pick one up.

Kohls:
4 Barricades
5 Arcess
6 Jazz
5 Bonecrushers
5 Dropkicks
6 Scorps

Everett WalMart:
at least 9 Classic Camaro Bumblebees, I almost picked up another one, but the line was too long to check out.
Other wave 1 deluxes.

I too am going to have to pass on the movie. I'll be busy helping a friend remodel their house this weekend.

I wanted to also confirm skyblast's sightings at TRU in Southcenter. I took a day off from work and did an early run this morning. Below were my findings:

Walmart Renton: Crapload of wave 1 deluxe figs.. never saw so many 74 bumblebees in one place!
Fred Meyer Renton Center: Wave 1 deluxe figs... jazz, scorponox, wreckage...
Fred Meyer Benson Center: Same stuff as Renton Center..
Target Southcenter: Various scout figs, 2 deluxe Dreadwings...
Kohls Southcenter: 1 Dropkick, 1 Arcee, Brawl... I must say, I was a bit disappointed with the size of their toy 'department' (very small and cramped)
TRU Southcenter: Crapload of wave 1 deluxe and voyager figs (every voyager except Prime, Thundercracker and RR) also had a bunch of TRU exclusive Blackout and Scorponox packs.

Another TF hunter that I met at Walmart this morning said he got Rescue Ratchet from there last week, the day I decided not to go Hopefully they'll have more tomorrow morning

The hunt continues tomorrow morning!

Man Ill be there tomarrow Am and see if I can snag one.

They have 3 Rescue Ratchets and 2 Thundercrackers at Everett WalMart. I picked up a Thundercracker.

One set of Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker HIDDEN at the walmart in Renton one aisle over from the TF toys towards the main doors. RR and TC were placed behind the sing and spin cement truck towards the end... on the right... middle shelf.

All of this thanks to RodimusTitan who hooked me up this morning. I thought I'd pass the favor to someone else.

Looks like today is the day for Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker to make their appearance in WA. I saw three of each at the Marysville WalMart. Along with Optimus and Megatron Voyagers. They had plenty of movie Deluxes besides Barricade(Wave 1). They also had three Concept Camaro Bumblebees. One was in crap condition (package).

This is the first weekend that I didn't see Toys R Us with any new stock.

I forgot to add, I went to the Marysville Target to see what they had. Apparently they have a few boxes of Movie Deluxes, G1 Starsceams, and Evolution of a Hero 2 pack waiting to be put on the floor the release date of the DVD.

Matt, were you able to get the Evolution of a Hero 2 pack?

One last one that's it!! Voyager Starscream repaint and that will complete my collection. If anyone finds one please, please let me know I would hate to have to resort to ebay.

Did anyone snag the Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker I hid at the Renton Walmart this morning???

^Hey Skyblast,

I know for a fact that Marysville Target has them in the back, but they wont pull them out from the back until the 16th. I would try to pick one up for you but I have school and work the entire week. I'll try to stop by that weekend to see if they have any left.

Thanks BB206 for looking out for me. What's great is that the 16th is on a Sunday which means I could be there exactly when they open.....but Marysville is a little too far for me. Shucks. Hummm, maybe I can find a way to make it happen?

Also, something strange? I found a ton Movie Leaders Megatron and Brawl at Fry's for $49.99. Way too much. A sticker which read, overstocck was underneath them. You think they would have at least marked them down....not up? Whatever.

Anyone make any runs this morning? Unfortunately I have too much homework to make any. Also, I don't really have much left I'm looking for.

Oops, you beat me upon edit. Above was my one run.

No runs for me today. After finding Thundercracker and Rescue Ratchet yesterday I'm pretty much done... for now

Now I'm just waiting for the Best Buy exclusives and the new stuff that comes out around Xmas time. Anyone know the release date of the Movie Scene packs? I hear the Nightwatch Prime will be released in December. Not looking forward to fighting the Xmas shoppers... It's gonna be crazy!
