Woodinville Target is empty in the Transformer section. They still have a couple of the transforming case movie.

Don't know what to say about the Leader Prime. If you don't want to make the drive, maybe you can give him a partial discount; refund him like $5 or something.

Prime is still a great piece even without all the smokestacks, plus they should be easy to glue back.

If anyone sees/can stash a Leader Prime in the next couple of days, it would be greatly appreciated in addressing my prime with one smokestack problem. Preferably in the Seattle area. Please let me know.

Hunting as of last night around 6:30

Lynnwood TRU: Voyager Blackout x2, Voy. Megs x5, Titanium 6" Prime and Megs 2-pk x4 (Yes! They brought back the $30 paper-weight!)

Lynnwood Target: nothing but Leader Brawl and Wave 3 Scout assortment.

Barrelass - On the Leader Prime note, I did see one at Fred Meyers in Redmond last weekend - you may want to give them a call if it's not too far away from you.

Got up early and went to the Lynnwood BB at opening to try and snag the 2 metallic Voyagers and alas...nothing. Spoke with one guy who told me they haven't gotten anymore then the initial 4 that they had. And of course he had no info on when or if they would get more...I do not blame him, IMHO BB has botched this. Also I checkked for the Transformers Movie Score and they had zero.

Went to Target in Lynwood and they had the usual stuff, but no deluxes. Plenty of their basics though. They also didn't have the Score.

But I was able to pick u p a 25th Anni Lady Jane from their, so it wasn't a complete loss. That was the only G.I. Joe 25th figure they had, and first one I have seen at that store.

Totem Lake Fred Meyers had nothing great, just one '74 BB.

I'm going to drop by a few stores tomorrow morning to see if there is anything left to pick up. I'll probably get a transforming DVD tomorrow.

Matt- was the DVD extra good for the WalMart pack?

Thanks.

BB206, if you see a Leader Prime on your trips (if it isn't to hard to do, since he is bulky) stash it. I looked at about ten stores today, cause I want to help out the guy I sold the one to that ended up with the missing stack.

Also, if anyone is looking for anything in the southend, I have seen about everything lately (except GI Joes, only stormshaddow who seems to be everywhere).

Went to Everett WalMart and Everett Target.

Everett WalMart:
Good number of Deluxes:
Dropkick
Longarm
Bonecruser
Swindle
Dreadwing

Everett Target:
They had G1 Starscreams on clearance 13.98. They had four left.

I did not see any Leader Primes, just Megatron and Brawl.

Yea it wasn't too bad. Have you ever read the prequel comic? Basically it was the entire prequel comic shown frame by frame with the voice actors narrating. It's all still image, but they do a crafty way of sliding and extruding parts of the comic image to give it motion. It was done pretty good IMO.

Rolled into Best Buy today in Puyallup and found Megatron and Ratchet. They had two of each before I got there, and only a Ratchet there after I left. Wish I could have picked them all up, but I think I am running my credit card up a little bit too much lately, although another $20 probably wouldn't have broken the bank. Megatron is pretty damn nice.

Mon Oct 22, 2007 4:13 pm

^That's good to know. Hopefully everyone that wants one gets one.

Lucky! Wish the Best Buys in my area would restock soon. Unfortunately, whenever I call to check stock, I always get Mr. know it all on the other line and all he tells me is that they probably wont be getting anymore. If any of you happen to stumble across an extra Best Buy Megatron (I know a bunch of us are still looking for them too) could you please grab one for me?

Barrelass - Not sure if you're still looking for that Leader Optimus but if I see one, I'll stash or pick it up for you...

Yea, I am still looking for it. I told the guy I sold it to that I would take it back when I get a chance to get up to Seattle (if one is found in the Seattle area, stashing that big sucker would be best cause the guy I sold it to lives up there). I am trying to pull one of my stacks out, but mine seem prettywell stuck.

I wish I had the cash to pick up more of the Megs or Ratchet if seen, but having this guys $40 he paid me for Prime in limbo, and other expenses, I am pretty tight on funds.

I'll be able to check out the North End this weekend (Marysville/Lake Stevens and northward) If there is a leader class Prime out there, one of us will flush it out for you Barrelass.
With this being a payday weekend, if it is in the north-end, snagging it wont be a problem and swapping it out with your customer might even be a doable thing if it helps save you on the gas/time factor. Just throwing the option out there.(myself, I wouldn't mind if I had a Prime with one stack. I have an 8 & 10 year old, so it would only be a matter of time before it lost a stack anyway

)

Well, the guy I sold it to is going to be in Kent tomorrow, so I am gonna take it back from him. I am gonna try to get a Leader Megatron at Target or something if I can swap it there. From my searching more on this, it looks like they won't be releasing anymore of them until sometime in November (Atleast that is what the online preorder sites say). Sucks, that I got a bunk one, cause the guy seems like a pretty big fan, and its not like the price was bad ($40). Thanks for looking out everyone that hunted for a good one for me, greatly appreciated.

If anyone is really in need of that Best Buy Megatron, I am thinking that I don't really need the second one (considered ebaying it, but I am not really an ebay guy), I was just so damn excited when I found them. Problem is (especially after this Prime thing) I don't want to do any driving since I get about 10 mpg and live in Puyallup.

Barrelass - PM sent regarding BB Megatron..

Wed Oct 24, 2007 2:52 pm

I don't usually get to go hunting on weekday (stupid work)mornings, but I found a Rescue Ratchet at Target today. They had one Thundercracker, but he was banged up and think someone else grabbed him.

This is encouraging, since I haven't seen a Voyager Class figure at a Target since probably July. It may be worth checking Targets...

Wed Oct 24, 2007 6:36 pm

i snagged the last arcee behind a bunch of first wave deluxes at kholes in lynnwood ( nothing at target or toysrus.....). YESH! i only brought 10 bucks with me and i looked at the thing. 12.99 D=. but they were on sale and the total was $9.90 phew! :DANCE:

News Credits: 5 · Wed Oct 24, 2007 11:31 pm

Barrelass - No sweat on the Megatron. Glad you opted to sell to a friend rather than sell on Ebay.

:grin:

I literally walked into the Southcenter Best Buy about an hour ago (830pm) since I was in the area. I walked to the toy section not expecting to find anything... lo and behold there was a Megatron and Ratchet screaming my name and telling me to take them home! I had to do a double take because I couldn't believe my eyes 8-}

That was the only set that I saw there. Since I managed to snag a Ratchet on the 16th, I have an extra one if anyone is interested...

woohoo! good times, good times! :DANCE:

Still no luck for me and the Best Buy exclusives. Where are they generally placed?

I saw them right under the new release DVDs in Puyallup.

Good to see that someone else got them and had about the same reaction as me. I was so excited I had to grab both the Megatrons. Kind of the same feeling when I finally got the Bumblebee a few months back.

I found the set back in the toy section. Best Buy dosen't have a big toy section, it's probably only half an isle worth. The one at Southcenter is located back by the car stereo stuff, just after the DVD sections..

By the way, skyblast has dibs on the extra Ratchet since he contacted me first. Good luck to all still in the hunt..

Barrelass - I just read a post that walmart.com has Leader Prime in stock. Looks like shipping is free if you opt to ship to your local store and pick up. below is the link, better hurry!
