Whoever he is, he is a filthy liar.

I jumped up to Lynnwood with some hope because I know the Star Wars '08 stuff had hit a couple of Walmarts unexpectedly. Their was also that report of DD Brawl in CA, so I was hopeful. Instead I found the following:

Lynnwood Walmart (had 0 deluxes)
Target (Wave 2 movie deluxe pegwarmers)
TRU (Wave 2 movie deluxe pegwarmers)

You would think that even if the Premiums hit and given their case assortment I would have at least found a lone Camshaft or Overcast (both destined to be pegwarmers). Instead all I could find was a couple NW Primes and Wave 2 Movie Deluxes - nothing Allspark related.

Take what this guy says with a grain of salt.

im getting ready to go on a little hunting trip.. hoping to find DD Brawl and Stockade. i'll post my findings (if any) later tonight.

I've been keeping a look out for new TF stuff but there hasnt been much. I am finding the new FAB all over the place, and a few of the new Voyagers (minus Incenerator) at all the various places. Nightwatch Prime is at the Lynnwood WM, same with the Tulwiape(sp?) WM, but no new deluxes. I will grab these guys but I am holding out for now.

Pretty much all Targets have had the Allspark Wave 1 deluxes in stock. All three are now kinda easy to find.

Area TRUs and Walmarts continue to lag behind. I was really hoping the Target Exclusive Met. SS would have come out this weekend, but no such luck.

Do any of you know if the allspark deluxe figs have the same DCPI# as the regular deluxe figs from Target?

Mon Feb 04, 2008 10:56 am

They do have the same DCPI number. I've seen lots of Allspark mixed into the movie deluxe pegs. And when they scan, they read as the same thing.

Leader DD Brawl at Walmart in Puyallup today. I have decided that I am only buying all the different bumblebee repaints and nothing else, so I passed.

Thanks for the verification Cyberjet. I have a few older Deluxe figs that I want to return. Target is the only store that I know of that does not give detailed descriptions on their receipts other than the DCPI number and the word "transformers".

now all i have to do is hunt down a couple allspark deluxe figs that i dont have yet and return the old wave stuff with the new receipt :roll:

Anyone have any friends in the Vancouver Canada area? I already have Metroplex, but would take another if it wernt for the fact that the only person I know up there is a 75 year old lady. http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/clt/562049621.html

Not a bad price at all.

Thanks for the sighting tip! I was able to go down to my local wallys and pick one up there. ;)^

Good to hear that DD Brawl is in the south, now in about 3-4 weeks I can start looking for him up here. He's one of the last Allspark figures I care about.

This is what I found last night around 7:30pm at one of my local Targets. The Transformers section was completely filled with older wave stuff. This Target didn't have any of the new Allspark line... and yes, that is BB on the lower left peg. Sorry for the blur, first time using my camera phone

Target Puyallup has started to get Allspark figs in. Saw Cliffjumper, Camshaft, and Landmine yesterday. Didn't pick up any of them, may get Stockade if I can find him. I did pick up another Capture of BB since the first one I got had two big dents in it, so Walmart Puyallup has one Capture of BB now on the shelf with a huge dent in it.

Had some business to do up by Northgate today. Decided to stop by TRU and Target on the way home.
TRU had a few NW Prime, 74 BB, and the regular gang of deluxe figs.
Target has all 3 of the Allspark deluxe figs. There were at least 3 Cliffjumpers as of 7pm.

Walmart in Renton will be FULLY stocked with wave 1 allspark deluxe, voyager and leader figures (minus incinerator and stockade). Older wave deluxe, including Concept BB, and voyager figs will also be there. If you go first thing in the morning, i promise you won't be disappointed! it'll be like the Christmas morning all over again! :mrgreen:

My gas tank is almost empty, payday isn't until Monday and I can't even afford to pick up the last 2 sets of Robot Heroes that I need. Somebody head down to Renton and make out like a bandit, then tell us all about it so that I can at least live vicariously through someone else until I get my check.

(I gotta admit, it hurt like hell having First Strike Prime in my hot little hands and then having to set him back on the shelf. This will be the first time in a long while that I have actually looked forward to a Monday.)

Hunt today:

Woodinville Target: Landmine and Camshaft, about 4 each

***Alderwood Walmart: All Wave 1 Allspark deluxes (lots of each), multiple Voyagers (at least 2 of each, including 2 Evac) and 3 NW Primes. I was able to pick up the only DD Brawl there - guess I won't have to wait 3-4 weeks.

Alderwood Target: Allspark Landmine and Camshaft

Alderwood TRU: Wave 2 movie deluxes, including 1 Con. BB, that I'm sure is already gone.

Sun Feb 10, 2008 9:11 pm

Fred Meyer's have a 20% off all action figures right now.
As of this afternoon, the Ballard FM had a few First Strike Primes, Off-Road Ironhide, a bunch of Nightwatch Leader Primes, the battle scenes, and a lot of older deluxes (Arcee, Dropkick, Scorponok, final battle Jazz - didn't see any of the Allspark guys).

News Credits: 337 · Wed Feb 13, 2008 2:52 pm

Yup the Lynnwood WM has all of wave 1. I was able to snatch up Landmine. My dad picked me up a Camshaft and Incenerator back in NM a few days ago. I was really impressed at how Camshaft looks, can't wait to recieve mine.

Wed Feb 13, 2008 10:28 pm

All spark scouts storm surge, cross hair and warpath spotted at the Renton, Landing Target. Multiples of each as of 5pm this evening.

News Credits: 5 · Thu Feb 14, 2008 12:21 am

Puyallup Target has allspark deluxe Wave 1
Puyallup Walmart has 25th Joe Wave 4
That is about it, I am just searching for Stockade and the premiums if they are ever released. If anyone sees Leader Megs in the southsound, please hit me up, my Aunt is visiting from Canada and wants to pick him up in the next couple weeks for her grandson. I think I am gonna start in on the classics line, ordered Grimlock from Hasbro today. I may have missed the boat, but I will buy one here and there.

Thu Feb 14, 2008 11:21 am

Woodinville Target just had the Allspark deluxes - Wave 1, nothing else of note.

News Credits: 5 · Thu Feb 14, 2008 10:10 pm

Puyallup K-Mart had 1 Evacs and 2 Incinerators. Picked up one of the Incinerators. $21.99, but it saves me from driving around.

Edit: Wasn't sure on him, but now that I have him, he is atcually pretty cool other than the no hands thing. Great articulation, especially the face.

Fri Feb 15, 2008 1:46 pm

Hunt so far:

Woodinville Target: nothing of note
Redmond Target: nothing of note, 2 Con. BB (but he's old)

***Redmond Fred Meyers: Wave 2 Allspark deluxe! Multiple Stockade and Overcast, only one Jungle Crusher left; plus a few Con. BBs. They also had 2 Cap of BB sets and the DD Brawl and NW Prime, plus alot of AS Voyagers. All the toys are 20% off, so the set of three deluxes only cost me $26.10. I was happy.

***Alderwood Walmart: 3 Incinerators left, after I bought one and a number of Stockades left. They also had new Joe's comic packs I had not see before.

Alderwood Target: nothing of note, Joe's Duke, some girl, and another figure that were all stashed - I guess they're valuable.
Alderwood TRU: I wish TRU would just declare bankruptcy, they're such a waste of time.

Now, off to Everett and Northgate. Hopefully some more good stuff...

Puyallup Walmart: Wave 2 Allspark Deluxes and Voyager. Just put em on the shelf when I got there. Tons of Stockade, Landmine, Evac, Incinerator (sp?). Too bad I picked up the one last night, could have saved a couple bucks. Stockade is definately a nice addition to the line.

If anyone sees Leader Megs, Either BB, or the new GI Joe 2-packs down south, let me know, my aunt is here for 10 more days and keeps adding to her list to take back to Canada, and I want the Hasbro mail-in dollars for her purchases.

Edit: Fred Meyer on 72nd in Tacoma had tons of all the allspark characters, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader, all 20% off, too bad I had already bought the ones I wanted.
