^thanks for the PM, havent been able to venture far enough to find anything yet, everywhere I go is flooded with allsparks. just thought I would send out a general warning to you guys on the GI Joe 2-packs since the next wave is hitting the shelves. Make sure that the tape on the back hasn't been removed or altered. Two of the ones that I got had the stickers for the Rescue Doc removed. Had to take them back and have the target employee remove ones from other packs since they didn't have anymore of the ones I had bought.

Target Woodinville was dead.

I did find all of the SW Evolutions sets there this past weekend (they're popping up mostly at Target stores), got them all.

With the Premiums supposedly on the way, I thought I'd throw out the idea of sending out PMs to each other to help everyone track down the Premiums they are looking for.

I know whether the figures turn out to be great or not they will be scalperbait and I thought PMs would help. Just like with Walmart SS.

^Sounds good, although most of my sightings will be coming from the south sound. I will say that the figures I will be looking for are:
Premium BB
Stealth BB
Target Exclusive BB
Premium Megs.

Oh, and TRU in Puyallup had battle scenes which is no big deal except with the Buy 2 get one free, you can get three for $40. Also had some voyagers.

Count me in on the PM deal! However, Im more interested in the WalMart, TRU and Target exclusives. Dont know exactly when they are going to arrive but I bet its soon. According to a post I read a while back, the Premium figures are going to be mass released, hopefully this is true so we wont have to be running all over town for them. Either way... the more help, the better! Happy hunting guys

Sounds like a plan. Although I wont be doing much hunting until late March.

Woodinville Target had the Wave 2 Legend 2-pks. One NW Prime/SS and at least two Ironhide/Blackout.

They also had Destro with the gold head (I've only ever seen the silver headed one once at Walmart), but I think he's hard to find. They also had a couple of other lesser figure from his wave, too. BTW, I don't collect Joe's or know very much about them, so that's why my posts with them are pretty weak.

Has anyone seen, or come across any information regarding, the 4 Wal-Mart exclusive deluxe class figures (repaints of Cybertron series Downshift, Thindercracker etc.) I am looking to get my hands on Big Daddy and Grindcore but after the initial info on them came out I have not heard anything more about them.

Also, once again, I seem to be playing hit or miss with the Target Scout Class figures. I would normally consider this an annoyance but after all of you watching what I went through tracking down Strongarm, I have come to accept the fact that this may well turn into a long running joke and I'm mostly o.k. with that. Still, if you see Stormsurge, drop me a line. Thanks.

There were at least a couple of Stormsurge at the Woodinville Target.

I don't think any of that stores new wave of Scout Class figures have moved much...

Fri Feb 22, 2008 5:55 pm

Totem Lake Fred Meyers had all of the Wave 1 and 2 Deluxe and wave 1 Voyager Allspark figures.

Plus, at the 20% off price. Which means the Deluxes are good, but the Voyagers are already selling for $22, so that's not much of a savings.

Lakewood Target Has Evac, Warpath, And Crosshairs In....Didn't See Any StormSurges But, I'll Assume For The Moment That He's Been In And Gone.

Mon Feb 25, 2008 11:17 am

Hunt yesterday:

Woodinville Target: nothing, no exclusives / 1 Stormsurge
Alderwood Target: nothing / at least 3 Stormsurge
Alderwood Walmart: new FAB wave, the one with night Megs. They had one Rally BB Saturday, but he was gone Sunday. No exclusives
Alderwood TRU: 4 voyager SS, but he's so old. No exclusives
Northgate K-mart: no Animated

Northgate TRU: BB/Scorpie Legends pack
Redmond Target: nothing
Redmond Fred Meyers: Allspark wave assortment. Nothing great

Hey all -

there were reports from the other forums that the walmart exclusives have made it to the walmarts up north and in bremerton. can anyone confirm the sightings?

Wed Feb 27, 2008 10:55 am

Based on those other reports, I hit Walmarts in the northend:

Alderwood Walmart: supposedly had the exclusives, but when I got there, they just had alot of Movie wave 1 deluxes - which is a sign.

***Everett Walmart: picked up the only exclusives there; Divebomb x2 and Jolt x2. There was also alot of Movie wave 1 there, as well. Makes me think the exclusive might be shipping with movie wave 1 assortment. They also had the Robot Heroes exclusive 5-pk - in abundance.

Was traveling around today, and saw all of the exclusives, only picked up Grindcore and Big Daddy (not sure which I will keep, or if I will pick up others). Saw a Storm Surge at one of the targets, and there were a load of the Robot Heroes exclusives at one of the Walmarts. And a load of every single Deluxe from the beginning at one of the Walmarts. Something like 20 of each bumblebee. If anyone is in the Southsound and wants the info on where, hit me up with an PM.

Thu Feb 28, 2008 11:04 am

I checked the north end Walmarts:

Alderwood: no exclusives
Everett: just the Robot Heroes multi-pack, no exclusive deluxes
Marysville: Just the Robot Heroes multi-pack, no exclusive deluxes

Most of the deluxe pegs were pretty full, so I don't know if there will even be room for the exclusives, maybe after this weekend it will clear up.

Just a bit of a waste of a 65 mile round-tripper.

As of first thing this morning, there was a fair amount of the exclusive deluxe figures ate the Everett Wal-Mart, but they were not with the rest of the Transformers. They are on a center End Cap all the way down by the kids books. Why the heck they put them there, I don't know and if it hadn't been for me taking a shortcut to another department I never would have seen them. They're getting sneaky about this stuff so check the entire toy sections thoroughly at the other Wal-Marts if you don't see the exclusives right away.

For some dumb reason, I checked Renton Walmart last night and found zero Robot Hero exclusives and zero deluxe exclusives.

They had the usual lot of Allspark and wave 1 movie deluxes, which I consider as a sign that the deluxe exclusive were there once...

Hopefully, this weekend I might be able to check some other Walmarts and finally find Big Daddy and Grindcore to complete my set.

Hey Guys...

As I was telling Cyberjet #7, I should appologize for the detailed info I let slip about how/where to find the Wal-Mart Dlx.Excl. figures. Too little sleep the night before is no excuse and I hope that a scalper does not profit from my mistake. If one should profit, I pray that Primus is kind enough to let me find him behind a Wal-Mart at a later date so that I can... correct my mistake and restore balance. :twisted:

Also wanted to say thanks to those of you who have kept your eyes open for Stormsurge for me. I was all set to snag him out in Woodinville but shorter work hours and higher gas prices have screwed up my last 2 paychecks. Food and gas have won out over Transformers. Please keep the updates going. My hours are picking up and this next week I should be able to get him. Thanks again.

For those interested in the Legends 2-Packs, I came across 2 figures that I have not seen listed yet. An "Ice" Megatron version and Skorponok. The Megatron is just a repaint with blue highlights and comes packaged with Jazz, who appears to have some damage/details added. Skorponok comes with a 74' Camaro Bumblebee.
It's rather a bummer on the timing of these figures since I had already declared my Legends collection complete and now these 2 pop up when I'm short on disposable income. Luck like this is why I don't play Lotto!

Don't worry about the Walamrt stuff. I found nothing at Everett on Friday, but I did get 3 Big Daddy's from Marysville that day. They had Grindcore, but each copy was mauled.

Otherwise, I found no exclusives at all this weekend. They're going quick it seems, like the Walmart MP SS.

Tue Mar 04, 2008 6:28 pm

Non TF item:

If any of you *cool* members of this forum find any of the Halo 3 figures, could you PM with types and locations?

I just have the Master Chief and Brute Chief right now.

I've seen some at Walmart in Renton and at some Fred Meyers. I've also heard a disturbing rumor that they will not be available at Lynnwood or Everett Walmart. But I'm not sure about Marysville.

Thank you in advance!

Well, since not many people live in the South Sound that regularly post, I thought I would throw this up here. The Walmart on 160th on South Hill in Puyallup had a ton of the exclusives, even more than the last time I went there. I broke down and picked up Jolt. There were probably atleast 8 of each there. So I guess keep your eyes out up north, cause there still may be a bunch more to come up there.
