I've placed a favorite quote in my signature line but would like feedback as to whether or not any of you find it objectionable. I consider it PG-13 at most but some folks have differing views and it is not my place to offend anyone here...unless, of course somone tries to offend me or a fellow member first, but I don't want to be the one to start something objectionable. Please PM me if you feel my sig. needs altering, otherwise I shall leave it since it suits my personality quite well. Thanks for the input, good or bad. It's appreciated.

^as someone who is a strong beleiver in doing paperwork and its importance, I am highly offended. :grin:

B, I've SO got a box of Post-it's with your name on it!

Are there any other objections, cause the only other thing that I would put on my sig. line is "Chaos, Panic & Disorder...My Work Is Done Here!"

BTW, Thanks Barrelass. I just came in from working on my car and I needed something to crack a smile about.

Considering that we're about the only three that post here lately, I say the sig is cool.

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!

Last Friday I was at the Lake City Fred meyer and they had a bunch. I had the Master Chief and a Red Spartan in my hand but I ended up putting back the Master Chief as I could really only afford the red Spartan (after about 5 minutes of debating

). I havent seen them anywhere else, Everette TRU had the pegs out, but there was nothing there.

Ive been really strapped for cash lately so I havent been able to do very much hard core searching for these figures. I have only been picking up the really good stuff like the Target exclusives. I still haven't found the WM ones.

Thanks for the heads up T. but I was WAY too late.

EDIT: I did pick up the Fett legacy and Vaders Apprentice Evolution packs from the Everett WM today (which counts as some of the "really good stuff" I can afford to bite the bullet on).

I was able to pick up 3 of the 4 WalMart exclusives at the Everett WM. The only one I need now is Grindcore. They only had 1 of the other 3 so I snagged them.

I'm sure you got the PM about how jealous I am of your 25th Anniv. VF-1S. 3 out of the 4 of the WM exclusives?? And from the WM just blocks away from my house?? You're just trying to give me a complex, aren't you? It's working. :sad:

Good thing I get my check tomorrow. I can finish off the Legends and RH lines and Stormsurge will be the cherry on top to distract me from the bigger ticket stuff I don't have and can ill afford.

One thing of interest...K-Mart is having a buy 1 get 1 for 50% off deal on TF's. With their inflated prices on toys that is still just slightly less than Wal-Marts normal price.

Is there any class restriction or is it buy any 2 at any price?

Oh and I did take a gallery for both the VF-1S and YF-19 20th Anni if you want to see them

Found the Jackal Sniper and Blue Mark VI at Marysville Walmart Saturday morning. As for the variant orange and Walmart Blue CQB, I don't think they're out yet; so I'm skipping them.

They still had a few of the TF exclusive Divebomb and Jolt there as well.

The ad did not indicate any restriction on size or class. The last time I was at the Everett K-Mart, they had more space allocated for voyager class figures. There were some deluxe class floating around but for the most part the toy section was in shambles. The two young women who were attempting to stock the area were very grateful for the 15-20 minutes I spent overhauling the boys toys area and restocking stuff in the proper place. TF deluxe figs were portioned only a small, freestanding area on a shelf and 1 peg above the freestanding stuff and were set 5 feet away from where the Voyager stuff was marked to go. So, no restrictions but good luck finding stuff in an organized fashion. Be sure to check both sides of the aisle and from one end to the other, high AND low. That's how bad it was.

Much to my dissapointment, the Everett Wal-Mart restocked last night and the exclusives were nowhere to be had. If it weren't for the fact that I had already picked up Stormsurge (yay, no more putting up with T's bitching) and Legends Skorponok/Bumblebee, I might have been grouchier about it. I also have a First Strike Prime that I really could not afford to get and may yet return, but I'm still debating.
Thanks one and all who kept their eyes open for Stormsurge for me.
I have just one other small favor/challenge...has anyone been able to find the Transformers Movie Score. I can find the regular soundtrack everywhere but I can't seem to locate Jablonskis' incredible work. This quest is frustrating me worse than my hunt for Strongarm. If anyone finds it, please PM me. Thanks.

^good luck with finding the score, looks like it is going for quite a bit on ebay. I will check the local CD shop here tomorrow and see if they happen to have it. They have a lot of random stuff. Speaking of ebay, I just moved back into its wonderful world picking up a G1 Hoist tonight. I think this is gonna lead to a lot of problems, cause I am a huge G1 fan and don't have many of the cars yet. I am gonna need to start making some money to support this hobby.

On another note, does anyone have any plans on going to the comic-con in may up in Seattle, there should be a fair amount of transformers stuff there. Also, has anyone gone to the little Bot convention that they hold in the Tacoma/Seattle area? I can't remember the name, but stumbled across pics from last years, it didn't look too big, but who knows.

Thu Mar 13, 2008 10:11 am

I haven't heard of either of those, though if you have any more info. I would definantly be interested in going. I still have not been to any toy shows since being in Washington.

News Credits: 5 · Thu Mar 13, 2008 2:11 pm

well this is what I found on them:

I am not into comics, but it looks like there are a fair amount of toy vendors at the comic con. I don't think the cybcon is that big, it took some digging to find it, but with the revival of transformers, it may be growing.

News Credits: 1 · Sat Mar 15, 2008 2:05 pm

Barrelass, thanks for keeping an eye out for the CD.
If I can at all manage it, I am going to try to attend the comic-con.
I know the guys who coordinate the event (on an acquaintance level anyway) and I kind of owe it to them to attend this year since I have missed the last few and they have been nice enough to hook me up with some of the rare "Dealer Incentive" and a few autographed and limited edition holo-foil covers. Also, I may be able to help out your G1 collection. I'll PM you later with more details.
Any of you cross-over collectors (G.I. Joe) let me know what figures
or vehicles you may want from the original series. I have been entrusted with selling my buddies collection and I would rather see some of you folks get it than throw it to the winds of e-bay.

Im going to the comic con for sure, I love those!

Yesterday I hit up a few Wal-Marts and they had the usual, nothing really special. I was looking fr the Wal-Mart exclusive Blue Spartan but came up with no luck. The Tualip super Wal-Mart did have the 4 Transformer exclusives as of 1AM this morning so I snagged Grindcore. Not a whole lot of other stuff going on, just the usual. Oh I did pick up a McQuarrie Han Solo from the Everett TRU so now I am down to 7 figures left of the 30th Anni 2007 figures.

Mon Mar 17, 2008 9:58 am

Marysville Walmart ahd one each of Divebomb, Jolt, and Big Daddy on Saturday morning.

Bellvue and Lynnwood TRU have the Blackout/Scorponok 2-pks back in stock. Multiples at both stores. Bellvue TRU also had the Halo figures.

AC Starscream, which Star Wars figures did you still need?

News Credits: 5 · Tue Mar 18, 2008 1:14 am

T-mack, no dice at the local CD shop on the Transformers Score. I will keep an eye out, but it looks pretty doubtful. As far as the G1 stuff, I am always interested if it is at a reasonable price, although most of my money/time/stress is invested in starting up a dodgeball/adult sports league in Puyallup right now, so I don't know that I will have much money till we start signing people up for that.

Puyallup Walmart out south hill still has Jolt and the exclusive jet (not sure if they have the otherones, didn't look too close cause I have no money, and already have the ones I want) as well as the exclusive robot heroes. No Toys R Us exclusive Joes yet, which is good cause my cousin still owes me from the last batch.

Thu Mar 20, 2008 9:57 am

Nothing new at the Lynnwood TRU, except the Blackout/Scorpie 2-pk. exclusive. They did finally put out the Halo3 figures, but there was nothing of note.

I did find an extra Cortana for possible openers - which was great.

Not really a sighting of Premiums, but someone in WA has posted an auction for Premium Barricade and Jazz on Ebay. It doesn't look like a pre-order.

Could it be anyone here?

HA! you beat me to it

I was just on ebay and i saw that auction. Hope this means they are finally hitting the shelves. here is the link to the Stealth BB auction.. ending within the hour..

Fri Mar 21, 2008 1:41 pm

I'm hoping they'll be coming out soon. I'm still on the fence about all of the Premiums - I need to see them in person to tell if they'll be worth it.

But it's funny, back at the beginning of AllSpark, there was an auction coming out of WA for several figures that weren't readily out yet. I wonder if this the same guy and he's just cracking into the backstock of a retail store early.

In any case, this is one of the few non-Oriental area auctions I've seen recently (another one came out of the Midwest, I think), so the Premiums should be on there way.

Last night after getting off of work I went to the Lynnwood WM and they have a awesome stock of Transformers, and a alot of the older waves as well. They have restocked their cinema scenes. As usual though they havent put out any Halo figures and have CRAP for a Star Wars figure section (3 or 4 of the 06 Saga legends imperial officer and nothing else).

I took advantage of the TRU buy 2 get 1 free and picked up Stockade, Downshift and Overcast at the Ev TRU. Everett WM and Target has the usual, no exclusives at the WM. Lynnwood TRU and Target also has about the general usual. Nothing new yet.

Lynnwood TRU has the new wave of Joes though! I picked up Rock N Roll, Armored Cobra Commander, Iron Grenadier Destro and Torpedo.

L TRU also had several unopened cases of Star Wars figures and I was able to snag a few Darktroopers. I feel kind of guilty for doing it, but I picked up 2 for me and one for my dad. I am not selling them on Ebay for hiked up prices. They should still have 3 or 4 left and a case or 2 that has McQuarrie Han Solo.
