I was kidding about the Jazz.

BTW, do you still need a Con. BB? I've passed up lots of them because I thought we on the forum were caught up. If you need one, I'll snag the next one I see for you. Just speak up.

My hunt for 08B still continues. Found about 7 77B's at the Tukwila TRU, and an extreme amount of Swindles.

I ended up getting 77B and Topkick. I might go back tomorrow after work and pick up a second one. Maybe I can kitbash the second into an Autobot version.

In 5 stores in the north end last night, I've found nothing.

T-Mack - TRU Lynnwood had lots of TF legends figures last night. Prime, Megs, SS, and Blackout.

Thanks for looking out for the Legends figures, Cyberjet. I did finally snag Legends Starscream, so now I can be content until the 2-packs start hitting the shelves. Still no Scout class Strongarm however, and I would love to be able to snag that one before Stormsurge gets released. Anyone spotting Strongarm at their local Target store, please let me know.

Elvaan - haven't seen a Con. BB this weekend. Lynnwood TRU had tons of deluxes (wave 1 and 2), but no BB.

T-Mack - Most Targets I've hit, have had the same assortment (and quantity) of Scout Class figures. I hate to say it but I don't think they'll be getting more in after the new year. You may want to hit Ebay.

Auburn and Kent Fred Meyers have an over-population of Movie Megs and SS.

Well, it would appear that last nights switch to the new format did not go quite as seamless as we could have hoped. Bummer about losing 2 pages of posts, hopefully everyone was caught up before info was lost.
After cruising around yesterday I was able to determine that Everett TRU seems to be the only place (at least in Snohomish/Skagit counties) that has/had the Allspark Deluxes and Legends 2-packs.
By no means did I hit every store that carries TF products, so this is not a blanket statement of fact, but of all the stores I have hit, only the one had them and the others were too hectic to bother checking their computer systems. The figures may be floating around King or Pierce counties but after my attempt at Christmas shopping in Bellevue, they can stay in those counties till after the holidays . My powers of intimidation had no effect on the Eastside shoppers and I was forced to retreat to the safety of suburban Snohomish county where my black leather, heavy-metal demeanor allowed me to manuver the crowds with greater ease. :twisted:

The overabundance of cell towers must be interfering with my bad-ass projector. I need stronger batteries before I try again!

Odd, I posted as a guest. I didn't think that was possible! Anyway, I have my full Decepticon gear and my bad-ass projector is fully charged (Matt, I wish I could borrow your rig for this adventure instead of using my battle wagon). Anyone with tips on where else to find Allspark figs. or Legends 2-packs
let me know quick. I may not make it out of the Eastside alive what with it being a Saturday afternnoon right before Christmas. I'm less apprehensive about going into Tacoma's Hilltop area and I'm a white guy! If I don't come out in one piece, Merry Christmas to all and no you can't have my TF's. Those go to my kids.

Movie scene battle packs spotted today at the Renton Walmart! Thanks to Skyblast, I got my hands on the FIrst Encounter and Final Stand packs. Feel like a sucker paying $19 each tho... (:|

oh well, i was hurtin' for a TF fix!

Wed Dec 26, 2007 9:15 pm

Only have a week and a half left of break. Hopefully I can find something good, all I'm looking for is the Last Stand scene. I'll post if I see any All Spark Deluxes again.

Fri Dec 28, 2007 10:34 am

Targets are still pretty dead.

They do, however, have the TF Movie Chess set on clearance, from $29.95 to $20.95. If anyone here is into miniature or model painting, this chess set is pretty good. I've begun painting the entire set and right now my Jazz piece looks great.

Fri Dec 28, 2007 12:12 pm

Well, if anyone is looking for them, Landmine and Camshaft are on Hasbrotoyshop.com. Cliffjumper is marked coming soon.

News Credits: 1 · Fri Dec 28, 2007 11:40 pm

The one glimmer of hope that we may yet have with the new Allspark figures is that if the "Allspark" Blue color is the same on all of them then what we have seen in the photos is just really crappy lighting. Cliffjumpers Allspark accents are not powder blue and, in fact, look really good!
BB.206 and I both got ours from the same place but I have not heard if anyone else out there managed to have any luck over the holidays. Those of you who may be hesitant about picking them up because of the pictures, have faith that they are not that horrible in person.

Well guys, it's been nice knowing some of you and posting with all of you, but T-Macksimus is outta here.
I just posted a disgruntled notice on the TF-Animated Premiere - Round 2 forum and decided that I have had enough with crap I have been putting up with from folks on this site. (Not any of you guys, you folks ROCK!) It's sad because I felt a sense of community and kinship with the NW Seibertronians but have gotten s**t on by the larger community. Since we don't have our own exclusive NW site I can't exactly access this part without accessing the larger "machine" as it were.
So, good luck in all your journeys, may all your hunts be successful and remember...That which does not kill us is probably swinging around for a 2nd pass!

Respectfully...

Does Primus always get minor amounts of love?

I was at Wal-Mart in Covington yesterday, and there were still plenty of Cybertron Primus...

****ing awesome TF.

T-Mack - just because the larger forum community may be problematic doesn't mean you have to quit posting here on the local thread. I do understand what it's like to bow out of crummy forums though... I could name a Star Wars one. But don't let a few bad apples ruin it for you.

As for hunting, this weekend TRU's still were lagging from the holidays, but area Targets looked like they got some late Christmas shipments. They had restocked their TFs, GI Joes, and SW, unfortunately with older stock - no AllSpark. The only TF that was worth it was Con. BB at Lynnwood yesterday.

Also, Kicks has the Encore Ratchet and Ironhide in stock - $40 each. Not bad. I picked up Ironhide.

On a side note, I need just 6 more figures to complete my basic figure set for Star Wars this year (there are 60 total). Five of those are commons (clones and stuff) but, if anyone spots a McQuarrie Snowtrooper and could grab it or let me know where, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

$30? Thanks for the info. I might have to snag that one

Yes, T-Mackimus it would suck if you left us. I to have left other forums, mainly because of pompous, stuck-up, arrogant individuals trying to run things. However, I don't really seem to get that around here. In the end aren't we are all simply in front computer screens anyway? What ever you decide to do...peace brotha.

To everyone a happy New Year!!! Now let's get 2008 over and done with so we can get to TF2!!!!

Mon Dec 31, 2007 12:54 pm

The first three (Camshaft, Cliffjumper, Landmine) of the all spark power deluxes are on Hasbrotoyshop.com. So if you're looking to save gas and time pick them up there.

Mon Dec 31, 2007 9:43 pm

Target got in the Battle packs, only saw the Barracade and Towtruck ones in Puyallup (I think I will only buy the Bumblebee if I find it). Also, GI Joe 2-Packs are showing up (atleast there). Didn't pick any up cause I don't know which ones my cousin is going for. I know if you collect the points from them, there is a mail away figure.

Happy New Year everyone! I don't have much time to run out to stores these days so I went ahead and ordered the 3 Allspark figs thru Hasbro.com. You can also use the code "TFPEPSI" and knock off $5 from the total price. After tax and shipping the price comes to about $33. Pretty much the same as what you would spend at the stores minus the gas. :grin:

Guess I posted as a guest last time, same stuff as before, but Target had the GI Joe 5-packs on clearance 30% off. The Puyallup one had a TON of them, so here's hoping they go to 50% soon. But picked up Legions for my cousin for $17.50, and a couple 2-packs.

Also, does anyone know where I can get the Flag/Battle Points for GI Joe?

Also, if anyone missed out, walmart.com has MP Starscream now.

Happy New Year everyone.

I haven't been able to do much searching for the new stuff yet. Still recovering from X-mas. I need to go to Kicks to get the next 2 Encore and the 30% on the G.I.Joe packs is VERY tempting..

And T. you know how I feel. Hopefully you will check your PM's.

Thu Jan 03, 2008 10:42 am

None of the Target's in the north seem to have gone through their resets yet. Supposedly, when they do we may see the Movie scene packs and Allspark legends 2-pks.

Hopefully, this weekend may be best.

On a side note, I'll throw out the idea of a TF Meet-up group again - it may help those who feel the forums are too fickle.
