As of last night-

Alderwood TRU: nothing, one lone voyager T-Crack. They don't even have pegs marked for deluxe figures, which is discouraging. When I asked them about shipments they said they would be getting spotty trucks, we probably won't see anything till next month.

Alderwood Target: Lots of the new FABs, only one of the new Prime repaint. This is the second time I've seen them and they still look pretty bad...

Bellevue TRU: nothing of note. Probably won't see anything till next month either, but at least they have pegs marked for Deluxe figures.

Woodinville Target: same AllSpark legend 2-pks and one each of the movie scene packs.

On another note, found Wave 5 of the GI Joe singles at Target, however the UPC didn't come up in the computer, and the manager decided that he was gonna put a clearance price on it for me even though I told him that they were $5.99, so lets just say that I got a nice deal on them.

South Hill Walmart as of 8pm tonight has 2 first strike primes, 1 off road ironhide and at least 1 nightwatch.

^thanks for the info, I will probably check it out tomorrow, although my budget is streched right now, finally ordered my MP Megatron tonight (suppost to be unmodded), and decided to get Encore Ratchet and Ironhide as well (since shipping was only about $2 more, and for some reason there was no tax on the site). Checked out a hobby shop on Pacific today, had some G1 stuff, some decently priced classics, and a ton of GI Joes. The guy there gave me info on a couple other shops in the area that I will check out next week.

It was the first good weekend in awhile in the north. On Saturday this is what I found found:

Woodinville Target: All Wave 1 Allspark Voyagers. Picked up Evac to complete that set.
Alderwood Target: Wave 4 Scout Class. Picked up Warpath and Storm Surge. There was only 2 sets of each.
Alderwood TRU: Nothing
Bellevue TRU: Nothing
Factoria Target: All Wave 1 Allspark Voyagers
Issaquah Target: Nothing
Saturday Evening-

Everett Walmart: had 6 Nightwatch Primes. Picked up one.
Everett TRU: Nothing.

I told myself I would not pick up any repaints for Allspark, but all of these looked really good, especially Prime.

With a rush of wind and a mighty rumble, not unlike 100 bungholes puckered in perfect unison, T-Macksimus has returned. I'll understand if you are not impressed, I get that reaction now and then.
I really want to say I Totally Missed You Guys!!!! I bounced around to other sites and they all lacked something, that being this particular collective of kick-ass Washingtonians looking out for one another. Why I let members on the other portions of this site torque me off to the point of leaving I'll never know.
Cyberjet #7, I got the PM but it was 1 week after you sent it. The good news is that I found Strongarm while out shopping for my oldest sons b-day present. :grin:

Matt, I got your PM as well. 3 small words smacked me back to my senses better than a score of lectures ever could. Thanks.

From here on out I'll have to be content to be a lurker on the main boards and chime in on this board where the truly cool Seibertronians are keeping company. Happy Hunting to all and remember...it's not about staying out of trouble, it's about not getting caught.

T-Mack, glad your back.

Good to see you got the Strongarm done and just in time for Wave 4 Scout Class.

Wed Jan 23, 2008 11:36 am

Well, one of the three on my must have list are in stores. The Capture of Bumblebee. I had to pass though...spent too much money over the weekend on my other addiction...shoes.

Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:57 pm

BB.206-

Can you tell us (me) where you found the "Capture of BB" set? That one's on my list, too.

And do you remember if the BB in the set has any new colors? I remember hearing that the movie scene packs were supposed to have some better colors on the Transformers, but the Barricade from my "First Encounter" set looks the same. And obviously, the Longarm has new paint apps.

Thank you!

Wed Jan 23, 2008 11:15 pm

Sorry I didn't mention the location earlier. It was at the Everett WalMart.

Thanks for the tip BB206! I picked up both sets (Capture of BB and Desert Attack) today.

Your other addiction is shoes huh? Were you one of those people who stood in line last weekend to pick up the new Jordans?

Thu Jan 24, 2008 11:31 am

^Fortunately, I use to work at a shoe store so I didn't have to wait in line...I just didn't get a discount and I picked up three other shoes on top of the Jordans...don't really want to think about how much I spent...

Great to have you back T.!

I went to the Lynnwood Wal-Mart last night and finally found some Allspark figures. They had Voyager Evac, Off Road Ironhide and First Strike Optimus Prime. I could only get one and I was torn between the G1 repaint of Prime and Evac...I went away with Evac. They also had the Capture of Bumblebee set as well as Scorpinok.

For Star Wars they had some of the last wave figures (Ewoks, Han Solo torture, Tatoo Anakin and a few others) but I could only afford 2 Hawkbat Clone Troopers (1 for me and 1 for my dad who collects them as well).

G.I. Joe had Cobra Commander, Shipwreck, Crimson Guard and Snow Job. I got Snow job and the C Guard... wow Snow Job is the best figure of the line IMO.

Dunno if anyone still needs him, but Hasbrotoyshop has movie voyager Thundercracker on sale right now for $15.99
(there's also a bunch of other TF stuff (including Robot Heroes & Real Gears) on sale there too...)

Well since no one has posted in a few days:

Puyallup Walmart: 1 Capture of Bumblebee left (I may take mine back, didn't notice the big crease in the front of the package).

Puyallup Walmart: 3 Deluxe Cliffjumpers if anyone hasnt gotten one yet.

Well, I finally got my 20th DVD Prime, and I am actually pretty impressed. Found it on Craigslist Phoenix Arizona for $55, and happened to have a buddy down there that owed me $100 for a dumb bet that he was never gonna pay anyway, so I told him we were even if he bought/shipped it to me. Tomorrow should MP Megs and Encore 05 & 06 "Stalker" Vans should arrive in the mail.

Places hit on Sat:

Woodinville Target
Alderwood TRU, Target, and Walmart
Everett TRU, Target, and Walmart
Northgate TRU and Target

Places hit Sun:

Woodinville Target
Alderwood Target and Walmart
Bellevue TRU
Renton Walmart

Items found: 0

TRUs mostly have Wave 2 deluxes and voyagers, plus NW Prime. Walmart and Target have about the same. All stores had ALOT of stock so it may be awhile before they restock. Dissappointing...

wow, im disappointed just reading that post! i feel pretty defeated when i come home empty handed myself (:|

has anyone seen incinerator yet? i did a search on ebay last night and saw that someone from bonney lake had one up for auction but for some reason, ended it early.

Tue Jan 29, 2008 1:54 pm

Let's just say my wife is VERY understanding. Every weekend I say "this will be the one where I find Cliffjumper" and I've been saying that for awhile...

Incinerator should be out in Wave 2 Allspark Voyagers, included with the Premium figures.

Not a toy sighting, but I was at the supermall (or whatever it is called) in Auburn today, and a store called Steve & Barry's had some pretty decent transformers shirts for $8.88 each (and may have been $15 for two). Only problem, the one I bought had a sticker that said XL on the front and it is only a large.

News Credits: 5 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 8:47 pm

Just got back from a mini run this afternoon.

Fred Meyers in Renton:
Various older wave deluxe figs
1 offroad ironhide
3 NW Prime

Walmart Renton:
Various older wave deluxe figs
1 offroad ironhide
3 desert battle movie scene
1 final stand movie scene

Fred Meyer Burien:
Various older wave deluxe figs
1 evac
1 offroad ironhide

One thing I should mention, Fred Meyers is having a sale on all action figs. right now it's buy 2 and get 1 free. too bad they haven't received their allspark deluxe figs yet. May be worth it if you are planning on getting all 3 of the new allspark voyagers.

Happy Hunting!

Wed Jan 30, 2008 1:11 am

Hey guys just thought I'd throw this out there. My brother in law mailed these up here to me from Southern California this afternoon w/o receipts. He wanted to do something nice for me since I have been helping him out with star wars figures. I didn't have the heart to explain to him that I'm not really into the Allspark line. :-(

Cliffjumper
Landmine
Camshaft
Offroad

Sold

Wed Jan 30, 2008 5:31 am

Air Commander Starscream have you been getting my pm's?

Wed Jan 30, 2008 3:56 pm

Woodinville Target unleashed their *barrage* of Wave 2 Deluxes. Full pegs, no Con. BBs.

It'll be awhile before they see my Cliffjumper...

Fri Feb 01, 2008 3:57 pm

Finally found one Cliffjumper, now to get a second for sealed/loose.

After that I can relax till the Premiums...

Anybody else here do any hunting?

News Credits: 5 · Fri Feb 01, 2008 6:35 pm

Nothing new here, saw a TRU Legends 5-pack or whatever it is which I thought was long gone, but I did run into this in the Toy Forum, does anyone know this guy, or think that "premium" is used to describe something different? Said he saw a bunch of premiums. I hope not, cause then I will have to start the hunt again: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=35161
