Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:Checking back in on the thread. I got lucky in Gonzales. The wal mart there has a new assortment of stuff. They only had 1 bumblebee though. I looked for a few extra to help out on here, but didn't see anything. It's been years since I've been there, but there used to be a store called Toy Liquidators at the Tanger Outlet mall. Is that store still around? I wonder if they would have any Alternators or older-release stuff?

ALl that's left is a lovely KB Toys Outlet.

Yeah, we had a Toy Liquidators up here in Washington too, and now its just a KB Toys. Nothing but KO's and like 5 universe figures.

Well, didn't get a chance to go Wave 2 hunting today (saving that for when the TRU lady said their Deluxe shipment would arrive), but Ravage finally showed up on my doorstep today. I'm not ashamed to say I spent a good 5 minutes laughing at the fact that due to the first couple steps of the transformation scheme, you can turn a Jaguar into some kind of legged Flinstones car. ...I'm easily amused

The walmart closest to my house had 1 Dreadwing and restocked their leader figures. 3 Optimus Primes and 1 Megatron. I will say right now that if anyone picks up an extra Bumblebee, I'll drop everything I have right now to buy it from you. I want that thing so bad I actually had a dream about him last night. That is totally not like me and actually weirded me out. Toys R Us had 2 70's BB and got my hopes up.

I found an Arcee at a SuperTarget, but still no '08 Bumblebee. Looks like the Targets all up and down Randall have been somewhat refreshed with the old wave of figures, there's some more Leader Primes and Megatrons around, and a bunch more Deluxe figures than just Wreckage and Scorponok. So I ended up buying a Barricade, old Bumblebee, and Jazz, all 3 of which I had never planned on. The Bumblebee appears to be a newer fixed version. Have to reiterate that Arcee is amazingly similar in transformation to the Energon Scout version (also Target-exclusive Movie Scout repaint). Nice overall figure but the crossbow is fairly awkward. Jazz I like but for the lower arm and hands. Barricade suffers from a bit of Alternator-itis that I complained about with Ironhide with regards to the legs in alt form, but is pretty cool. I like Bumblebee's automorph gimmicks.

Let me reiterate. I hate all of you BR/Louisiana Goons who found Bumblebee today, because I went to THREE different Wal-Marts AND the Toys 'R Us, and only two of the Wal-Marts even looked like they might have had Bumblebee (trace amounts of Arcee and Dreadwind were found). At the Wal-Mart near Cortana, they didn't even have Arcee or Dreadwind. They had ONE Deluxe movie figure, and it was loving Bonecrusher. I didn't leave empty handed. I did find the G1 Bumblebee keychain, though.

^^^ Hey, don't look at me, this is the first day this week I slept late, and it ends up being the day that there are (well, were) BUMBLEBEES EVERYWHERE!  The Rage posted:Winner! All the Ravages seem to be arriving today. It's odd having an Alternator that doesn't feel like it will tip over if you so much as look at it wrong. 404GoonNotFound fucked around with this message at Jul 21, 2007 around 23:13 |

Just got back from seeing the movie. I would have gone to the 00:01 midnight showing last night, but there was some book or something coming out? Mmmmmmm... so so so awesome. Like Blueshift, I now feel incredibly justified in spending what I have so far on movie TFs. There'd just better be a drat Leader Prime left in BR for me to buy when I get back!

I've told myself that I'm unwilling to pay much more than retail for these things, because they will stock them in stores, and they will put them up on the Hasbro website. Dude why even bother with the import? The US version is the same, clear windows and all.

Trust me, every store that carries Transformer Movie toys has at least 10 Primes in stock, and looks like it'll be that way for a while. Now, Nightwatch Prime, I don't know about because he's not out yet. Probably will be the same story, though.

Well it seems to be one of the more reasonable prices right now. It also looks like the scalpers are getting stuck with their merch and the prices are starting to come down.

I'm sick of waiting for 07 Bumblebee (and my movie-line hype is going down), so I'm getting some things I missed from past lines. I won a TM2 dragon Megatron on ebay, now I just need to get a TM Barney Megatron (and those cool disk replicas) to replace my old one that lost his leg (why is that toy so fragile?)

Another weekend of nothing. I count today as the whole weekend because sadly, I seem to be under house arrest. Some book came out that I'm supposed to read or something. If any West Cascade goons head out tomorrow and see something, let me know, eh? Lynnwood and Woodinville were picked clean today. And the Fred Meyer in Monroe always sucks for toys.
