    As far as I know, there's only been a sighting in Washington. I'm checking tomorrow. Anyone visit a Target today?

    Been checking. The guy who pulled one from Target in Washington got it from an area that appears to not have any in stock on brickseek. Not sure whether Brickseek is tripping or not.

    Savers in Dublin has a bunch of mib Armada and Micron Legend toys in the front. Prices seem high but if anyone is looking...

    Could use some help, been trying to track down a SS-18 Bumblebee in the Sacramento/Elk Grove areas but having crap luck. Anyone been to either a Walmart or Target in those areas recently that had some in stock? Thanks in advance.

    That said, the Target in Midtown has a crap load of Cyberverse and Bumblebee Movie toys (Except SS-18) including a single power charged BB. They also have some older stuff such as a PotP Otimus, Rodimus, Hungarr and Elita-1.

    I haven't seen it in a while, but I'll keep an eye out for you. No Siege items in SB/Ventura area yet.

    Appreciated. Also forgot to mention that the Midtown Target still had a SS Jazz in case anyone was looking for one.

    There's the usual Targets and Walmarts, but if you want something more specialized, there's Frank and Son Collectibles Show out in City of Industry (south of Pasadena) which has several booths that sell them, and also Big Lou's Collectibles in Culver City which sometimes has secondhand TFs.

    Yeah Gepard hit the major spots in LA. You could also try Jungle Toys in Little Tokyo though their selection is usually pretty limited, though they do deal in second hand TFs (I saw the Botcon G2 redux box set there). If you want to travel out further, there is Toy-Zilla in Alhambra but I've never been there before so I am unsure as to their selection. If you feel REALLY insane, Cape and Cowls in Fountain Valley (it's like an hour and a half to two hour drive from LA) has got TF stuff (he got in Siege figures on Friday).

    Big Lou’s is scalper central. You won’t get a good deal there to save your life.

    I don’t wish to smash bumpers with the other member in search of Studio Series #18 VW Bumblebee, but if anybody in the SGV has pointers on where to find it, I would greatly appreciate it :)

    Just a heads up, I don't think Brickseek is accurate concerning Siege right now. The places that are confirmed to have things from the line do not show anything, both for the special individual code we expected them to have and for the generic code they seem to be using.

    I haven't seen TFs there in ages, anyway. For a while they seemed to go full slot car racing for some reason.

    If you're planning to be in the LA area around the second Sunday of the month, there is the big flea market/collectible show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. When I was collecting older toys heavily, I would hit it up every week, and you can find some interesting things, both old and new. There are other various flea markets around the city, some of which are good for older toys, or at least knockoffs. There are some stores in the Little Tokyo area of Downtown LA that carry Japanese TF as well.

    Wouldn't that just mean they sold out? Usually if a new product just arrived and at best one case of a few size classes arrived and rabid fans came by to shop then they would be gone and it would be marked as 'out of stock'.

    Found my first WfC: Seige Battlemasters at Target in Pleasant Hill.

    I'm in the east Bay Area for the day. The search for more will continue.

    Well, Target in Walnut Creek doesn't have anything new, sadly. Oh well.
