Washington State Transformers Sightings

The selection there was decent. They had all the current releases as far as Supercons and Gigacons go, Superpants Prime, most of the Mini-Cons, but I didn't really look in depth there.

As for Wal*Marts smelling funny, they usually don't the first couple years that they're open. After that, all the caramel corn that's made there permiates the air, making the smell you likely dislike.

Wonder if it's the same thing that makes Kmarts smell funny

So i did a Lynnwood trip on my lunch hour :

Wal mart pretty much had Smokescrean, Scavenger and Sueprbase Prime

Target didn't have much

TrU had a lot, but nothing new ( i really wasn't expecting them too)
They did have the new Conquest X-30, if any ya'll are Joe collectors

they also had the Reissue Starscream and Powermaster Prime, if for some weird reason you don't have/want the cheaper Takara versions

Well I just hit the southern east side today which consisted of:

Downtown Bellevue TRU
Factoria Target
Southcenter Target
Southcenter TRU
and
Renton Walmart

Renton was TOAST nothing there, but I guess I just missed the goodies according to Vicegrip. Factoria was also bare, but had the Night Attack team and Sea teams still, and SS Target had Galvatrons, but I didn't grab them. Bellevue TRU hasn't had jack in since before xmas when they had Blurr and Supercon Prime.

All of the TRU I went too have the new spytroops figs for any joe fans here....I HIGHLY recommend them.

I went to four Wal-Mart stores in search for the Dinobots today (I didn't know if they were out yet or not). The shelves were picked clean of just about everything except Scavanger. I did see a couple Jetfires at the Spanaway location and one Galvatron at the South Hill location.

Does anyone know when the Dinobots will arrive?

ViceGripX · 03-16-2003, 12:55 AM

Well, there were some Dinobots sightings already in the mid-west IIRC. They may be out in our area by the middle to end of this coming week. It's just a guess.

nothing big - Scored the one and Only Thundercracker they had at the Aurora Kmart Saturday, was going to wait for the Micron Version, but was really jonesin' to make a purchase (got paid cash for an old bass amp I sold and it was burning a hole in my pocket)

Much better paint job than US Starscram, but damn the droopy cockpit sucks!

Scavenger and Demolisher seem to be joining Laserbeak as shelfwarmers in the north

Andre: Welcome to the club!!!

Found Galvatron, Thundercracker and the Sea Mini-Con Team at the Tacoma and Puyallup Target stores as well as the Puyallup TRU. That TRU also had Blurr and Supercon Prime in case anyone still needs those two fine toys.

Demolishor, Smokescreen, Scavenger, Red Alert, Laserbeak, Destruction Team, and Race Team are glogging the pegs and shelves. The Puyallup Wal*Mart is saturated with Land Military Teams. Clearance the suckers already!

Thanks! Don't worry, I'll be sure to inform you folks if I happen to notice anything new in my travels. I tend to go to stores in the Tacoma/Puyallup/Federal Way area if I'm looking for something.

Thundercracker's started to show up around here huh.....looks like the hunt begins!

Now if only Tital Wave would start shipping so my Sea Team wouldn't be so lonely lol

Three Armada TCs are at the Tacoma TRU. They also have the Starscream and Apex Prime reissues in abundance.

Tacoma Target has the Sea, Night Attack, and Dark Saber Mini-Con teams.
