A TRU had stuff first? Around here? dang. That's going to cause a rift in the space-time-continuiem.
(I think Wave 3 was out before the Northgate TRU had Wave 1 on the shelves)

There are still Fat-@$$ scalpers?

Some of those Clone Wars figures look pretty cool...

 

Bellevue TRU has all of the series four reissues, as well as the Universe figs (didn't see which ones though).

Picked up Red Alert. Man, is he tight! I was a little worried about transforming him due to stiffness.

 

off topic, but I've been meaning to tell you that you probably have my favorite name on the boards  :

I'm going to have a hard time not grabbing Red Alert (waiting for takara...) he's one of my favorite G1s

did they paint his eyes blue like Takara sideswipe?

 

I went ahead and got my Red Alert through Amazon.com and received it almost a week ago. I have the same concern about his stiffness. I also worry about the missle laucher that he has. I can just picture the shoulder clamp breaking if it's not handled right. BTW what did any of you Red Alert owners do with the extra Autobot logo sticker that the instructions don't point out? I went ahead and stuck it on the spoiler.

 

Ah...a fellow Simpsons-aphile 

With the Red Alert, they didn't do any of the cosmetic changes that Takara did, like the blue eyes (I would have liked to have seen the red painted red, but oh well) but they did make the spoiler detachable. I pulled out my almost 20 year old Red Alert from 1985, and the spoiler on the old timer is not removeable.

 

I wouldn't know. All I saw was the Droid army 3-pack and some odd Destroyer Droid launcher.

Anyway, I did get Red Alert since he's always been one of my favorite G1ers. Just got done aplying all the stickers a little bit ago and making room for him on my now-crowded G1-reissue shelf. Guess these MOTU figures are gonna end up at the garage sale tomorrow anyway... (north end of Tacoma, come stop by - especially if you're a Star Wars scalper, I'll have tons of POTF2 and Ep1 crap.  )

 

The TRU in lynnwood has all of the TF:U figures and all the newest G1 reissues. Oh and the walmart up there had a few PL Primes.

 

I found the emergency and air military minicons at the Renton Wal-mart (as well as Twobad for those interested).

They had FEW of the minicons left, but not many.

Time to get this thread back on page one.  

Found Armada Airazor, Wheeljack, and Hoist at the Tacoma Target this morning. Only one I didn't pick up is Airazor. I just can't bring myself to buy repaints anymore. Hoist rocks and Wheeljack is all right.

Also found and bought the lone HOC Cyclonus from Fred Meyers in University Place.

 

I scored Armada Rhinox (finally!!!) and the lone HOC Grimlock at the Lake City Way Fred Meyers. Passed on Terrorsaur (yucky!).

Love the mold and deco on Rhinox, but miss Transmetaling  

they were reorging the Renton wal-Mart toy department friday afternoon, so that didn't do me any good - no minicons...

will have to hit the local Targets today. thanks vgX!
EDIT:: as of 2pm on Monday, July 5th woodinville target's got J@ck$#!T.
there toy department looks like it hasn't been stocked in a month - maybe this week?

oh, I also bought a house. Wierd, eh?

 

Found Rhinox, Airrazor, Hoist and Wheeljack at the Redmond Target on the way into work this morning. I only picked up Wheeljack so the others might still be there...  

 

On Sat morning, I saw all the new Deluxe TF's at the Woody Target before I headed off to Warped Tour. When I went back tonight though, they were all gone....and so were all the new SW figures that I forgot to tell my roomate about  

oh...and congrats on the house.....where ya livin?

-Shifty

 

Found Wheel Jack and Hoist today and kennewick target, they also had airazor


But if you could aford only one, make sure its wheel jack, hes just too sweet 

 

Dammit! What the hell!? We are actually getting stuff up here, and I am broke until Friday....grrr...

-Dusty

 

And to those of you just finding Hoist, I posted an article explaining the blue lever elsewhere in the forums HERE .

 

Where is Woodinville anyways? That isn't the same as the Redmond Target is it?

-Dusty

 

nopw - I'm not certain where the redmond target is, but Woodinville is kinda North/northwest of Redmond - Check it

The target is in A strip mall right in downtown by the theatre and Borders and Red Robin...

shifty, to answer yer question :: a few blocks up the hill from the Lake City way fred meyers...

 

Unh! Woodinville Target comes through AGAIN! I gots me a Tidal Wave tonight! There was another one when I left. Also saw one Wheeljack, a few of each of the Armada beasts including Airazor. Powerlinx Prime and the Supercon Primes with the painted Autobot symbol are also there.

He-Man section for those interested had plenty of Sy-Clones, Prince Adams and Fire Armor Skeletors.

Ninja Turtles had Casey, April and Hun as well as the new Turtle variants.

SCORE. God Tidal Wave rules more then I ever thought!

 

Just gotta' throw this little smilie down... :ROCK

 

Darnit. I visited a day or so after that and all the Wheeljack's and Hoist's were gone!  

They did have Terrorsaur and Rhinox, but I'm not interested in the animals.

The Kennewick Walmart had a lot of universe, but none of the air military or emergency minicons. The Richland one HAD NO MINICONS AT ALL!!! That really shocked me. But they did have three Powerlinx OP's, one of which I grabbed. He looks niiiiice on Jetfire!
