Tacoma TRU is da place, peeps! Word. 
They have the Red Alert, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Prowl reissues as well as three pegs full of the deluxe TFU figures.
They HAD some of the new Clone Wars figures, but some fat@$$ scalper grabbed all but three of them. | A TRU had stuff first? Around here? dang. That's going to cause a rift in the space-time-continuiem.
(I think Wave 3 was out before the Northgate TRU had Wave 1 on the shelves)
There are still Fat-@$$ scalpers?
Some of those Clone Wars figures look pretty cool... "all the slammin' shorties in the house say "yeah!""

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

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? "all the slammin' shorties in the house say "yeah!""

#224 | | Autobot Guardian Join Date: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,676 Location: Federal Way, WA News Credits: 1 | 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.

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. | |

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. ) | |

#228 | | Predacon Join Date: Jul 2002 Posts: 481 Location: Seattle, WA News Credits: 1 | 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.

#229 | | Brown Chicken Brown Cow Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 2,076 News Credits: 3 | 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. | |

#230 | | Animated FTL!!! Join Date: Jul 2002 Posts: 11,231 Location: Seattle, WA Collection Count: a Lot. Probably Too many :p News Credits: 3 | 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? "all the slammin' shorties in the house say "yeah!""
