    Cool! Not sure where Lair Hill is...I actually live down the hill in the Burlingame/Capitol Hill area. :)

    Ahh, Lair Hill is the area that's now getting called North Macadem on westside of the Ross Island Bridge near downtown.

    So I guess we're kind of over the hill from each other.

    I'm sure no ones expects you to get them for everyone...but if you happen to have spares, I'll take them off your hands gladly. :) 

    I-5 was such a mess Friday afternoon when I left that I took 99 to Salem...and got so lost it wasn't funny. I never made it to McMinville, so I have no idea what's there. I thought "no biggie" since I knew I'd be hitting the other Wal*Mart's on my trip, but as you can see from my previous post, that was incorrect. :( 

    Rammy is sad now...

    Yea...I'm right behind the hill behind the Burlingame Fred Meyer, but facing South. Are you by the Swan Mart, or more towards downtown? Either way, it's cool to talk to a local whose that close. :)

    i've been in Oregon for little over a year now, you don even know how much times i got lost (i'm still not used there being the street name on the traffic light post, street changing name every 2-3 miles, & little amount of street lights)...but getting lost, i was able to find some neat places (Clakamas Mall, Mall 205, Lloyd Center, bunch of Targets & Fred Meyers)...

    and i'm still waiting for Fred Meyers to stock on some HOC Figues...i still need Galvatron, Grimlock, and whoever...

    I moved here eight years ago, and I *still* get lost from time to time. But you are right Omega, there's nothing like getting lost to help you find those stores and places you never knew about. A couple of years ago I got lost in the Beaverton-ish area and came across a Rite-Aid. Wen't inside, and they had TM II Dinobot and Cheetor just a hangin' on the rack. So sometimes, it's cool to get a little lost. :)

    I hit the Hwy 10 and Washington Square Target's tonight after work. Hwy 10 had the Dreadwind/Smokejumper's on clearance for $17.88, but nothing else new. The WS has the Galvatron and Jetfire bonus packs, but nothing else new. If you still need the clear Spychangers, the WS Target had them on clearance...for 62 cents each! I picked up two extra sets just on general principal, but have no fear...they had a shopping basket full of them in the toy aisle. ;) 

    Gonna hit the Jantzen Beach Target and maybe even the Wal*Mart in the couv'...will post my findings as always. Me need the Armada Beasts! :D

    Well yours truly hit a lot of stores today, and got a lot of nuthin'. Lloyd KB has lots of Scourge and Bludgeon, but that's about all. Lloyd TRU had squat, as did the Jantzen Beach Target and TRU. 82nd Wal*mart had ZIP, but I did get my first GO-BOT there (Buzz Bot) just so the trip wasn't completely worthless. :) 

    That's my report. If anyone sees anything exciting, let us know...

    Nice to see that you are still with us, been kinda wondering about you! :eyebrow

    That's a sweet ride there, G. Is that the 20th anniversary model you were drooling over a while back? Great vehicular mode...but when are you gonna post pics of it's robot mode?

    Remember, keep it under 55...:D

    Yep, it's the 20th anniversary edition GTI #0595. I love it!
    BTW, has anyone found the TRU Skywarp reissue yet in the area?
    I'm super-stoked about the Soundwave reissue. I may have to get 2 of those bad boys. If anyone else wants to place a pre-order let me know.

    I'd like to order two as well...are you thinking a group order? That would be cool...

    BTW, I saw the commercial for your ride...pretty funny stuff. Remember, always use 92 octane, bub! ;)
