Oregon Transformers Sightings

I stopped by Tigard TRU today and they really stocked up on stuff:

Insecticons - Around 12 of them
Perceptor - Around 12 of them
Supreme Devastator - $79.99 (Still not as cheap as I got it, but lower than usual

)
Deluxe Ice Cream Twins
Deluxe Jolt
Voyager The Fallen
Wave 3+4 ROTF Scouts - Reverb, Nightbeat, etc..

That's the noteworthy stuff that I either hadn't seen in awhile or thought others might be interested in knowing about.

I just got Classics Inferno from TRU online. Apparently he's showing up at brick and morters around the country, too. FYI for people who missed him.

I saw the Warriors From Three Worlds set at the walgreen's near lloyd center.

Woodburn and Lancaster Walmarts are ZERO for Skywarp. No one even wanted to bother looking in the back. I showed them a picture, they scratch their heads "Golly gee whilickers!" annnd off they go to thin out the gene pool again. I hate walmart -_- why couldn't it be a TRU or Target exclusive?

Checked the Eugene WalMart at W 11th and at Green Acres, no Skywarp. Has anyone in the Eugene/Springfield area spotted him yet?

I made it out to the southern Walmart on 82nd over on the east side of Portland. No Skywarp at all. PLENTY of crazy poor driving lunatics in the rain, but no Skywarp. Bummer.

Just stopped by St Helens Walmart and they didnt have Skywarp either :-( But i did get ROTF on Blueray for less than $20 :-D

told ya

it was cheap at walmart!

Isn't it also suppose to be t he iMax version as well? with those "additional" scenes which you'll never really take notice?

But yeah, I'm getting a bit pissed off that there's no skywarp around. I see him on ebay, and it appears there is some paint application problems on the wings and intakes...that doesn't surprise me to much as Hasbro has been lacking in paint jobs for a while.

According to the few people I did talk too in that gene thinned out crap hole franchise store, they expected to get them anyday but mostly likely stocked by the night crew...still that was now 2 days ago and still no reports. How much is Skywarp suppose to retail anyways? wasn't Starscream like 50 dollars? It feels like I've had mine forever so I can't even remember.

I believe that the Starscream was $50 but I could not tell you for sure because I never saw it in retail when I was living in Southern Oregon. I might see if some of my TF friends in Texas can pick me up one when they see it in their area.

The Wal-Mart version has the IMAX scenes. I have seen the IMAX version twice back in June and there are no extra scenes...they are just slightly extended. I will not tell you which ones. The two disc set has some deleted/extended scenes in the extras though.

That's what I thought. I don't remember since he was a gift from my folks.

I hit every walmart in the salem region and woodburn again. The lancaster one was at least helpful this time but they said they didn't have anything. Commerical street was a bit helpful but the guy didn't even bother looking since he said they wouldn't carry stuff like that cause they're a very small store.
Woodburn just gave me that look again and I just shrugged and went "Not gonna try here again."
Still though, I came up with nothing in at least 4 stores. I dunno what the hell is going on.

But in the end I stopped at Lancaster TRU and I got Dropshot and a Sonic figure. They're having a sale on movie figures, 8 bucks a pop for deluxes. But I just don't like the movie line so I didn't even bother.
