    Sometimes I love the hunt but this has been beyond frustrating.

    Honestly, it's an older acronym that hasn't been used since 2015 (and never on the California Sightings thread; only on Alabama's and New York's) so I think it might be time to retire it. "Nothing" works just as well and requires no explanation.

    Probably one of those social media acronym. There was never a reason to type "sweet fuck all" really quickly in Counter-Strike before you got shot in the face...just "lol" and "wtf".

    Either way, Earth Rise deluxe and little guys found and purchased at Pleasant Hill Target.

    I've been active in this thread since 2011 and I never heard of this acronym until you started using it.

    Westfield Target in Culver City has the ER micromasters and Astrotrain. I grabbed the only Prime on the shelf (along with Crosshairs). I can now wait for my preorders to come in (although I have no idea what’s taking BBTS so long to get Spy Patrol 2 in...)

    Hobby Link Japan got that set in last week so hopefully BBTS isn't too far behind.

    It's all good. If it's not a term people are comfortable with, I'll put it on the shelf.

    I'm new to California (originally from Ontario, Canada. I'm still a mod on Cybertron.ca and staff with TFcon. Years ago I was a mod on Seibertron too, but I hung that up over a long time ago) so I'd much rather play nice here and get to know some of the other fans in the thread rather than stand firm on a silly acronym.

    Anywho, I'm happy to be here and happy to help contribute.

    I'm not there myself, but a friend sent me a message that a new batch of Deluxe and Leaders hit the McHenry Target. I feel like there is at least another member in the group that is close by.

    Thanks! Picked up the last remaining set just now.

    Welcome! I’ve never met you but your experience helping out on those other boards shows through your courtesy and flexibility. Hope you’re liking CA so far.

    It's all good man, just speaking for myself, my comment was just to say I've not heard the acronym and I've been around a while. :) 

    We are a friendly bunch here, welcome!

    Is that a typo for Series 4 or is Series 5 in the Bay Area already? Just curious. (If it is Series 4, I’m rushing over there within the next few days.) If it’s Series 5, you could get a news credit if you have pictures of them.

    He did indeed find series 5 (BotBots Appreciation Thread). I did as well in lower LA county, which was completely unexpected. Series 4 5 and 8 packs have shown up here too.

    Still nothing in Pittsburg *bigger than the battlemasters) , or Antioch Targets. I'm getting tired of checking. Their system keeps saying the have them, but none are there on the floor or in back.:(

    it's series five, which is shocking as I haven't finished wave four yet...as Capirus said, there are photos in the Botbots Appreciation Thread of the Cardio Clique blinded bots, which were previously unknown
