Dropped by Kennewick TRU today. No new stuff but there must have been a half dozen or more Arcees. If anyone is still looking I can pick one up for someone here for cost + shipping.

 

I'm in Portland, so anything in the PDX area. But I'm also willing to travel for an exclusive.

 

I don't know this guy, but I'm sure he's a scalper.  

 

Thanks Ben, I think..... 

has anyone been to northgate TRU yet? I'm trying to decide if I should go tomorrow or wait untitl the weekend.....

Randy!

 

For anyone looking in the lynnwood area they get there trucks on thursday and put them out thursday night so check friday, also they get a truck friday evening and put them out saturday morning but I think that is just a restock truck. Although this week with mp grimlock supposed to be in stores on thursday the first I would check thursday friday and saturday just to be safe.

 

i must be a scalper since i charge to the nearest whole dollar lol....anyways i can vouch for anyone thats been to my house, know my face, and phone number and my license plate. however if you have elk wang you trump all of that.

nothing new on my side, however wherehouse for the west coast does not show mp grimlock in the distro wherehouse =( for this week.

as for trus

lynnwood - friday/sat
southcenter - thursday/friday/sat
bellevue - wed/friday
northgate - thursday/friday
tacoma - wed

barrelks: black leader prime is awesome i recommend getting him because he's black, and i bought 4 at the regular price, but with the price drop its even better, and connects to takara jetfire nicer.

btw: to the rest ill return phone calls later i been busy, with flu and car issues.

 

graymer, Bigbot3030, it wasn't meant personally. Its just that over the last few years we've all had to learn about spotting scalpers who tend to lurk here, and when they can't get the info they want that way join then try to weasel the information out of other members. It was especially bad during the time MP Starscream was on the shelves.

I hope that 2 for 1 sale hasn't meant all the Cyb. Ratchets have been cleared out by the time I get to TRU tomorrow!

Hey Jimmy - I'll have your money tomorrow, let me know where/how to send it!

No other hunting for me today. But those WFC figures are a bit better than I expected, fidely little bastards for Deluxes. Kind of mad at myself for ordering Starscream and having to wait after seeing him in stores, he looks amazing (btw, if anyone wants the other one for $37, I still have it, or will have it soon).

Yea, I just keep finding other stuff that I "need" right now instead of that Prime. Finally gonna start a sales thread, cause there is too much good stuff and not enough money.

Sorry to hear you're still having car issues. I think I finally got most of mine figured out for now, other than the AC which is gonna hurt this fatguy if we actually start getting some nice weather. I hit you up with to see if you needed anything from TRU.

 

I could have picked up everything that I ordered from Tacoma TRU. Kudos to Vicegrip and the scalpers who left some on the pegs. I picked up the Combaticon Power Core combiner and a Drift just to satisfy the need. I don't mind waiting for the order I placed. I love getting that kind of mail.

 

Yeah, I'll be at SC TRU (SouthCenter, Scalper Central, you choose) tomorrow morning. Friday as well if tomorrow doesn't turn up anything. And I'll stop by Bellevue on my way home from work Saturday, hoping there would be something left.

If anyone cares to join, the company is appreciated. Unless there's only one Drift left, then prepare for battle.

 

I bought Starscream. He is so sweet. I also got Thrust, Bumblebee, and Ironhide.

 

Bigbot, you're fine. I've met you in person and you been around for a while.  

I scored Arcee for my girlfriend via Furious, thanks bro!

Then headed to TRU and grabbed wave 1 generations for Black Omega, grabbed WFC Optimus and Drift for myself and grabbed the jet power core combiner for my son as his "lost his first tooth gift"

Drift is so freaking sick!!!! Not sure he's ever going to be in car mode again, LMAO! Drift needs a gray wash to bring out his detail  

Optimus transformation is crazy, but he needs a black wash to bring out all that detail goodness!

*edit/add* Moonscream is correct, it was not a form of disrespect... but when it comes to collecting and buying for our kids (some of us have those on this board)... there are wolves in sheeps clothing lurking like a predator acting the part of a collector only to abuse our friendship and information to sell things we can afford to pay retail for at a 50%-100% inflation price on ebay.

Just looking out for the community/friends and making sure the honest ones arent being deceived by the "scalpers in disguise"  

I can personally vouch for a lot of the washington state sightings board.

Either I have met them in person at CybCon, at another board member's house during a get together, throught a friend/board member, a trade/purchase or sale or elsewhere.

I'm by no means the canon on who is a collector or scalper.

 

Kusanagi I Pm'd you.

Anyone who's been at the Tacoma TRU, is there still generations BB and Prime, hftd bumblebee and Ironhide and 5 pack pcc?

 

I was at the Northgate TRU this past morning at about 10:30am (Wednesday) and saw nothing new. Well, nothing but Tuner Mudflaps  

Same goes for the Northgate Target at that same time, too.

 

There were about four or five Cybertron Ratchets at the Southcenter TRU as of today (Wednesday). Those don't move at all at that TRU it seems, so my feeling is that they'll still be there through the end of this week at the very least. A pity, as it's a great figure in my book.

Oh, and I managed to snag the only TFA Arcee (sparkly first release) at that TRU today. Finally! It took me all this time to finally land one, and my daughter loves her as much as I do. I was becoming afraid that I'd have to buy her off of Amazon or something   If I see her there again I'll be sure to mention it here.

 

Man, I just hope most of the new stuff is at the Southcenter TRU Friday morning. I'm not able to head out of the house until then, and I want to take advantage of the B1G150% deal which, from what I can tell, works for every other TF item on a single receipt. I tried putting a bunch of them in my shopping cart on TRU's official site and it only gives one frakking item discount per entire order. WTH  

 

haaha..elk wang!!! and geoduck!!!!!

so this is when I do not like living in Sequim....until the new waves hit and I get plenty of stuff all to myself 

 

Nothing at the Puyallup Walmart tonight, damn near out of Fallen Deluxes, but they really don't seem to be moving any of their Voyagers.

Any thoughts on how much I should be looking to pay for a Botcon Thrust now that Generations Thrust is out?

 

As of 8:00pm Wed when I was there:

6 WFC Optimus
5 WFC Bumbleebee
2 Gen. Thrust
5 Gen. Drift
6 HFTD Bumblee with the axe
6 HFTD Ironhides
2 HFTD Long Haul
1 HFTD Seaspray
4 power core combiner Skyburst
3 power core combiners Bombshock

Those numbers are off the top of my head. There were 2 other guys grabbing stuff off the pegs as I was leaving.

Didn't see any 5 packs?!

 

Ironically this does not include me due to where I live!   But I do know Hollywood's brother personally, does that count?

I hunt the Spokane area, actually, where we get things far later than the west side and when there's a sale the shelves often empty due to collectors and scalpers from Idaho diving in like locusts. When there isn't a sale, tho, stuff can sit for a while. Its just that this sale coincided with me actually having a few bucks, which might be lucky, might be not.
