    It pays to go to Federal Way. Between the Target, Wal-Mart, and the TRU in the area, you'll just about find anything you want in the Cybertron line that has already been discussed earlier. I have seen the 3-piece minicon team that ViceGrip was talking about as well. TRU in particular has a boatload of everything (including Starscream, Optimus Prime, and Megatron) except for the minicons.

    On the Alternator Front, for the first time in a few months, I saw Shockblast sitting on the shelf at Fed. Way Target (along with a couple Ravages and Windchargers). TRU had a few Grimlocks.

    Southcenter TRU had an Alt Swerve this afternoon. It might still be there as I left it.

    As of this morning, Puyallup target had about three figures, nothing even worth concidering. The TRU had pretty much everything cybertron you could want, including 4 megs, 4 starscreams and there should be at least one prime left after I snagged mine.

    I must confess that I had to sneak this one into the house under the missuses radar... I like to remind her I could have a drug habit but I collect toys instead, but it dosnt always wash :) 

    Counting down the hours till I get caught with a new toy.

    Just FYI, Shifty there were plenty of Alt Wheeljacks at the TRU in Bellevue last time I checked a few days ago. They had pretty much everything. Shockblast, too.

    Forgot to mention this, but the Southcenter Target stocks Alternators once again and had a case worth of the Swerve assortment as of yesterday morning.

    Anyone know if the latest Cybertron wave (red alert, overdrive, clocker, etc.) is down at Southcenter still? Its been several days since the last sighting....just wondering if its worth it driving down there tomorrow.

    Clocker, Hardtop, and the Recon team were all at the Southcenter TRU and Target as of yesterday morning/afternoon. I've not seen Override or Red Alert anywhere yet.

    Thanks, I ran down and grabbed them today. Too bad about Red Alert and Override, though. I really wanted those....

    Save yourself the trip, Dusty. They aren't there anymore. Didn't even last a day.

    Yeah I noticed that you had typed that on the 4th....and I figured with only several left, that people would have snatched them up. I'll just wait till the Bellevue TRU gets them. They seem to actually be on the ball this summer a bit....

    Unlike Factoria Target....which hasn't carried Transformers in months.

    And now, for some not-so-good news...

    Yesterday morning, I went to the Auburn Wal-Mart and saw that they were rearranging their shelves. I noticed the diagrams that the employees follow and saw that the Transformers section would only have Cybertron. I did not see anything on the diagrams for Alternators. Furthermore, the Alternators that I've told you all about that have been on the shelf for months now (Ravage, Swindle, and Windcharger) have been marked for clearance at $15.00.

    So unless they plan to put new alternators somewhere else in the toy section, alternators at Auburn Wal-Mart are just about done :(

    Auburn Wal-Mart update...

    The alternators were gone (and the rest of the TF's were moved further down the aisle) when I went there this morning before work. I didn't even see them on the clearance shelf. I guess that might be it for them at that store :(
