How's everyone doing with all this chaos going on?

 

Hanging in there. This was supposed to be a good week...I was supposed to be on a business trip to Philly, getting a Cheese Steak, and going to the O's Opening Day tomorrow. I work for Exelon (BGE and Constellation’s parent company) and my girlfriend works for GBMC as an X-Ray tech. Both of us are still working, I've been deemed essential---working on a project that's already been paid until 2024 and pulled into emergency IT work. She's been told that if needed, she'll be relocated. So our income should remain the same--though I'm missing my mileage and being able to expense meals. I can't really complain about that. In the event she gets laid off or furloughed, I will be able to support both of us. I'm trying to limit purchases, put aside money and we are well off on supplies (not hoarding, I promise). Part of my plan was to have enough on-hand to take care of my grandmother, if needed, and in the event my girlfriend's parents if they start running low.

I have friends who are struggling right now, who are so uncertain, it's tough to watch and I hope it's not impacting any of you guys that bad. My company is still hiring and depending on your skillset/qualifications, I would recommend looking up Exelon postings. There's always a need to keep the power running after all. Please PM me if you are looking and I'l help check the listings/postings for you.

I'm hopeful and optimistic that life will return to normal soon. I'd like to do another Meet-Up when it's all over. How are you doing?

 

I've been out for a few days while my company sorted out what to do with Hogan closing non essential busninesses but I'm back as of tomorrow.

Lucky for me I've already scored all of the earthrise wave 1, so while I'm itching to hunt down toys there isn't anything new on the pegs to draw me out.

 

As an engineer in the private sector, lucky to be able to telecommute. And happy that Amazon brought me a Wheeljack on Monday

 

For those who are brave enough to finally leave their houses, Has anyone seen The Arcade Renegade packs anywhere?

 

Whenever thing is back to normal, skip the cheese steak and go get a roast pork with broccoli rabe from dinic's in reading terminal market.

I also recommend hitting up brauhaus schmitz in center city for a good meal and a few beers. Went there on a whim one night after a show and it was some legit good ass food. It was a nice way to round out a night before the drive back home.

 

Right now the Arbutus Walmart is one Hoist short of a full case of ER deluxes.

 

Hagerstown WM has 2 ER Astrotrains and 1 ER Optimus Prime.

Hagerstown WM#2 (Sharpsburg Pike) has 2 ER Grapple’s and 1 ER Starscream.

 

Just hit EC Target again since I went yesterday early afternoon and didn’t see that roadbuster. Still not there.

 

Walmart off of Ordinance road in Glen burnie has a case of ER deluxe and a case of the Hammerbyte cyberverse wave.

 

Sucks that it went out when it did since I was there about 3pm yesterday too and he wasn’t there. Hate when this timing happens

 

Hagerstown WM as of 8am had:

-2 SS Soundwave
-2 SS Roadbuster
-1 SS Jeep Bumblebee
-1 SS Jet Shatter

They also had a bunch of empty deluxe pegs with NO Earthrise :|

 

Has anyone found any series 4/5 botbots at all?

 

Anyone still running out and hunting is braver than me. Not even my plastic crack addiction is enough to make me hunt during all this crazy pandemic mess. On the bright side, to all the hunters still hitting up all the stores, it may be easier to find new stuff assuming they are still stocking it regularly. Not judging anyone, just saying. Everyone be safe out there.

 

Not out hunting, but sometimes need a thing or two on my way to work.

 

I haven't gone out for the purpose of hunting (I've got all the wave 1 earthrise anyway) but I have had to go to Target for a few things, still found myself wandering by the toy section to see what's there.

Plus I got laid off last week so I don't exactly have the money to buy toys on a whim at the moment.

 

Was at White Marsh Target to pick up some stuff today, they have a bunch of Grapples, some of those little micromaster two pack dudes, and a bunch of Soundbarriers and Smashdowns. Though Smashdown is just like the one from Siege, so don't worry about that if you already have one. Unless you want more.

 

1 SS Shockwave at Hagerstown WM

 

Has ANYONE found any S4 or S5 botbots on the shelves lately ?

 

Target in EC had a few of the series 4 multipacks about 3 days ago when I was last there. Didn’t check which ones though.
