Ahh, the thrill of the hunt. I have yet to find Bludgeon, but when I do... victory dance!

Try Target, they have all the rare Voyagers then not much else.

 

I had a gread haul today :thumb

glad to know im not the only one that jumps up and down like a 4 year old jacked up on mtn dew when i find that elusive toy that i want...i finally found ROTF soundwave last week...yeah..i know...its been out since before the movie...didnt want to order him...found one at walmart...stuffed in back behind some junk...i tore everything off the peg in front of him to get him...and then left it all in the floor...

I think I got that way when I found 20th Prime in the stores... Man, I almost broke out dancing. Now I really will if I ever find Arcee in stores...

I usually throw the goat followed by a sharp loud "YEAH!!". Sometimes I do a little dance. When it's a big find I do both. I may include a video later.

I live in the Glenside area of PA so I hunt for transformers alot. I travel by bus so Target, Toys R Us, and Walmart are all within traveling distance. And I know the routes very well to be able to get there. So I went to the Walmart in Warminster today and found Bludgeon, but I never jump up and down when I get a new figure, I usually just have a big smile on my face whenever I find what I want. I speak for everyone else when I say it sure feels good to find what you want after weeks or months of digging through shelfwarmers to find that one figure you've had your eye on.

I do the loud *GASP* and my eyes bug out a little. Especially after looking a long time for something I really want. Today I found Lockdown, Ratchet & Brawn. A Star Wars collector guy looked at me with a smile when he saw/heard my excitement. hehehe

I've had that experience before..though mine was a bit more of a nail biter the one time :redface

 

This was back when the newest ROTF wave out in stores consisted of Jolt, Blazemaster and the Ice cream twins. Now I had been looking EVERYWHERE for that stupid Ice Cream truck, for about a week I searched Targets, Walmarts and I even had the displeasure of setting foot inside a K-mart out of desperation (If you would've seen the K-mart I was talking about you'd say the same thing).

 

So I finally find the figure at a Target I had checked a million times before. I was walking towards the toy section and I saw the figure on the peg about 20 feet away (what other deluxe figure was pink?) So I walk over there and just as I'm about to reach the isle some guy grabbed it off the peg right before I was about to grab it. :tfsad

 

Then came the awkward moment...I was just standing there pretending to look around, just waiting for him to set the toy down,...luckily he did just that, so I snatched it and just sorta stared at it for about a good 2 minutes, I mean after weeks of hunting I finally had the blasted thing so I had to savour the moment.

 

Then a week later I did the exact same thing but only with HA Sideswipe :rofl

Me, when I see a toy I've been searching for a while, I usually grab and hold it tight like "This is F'n mine!!" and power walk to the cash register without bothering to look at what else is in the aisle. All that is on my mind is: Mission Accomplished

 

All other things like the last character available, I just never let go of. Even if there was no one else in the aisle or in the store, you won't see me putting it down. Carts? When I'm shopping for toys, I don't need carts.

Yeah if Black Friday has ever taught me something it's that shopping carts offer your items very little protection. I think I actually saw someone lose a finger or two over a Zhu Zhu Pet last year :wat

 

Carts and toy hunting don't go along very well, HOWEVER, Stun guns and toy shopping were always meant to be. :yay
