With all the flurry about Kmarts nationwide (looking for G1 Soundwave/cassettes and Netflix Soundwave), I thought I'd make a small dedication to the impressive travel efforts of some OTCA members.

To the tune of I've Been Everywhere, Man! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE-AYe1ORoQ), play it Soundwave!

I've been every Kmart
I've called every Kmart
The service counter hates me
My figure's always sold out
I really hate exclusives
I've been everywhere

I've been to:

Baldivis, Midland, Morley, Innaloo,
Ellenbrook, Kardinya, Warwick, Wanneroo
Joondalup, Armadale, Lakelands, Clarkson
Cockburn, Bunbury, Mirrabooka, Eaton
Belmont, Carousel, Rockingham, Booragoon
Maddington, Mandurah, Vic Park, I'm a loon!

...

:D Good work! :D

Just a friendly reminder that a thread for TF-related filks exists here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php/3095-Transformers-Filks). :)

Very :)clever. I’m sure it’s just as accurate for Hot Wheels collectors too.

Aside from driving nearly 100km to various Kmarts, I've also spent 3 hours calling Kmart North rocks, Top Ryde, Parramatta, Lidcombe, Castle Hill, Hornsby, Stanhope Gardens, Burwood, Ashfield, Blacktown, Bankstown, Wetherill Park, Hurstville and Warriewood -- Stanhope Gardens had 1 Studio Series 86 Hot Rod... otherwise sweet nothing.

Saw your Holy Grail post and sung to myself "🎶 Gok's been everywhere, man... Couldn't find a Jazz, man... 🎵" Can't get the song out of my head now, especially with the additional 86 figure hunting... ha haha ha ha haha haha ha.

Spent another hour calling Kmarts this morning. "♫ I've called everywhere man, I've called everywhere man! ♪"

I've even been using conference call mode on my phone to call 2 stores at a time. Check out how long I've been ringing some of those phones!
