Happy 4th all!

Saving money (paying down debt) due to lack of new stuff, which is good, I suppose.

The Asia exclusive toys may be making some sort of US appearance (Legends, deluxes, voyagers). It's a theory running around since Robotkingdom was told to remove their pre-orders, I believe.

Perhaps something coming out at SDCC?

I was pretty surprised to see all the things in works...you can get it over at tfw(2000 something..2005? or 9? I don't know, it's bookmarked) I saw over at bbts they have articulated movie leader prime hands for just over 30 bucks. that's actually good for articulated hands but I just can't pull the trigger...I guess it doesn't mean that much with that figure. Plus I got the overseas chrome one and I think those are grey plastic...currently just looking for arachnid....come on honey...come to papa!

Does anyone want a Kre-O Sentinal Prime? I just grabbed him for the Thundercracker Kreon. The other 2 Kreons are there (open) and all of Sentinal Prime's pieces are still sealed in the bags. I'm just looking for a couple of original Gameboy games (Metroid II - The Return of Samus and Tetris). Trade me these and he's yours. I'll also sell him for $12.

Sorry, I have no real sightings news. We're in quite a drought right now. Somebody please buy all the BB's so these stores will restock. My wish list is growing. lol

Hope all is well with everyone. --Til all are one!
Well, that's just Prime...

I scored an Airachnid at Livonia North Walmart this afternoon. I left them with a Dead End, Stealth Bumblebee, and Knock Out. I then grabbed the Decepticon Ambush and Cycle Chase Kre-O sets at Wonderland Target. I'm glad to see they switched to regular tape on the boxes this time around. I'm definitely cool with paying $11.99 for four Kreons. Can't wait for those combiner sets now!

Acquired 1 each FOC1 at the Dearborn TRU today. 1 each Prime and Jazz remained as of approximately 11:30am, I got the only Shockwave. They are priced at $14.99.

DB Target(Ford Rd) had the latest wave of Prime, sans Airachnid, if anyone is interested(no Vehicons, either).

Happy Hunting.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

Reciprocated, TT. Good to hear from you.

FOC Prime and Shockwave are very nice. Good, solid plastic, decent transformations, and SW even has an ersatz "gun" mode, made possible by swinging the arms down to simulate an handle.

Of course, less mass and scant paint apps keep the trend of paying more for less continued. Ah, well, its to be expected.

Jazz is diappointing, very cheap feeling and doesn't stand well. He'll stay in alt mode, and I'm only retaining him to fill the slot of a valued canon character.

So, my opinion, 2/3 isn't bad.

Good weekend, all.

It's interesting you say that. They are all OK to me, as in not fantastic or wonderful, but good. Even Prime. If you listen to our podcast that should come out on Monday, CP gives some glowing review for Jazz, and Shockwave (minus his scrawny size), but would not even buy the PRime. I was actually pleasantly surprised by Optimus. His alt mode transformation is 'nothing new', but his robot mode is not bad in person.

FOC Jazz will be my IDW's RID Jazz for my new IDW collection shelf.

Lots to discuss from SDCC folks, we should!
