I got mine at the Westland Target. There was a odd situation where someone that worked there asked me if they can help me and on a whim I gave them the number and they checked it out and brought them out for me. Any other time I ask it's the sam ol' "What's on the shelf" line.

Grabbed two, thanked him and that was the end of it. As far as I know they put it back in the stock room.

I got a set from there yesterday. I went and checked the DCPI, went to the furniture area, found an employee, and he brought one out to me. No problems.

Rodimus I hope there is only one Legacy book so far, that's all I've read (read it during the summer). IF there are others (besides the comic) I have not seen them yet, but I haven't been looking really hard.

Andrew don't worry, I'll still buy another set from you...good luck with all of your work.

Toy Show in Royal Oak (according to the news). $5 to get in, anybody going? I think they said it was in the Farmer's Market area...I haven't seen any TFs on the news yet, but they look to have a good amount of older stuff.

I should not have hesitated with the hotel thing for Botcon. I can't believe that they have sold out the block already. Not many rooms, or a whole lot of fans are not waiting around.

I did some hunting yesterday and came up empty handed. Middlebelt Meijer, A2/Pittsfield Meijer & Target. Nothing of note at all three. Middlebelt Meijer did have wave 2 6" Titanium, so that is some hope that they will carry future waves.

Read Escalation #3 yesterday. The story is not bad, even though they colored Skywarp like Thundercracker for the whole issue (come on!) Overall Esca. is much better than Infiltration.

My opinion on the Botcon hotels is they're playing a supply/demand game with the fans. They want it to seem like everybody got their hotel already, and you're missing out.

hmm that's a little bit too much of a trek for me espeically without any idea of what's going to be available.
anyone else headed there?

i went to the target by my work thursday for the magnus/skywarp 2 pack and i asked the guy over in toys he said they had it but he wasnt gonna bring it out. so i asked another employee and she was gonna get me one but the guy stopped her and said "i am in charge and i say he cant have one cause it is a collectable, and they dont go on shelf till next week." i wanted to kick him in the head. that guy is a dick.

and when i got my comics for the wek i got TF escalation #3, but i am missing #2. the guy at the comic store i go to is trying to get me a copy.

TT, the 3 legacy of the force books that are out so far are Betrayal, Bloodlines, and Tempest. The next book, Exile, will be out in Feb.

Guy sounds like a real dick. You should have asked for a manager and told them what happened. One person said they could get it for you and one throwing his weight around to show people that he's in charge. It wouldn't have looked good and their manager would have prob told em to get it from the back for you as long as you mention no other target has had prob doing it for people from what you read online.

Some assholes...sheesh.

Anyhoo, I was at the Middlebelt Meijers today and grabbed up a Hasbro Icons Wolverine for Andrew since he still needs him and picked up a Ghost Rider Undertaker for my son for his B-day tomarrow.

Nothing new to report. That Walmart on Middlebelt also had a end cap type display of a bunch of the first wave minicons...they had so many of them it's not funny and I don't think there is any chance of them getting any newer stock anytime soon.

Got the newest issue of Master Colector today. The new format in the insert looks alot better cosmeticly but it looks like the content got worse. Is it just me?

Oh, and the Rooms at the Hotel thing, I don't think is just a ploy. This year is ganna be huge with the movie premeir stuff. As long as I get my Pre-reg in in time I don't care where I stay as long as it's close. I just don't want to miss my chance on the Classics Exclusives.

I snagged a ML Iron Man variant from the Okemos WalMart today. They had 2 left plus 2 normal ones. I also found a Grimlock with no error on the back of the card so I snagged that as well.

Okemos Target has Ultra Magnus vs. Skywarp 2 Packs in the back or so the scanner that let me input the DPCI code told me they did. I didn't bother asking since my GF bought me 2 sets Friday night.

Nothing else yet, going back out hunting here in a bit though.

welcome back, TFMaster.

If that does not make one wonder about Starscream's sexuality, what would?

Well, I did not know that...thanks. I think I read the first one Betrayal, but I'd have to check (and I did...).

If you have the means, I suggest getting a KISS Autotrooper. A super-sweet TF, and customizable (to a degree). I have two already!!!

EDIT: And who stretched the bloody thread????
