Well guys I finally got the dough and ordered MP-10 Convoy. It came yesterday. I have to say it's pretty sweet albeit the loose right shoulder joint. Common problem, I guess, but it doesn't seem to be affecting the poseability so I'm not really concerned about it. It's not severe. Anyways, after I opened him up and got him prepped for shelf, I got to thinking that I really wish I had the long smokestacks for my 20th Anniversary Prime (MP-01). Here's my proposition for you guys. I will give up my Classics Ultra Magnus for a set of these smokestacks. I'm looking for the metal set that came in the black box. If anyone is interested, please send me a message. Thanks. "'til all are one"

I went ahead and bought the Sentinel Prime Kre-O at TRU today. I just couldn't pass up the $19.98 clearance price. I'm actually thinking about putting this one together. I think all I need now are Ratchet, Sideswipe, and Optimus. I'm totally excited for that Wheeljack Kreon! Not so excited that they seem to be trying to make the sets bigger. And I'm kinda disappointed with the Kreon selection in that Devastator set. I mean, two bots and four people? That's just crap.

Grabbed a RID Soundwave at Target in Madison Heights on John R this evening. Asked a lady working in toys if they had any dpci#087-06-0546 in stock. She found it on her little computer gun and said that there were 2 locations showing for it. She walkied a guy in the back and he brought out the Soundwave for me. What a rush after all the TF related disappointment we've been getting over the last few weeks! They didn't have any of the Voyagers yet, but I'll take what I can get.

Now remember, she said that there were 2 locations showing in the back and there were NONE out on the floor, so maybe, just maybe, there is another unopened case back there...

Was able to score a Soundwave and a Wheeljack at the Ann Arbor/Saline Target. Both are really nice figures. Soundwave is a cool figure. I love Wheeljack's alt mode and his robot mode is pretty good too. Not sure what other figures they have. asked a guy to go in the back and get a wheeljack and sound wave.

just got my Japanese First edition Wheeljack and Bulkhead from bbts.com today. Just outstanding figures. Especially Bulkhead. Even the dark green looks great in person.

I'd give up the FE Cliffjumper way before this Bulkhead. And if I knew how to post pics on here iI would.

BAH! I ment Cliffjumper. My friend has been bugging me to get him a Wheeljack so he's been on my mind.

Ann Arbor/Saline Road Target had a bunch of RiD stuff out. Probably two cases of deluxes. I grabbed a Cliff Jumper. They also had 3 Voyager Primes and 1 Megatron. they had some bot shots.. $1 less than TRU and 3 of the Movie Trilogy Optimus Primes. Happy Hunting everyone!

I wish they would get the Trilogy Primes in around here. I asked someone to check the DPCI and they said there were 3 in Madison Heights so I called. They have no idea where they are in the back and they haven't been "set" for display yet so even if they found them, they wouldn't bring them out. They say they are not available until 2/26. Ugh. I would almost say I'd be willing to meet you halfway, Rodimus, if you could secure one for me. Send me a message if that sounds like it would work out.

Alas, I'm planning on attending the Roseville show next weekend -- would someone attending tomorrow let me know any upcoming dates? I can ask for them off work... if I know when they are...

by **moneycon** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 9:41 pm

just click on the link.

Edit: HA...just did it myself...no dates...sup wit dat!?!?! :???:

The listing only goes as far as tomorrow's show. Usually they'll have flyers there with the next date/set of dates. (And previously, they'd have up to a year scheduled and listed online... hmmm.)

by **moneycon** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 9:58 pm

Sorry, I just expected it to have them all....as usual. Weird.

by **DeepWater** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:01 pm

Yeah, last year I just printed out the whole list, gave it to my manager and those were my weekends off every month.

Ah well... I'll see anyone going to the Roseville show on the 25th, and if there's nothing between then and Motor City, at Motor City!

Movie Trilogy Prime is at 14/ Gratiot Target. Don't know how many as I called ahead and had 1 sent to Guest Services. The gentleman on the phone mentioned having a few though. As far as the figure goes, nothing to write home about. Just an overpriced deluxe Prime with a Chronicles trailer. I honestly thought the trailer would be a bit larger considering it pairs op with G1 Prime in the Chronicles set. Lengthwise is a good match to the original. Much shorter in height than G1. No gimmick other than the trailer being able to open up like a portable stage. lol. The only other gripes I have are a: no weapon and b: the Autobot logo is only printed on one side of the trailer. Oh and I guess the Walmart deluxe has much better paint apps. Aside from that, still a nice addition to my collection.

I opted for the KO voyager trailer when I found it was roughly the same price.

How is the KO voyager trailer in terms of quality? And how close is it to the actual DOTM trailer in appearance?

The Xtravacon went really well for me today. A bunch of new faces + several missing dealers + some new inventory = a crap load of money for me!

For those wondering, the next Xtravacon is March 25. I also heard something interesting regarding the lack of future dates on the MotorCity website. Apparently, the KofC building is in the process of being sold to some sort of catering company and they don't know how long before all that is final and they have to find a new hall. Evidently, the front runners for the new Xtravacon hall are the Elk's Lodge at Plymouth & Merriman and some hall further east on seven mile.

I'll let you know when it gets here, it is shipping from China so it will probably be a few weeks. It looks pretty accurate to me. This seller has some good photos of it here

Has anyone seen any TF:P Cyberverse Commanders yet? I could use a little more Optimus and Megs in my collection. See for yourself: http://youtu.be/0UzfoR0D1X0 Also, when does that Weaponizer Optimus Prime come out? Does anybody know?

Hey Everyone,

Wanted to post an alert. The credit card fraud related to fun pub is still happening as my card was used this morning for a $1 transaction with google, and withing an hour, a $350+ transaction at walmart.com.

Luckily Chase was all over this as the fraud department was calling right away. They denied the walmart transaction before getting a hold of me, and having talked to them, they are sending me a new card that I will get in the mail tomorrow. I know of someone else here on the boards that was hit yesterday, so keep an eye on your statements!!!!

I know for a fact it is related to Fun Pub because ordering the exclusive toys is the only thing I have used that card for period this year so far!!!

Good luck everyone and be vigilant.

Chad
