OMFG there's people in here!

Good to hear from you guys. Glad to hear the baby is healthy, sparty! And that you're hanging in there with the St Louis job.

ionacus, most of us have not found the WM Exclusives in this area. I never saw one, in any of the 5 WMs that I hit. I did get Jolt from DeepWater at this month's 'Con.

I...hate...Wal-Mart...Exclusives... :-x

Hi DeepWater, looking forward to my BD, PM me about it when you get a chance.

All of my Premiums came in at BBTS. Prime, Megatron, Blackout, Ironhide, and the Deluxe case which includes Jazz, BB, and Barricade. Just in time to fill my new shelves! Really looking forward to DS Starscream, I keep drooling over the galleries because he's one of the best repaints in the line.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

Has anyone seen the Walmart exclusive Jolt, Divebomb, Grindcore and Big Daddy in Michigan yet? If so where? I have checked 10 Walmarts and NOTHING.

They popped up at the Fort Gratiot (Port Huron) Walmart at the beginning of the month and I ended up with a set, my hunting partner ended up with a set and a few Jolts ended up with other people on this thread, but they seemed to have only gotten one shipment and they vanished quickly. Grindcore seemed particularly shortpacked.

And I regret not buying every single one I saw the night I stopped to get a sandwich and there was a full display.

Well I finally found the freaking 2008 Star Wars figures and I have them all now except the Imperial Shadow Guard.

I snagged an Iron Monger and I think he's awesome. I am going to make him fight my ML Iron Man :)

Nothing new Transformers or Joe related. FYI I have seen the Wal-Mart exclusives at the Jackson and West Lansing Wal-Marts.

PM me about what ALTs you need, I have a few floating around here that are extra and MISB.

Wow, how GM, RC and I missed each other must have been amazing, because Laura and I were there last night around 7:30, and I guess I suck because I missed him too. I saw Offroad Ironhide, Evac, First Strike Prime, but I'll be damned I did not see any Premium Ironhides. :!:

Heh, RC13 beat you all to the punch because he rules. :P

Premium Ironhide is very nice, they way that he should have been painted in the first place. The intricate detail of the mold itself really shines though with all the added paint apps. He's still Ironhide, obviously, just much sharper-looking, and movie-accurate.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

Hey! Give credit where credit is due buddy! RC13 only rules because I suck... well, err, wait, that didn't come out right, lets see... uhmmm :P

Had I not been swamped with homework, he would have been out with me, so technically you should thank me as well. Yeah, that sounds better :P :P

I saw the new Joe 3 packs at TRU in Livonia, minus the one I really wanted, the Crimson Guard set--so I didn't buy any yet. No other TRU exclusives have made it to this area.

Found the Premium Leader Megs & Primes at the Marysville Meijer. Two Megs and one Prime left. ^_^

I need rid of my head cold/mongolian death plague. Going to Meijer (for something completely unrelated which they didn't have) totally did me in for the day.
