Welcome back TFM, and yes, I hate you. :-x I've never seen one in person, much less one for $35 dammit. Grr. I guess it serves you right that I forgot about the TMNT bat-thingie anyway. :P

No sightings to report. I had a nice weekend, finally bagging up alot of my collection to make room for new stuff. I worked a 12-hr day on Sat, and then as a reward, I spent 3 hrs opening stuff that has been piling for months lol. X-Men, SOTA Street Fighter, MLs, Sigma 6, Mortal Kombat Ninjas, and I finally opened my Kiss Player's Rodimus and Galaxy Force Soundblaster! Holiday in Feb!

Gotta chase away the cabin fever one way or another.

I went out to Taylor today to take my wife to the mall out there and decided to stop by Midtown Comics while we wer out there and low and behold I found a Icons Blue Beast in Lab coat for 35$!!!

Better then what I would pay anywhere else second hand...


Is that rare? Toys R Us in Jackson had one last week. I'll be down there again this weekend, if it is I can pick it up for someone.

Went to TRU Westland and Target today. Target has the new Sigma Six wave with Flaming Kamakura (Sp?) and TRU had about 6 Re-issue Soundwaves if anyone needs him.

That's all to report for now.

Hey guys what do you think of getting together when the movie comes out and seeing it as a group? Could be the beginning of a Michigander meet up.

The Xtravacon's in Livonia on March 4th will be a pseudo meet up. I'm in for some post-con food.

Thanks for the post TFM, I picked up Long Range and Kamakura today. :D Grand Slam, Snake-Eyes, and Duke were left.

Damn the Con is just a couple of weeks away now. Feb actually flies when the sun comes out from time to time. I hope that it is better than the last one.

Same here about making any commitments to the movie just yet. Truth be told I'd rather see the movie on my own, then maybe a second time with the Michiganders. Unless it completely sucks, of course. Then we can all just come here and pour our hearts out over it.

Nothing else new really, finally laying off the hunting...I'm tired of being treated like a shoplifter everywhere I go. I don't know what the deal is with that lately...if I ever make a complete shift from brick&mortar to online, that will be the final nail in the coffin. Stores suck.

TFM, still looking for another Ramjet? TRU in Westland has one, and the Walmart on Ford Rd. has one left now. $3 different in price, so I assume you want to try Wally world first, if you're still looking for one.

I can't wait for some spring weather. Even though winter (to me) has gone pretty fast, I still want sunshine and warmer weather.

I used a Walmart gift card to get a Ramjet and a minicon pack, the Preds. I'm thinking that the black wolf makes a nice stnad in for Mirage's loved turbo foxes, so I am trying to amass a small pack of them for him to raise and then hunt! :P

Picked up 6" Titanium Starscream from WalMart Livonia today, they also had RID Prime & a Rodimus Prime. Not a whole hell of alot going on toy wise, which I guess isn't a terribly bad thing. Looking forward to the show next Sunday.

Was there only the one? I'm still looking for that bugger since I got a mispackaged version from BBTS.

I was thinking about that too. I went up there about a half hour ago and all that was left is Tit Op Op. I need Rid Prime too and was hoping beyond hope he was still there?

Did you pick him up too because if you didn't have him already it would be kinda stupid to get the repaint and not the new mold first. I guessing you had him already but skipped on SS for the time being untill today.

In any case you need to be clearer with your sightings sometimes. I can't tell from what you posted if you picked him up or not. If you did, saying so would have saved me a waisted trip...well not too waisted.

I checked their clearance items and they had the SWTF Falcon for 13$ so I finally picked it up...oh and it had the actual titanims in it too.

Were you talking to me or jsmith, cause I was a little unclear about that. :P

I assume you were talking to him, because I did not go over there. I only went to TRU in Westland, and Walmart on Ford Rd. and there were no TITs at either location.

guys, if you collect the marvel super hero showdown, KB toys have been getting some wave 3 and 4 figures. most of the variants have probably been scooped up by now, but you could possibly get regulars still.

the outlets have been getting the ML young avengers and house of M box sets and if you buy 2 they're only about $15 a piece. they've also been stocking some older MLs from series 9/10/13/14. those are about 4-5 a piece. for people late to the game, time to get some old stuff!

haha. i BET god magnus got the RID prime and rodimus :)

oh and the walmart in howell had the g1 transformers key chains! multiples of everyone but bumblebee. the bumblebee packages had uncle cliffy in them. OMG SUPER RARE VARIANT!
JTK, i didn't pick up any for you since you said that you ordered them off BBTS.
