it doesnt if i havent opened him yet. i have a habit of not opening my new toys till weeks, sometimes months later.

EDIT: so how did everyone like my collection pics?

EDIT2: i have been thinking of making a "post your get together pics" thread in the sightings forum. is it a good idea?

Well, RC13 and I had a good night hunting! At the Ypsi Wal-Mart we found the wave two carded 25th Joe figures. We each got a set minus the Cobra Trooper for Todd. So 2 Buzzers, 2 Lady Jayes, 2 Beachheads, 2 Serpentors, and my Cobra Trooper :grin:

Then at the Target on Carpenter Road, we found the new wave of Target exclusive scouts. 3 Armorhides, 3 Elita-One's, and 3 Air Raids. One set for me, one set for PQP, and almost one set for Todd. He left the last Elita-One.

All in all, not a bad night :grin:

at the carpenter road targer, there were also 3 robot replicas jazz, 3 RR primes, and 2 frenzys. I picked up a prime for myself and PQP. the AA TRU actually got a shipment of deluxes. there were 3 payloads, 3 FB Jazz, 3 Longarms, an Arcee and two Dread wings. No BBs. I also got my Bumblebee and Grimlock busts today.. overall, I spent way too much money. luckily I made a fair amount at the con on sunday :grin:

This is completely offtopic, but I just heard the Red Sox lost today. They're now 1.5 games ahead of the Yankees. Wouldn't it be interesting (and sad for Boston fans!) if the Red Sox ended up losing the majority of their games the next couple weeks, lose first place to the Yankees....and Detroit goes on a winning streak, capturing the wild card on the last weekend of the season?

Looks like I'm going shopping tomorrow

By the way, I know it's a bit OT, but is anyone going to see Transformers at the IMAX this Friday? I'm dragging my parents out to see it finally.

Well, I'll post a mini review of my haul from yesterday... cos, you know.. you guys, like, care...

and I'm bored :grin:

Target Exclusive Scouts: Air Raid is cool. I don't like his coloring as much as the gray one in the last wave(SkyBlast?). but he's still got that cool, I'm standing guard outside Prime's office, look to him. Armorhide freakin rules. I wasn't a huge fan of this mold(I always liked it, but it didn't stand out to me) until I got Botcon Huffer. This version of Armorhide, while not as cool as Huffer, still beats the pants off the original Cybertron version. Definitly very cool.

RR Prime: Well, he's a robot replica and he's Prime. good enough I suppose, but I think I will hold off any other RRs unless they did an RR Hot Rod :grin:

25th Anniv. 2nd wave carded Joes(long enough description? :grin:

): Beachhead is definitely the best sculpt. all 4 of the new ones are quite good. Serpentor has a removable helmet. he's bald. As are all the troopers, I guess, even terrorists lose their hair after 25 years. The ones I got all seem to hold their weapons well and can stand on their own for more than 30 seconds.

anyways.. that's all from RC13's desk o' toys at the moment. If you didn't care about anything I had to say, just yell a loud, "SHADDUP!" and I will. :grin:

I picked up a Bumblebee and a Longarm

I stopped by the ann arbor/saline road target. they had restocked on deluxes, probably one case. they also had new real gears, new scouts, and new FABs. they had 2 FAB BB, 2 FAB Barricade and 1 FAB megs. they also had voyager megs, ratchet, ironhide and starscream

News Credits: 3 · by **Highbeam** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 5:52 pm

Went to the Carpenter Rd. Target today to see what I could grab, and spotted the following:

* Leader Brawl (x4)
* FAB -- Barricade (x2), Bumblebee (x1), Blackout (x1), Optimus (x1), Frenzy (x2)
* Deluxe -- Payload (x1), Arcee (x1), G1 repaint Jazz (5+)
* Voyager -- G1 repaint Starscream (x4)
* Scout -- Skyblast (x1), Elita-one (x1)
* Titanium Die Cast -- Scourge (x1), Optimal Optimus (x1), Thundercracker (x1)
* RR -- Frenzy (x1),
* Ultimate Bumblebee (x2)
* Unleashed Ultimus Prime (5+)

SW Transformers -- Jando Fett (x2), Clone Pilot (x2), Obi Wan (x2)

I just grabbed one of the RR Frenzy's because it looks neat. He's too tall though, compared to all the others I've got.

I was jealous when I read at work today you guys got the new wave, but now that I did some hunting, I'm REALLY jealous.

I only thing of note in my travels is Livonia WM restocked the ML series 2, so they had 2 Thors, which I haven't seen in a while along w/ the rest of the series.

Seriously, ever since I got into Minimates, I've discovered that Diamond Select is one of the most customer friendly toy companies out there. I got my mail today and in it was a package from DST. I thought it was weird as I hadn't ordered anything. I figured it was some kind of order mix-up that I'd have to return but I opened it to find a couple of promotional Minimates from SDCC along with a letter which reads,

Diamond Select Toys wrote:To our Valued Customer,

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support as well as your business with Diamond Select Toys. In order for us to show you how much your loyalty means to us, enclosed is a free gift.

In addition use the code XXXXXXXXXXXX for 10% off of in-stock merchandise featured in our web store (this does NOT include pre-orders). The promotional code has a limit use of one per customer and expires at the end of December 2007. We look forward to any future business you may have with us!

Sincere Thanks,
Diamond Select Toys

I omitted the promo code because I'm not sure if it's something I'm supposed to be spreading around.

I'm not sure exactly why they did this but, whatever the reason, DST rocks and I'm totally blown away by this.

GM was this part of the contest you entered with the minimates?

Seems to be a random "thank you" to the people that buy Minimates from DST and isn't connected to that contest. Oddly enough, the Minimates DST sent me are the same ones that I won in that contest. No Santa Cylon, though. I don't even have one of those for myself yet.

Santa Cylon? Is he CLASSIC or new style???

:???:

Makes me want to buy through Diamond. I buy so much from BBTS, and I don't get squat.

Yesterday a buddy picked up 25th Joes Wave 2 (Woodhaven Wal-Mart) and Clocker (YAY!) and Scout Wave 3 (Woodhaven Target) for me. What a great guy! There was still more left he said. Not sure if they are still there today though.
