I went to Wonderland Target tonight, no TF's of note. I did pick up the Series 1 Snake Eyes from Sigma Six. I've been eyeing the series since it came out and after PQP's recommendation at the con last Sunday, I snagged Snake Eyes. He is very cool, lots of weapons and posabilty. I still don't care for the faces/heads of non-masked figures, but now I'll have to pick up at least Storm Shadow.

Another one bites the dust...

Other Masked Sigma Six figs: Kamakura, Cobra Commander, Destro, and the new version of Firefly...add 'em to your list!

More competition for Sigma Six...great.

No new stuff, I'm slacking off (well I have a pile of loot, and I had a pile sent to me last week, before the big reboot of '07 with a lot of the stuff PQP has in his).

I want a Stealth Iron Man too. Loved that armor back in the day. Too bad it was so short lived, and basically had no weapons to speak of...

have to say the good thing about sigma six is the rereleasing of the older stuff with newer freebies. i've seen new pacakges that come with dvds and smaller figures at walmarts which is nice for new fans, but killer for completists.

picked up snake eyes some time ago and haven't opened him yet for fear of the awesomeness ...

oh and a heads up for the masses, amazon has some really good sales on sigma 6 stuff now, especially the dragonhawk for about $10 bux.

I went to Toys R Us in Flint last night - man that store sucks as much as the Okemos one. I went to Toys R Us in Jackson earlier today and they had the same 2 Grimlock's they have had for weeks.

Target in Jackson had pretty much nothing

Where are all the new toys at

EDIT: I forgot, the Toys R Us in Flint had 2 Jetfire's.

I didn't find anything tonight. Westland TRU was bare.. was hoping to find the reissue soundwave.. not yet though. Westland Target had 3 grimlocks. Canton Wal-mart had 1 6" titanium soundwave.

I might have to go grab the soundwave. If I can get off of my lazy ass, that is.

both wal-mart and target were crazy busy... good luck.

just oppened up my UM vs Skywarp two pack... if you think you want it... get it, well worth 20 bucks.

It's like a free deluxe for buying the Prime repaint..not a bad deal at all.
:shock:

Hell, I would have paid 20$ for the Skywarp by himself if he was some kinda exclusive or something...I totally think it's worth it.

Skywarp is soooo pretty. Pretty.Pretty.Shiney.Shiney.

Well I went out to the Target by Middlebelt and Plymouth as well as the Walmart, went to the Target and Walmart in Canton off of Ford Rd. and the Target in Westland and the TRU down the street and nothing.

But a good sign is that the TRU in westland looks like they are reorginizing their shelves wich is usually a good sign that some stock will be put out that night. Hopefully I'll be able to find any of the new Minicons, Either of the two new Classics Deluxes, either of the two new Titaniums or a Soundwave reissue.

Wish me luck...I'll be up there first thing in the morn or possibly, just in case, stopping by later this afternoon.

Still need me a Prime Tech-deck dude.

Hey, I'm not from Michigan, rather Chicago, but was wondering if I could join in your reindeer games as well.....

Close enough!! :grin:

Welcome. We had someone post from South Carolina.. don't know if they posted in the wrong thread or just wanted to join us too...

News Credits: 194 · by **RodimusConvoy13** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 11:34 am

we also don't have to worry about more competition in the area, since I hardly think you'd drive the 4 hours needed to go hunting here, when your hunting ground is bigger than ours...

oh yeah, I'm a Combiner... whoooooo! :grin:

by **Dagon** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 11:36 am

Yeah, well, I have plenty to complain about. My local Target has a tendency to stock things way late, compared even to other area Targets. They had the Magnus/Skywarp two pack on Friday but then Sunday they were gone. Fortunately I got mine on Friday.......but things will be out for like two months before they shelf them at my local one. They also have the G2 Megatron/Prime two pack there, and I thought that was a TRU exclusive. Maybe I'm wrong.

Yes indeed, very worth it. Skywarp is a beautiful figure. Probably the best paint of the entire Classics line.

Anyone can go anywhere on here, so all can come and go as they see fit...not sure sitings will help you much, but the whitty banter might be enjoyable.

that 2 pack is everywhere, not just TRU. i think the common consensus on those is that they're not worth the current price but if it hits clearance, it'll be worthwhile. i can't believe that they had both those 2 packs at the same price point.

magnus/skywarp vs mini-prime/megatron

hmm :-?

I still love the Prime/Megatron figures. The DVD was crap, though. Armada/Energon/Cybertron clip show? Pass.

Gave it to nephews so they could learn about TF history, so to speak.
