I'm really amazed though. I haven't seen any '77 BB's at any of the stores I've been too in the past couple of weeks. It was pretty weird. I'm pretty glad I snagged mine when I did...


Nice, did they have any more Arcee and Dreadwings?

That is a trend I have noticed too lately. Must be a lot of kiddies are buying up Bumblebee after seeing the movie.

Not really a big deal, I just ordered that Alpha Trion set from TFCC so that pretty much blows my spending money for a few days.

Plus I have to finish getting stuff for my girlfriend (her birthday is this Sunday). She's going to score a Pink Nintendo DS and a couple other goodies.

Hey Guys! Bit of an update here but the Brighton Target had a couple of Arcees and a number of Dreadwings. Unforunately no 09 Bumblebees as of yet. Although, a few of you mentioned a lacking in 77 BB's of which the store was chock full.

You have to love the Brighton Target. I have picked up so much goodness from that store in the past. I'm sad I don't have any business trips down there so I can write off the milage.

I'm supposed to close on the house on Friday so if I do my weekend is going to be pretty busy and I won't be able to run down there.

I had a lot of help!

I'm glad with the pre-order of 6" Menasor I now have all of the SDCC stuff I want taken care.

This is my SDCC haul, not bad for not going :)

Alternators Rodimus
6" Menasor
Concept Obi-wan & Yoda
Destro (gold head)
Destro (silver head)

I'm still thinking about the Shadow Scout Trooper. Hmmmm.

Hey guys.

Picked up Robot Replicas Barricade today at the Allen Park Kmart(Megatron left, no BB when I arrived), and also grabbed two of the 3 the new Sig 6 Commandos, Black Ops, and Marine. They look sweet, can't wait to get home and check them out.

Oh, and JT, dude, I'm sorry I keep forgetting to pay you, I'll get on that after work today. Been getting slammed at work, and being without my car right now is a real hassle.

I miss my baby. :cry: Should be back in a week or so...

Oh, and btw, 08 BB is selling because people are paying $40 for him on ebay...
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

Rijie Seeking:

Botcon 2009--Souvenir Sweeps
Botcon 2010--Souvenirs Rapido, Scorch/Shattered Glass Ravage


MISP preferred, but will consider opened NM/Complete, especially for older figures. Lots of TFs for trade! Please PM any inquiries, serious interest only!

well, I just preordered alt rodimus on BBTS. it's $47.99 right now. I know I just got the Kiss Player version, but Goddammit, it's Rodimus :grin:

This is interesting.. I didn't notice it when I was over here the first time. Mainly cos I hadn't looked at Armorhide in a while. Thanks to Botcon Huffer, it was fresh in my mind. Pretty much all of the semi trucks(Lorries as they are called over here) look like Armorhide/Huffer. check it out.

it's been fun on the drive to work. I keep expecting them to transform. :grin:

Yup, BBTS actually has pretty good pricing on Rodimus. I think with shipping and collector's grade over there it's just under $60. I paid $65 on eBay :(

crud.. I'll have to keep my order for titanium menasor at cornerstorecomics.com. they'll assess me a 20% cancellation fee. I wanted to switch my order to BBTS and just get both from the same place. ah well. BBTS is only cheaper by a penny. of course, noob will come back with the comment that I don't like money so I waste it.... :grin:

I pre-ordered Encore Megatron from tfsource.com today. I sent an email a couple of days ago asking if it was going to be modded and the response I received back was "No!"

08BB picked up at Target on Westnedge in Kzoo. Only one on the shelfs, and no signs of RC or any other new ones. This new BB is BA for sure. :grin:

If I see any more 08BB I will let you guys know.

Kmart in South Lansing had 3 sets of Megatron, Barricade and Bumblebee Robot Replicas. I bought one Megatron, one Bumblebee and two Barricades.

Target in South Lansing had 1 deluxe Arcee and Dreadwing. I bought them both.

For those of you who've pre-ordered from BBTS, what sort of notification do they give? Do they warn you before they charge you or just notify you when your item ships? I have a Music Label Soundwave on pre-order and an empty bank account for the next week so I think I'm cutting things pretty close.

They will tell you when a pre-order is in, remember they have 'pile of loot' now, so there is no shipping until you tell them to.

If you have insufficient funds they will notify you and ask you to rectify it, immediatley, when the item is in and needs to be paid for.

As I remember hearing it, ML Soundwave was not due to arrive until July 25th or so...you've got a little time to scrounge.

Cool, that should give me enough time to cover it. Barring any emergencies, of course.
