Once he's sold out they put up wheeljack. Then he sells out and they put up warpath. You can't order them all at the same time. They must make a lot of money on shipping. :-/

I'd be pissed if it wasn't a little bit more expensive to go anywhere else(like bbts)!!! ...and if I didn't have them at all. But, yeah, I've got 3 separate shipments coming my way. But here again, I wish I had 4....damn Wreck-gar...missed him!

also if windcharger goes up on HTS and anyone in the roseville/warren area feels like grabbing an extra i'll gladly pay you back for him!

He's actually not listed on HTS anymore.

Yeah, but they actually removed the listing for Windcharger completely. If you search for him you can't find him.

w00t! got my Wreck-Gars from HTS today. NIce to finally have the Hasbro version. He's riding himself at the moment :grin:

will eventually have Scrapheap riding 1 RTS Wreck-Gar and then have both the RtS and United versions displayed in Robot mode.

I've got two more Warpaths coming next week. 1 each for me and tfpredaking. But I am done!!! no more TFs for a while. Gotta reign in my spending. Hopefully should be easy since I really don't want much of anything from Dark of the Moon.

Well, if I had the money to spare, I'd buy a whole bunch of them and then go all "Office Space" on them :-)

I'd love to do that with some Tuner Mudflaps and Sea Attack Ravages :grin:

Hell, the way the stores are right now, I'd do it to Seaspray! and I like that figure :grin:

Yeah, the DotM line is kind of a letdown so far. I'm itching for Leader Ironhide and Sentinal Prime, prolly Voyager Shockwave as well as Laserbeak. Leader Bumblebee would be nice, if he didn't look so freakin' bulky.

Beyond that, we'll have to see. I'm not too happy about the scaled-down Deluxe class, plus the fact there's nothing really exciting coming out for them.

Got my igear kup heads today (along with my hot toys iron man mark vi). Like my Kup about 50 times better with the new head. He looks like a grizzled old warrior now instead of a grizzled old corpse!

I love K-Mart. I rarely go there and never do anything but browse their out-of-date toy aisles, but there's always an unexpected surprise waiting for me. I had seen a red RotF Rampage in a TRU 3-pack, but didn't want the extra Bumblebee and Ravage. I didn't know they'd packaged him separately as well, but there he was, waiting between a pair of HftD Jetblades, knowing I was eventually coming for him.

Short of the HA Twins, which I haven't seen anywhere and I'm still not sure I want, and Elita-1, who's a pretty lame repaint that's not even the same color as her movie version, I think I'm finally caught up on RotF.

Alright, DotM. Let's do this.

Only thing I've been able to find lately was one Kup figure at the Allen Park/Dearborn Meijer. Had a price sticker on it, took it to the self checkout and of course, wasn't in the system yet. But after some 10+ minutes of weedling, the lady in charge of the self checkouts rang it up for me, mwaha! I've been too TF deprived lately and I wasn't letting them take him away from me...

I was in Royal Oak visiting my Aunt this morning and decided to stop at TRU first. Good thing I did as I found Scourge AND Kup, of which they only had one each.
It was actually weird seeing TFs on the pegs that weren't ones I've seen a billion times before. I had to do a double-take. I'd forgotten what it felt like to find anything new!

Hey all. I picked up an extra Kup and Scourge in GR this week. I'll trade either for Warpath, Thundercracker, Wheeljack, or Windcharger. I know it's unlikely, but let me know if you have an extra of any of these guys and need a Kup or Scourge.

Ann Arbor Saline Road Target had 1 Scourge along with 2 tracks and a Jazz. Human alliance figures were on clearance for $23, but they only had 1 shadow sideswipe. None of the deluxes were on clearance, although people are reporting some targets have them on clearance.

Hmm, maybe things are starting to pick up. Actually saw two Scourges and a Sgt. Kup at Meijer in Kzo tonight.

i would just like to find any RTS figures near me. though the target by my work had PCC 2packs and HA figures at clearance prices.

Just from lack of anything else to buy, I almost picked up some of the Green Lantern movie toys at TRU today. Then I realized how awful they all looked. The CnC Parallax in the Movie Masters line is 14 pieces?! They've only released the first three figures in that line so far! At least I won't have to waste my money on them. If these things are any indication, the movie is going to suck G'nort balls.

Hey, I know it's way off subject, but is anybody interested in buying a boat for the summer. I'm selling mine because I don't have time for it. I'll negotiate a little for Optimus Prime and Megatron stuff that I don't have. MP-04 Optimus Prime, Machine Wars Optimus Prime, Reissue Powermaster Optimus Prime, etc. Let me know what you have. You can see my listing for the boat here: http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/boa/2356495092.html Thanks guys.

I've been anticipating the sighting...but more and more expecting the worst. I actually picked up some of the 4"...very child oriented, but cool constructs that can be(some easily, some a little more work) used with 6" and actually look better with 6". I would like to get the 6" figures eventually, I think, but I have a feeling we can all wait for clearance in a year or two and buy them then! Especially since it doesn't sound like they are going to sell well...and at 20 bucks...we need to revolt on that issue alone :-?
