Been in San Antonio since Thursday.
Got the new Red Rampage. It pleases me.
Seen some older figures, so hopefully I can find some Sideswipes and a Barricade.
Also waiting for my new Mindwipe to arrive.

We don't do much on vacations. I'm bored.
I mean, I love seeing my family, but... I'm bored.

anyone heard of this: http://davisonindex.mihomepaper.com/new ... tured.html
It's a flint comixcon at the masonic temple downtown. I will probably check it out since it is right around the corner...so to speak.

I'm going to be there Saturday. Hopefully there will be more Transformers stuff there than there was last year.

I'll be there at some point on Saturday. I'm going as Jayne Cobb this year. It'll be the first time dressing up in costume at one of these for me.

There wasn't a lot of transformers last year, but I did find a MISB Nucleon Quest Convoy for $75. That was awesome :grin:

Nobody is coming in, I'm so bored :sad:

I guess I shouldn't complain. I could have a store full of "Head-Plates"

Not going. Spent too much money already this month. Have to save for Botcon reg too.

Hmm. I may end up moving there this year, so I've gotta ask: Are TFs priced any differently out that way? I know they have Target, so at least in that I can rest easy.

It's been quiet around here. I hate these lulls between TF series. I would really like to get the Iacon package this year, but $305 is most likely more than the new iPhone when it comes out this summer. so far the set looks really cool. Here's hoping they use RiD molds for the rest of it so I don't want it :grin:

noob! you need to post here more. especially if the California thread is as lame as you said it was. :grin:

Did you guys look at these pics yet? http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1 ... 94b455536d

I can't wait for the Bruticus upgrade. That looks fantastic!

I'll be there on Sat. Was originally thinking about making an ascended Adria (Stargate) outfit to wear, but will probably be testing out my new Steampunk outfit instead

Also hoping for more TF stuff to browse.

C2E2 was great! Not much around as far as TFs go, just the usual smattering of G1 stuff at a few tables. One guy did have an Animated Roadbuster Ultra Magnus priced at $90 and that made me sad. I never saw it in store and I kinda wanted one but still would have hesitated even with the retail price.

I got a bunch of exclusives including the Blackest Night Black Lantern Hal Jordan and White Lantern Sinestro. I had to stand in line 3 times before I finally won the right to buy them.

Also, C2E2 Battle Beast Minimate (different from the Toy Fair version)!!!!!!

Wow, nice job grabbing all the exclusives.

I like the Battle Beasts minimate especially.

I just wanted to let everyone know that BBTS has preorders up for all the new Takara Animated figures that include Wing Blade Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime. I have an order in for one of each of those figures and then the crystal clear set that has Prime and Rodimus. No pictures of that yet, so I don't know what version of prime or what the colors are.

I'll front page you as soon as I get a chance.

I just got my Classics Starscream Coronation set from Tfsource. Makes Starscream a quite a bit cooler now that i can angle his wings back a little. But the best part is that he has his G1 style blasters. HUGE improvement over the clasics style. he even looks pretty good with his cape, paldrons, and crown on. (actually the crown is a little iffy)

My wallet is enjoying the lack of new product in stores, that's for sure.

BBTS has a preorder up for the Headrobots Hard Head add on. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... icture=out

It definitely makes Universe Hard Head a more interesting figure. :grin:

I wish I could say the same thing....playing catchup with marvel legends baf's and dc stuff....add new transformers and I am in serious trouble.

I was looking forward to getting a 12" War Machine from the Iron Man line... but rather than 12" figures, they've got like 8" this time.
What the deuce? They're ruining my immaculate collection of 1/6 Marvel.

Curiosity: have we heard any news on the 3rd motorcycle from RotF? I've been pinching my pennies lately, but aside from that I'll prolly only get HA Barricade and Jazz this year. I don't think I want the Twins. The hype's died down, I don't need all the people.
