Yeah he was! I ordered Wheeljack and Warpath from toysrus.com last weekend with their buy 1 get 1 50% off sale. So stinking happy its almost surreal.

Kre-O sets are buy-one-get-one-50%-off at TRU again. Today and tomorrow only, apparently. I grabbed Megatron and Starscream at Westland TRU.

can't find him anywhere....just sentinel.

Hey guys, if anyone is looking for a leader class Ironhide, the Kmart in Royal Oak (the John R and 12 mi one) has a solid waste-load of 'em, as well as the two newer HA sets, Laserbeak and DOTM TC. The good stuff is all in a couple of those cardboard stand-up shelves near the door.

Finally got my LC Ironhide there (one that wasn't defective right out of the box!) yesterday, and with my Sears employee discount it came to under $40 (they're on sale for $39).

the 13/schoennor(sp?) kmart has the TF display up also. leader ironhides, new deluxes, cyberverse and HA figures. i picked up hatchet and laserbeak. dont think i am going to be getting leader ironhide though.or much else for that matter.

Man, I was just there earlier in the week and they didn't have anything good like that. Guess I'm going back later.

EDIT: Alright, I went back.
I found a few Laserbeaks, picked one up. Nothing really new otherwise though they did have Leader Ironhides. No HA Wreckers to be seen and that floor display wasn't around anymore. Nothing rare in Kre-O.
They have a few of those Battle Ops Bumblebees, but they're still at full price. I wonder when they'll clearance them like Target. I'm still fighting the battle between wanting that or Leader Bee. DotM has the cool new car mode and can pull pieces out for a close approximation of the Stealth Force mode, but Battle Ops has the more accurate robot. Decisions, decisions.
If HA Bumblebee had accurate arms/legs, I wouldn't have this dilemma. =P

I went over the 14/John R Target after, found Hatchet. Kinda silly he turns into a jet, but I may get a second Crankcase and add see if I can get him to look a little more like Crowbar. That, plus I'm still a little peeved Crankcase's neck joint was broken when I transformed him this first time.
If they do make Crowbar, it'd be nice if they' included those club/spikes that they throw at Ironhide (even though I think that's Crankcase who does it, but those things are sweet).

Picked up Solar Storm Grappel and Lugnut at the westside Ann Arbor TJMaxx today. They looked like the only ones there. They did have 2 Deep Dives left. At least these guys might be popping up in the area. Only 9.99 each.

Greetings and salutations Michiganders. Just want to give positive representations to noob and TT24 for my BC SG Galvatron/AM Thundercracker set and number two Punch/Counterpunch, thanks a million, gents!

Missing everybody, hope you are all weathering this intense heat with chins held high! (It's easier for the perspiration to drip off that way...)

I hear the Force practicing for this weekends air show...

I've been pretty quiet on here lately. I haven't gotten much in the way of Transformers lately. I did pick up a space case at the Canton Target on Mich Ave Tuesday night. they had to get one out of the back for me. It's a nice figure. I've been mainly getting Legos lately. I never thought I'd like the Lego City sets so much, but they're awesome. I'm also looking forward to the Marvel and DC legos that were just announced at SDCC. the Thor mini figure looks awesome!

It's all downhill from here. I am addicted to most Star Wars LEgos, and Harry Potter and the random set here or there of others.

Saw them when I was out driving. Pretty sweet. And you're welcome.

So, ny wife bought me the small Kre-O Optimus Prime while she was out the other day and I kinda like the little thing. Tons of articulation for something built with Leog-style blocks. I really want to grab the large version with the trailer and also have to pick up Megatron. I'm kind of addicted to these and I may have to go back and hunt down some Buit to Rule Armada sets.

I put the small Bbee set together last night, and was pretty impressed. For the price, and amount of bricks, it's a pretty swell brick build.

i have the small BB jazz and mirage put together and they are pretty cool. bought sideswipe and prowl last night withe the kre-os being bogo half off. i cant wait to get starscream and sentinal prime.

I love em all! was even able to fix up Mirage so he doesn't look goofy..the big ones are beyond cool. I'm becoming addicted to legos as well. They are coming out with some great sets. just picked up the mil. falcon...I mean come on...what is possibly cooler in this world than the mil. falcon. tform wise I'm really looking forward to the not insecticons and the eventual make toys not bruticus.

I personally just saw it at the Flint toys r us but i didnt see the price. according to tru online store it is $150

yes it's the newest, I found it at tru in pontiac...and yes it was 150 big freakin bucks....but they had buy one get one 50% so I got the frigate too so it cost me even more but the "bucks per" were less....

I wanted to buy the new train set, which is also 150(to get the bang for the buck), but city wasn't included in the 50%.

What's up, Seibertronian homies? Just wanted to remind everyone that there's an Xtravacon tomorrow. Hope to see some of you there! http://www.motorcityconventions.com/

heads up to anyone collecting the movie figs. i just came from walkmart and 12 and gratiot and they had just about everything except ultimate optimus. deluxe optimus, skyhammer, shockwave, cyberverse optimus with trailer, etc. also they have the dvd sets of the g1 cartoon for 20 each and season one comes bundled with gi joe the movie. if i didnt already have it i'd have grabbed one.

Good to see a few of you at both shows over the weekend~ I had a table at the Clinton Twp show and did okay... And then spent it all on the way home/Sunday at Xtrava.
