Checked out Walmart (West Lansing, Okemos, South Lyon, Livonia), Target (West Lansing, South Lansing, Okemos, Wixom, Livonia), TRU (Okemos, Novi, Livonia) and I'm not kidding you, if they had movie deluxes, it was only 3 remaining of the protoforms or the June 2nd wave.

In fact, in all the places I was at today, there was a bunch of TF stuff aside from a few voyagers and then empty pegs where the movie deluxes are supposed to be.

It really looks like Hasbro completely stopped shipping out deluxes (and voyagers but there were at least a couple in the places I was at aside from a couple exceptions). Now, I have no idea if the lapse in time is because they're releasing a whole new wave of them or what, but it's pretty depressing. I was hoping to see at least something new.

I guess the only positive thing about this is that when the new stuff hits the stores, it's going to hit all the stores at once. Hopefully soon, I got a bit of cash burning a hole in my pocket right now

I did see the robot replicas which were cool, but honestly, I don't think it makes sense to even sell 'em lol.
West Lansing Target had two Ultimate Bumblebees, which look kinda odd imo.

I did get an email that my WWI Grimlock bust has shipped. also, one of the beastwars figures I ordered came in at BBTS. that'll sit there until more stuff comes in. but when I get back, I'll have the two cds I ordered, 4 tit menasors and 2 alt roddys waiting for me plus, the flash gordon(its so bad its good) movie from 1980 comes out on DVD tomorrow. I'll have to pick that up.

.. FLASH! Aaahhaaaah....
