Saw the legends 3 pack, pretty nice, but all I want is the Rodimus, I guess I'll go back for one in a couple days. Last but not least Star Tits Prime was in the house! Doesn't look so bad, might go back for that as well.

You know the thing about space Prime is that he's so cheap with Comettor. It's a couple dollars less for both figures than a regular Voyager class figure, plus Prime gets a new head mold. It's priced so attractively that it's hard to pass up.

Very hard to pass up! It will be mine!!!!

Thank you so much. My wallet loves you.

So when are the DOTMs going to go on sale? IIRC, the ROTF stuff went on sale very soon after it was officially released. I've got Deluxes to stock up on. I told myself I would not buy new molds of old characters, such as Ratchet, Jolt, Barricade, etc., unless they were on sale.

I saw a whole mess of those at my local Walmart. They must have had fifty of them.I almost bought one because it was $18 for both, but I did not notice the lame stars on it. Oh man....I am so glad I didn't buy that thing....

Rosemont / Mannheim Target had 1 Shockwave, 2 Skyhammers, 2 Sentinel Primes as of 9pm tonight.

Finally got my hands on Space Tits Optimus!

And so completes my collecting for right now, I'm honestly starting to think I might end up selling some stuff. Money is getting increasingly tight and the job prospect is still pretty sketchy at best. =/

But I need some advice, what would be the easiest way to determine what to sell? I have a mix of Generations and Reveal the Shield, which I REALLY don't wanna get rid of, but I also have ROTF stuff that you won't find on the shelves again, around here at least. I also have a couple Universe figures, HardHead, Vector Prime, Prowl, Bluestreak and Smokescreen, that I thought about. But then realize its impossible to find those too in stores I mean.

I'm sure you can see my dilemma, its tough to decide. I have a "Prime collection" that I refuse to get rid of as well, as it spans from Universe to Generations to Titanium, Reveal the Shield and movie verse. Plus he's just always been my favorite character lol.

But please any advice on how to decide who to sell, I already have an idea on who I want to keep. But even the ones I want to sell is just a hard choice, cause I did buy them, cause they obviously were the coolest looking and I liked the characters.

The thing I find disturbing about your ideology is that you are willing to sell RTS, GEN, Universe, Etc... to get money, yet you waste it on POS Transformers like Prime w/ Comettor. I would not have given $5 for that crap. You need to save your cash for important things, like Generations Warpth.

F'in kids........geez.......

Heh, kids. Hey wait, there are some on my lawn, BRB...

Anyway. I picked up DOTM Shockwave and Skyhammer at Target Rosemont this evening, at abot 6 they had 1 or 2 of each I think- I was running late for a thing so I literally grabbed them and kept going, hardly slowed down. Thanks Ryan!

Glad I could help, Gus!

Saw a Skyhammer and Shockwave at Mount Prospect Walmart tonight about an hour ago still. Powerglide and Blackout as well.

HEY! I just don't nit pick over something as tiny as stars, I just liked him for his voyager scale battle hookedness. Plus its a Prime figure, so he was meant to go in my collection and you show me the day Warpath shows up in Rockford and I'll acknowledge your comment. But considering that all the good stuff goes to the Chicago area first, I'll be buying my Warpath online along with WheelJack when I get the chance too.

Give it a month or so, you'll be rolling in Warpaths. They'll be on clearance in the fall when you won't be able to give it away.

We all remember the original 2007 Movie Deluxe Bumblebee quest, how everybody was nuts trying to find him, then we ended up swimming in them. I hope history indeed repeats itself w/ Warpath, Windcharger, etc.

And an FYI about Target, I use my Red Card debit card, which gives me 5% off everything all the time, even sales. So the $20 Voyagers are only $19, comparable to Walmart's 18.77 price. The Red Card is free to get and use, and they also have a credit version. FWIW.

Picked up Starscream and Shockwave at Walmart and Sideswipe at Target over the weekend to go along with my Optimus from launch day. Not a bad one in the bunch. Probably will go for Crankcase or Roadbuster next.

hey guys just found wheeljack warpath and thundercracker at the algonquin walmart they had two sets \

Hah! Figures the first time I pre-ordered something for fear of it not getting released, it ends up appearing in town. Ah well, better safe than sorry.

Did you happen to go by Algonquin Target and see if they'd finally put DOTM stuff out yet?

algonquin target has had there stuff out for awhile
they even have shockwave and skyhammer sitting on the shelf
you can go and pick up wj tc and wp and cancle your preorder

Cool, Target didn't have their stuff out a week ago, and I figured they'd have it now but thought I'd check just to be sure.

Already received those figures a month ago, otherwise I gladly would cancel it! S'alright, I only had to pay a little bit more than regular cost.

cool i did not know you had them already
by the way i live in algonquin so i hit the stores arpund here wheni can
target has such a small section for dotm i doubt we will be seeing any of the new stuf there for awhile

Right on, I'm in Algonquin as well, so we can keep each other up-to-date with sightings around here.

Uhhh.....you guys aren't gonna start making out or anything are you?

-sighs-

Well my decision to sell some of my stuff just got the justification I WASN'T looking forward too. Took a friend home today, was heading towards the 173 exit, when I switched lanes and got behind a slow moving semi. Not even two minutes after I switched lanes, a rock or some sort of object shot out from under its rear wheel and smacked against my front wind shield. Spider cracking it all along the passenger side.

Best part about this story, my insurance won't cover it because I was only paying for liability....so there goes two hundred bucks right down the tubes.

Check with your insurance company before you spend any money. I think your windshield is considered a safety item and you may be eligible for some kind of assistance. No guarantees, just something I heard. Gluck.

What are you selling? I might buy if we can see some stuff. Bummer about your windshield, but you could wait to fix it until the fall. Just don't go into winter like that, cause it will get waaaaay bigger.
