Nice. So what's your impression of the big guy?

I like him a lot actually. It is massive. Just wish there was knee articulation, but overall I am happy.

I wish the toy's knees bent in the Ultimate combined mode. They don't unfortunately. The toy itself is massive, as is the packaging. It will be an impressive display piece in our collections. I'm in the middle of finishing up the photos for his gallery now.

I so wish I had the voyager with a trailer. I'm hoping for a US release. Ha Ha, I got a "multi quote" to work!

He does have elbows, limited shoulder movement, and "split" leg movement. Cause of the sixe of the guy I have him on display with his wings down, so it looks like a cape. I've started calling Lord Prime.

2 of the Ultimate Optimus Primes at Des Plaines Kmart around 3pm. Go get 'em my friends!

Poverty sucks!

You were let go from your job? That blows. Wish you lived nearby. I'd take you straight to the bar for a round of drinks.

Oh we so all need to get together for drinks.

Sorry to hear about your job situation my friend. Beer on me if you're in my neck of the woods any time soon.

Dohhh!!! That sucks First Aid. Polish the resume and don't give up. I just went back to work a little over 2 mths ago after being out for 8-9 mths, so I know how u feel.

Nice Padre, now u have to find a Lord Megatron to pair Prime up with.

Ryan, I'm not making friends over the CNN posts on TFW

OK, drinks? I'm in! Next week? ANyone? What days work for everyone?

It'd make my day to have you help recruit people for the Illinois sightings forum here. We'd be glad to have you back here on a full time basis and figure out what we can do to make Seibertron.com more enjoyable for all of you.

Woo hoo! We just hit 6,001 Facebook followers!

I'd be up for going to see TF again. Maybe we could do drinks and TF DOTM. You thinking out there? Schaumburg? What makes you a happy man, my friend?

Heh heh...I just saw DOTM again today. Was a rough day and needed the distraction from reality...I'd be happy to make the roadie out there...I highly recommend the Elgin/Randall Road Tilted Kilt. Virtually all of the staff there are...umm...extremely well qualified...to work there! ANd the kiltburner wings are epic win...

Did I mention the staff are well qualified?

That might be a good half way point. Is it close off 90?

Would anyone else be interested in meeting up?

Yeah it's pretty close off of I-90...I want to say between 5-10 minutes depending on the stop lights.

On a random note, I have to come up with a name for my new car I bought (before they let me go) and was hoping for some suggestions from you guys. It's a metallic red Chevy HHR...I loved the retro look and it's bigger than the PT Cruiser (which also had that cool retro look). I just cant think of any TF alt modes that resemble it...some help please?

Hubcap.

How about this fun statistic for the past year? We are not alone, my friends.

I'm always here full time Just sometimes its not very action packed so I don't post. I also don't have as much time to run around and hit stores up for sightings. Local one's I still hit on a regular basis, but no real sightings as of late sadly. Don't worry, I'm always lurking in the background.

Sides we need to get together and talk about some things mano-el-mano bout some idears.

If I ever get a solid work schedule we can have a Seibertron Chicago bash at my place if ya wanted.

Want the Target deluxe class exclusives? Not sure when our stores plan on putting them out, but they're in the back!

DPCI: 087-06-1594

Word to the wise though, the Target app on my phone doesn't find these by the DPCI numbers like it did with the DOTM products for some reason. I had to use the in store UPC scanner (the one that lets you manually input a DPCI number) to find out if it was in the stockroom.

The case breakdown is this: 4 x Bumblebee, 2 x Arcee, 1 x Jazz and 1 x Space Case. For those of you hoping to get Space Case ... good luck!

Ugh, of course Space Case is one to a case. Here's hoping I don't have too much trouble finding him.

The logic is sound. He's not in the movie. Kids aren't going to necessarily want him before other figures like BB and Prime. SO let's not make to many so we don't have excessive stock. For the most part, collectors and kids who like airplanes will probably be the only folks picking up these figs.

Meant to post that I got these from the Schaumburg Higgins Target. The employee was putting Arcee and the other 3 Bumblebees out on the pegs as I was walking away.

Here's hoping. And it may be logical, but it ain't helpful!

This forum isn't just about sightings. It can be used to discuss whatever you guys like.

Would like to plan another Seibertron.com meetup ... but it's going to be a little before I can do the 2.5 - 3 hour round trip down there again. It is very nice of you to offer to host another meetup.

I'd also like to get together with some of the NW/Rockford guys in the near future (who I've never gotten together with) and they're in the complete opposite direction from you.

Would you be willing to come up this way? When's the next Kane county toy show? Maybe we should all make an outing of it in October. I'm also considering going to Slagacon in October if anyone is interested in heading down there.
