Haha, sorry buddy. I'll keep an eye out for you if you want.

It was a total of $70 for everything, which is pretty good. I don't mind selling a copied set, but I'm still not quite sure how to make copies of DVDs...

Hope the graduation party went well.

No worries, I'm just giving you a hard time, I'll find him today I'm sure. I wish I went to the con, outdoor parties + all day off & on rain = crappy party.

Cool.

The Allen Park Target has one Leader Megatron, two RoboVision Primes, nothing else that can't be found elsewhere. Everything is still on sale.

The DB TRU display was cruddy as well, but I did snag the Voice Changer Helmet there, only because they have several with Cullen's voice. Keep in mind not just to look for the "Real Movie Voice" vs "Battle Phrases" saying on the front...there is a HUGE difference in Cullen's voice and the knockoff one. So make sure you check the actual voices as well.

Okay, back to work.

The Allen Park Target must have just restocked, I didn't see Leader Megatron there Sat. or Sunday. Was going to go to the Meijer but they didn't stock till Sunday. The Manager was extremly rude when I asked him on Saturday night around 11pm about when they would stock. I had seen a worker with them a week before, and he was told to take them back due to the release date. When I told the manager he was like "You saw them physically in the store?" and "There have been bigger movies then Transformers and they don't have release dates or anything."

Well, I took my busted BB back for a replacement and much to my dismay, ended up with another flawed one. This time though, I was able to fix it. So now my BB works.

By the way, has anyone had trouble with Brawl? He seems to be about the flimsiest of the TF's I've looked at so far. The swivel cannon that contains his arms likes to pop off the black platform and one of the turrents falls off as well. Anyone else run into this? I'm almost wondering if I should exchange him and try my luck with something a bit less flimsy.

I went looking around today. I picked up a Robo-Vision Prime and a Booster X10. There were plenty of Robo-Visions at Wonderland Target, Joe. I'm hoping to be able to pick up a few more deluxes this weekend. Man, being broke now, with all the new stuff out, sucks so bad.

Also, on a side note, I find it strange that the Leader Class Prime at TRU is cheaper than the Target sale price.

Well, that's why he manages at Meijer, he's obviously an idiot.

You have to remember that Meijer thinks that they run the retail world, when in reality nothing could be further from the truth. They rank even lower than WM on my scale of subhuman retail vermin, as G. Carlin said: "lower than a snake's ballbag". Screw Meijer. At least most of the drones at WalMart have the common sense not to presume that they are better than their customers. They still suck, but at least they tend to display some humility.

It amazes me that I even have to mention the irony involved in a 20yr-old stock-boy looking down his nose at a college grad who makes six digits...

Got my Botcon confirmation letter yesterday!!

Make sure to hold onto the forms... you need to bring them with you, so you have proof of what you ordered, and when your package pickup is!

Stupid 20 year old kid... Probably wants it to be Power Rangers or something...

Ouch, Power Rangers, that's harsh. Lets cut the kid some slack guys, I mean, realistically, he probably can't count to 6

Yeah, put it on your packing list, make sure it's with your spending money, deodorant, or underwear...something you won't forget!

Yeah, the only reason I went there was cause I have a card good for this month that gives you $10 back for ever $50 purchase. Leader class figs are $50 there so I woulda got Prime for $40. Then the next day while at Target getting a price adjustment on RV Prime and picking up Barricade on sale I scanned leader Prime and it was $40.85. So I figured, screw Meijer and got it at Target.

Soooo, maybe I should duct-tape it to RC13 when he gets back, lord knows he won't let me forget to pack him in the car

tape it to the roof of the car(whichever one we're taking) I don't think I'll need to be packed in the car.. I think I'll be sitting in it waiting for you to get out of work. really sucks that I'm flying home the same day I leave for botcon. thank goodness I'm, one, flying home from a trip in the eastern time zone, and two.. have enough time to do laundry

this made me laugh my ass off. this is a preview of a family guy/star wars parody that is going to be on next season

Just curious if someone might know this for sure, I may have overlooked a thread posted earlier or something.

There's supposed to be a Voyager Prime right? Is that the same as the robo vision Prime Target is selling?

It's the exact same mold with duller paint and less "flame" paint apps.

Went out to the Okemos Target to get my reciept from last Saturday adjusted. I picked up the only leader class Megatron there.

I also stopped by the Eastwood Wal-Mart and found Limited Edition (Wal-Mart Exclusive?) Marvel Legends Silver Surfers. I picked up 2 of them.

I've only picked up Ironhide, earlier, and blackout. I saw robovision and passed, he's way to skinny. After this week, I should have some more money, since my grandparents give me a hundred dollars for making honor role all year, I don't know why. Other than that, got my botcon confirmation letter. I made the tour and movie. Also, I was really looking forward to Fantastic Four 2, but am now dreading seeing it as it only got a PG rating , the original was bad enough and Pg-13, how is this going to be good at all?

GRATS! Glad you finally found one!

Yeah, I was pretty suprised to see him. I was expecting to see a bunch of leader class Optimus Primes (which I did too). The package is a bit damaged but that's okay, Megatron wanted to be freed from his plastic prison anyway!

well, I just preordered the McQuarrie concept Artoo and Threepio from StarWarsShop.com. they were a celebration IV exclusive. They are pretty cool figures. RebelScum.com has a nice gallery of them. anyone else going for those?

I picked up a set on eBay a few days ago. I also snagged the concept Luke Skywalker.
