Did anyone else get in originally without having to sweat out the drawing?

Yeah,...my wife and I got in without having to sweat it, well, at least we didn't have to sweat it once we had our confirmation letters.

The only voice changers I see around are the fake Cullen ones. I need to find one that says 'movie phrases'.

Pete Watson is actually my real name. See, I shoplift so much that I have to keep moving. I've actually had 4 plastic surgeries, as well as several complete personality overhauls, in order to keep the feds off my back. You got me.

TT, I have found some Voice Changers in the newer packaging, but still with Cullen's voice. You just have to test them, the knockoff voice is very different and much higher-pitched than Cullen's. You'll be able to tell, trust me.

Thanks Pete, I'll keep my eyes and ears open...

Sweet!!

Hey! Do you think when we get there, we'll be standing outside the gates and some dude with a cane will hobble out and fall down.

Then, once inside, if we touch anything, a bunch of Decepti-drones will come and sing us a song as they escort us out of the factory

*Sing it*
Octane, Prowl, Optimus too
I have an energon goodie for you
Overdrive, Powerglide, and Wheelie
If you are wise you’ll listen to me

What do you get when you buy too many toys
Obsessing as much as a Jawa steals droids
Blaming yourself is a crying shame
You know exactly who’s to blame

Hasbro and Takaaaaara

damn.. if that is the case, I'm going to bummed. I haven't been on a good psychadellic boat ride since the Smurf ride at Kings Island.

well, I did some rearranging in my toyroom. I took pretty much all of my marvel legends down and put them away.. they may come out again one day.. or they may be sold, I don't know yet. They just aren't all that exciting for me anymore. I took that space and moved all of my Primes over there. I had run out of room where I had put my primes. then I put up my movie toys. the more I look at them and pose them, the more I like them. I think Bonecrusher is cool. I'm super impressed by leader Prime. can't wait to get robovision.

There's no emoticon that comes close to displaying just how I feel about this song...

By Coyote's tail! You made me laugh so hard I damn near blew pop out my nose.

On another note. Firefox puked big time and I lost all my saved links. It was quite annoying.

Do you have the newest version, 'cause mines been acting funny too, and I do not want to lose all my saved links...

Yeah I have the newest version but what you want to do is save your links to somewhere that way if you lose em you have em. My only backup was on a disc I can't read.

Great, count me in as well. I thought it was just my desk top acting up, so I've been using the lap top more.

Sorry you lost your links D-B, let this be a lesson to the rest of us with the newest Firefox

if firefox did the old revert to 'new' default user, your links are still there but a little buried. do a little googling on it and you should be able to recover them. firefox caches old bookmark links in the depths of its guts.

well, I don't have to work today.. I got in and there was no information for my next site, so I didnt have anything to do. I took the day off. I stopped at a few places on the way back. I found leader megatron at the Kmart on washtenaw. same price as target. He's mine now. didn't see anything else of notice. the AA TRU has some of the new DC superheroes batman figures. well, off to open Megatron.

Lucky bastich. We were slammed this morning, but dead this afternoon.

I hate slow afternoons.

Thanks for hanging out yesterday, and congrats on the Megatron! (I'm still thinking about that burger...mmmmmm.)

you know.. I was a little put off by leader megs at first. but since I have played with him a bit I am really fond of the figure. I am glad I snagged him when I did as he seems to run short in some areas.

I have both leader Prime and Megs...I have not yet opened either of them...I plan to but I have not been feeling well so I just didnt get to it yet, anyway. I was thinking about keeping Megs in box, but think I could get some good prime-Megatron setups...

SO is megs really worth taking out of the box...he does display fairly nicely in the box....

Metrodome Transformers The Movie Ultimate Edition showed up today from amazon.co.uk and damn so far it is amazing.

I thought the Reconstructed and Sony versions looked good. This looks even better.

Well the next shipment of the Wal-Mart Exclusive 5 pack showed up today. Damaged per-usual. It's going back tonight. Eventually I'll get a good one, wonder how much shipping they are going to eat...so far the total is at almost $16.

Next Day Air + Refund for S&H = pwnage of Wal-Mart.

Oh, I also filed a complaint with their corporate office against 6 of the local stores because employees were being rude when we would call ahead to see if they had stock. We would provide them with the UPC or Wal-Mart number and sometimes they would flat out refuse to check. I'm willing to drive to Howell, Grand Rapids, Flint, even Fort Wayne, IN to get some of this exclusive stuff that isn't available online and I'm not driving hours for nothing.

The lady from corporate even did a secret con-call with us to the Livonia, MI store. Managers have been calling us for the last two days kissing ass.

Maybe they might get their act together, maybe we will finally see good distrubtion of these exclusives. Shrug.

is wal-mart shipping the toys in packing boxes too small for the item? I can't believe they'd come that damaged.

wal-mart does suck ass.

The last one had a big enough box but it looked like someone stomped on the 5 pack before placing it in the box.

I don't want you guys to think we are being asses about the calling ahead thing either.

We have done it enough times it's almost scripted.

We call and explain that we are from Lansing and none of the stores in our area have and would like to know if their store has it. We offer the UPC or Wal-Mart number to make it easier.

It's something that should take no more than a few minutes. We have all the information before hand. We just need to verify stock before we drive 3-4+ hours round trip to pick something up.

I don't mind traveling to get stuff, it's fun but if they don't have anything I want why travel there?

Shrug.

Stupid Walmart.

Just booked my flight and hotel package for Providence!! Two-and-a-half weeks!!!

I'm getting geeked, can't you tell?

well hopefully things will get a little better when walmart finally implements the site to store feature that has shipping to the store of your choice for 99 cents. that way you can have a look at the product and reject it there. 99 cents in gas is like flooring your car these days for a couple of seconds.

Next time you plan a road trip lemme know, I may tag along!

I have no patience for rude employees. I will put the manager smackdown on them fairly quickly, depending on how bad they pissed me off.


On another note. WE NEED OUR OWN FORUM!!!!

Here is something I have been sketching out for no apparent reason other than the fact that I like Clone Troopers.

nice! I like it
