A bit, but if done during a battle where he's whipping decepticons, or maybe Sam just turns that song up in the car and BUmblebee enjoys it. Maybe we'll see the front of the car curve into a smile with the headlights bumper and grill give the look of a very happy face, you know like in the show (used on this site for the "Before there was Carly" section).

I want one though. :sad:

Hey, if you happen across another one, call me. I'm still looking for one. Also, I finally opened my Titanium Soundwave. It looks very cool but i can't seem to get his legs to stay right. Lazerbeak is a nice bonus but kind of underwhelming. I'm interested to see the Ravage that's supposed to come with Titanium Soundblaster, though.

I found a cliffjumper up at the Ludington wal-mart. no ramjet.. It seems like they used lower quality plastic on cliffjumper. he's okay. probably will just call him red bumblebee. nothing else of note up here.

wait ... there is a devo action figure?

i don't know if they'll put anything like that with the changing shape of the grill in the show. that seems to be counter to the way that things are being shown at the moment.

Picked up a couple extra Ramjets at a Target in Northville/Livonia on Haggerty.

Still 2 CliffJumpers, Grimlocks, and Mirages there as well as a bunch of the Magnus/Skywarp two pack.

No new minicons yet though.

by **noob** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 8:51 pm

do they have 4 actual different figures, or swappable heads? wow.

tt, i've seen the new minicons at walmart, target and even meijer. meijer prices the highest at 7.99 a pop.

Hey guys long time no see. I have been all over looking for that Titanium Rodimus and Soundwave. You guys no of any in the Dearborn/Allen Park/Taylor area?

It comes with a total of five swappable heads. I have one and I keep thinking about buying four more whenever I get the chance. The figure was produced by NECA a few years ago and can still be found in most record stores that carry toys, I think. I just wish they'd do a couple more. I'd love to have them in the "Duty Now For The Future" outfits.

well, I didn't find any ramjets at canton target or walmart last night. man, mirage sure is a shelf warmer.. they must have put too many of him out. most places, that's all they have in terms of classics deluxes. has anyone seen any of the deluxes at a meijer yet? or actually, any classics except for minicons and the prime/megs two pack?

Mirage is awesome, he should not be swamping shelves...

Noob I don't need the new minicons, I already have them, I was just keeping an out for others.

by **noob** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 11:26 am

i think for a kid, mirage just looks too lanky. we can appreciate the posability and some character history, but otherwise to the casual observer, it's just a skinny blue car. the colours don't pop as much as bumblebee or rodimus.

i thought that astrotrain would be the shelfy. but i guess he was packed appropriately, 1 per case and so they've done a good job moving him. oh the whole classics seem to be selling pretty briskly save the optimus/megs 2 pack.

meijers seems to still be clearing out cybertron stuff, the last waves of deluxes and scouts.

TT just giving a heads up too!

GM what do you do with all those extra heads?

Nope. It's weird that certain chains seem to not be carrying certain lines.

noob wrote:GM what do you do with all those extra heads?

They are currently in my extra accessories drawer. It's a magical place full of heads and hands and ridiculous looking armor pieces.

by **noob** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 9:14 pm

especially meijers. they are carrying half of the line at the moment. hopefully they'll get their act together.

but extra armour pieces are awesome!

by **Rijie** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 8:50 am

Man it's nasty out there today...gave myself an hour to get to work and still was 10min late. Then of course someone just had to come in and get their oil changed and tires rotated(I'll never understand why they do that on days like this...we're open every morning and the guy just can't put it off for a day...), so of course I'm drenched and filthy already. :-x

On top of that I get a squeak-and-rattle concern, which I don't know how I'm going to diagnose, because I can't take the vehicle out and drive it with the roads being like they are. I swear, engineers are some of the most stupid smart people on the planet.

Anyway, not much to report, thanks to noob for the Reissue Soundwave, Pred Attack Minicons, Icons Wolverine, MK Ninjas Scorpion and Sub Zero, and Spiderman Classics Villians. You rule buddy, enjoy Cybertron Prime, Wing Saber, and Evac, and the Magnus/Skywarp set. :grin:

Stay safe and warm everyone.

PS--I'll get back to you soon, TT, I tried to write you the other day but the PM service was acting glitchy and I couldn't get it to post. Enjoy your snow day, bastich!

It's in my top ten list of reasons it is actually good to be a teacher.

Yeah, well, I had to shovel a damn driveway full of f'in snow, at least you didn't have to do that. There was a lot of snow out there and it was freezing!!!!

I got Titanium Fallen and Cheetor (from BBTS don't freak out anyone!). I have to say I like them both a lot.

Cheetor- Possibly the best Titanium to date. Very close to Rodimus Prime and TC for that spot. He has a great look to him in robot mode. If he had more joints he would be the best!!! He does make some cool sword wielding poses though. His transformation is simple, but his alt mode looks good, not great but good. The cool things are the little details that they put in. The swords are awesome (although rubbery plastic). He has these cool knee pad looking things which I think enhances his look a lot. I highly recommend him.

The Fallen- Well being mostly flat black does not help any TF in the details category, but he is a nice rendition of the character and likely the only one we will see. His alt mode is not horrible, it looks fairly menacing, but in flat black with a lot of flat sided pieces it does look like an interesting evil other worldly tank...

His robot mode, well you've seen it, not much going on details wise, head is cool, little flame windows for some added color. Overall not very poseable, and his wings which give him the 'flame' ambience/aura are very loose and come off very easily. He might be better without them in robot mode, but of course he needs them to form the side of the tank treads in tank mode.

Other than that nothing new. I have some more roadbots on the way. I have to see how big the 1/12 scale is, so I bought the yellow Ford GT and will slap some Autobot stickers on him and call him Tigertracks!! If I could find a cool rally looking sticker set with '24' on it for the doors that would rock the hizz-ouse. No I don't think Jeff Gordon's colors would work really well... not really the style of number I wanted either.

Besides him, I ordered the Hummer H2 maybe he could make a good Brawn?? And then I ordered the blue Subaru pimped version (I mean Tuner), and I think I'll put some D-con symbols on him and call him Thundercracker. He has a winged look in robot mode... to me anyway.

Finally I already have the green Lambo. Think I'll slap some Autobot stickers on him and make him Springer. Now if I could just find a cool sword to give him...guess that doesn' matter as I leave him in the car mode the whole time anyway!!

Happy Valentine's Day you all!!! Stay warm!

Yes, TT.. snowdays are a great thing about being a teacher.. although, I think I only had 2 or 3 in the two years I taught. the roads were crap this morning.. I hate 94. Haven't found anything new lately. I did see some titanium soundwaves at Belleville wal-mart on monday night. I still need a Ramjet. After that, I'll be caught up on TFs until the movie toys start hitting. wish there were more classics out there

Hope everyone has a good and safe drive day!

Walmart on Ford Rd had a pretty good toy stock this morning.

All the new Wave 2 minicon teams, most of the Annihulus wave of MLs, Mirage Wave Classic deluxes...

I picked up a SW comic two pack (Tarkin and Stormtrooper).

Rodimus I have an extra Ramjet MISP if you need him. PM me for where and when.

by **noob** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 3:33 pm

you know, i was honestly expecting alot more snow than what we got. i intentionally stayed in the morning to avoid all the mushy traffic which was a good plan, even when i have a short commute.

what i always find amusing on high snowfall days is the anarchy that occurs in parking lots. OMG no lines! just park anywhere!

pqp:- wow when you list out all the stuff we exchanged ... that's a lot. btw i've got your sf exclusive guile on the way now too.

tt:- when you get all the roadbots together and nicely modded could you post some pics of them with their little alternator brothers?

I just wanted to say hi. I haven't bought anything new recently but I feel left out

News Credits: 1082 · by **Tigertrack** » Wed Feb 14, 2007 4:18 pm

Noob, we'll see about the pic, I'm not really good with a cam, don't have a good quality one yet (can you believe it?).

Still if they look cool enough, I'll snap some shots...

Well, I did go out driving a bit after recovering from the shoveling workout... It was messy around here. Got the Mustang some fun little workouts with sliding around, and testing the traction control...

At least it was sunny today, and my wife and I both had the day off to spend together for at least part of Valentine's Day!

Now to build my LEGO Star Wars Imperial Landing Craft!!!
