TRU hasn't marked down ANYTHING! i did pick up an extra RID prime if anybody needs one.

nice pickup on the batgirl 2 pack. batgirl is pretty cool in that line.

lost of everything everywhere transformers wise :)

if someone finds a $10 cybertron metroplex, i'd take one!!

I am looking for a new RID Prime and RID Magnus if you happen to have them.

welcome to the thread Drive By.

My 6" titanium fallen, G1 Magnus and War Within Megatron are in at BBTS. Once I can, I'll ship my loot!

had I known they were coming in, I probably wouldn't have bought that lego star destroyer last night... but its so cool. If anyone likes building legos. I recommend getting it. it takes forever to put it together and it's pretty intricate.

Hey and welcome to the thread, Drive-by! Another Lansing person!

I've been sorely tempted to pick up the classics Magnus/Skywarp two pack. I'm kind of hesitant just b/c of them being repaints though. Help! :sad:

What's this I'm hearing about discount prices at some of the stores?

Skywarp is awesome. UM isn't bad either, I rather dig him.

Howell WalMart had an unopened box of 6" Titaniums waiting to be stocked last night, no idea what was in the box but maybe some RiD Prime's and Starscreams. Might be worth looking into.

BBTS has my 6" G1 UM and 6" WWI Megatron shipping :)

Mine too!!! I can't wait. I hope UMagnus is at least as good as the Rodimus Prime re-imagining. And well, I don't think Megatron can get much worse than the forst version so....

Can't wait!

And Atreyu is shipping my japanese G1 TFs!!! :grin: A few weeks and they will be mine!!

For anyone interested the Target at 26 mile road and Van Dyke has mispriced it's Deluxe Classic toys today. Over a dozen Rodimus, Cliffjumper, Mirage and Ramjet toys marked for $7.89 each. They ring up as 9.89, but the store is honoring the $7.89 price if you call them on it when they ring it up. Or you can let them "overcharge" you can then they have to make up the difference, plus a $5 for ringing up the price wrong under Michigan state law. So I got my Ramjet today for $2.89. Should I feel bad? I did only get ONE, because I felt like buying more would be wrong.

*Prepares to get hit by many stones* Has anyone seen the Yu-Gi-Oh! Strike of Neos Special Edition packs? I need three of the shrink to support my other hobby besides transformers. A pic is in the attachments. Give me a holler if you see any. As for new sightings, Coldwater Meijer looked as if they put out some new alts. Nothing fancy, just some Meisters and a Sunstreaker, looked to be the remnants of an open case from the back.

It's been a good weekend so far, we went to Flint, Saginaw and Jackson today.

I picked up Universe Midnight Express, Swindle and Rapid Run at the KB in Flint.

I picked up the Star Wars 30th Anniversary (the ones with coins) 00 - Darth Vader, 04 - R2-D2 and 05 - Obi-Wan Kenobi at the Toys R Us in Flint. They didn't have any other ones. The Toys R Us in Saginaw and Jackson both had these as well.

In Jackson I picked up a ML Silver Anniversary Wolverine.

I also got my club exclusives Astrotrain and Air Razor (and GI Joe Operation MOTH Desert and Jungle Cobras). I have to say the Exclusives are really cool! Astrotrain is the better of the two, but Air Razor fits in perfectly with the Botcon set...

The boxes are super high quality, great for displaying!

Also anyone pick up the new tech deck Evolution Zoods MANGA (w/pet mouse 'CLICK')? Has a similarity to Devestator, colors, and on the back is listed as a 'Construction Worker', and his quote is 'I still function!'-- His favorite celebrity is Orson Welles!

Cool. I've been trying to find a pic, but all they have are the old version of MANGA.

Ebay has the only picture I could find...

I went to westland target, tRU and meijer.. didn't see much. I did see one of the silver marvel legend wolverines at TRU. I left it there. I did find a saga collection R2-D2 and R5-D4 at target. I picked them up(yes, now I seem to be collecting the astromech droids :shock: ) no 30th anniversary figures anywhere. can't wait to get my titaniums this week!

Westland = Novi?

I was there this afternoon and saw a dark blue/black car with a couple of Decepticon stickers on the windows. Was that you? :P

Not a thing in Novi or Ann Arbor yesterday :(

I also found a place in Jackson called the Toy House. They had a really good selection of Classics (Jetfire, Ramjet, CJ, .etc) along with some okay Cybertron stuff. Their prices are insane though. They want $28 for Alts, $26 for Classic Voyagers, $13 for Classic Deluxes, $10 for Classic Minicons, .etc
