Postponed, it's not that cold is it???

About 37 with 30-40mph wind gusts and snow flurries.

PERFECT!

Well, still no Alts/Classics Devastator at the Taylor-Tucky WM. God I hate that store, their shelves can be empty for a month and they will still be the last store in the country to put them out...

On a more positive note I did find a DCH Mongul for noob.

And yes, it is far too cold out there. Brrr.

ah mongul, you can make pink look so good.

Well, work is slow, so I thought that I would post pics of the upcoming GI Joe(no longer referred to as Sigma 6) assortment(Kung Fu Grip Soldiers/Adventure Teams):

I'm loving the entire Soldier assortment, but the only Adventure Team set that I really want is Storm Shadow with that cool tiger. Recondo looks...weird. Snake Eyes looks boring.

Can't wait to see Flint, etc.

LMAO, you got me.

I just spent way more money than I should have.

I ordered MP-05 from robotkingdom.com and I faxed in my Botcon registration for the Iacon package.

yeah, those look hit or miss. Who would win in a fight: Timber or the giant Tiger? I'm still very excited about the 25th anniversary line, but it looks like 10 out the 25 figs will be either Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, & Corba Commander, which is alittle disappointing.

I would like to see a sigma six cobra soldier... I think that would be cool. I'm going to head to the rhinelander wal-mart soon. maybe there will finally be some alts.. but with the way my day has taken an abrupt turn.. there probably won't be. I'm so glad I'm only here one more day. I want to go HOME!!!!!! my company is pissing me off. I'm now going to be on the road 6 out of 9 weeks.. gonna totally miss the comic con grrrr.

If they do Firefly, I will be happy...

It seems they are repainting the cobra soldier mold quite a bit too...

For anybody who didn't get one, the Kmart on Haggerty and Plymouth has Sigma Strike Duke for $5, yes $5. It's a very sweet figure, and that makes me sad that I bought it at the $20 price though... hopefully someone else can enjoy a $5 Sweet as heck Duke...

Marvel Legends Blob Series are out. I picked up the Ultimate Wolverine at the Jackson WalMart tonight. Looks like they put a single case of them out, everything else was there except She Hulk, Thor and now Wolverine.

well, my state tax return was deposited today. It was $93. I spent 92.44 of it on a MISB Black LioConvoy. the big one, not the robotmaster. I've been wanting to get that for a long time. I had an issue with my paypal account. Apparently I don't use it enough. Hopefully it won't cause a problem for the seller.
there was nothing new at the rhinelander walmart. Not a surprise. hopefully we'll start seeing the new alts everywhere soon.

Hopefully, yeah. I made the mistake of mentioning that I had found them in a Transformers thread on a non-TF related message board and my PM box got flooded with "can you pick up a set for me?" messages.

I got mine from BBTS, but I am curious about something Magnus. What license plate does Ravage have? Is it Great Britain? My Ravage had the tri-language box, which I assume is not the version they are using here in the states, so I was just curious.

Ours came from the same store, mine has the Ravage license plate so I assume his does as well.

Yes, the one I got does have the British style lisence plate and came in the normal US Alternators packaging.

Got my MAsterpiece Megatron (UNplugged) today. He is fantastic!! Very complicated transformation, and a very awesome bot mode!

(And now BBTS e-mails me that my pre-order is in for the 'plugged' version. Cancel or keep, cancel or keep?)

TT, there are pictures online at BBTS of the one with the plug.. really not that bad. where did you get your unplugged version from? also, did you get that small KO Fort Max? How is it? My last trip to the rhinelander wal-mart yeilded no alts. I did find another McQuarrie trooper. JTKranix, do you still need one? I picked it up. Can't wait to get back to michigan.

Well, I've bought from this guy on Ebay a few times, and he is becoming my 'plastic crack' dealer of choice for japanese/overseas items. Safe, secure, and fast shipping, and he e-mails me with his list of new things that one can pre-order. All the G1 high quality KO's have been offerend as well as this and the Ko WST Max. I'm thinking since I've already been charged by BBTS for it, I might as well take it, and maybe recoup some losses and not feel bad for selling it because it's capped, or just keep it as a testament to what needs to be done to things to keep collectors happy?

Megs is certainly worth having two of.

Anyway, I did get the KO WST Fort Maxs. I like them. At times you can be very impressed with him (accuracy/details), but then be disappointed because they could have just gone a little further and done so much more (Fort Max head comes off, but does not transform, there are no accessories--read no add on guns, no gasket/grommett, no sword). But he is on par with other higher end KO quality. Worth it to me!

Oh and BTW, I am now caught up on Star Wars Legacy novels, and eagerly await the next installment in June. I went back and bought a couple of books to tide me over that are referenced in LEGACY, or that sounded interesting. One about Han Solo dealing with Chewie's death, and another called 'Vector Prime' believe it or not.

I still have yet to see a McQuarrie figure at retail. I'm not asking anybody to pick any up, because I know as soon as I do, he'll show up right in front of my face. Patience, going to the West end of the state today, so I'll look around there a little.

Happy Easter all (for those who are inclined that way! )

behold!

I dig the Punching Pop's but for some reason I didn't like those.

Have you seen the Energon Cube candy anywhere?

Got my botcon confirmation the other day. I'm number 232. Still no sign of MP-5,though. I don't even know where he is. according to tracking, he left Hong Kong the 2nd, but they haven't updated since. I'm not too worried, because there have been no reports of them being taken by customs yet, just annoyed. This is the second time I've gotten bad service from USPS, the other time it took 3 weeks to get something from Quebec and, again, tracking was no help.
