well, we've got two weeks to figure that out. usually PQP or someone else gets a table. if no one is getting a table, it would still be cool to meet up, since TT and Victor are the only ones of you guys I've met.

I was looking through remy's gallery of MP Megatron at tfkenkon.com. There just something not right about this picture.

It's like Deliverance with Transformers.

My girlfriend rules!

She called and talked to the managers of several WalMarts and the one in Jackson had 20 Devastators in the back, the manager had a case pulled and I bought 2! They were 5 to a case.

I also found a Concept Stormtrooper! Trifecta!

Target on Ford Rd. (in Canton) has the ORDER 66 SW two packs and of course the LOC 4 pack. Bought neither.

Did get my BBTS order of WW Sunstorm, WW Magnus, Protoform Movie Prime, and Protoform MOvie Starscream...

Congrats on the haul, and great gf Kranix! You ought to marry that girl!

That Target was wiped out of the Order 66 2 packs except for Palpatine and Windu. Sorry.

No problem on the order 66 packs. I'll keep looking. JTKranix, do you still want the stormtrooper I have?

Sure unless someone else wants one and doesn't have one.

EDIT: I know someone was looking for Classic Starscream but I don't remember who. The WalMart in Charlotte had 2 of them on clearance ($8.00 each).

EDIT x2: It was Rodimus_Lantern. I sent him a PM.

Well, I was really hoping to hear from BBTS that my MP Megatron was ready to ship... but I don't think I'll hear from them today. If I wasn't going out of town next week, it wouldn't bug me so much.

There was a woman at Canton target last night looking at star wars toys. she bought all the clones they had.. luckily I had grabbed one I wanted. When I went back to grab a duplicate of it, she had them all!!! If she is buying them for herself, I wouldn't mind getting her phone number.. if she was buying them for someone else... share the wealth!!! :grin:

My girlfriend heard back from the manager of one of the other WalMarts she called last night. The manager said they were instructed to start sending back any unopened cases of Transformers so they could start getting movie stock in.

Summed up it means if Devastator isn't on the shelves you won't be getting one unless you order it online or get ahold of a manager soon.

well, good bye to rumble and ravage then... that doesn't make any sense at all. Maybe that would explain why a restock at the canton wal-mart is like being an eye witness to a supernova. why put it out.. it's less work if we just wait to send it back. I would think that Walmart corporate would let the stores know that what is in the boxes is new and should be put out. pull the other stuff off the shelves to make room... weird.

Blame Spider-Man 3, that's what the manager did.

I found the darth vader order 66 two pack at the carpenter road target. turns out, I've found all of them there

nothing else new. I did get my rumble today. he's pretty cool. just the wrong color. he should be blue :grin:

I also picked up the DC Direct Batman Beyond figure along with my comics.

I think this weekend I am going to hunt for the movie preview Optimus Prime and Starscream.

As of now I pretty much have everything current which makes me happy and sad

yeah, part of the fun is the hunt. it can also be really frustrating :grin:

I live for the hunt

I'm trying to think of things for my girl and I to do this weekend because there isn't really anything to hunt for now

For some reason I picture a couple (Bonnie and Clyde), who after scoring loads of rare toys at retail, start getting it on in their car.

I have no idea why that popped in my head after the two statements you guys made.

Sorry JT, no offense meant. :oops:
