oh, good. I was a bit concerned. I figured you probably weren't too upset.

Arrghghgh... I knew this would happen. Masterpeice Megs is in at BBTS. I won't get him before I leave for Stanwood, WA next week. :sad: Well, it'll be a nice gift when I get back.

SW Order 66 Packs at Target on Haggerty between 7 mile and 8 mile (Northville). They had bunches!

NO McQuarrie troopers yet. You guys must be buying them all up for each other. :-(

Let me know if you want it, TT. It's just sitting on my table.

I'm tempted to buy a couple more mace windu order 66 packs. I like that galactic marine better than the TAC(30th Anniversary Collection) one. Also, the clones that come with obiwan and yoda are pretty generic as well... I'm spending too much on clones. Need to spend the money on a shelf for the clones. :grin:

Okay, first time I have seen the Order 66 packs at Target was tonight. I picked up 1, 2, 4 and 6. I need 3 and 5.

Anyone see these laying around?

Thanks!

EDIT: I also found a ton of those Legends of Cybertron 4 packs at Target on West Saginaw and Edgewood in Lansing. I also saw an Autobot Whirl LoC (in pretty rough shape) at WalGreens at Cedar & Jolly in Lansing.

None of the other Lansing area WalGreens have the wave 2 "classic" LoC's.

which ones are 3 and 5? they are probably at the canton target. I think they had about 2 of each.. although they sell really fast, so I don't know how much longer they'll be there.

No clue which ones they are. The packages say 1 of 6 or 2 of 6, .etc

EDIT: rebelscum.com rocks. They are (3) Darth Vader and Commander Bow, (5) Anakin Skywalker and Airborne Trooper.

I did get a new bookshelf for my toyroom today. got it put together and have all of my clones on the top. looks really cool. I have Vader that came with the Order 66 pack leading them. Has anyone else seen the wal-mart exclusive 2 pack that has the two clones on barc speeders? I saw a bunch, and picked up one, when I was in Rhinelander, but haven't seen them anywhere else. what's up with wal-mart not distributing their exclusives well enough?? :?

I saw a ton of them in Grand Rapids a few weeks back. I think I might pick up a set too. I'm starting to become a StarWars addict too and the sad thing is I knew this would happen once I started picking up the coin figures.

Damn the man. At least Transformers is done for awhile so I don't mind spending the extra cash on StarWars so much.

Woot!

To those that haven't had a chance to pick up some of the cooler Energon stock, at the Family Dollar in Eaton Rapids, there were quite a few Energon Arcee's (I picked up 2), Insecticons, Doomlocks, and Strongarms. A friend of mine picked up Aerialbot limbs there as well, but I didn't see any on my visit today. If anyone is looking for anything in particular, let me know and I will keep an eye out.

And I just have to say...

Any Walmarts in the Detroit area carrying any of the TF exclusives?

Also, did Boon and PQP drop off the face of the Earth? Haven't seen them around in awhile.

I don't think the walmarts in the detroit area are carrying any exclusives.. except for that one black costume spidey figure I saw a few weeks ago.. go figure.

Wow I feel missed. :P

Been busy, rather swamped actually. Same with noob. We haven't been able to talk much lately.

So I just faxed in my Botcon application, Primus Package!! Once I get confirmation, I'll book my flight.

I'm really getting into the DC Heroes figures lately, I just opened Steel last night, he's probably my favorite...totally worth it. Boon I think I want that Supergirl back!! :-x (kidding) Just keep an eye out for me please, still need Supergirl(the blond one with the blue outfit), Robin, and Cyborg Superman. Peeves me off that I have seen all of those fiures at least once, yet I didn't bite. Now I want them...grr.

Happy Friday.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

Rijie Seeking:

Botcon 2009--Souvenir Sweeps
Botcon 2010--Souvenirs Rapido, Scorch/Shattered Glass Ravage


MISP preferred, but will consider opened NM/Complete, especially for older figures. Lots of TFs for trade! Please PM any inquiries, serious interest only!

Nope I'm enjoying buying a few things from there and not having any shipping added, due to the pile I have sitting. Plus, I already have a Megs at home, so I'm in no hurry to see one with an ugly orange plug. :P [/img]

The plug doesn't look to bad to me. I was just curious if it came out easily. hopefully so, but if not, it's not that glaring. I guess I will find out when I get back from stanwood. or when tfpredaking gets his. whichever is sooner.
