Definitely check out the video tfpredaking posted. It's really cool. I faxed in my botcon registration for a primus package. It was pointed out to me that if I signed up for the collectors club I'd save 10 bucks. so I did that too. Now I need to find a cheap hotel in Providence.

JT... I found the Darth Vader Order 66 pack. I picked one up for you. No Anakin at the canton target. Let me know if you still need it.

What city is the Canton Target in? Or is Canton a city?

My girl showed up tonight with the other two Order 66 packs I needed so I guess I don't need the one you picked up. Thanks for picking it up man, I really appreciate it!

TT, by all means please buy it :) I have one already and I'd rather see it go to someone who doesn't have one than another one for me to put in my closet of doom :)

She is such a keeper. I don't know how she pulls it off, I can look and look and look for stuff and not find anything and then BAM! she found it.

The Concept Stormtrooper I got the other night, I didn't even see it - she found it. I don't even bother hunting if she's not with me :)

I have been thinking about just pre-ordering the wave sets from BBTS. It's a bit more expensive than buying them retail but after all the trouble of finding one Concept Stormtrooper and rarely seeing anything other than Obiwan or R2 I think it might be worth it.

Walgreens in Jackson had Classics LoC Whirl and Jetfire, they are still there. The packages were kind of damaged.

WalMart in Jackson had a couple more Blob series ML's out, Jean Grey and Xeon. They also had the new wave of Star Wars Transformers.

WalMart in Lansing at Eastwood and W. Saginaw didn't have anything.

TRU in Jackson had 1 30th StarWars Biggs but it was really damaged so I left it. They also had 5 Mortal Kombat Noobs (4 left now).

TRU in Ann Arbor had 3 Mortal Kombat Noobs and 2 silly Transformers bags (see picture). They had Energon Cube candy too :)

WalMart in Howell had 4x Alt. Ravage/Rumble.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Ann Arbor has the Movie Toys but they won't sell them. I heard a guy in Jackson who I assume was a former TRU employee talking to the manager and the manager told him he would have to go to AA to get the movie toys cause they didn't have any in Jackson.

We talked to the manager at the AA TRU and was told they had them but couldn't sell them.

EDIT 2: I forgot, the Target in Ypsilanti had multiples of every Order 66 set.

Ooh. How much were those bags? Would it be correct to say, based on that photo, that they're about the size of a Voyager Class box? I might have to get me one of those.

Yeah, a bit bigger than a voyager class box. The were pretty cheap, like $5.99. They had 2 or 3 of them.

well, I'm out in Arlington, WA. that's north of Seattle. I found a TRU and a target north of seattle. nothing to report. there's a super walmart and a target near my hotel. No ravages, but I did find the DC superhero blue Supergirl. most places only had moff jerjerrod in terms of star wars figures. I'll keep checking the walmart near me for ravage. I'll probably ask someone the next time I'm in. they had a bunch of the devastator packs.. but that's not something I'm interested in. well, I have no idea what time it is... but my room has a dvd player, so I'll probably pop in a disc and watch tv.

I'm going to drive up to a wal-mart in mt. vernon, WA and see if they have a ravage. it's only about 14 miles away... and besides.. what else am I going to do. hopefully I will find something.

If you don't have a Ravage by the time I get back to Howell this week I'll pick one up for you man. I had no idea you needed one when I saw them :(

oh, no problem.. I didn't really know if I wanted one until I saw tfpredaking's. Besides, when I'm out on a business trip.. there's not much else but the hunt. :grin:

I'll let you know if I don't find one though.. thanks!

I just wish I was home for MP Megatron's arrival tomorrow. :(

I checked out TRU Livonia to see about movie figures (highly unlikely I know, but they seem like the kind of place that would put them out by mistake.) No dice, of course. I did notice the new McFarlane Hockey figures are out. If anyone happens to see the Henrik Zetterberg figure, could you please pick it up for me or hide it and let me know (he's the Red Wing.) Thanks!
