Thanks!

Check Walmart on Ford Rd. and also on Middlebelt.

Both had 20 of him, and only him... no one else.

Wow, I'll have to pick him up on the way home then. Sounds like McFarlane is doing like the old school Starting Lineups w/ abundant home team availabilty.

Holy Crap!!!! I finally did it! I won an auction for a reissue Diaclone Magnus!!!!!!!!!! I've been trying to get one for over a year and always lose out cos the auction goes too high. This one stayed within my price range. I also got an email saying that they got my botcon registration. So, this is the last big spending before Botcon....

Congrats, I want to get that one eventually.

I got my confirmation on 04-12-07 and they still have not charged my CC. I remember reading someplace it was going to be several weeks before they billed the credit cards.

JT, are you going? or did you do the iacon package?

oh yeah.. is anyone going to xtravacon on sunday?

I'm finally going to make it to one..

RodimusConvoy13 wrote:JT, are you going? or did you do the iacon package?

I did the Iacon package. Botcon is during a bad time of year for me (this year). I'll be in the process of moving into a house where I can have a TOY ROOM!

Sweet.. having a toyroom is always a bonus. I moved into a two bedroom apt for the same purpose. just make sure it's big enough so you don't run out of room like someone I know

I was just looking around online... should I start looking for a shining gold magnus now? probably should wait awhile

I prefer the summer con to be truthful...fall's too busy for me!!

I got both e-mail and phone confirmations, and my wife and I get to take part in the customizing class again. Yee haw!!!

Made a few stops this evening.

WalMart in Okemos = Nothing.
WalMart in Lansing on W. Saginaw = Nothing.
Toys R Us in Okemos = 5 Mortal Kombat Noobs, nothing else.
Meijer in Grand Ledge = Nothing.
Meijer in Lansing on Pennsylvania = Nothing.

I kind of lied about the Meijer in Grand Ledge. They had one 10th Anniversary Rattrap on clearance for $7 so I bought him. I actually wouldn't mind picking up a 2nd set of those (minues Optimus Primal, Megatron and Cheetor since I bought a 2nd one a month or so ago).

If you guys happen to see any of the others on clearance could you let me know?

WalMart on W. Saginaw in Lansing had about 20 of them too.

I was wondering about something. After talking to Andrew at Lunch today I think that I am going to have to buy the Botcon set. Now heres the question.....

Does some want to go in my stead? What I mean is I pay for the Primus package and someone go in my place and bring the figures back? This could basically make it a free trip for a significant other or friend. Just figured I'd ask you guys.

Or...

Anyone want to split the cost of a hotel room. hahaha

You could get the Iacon package It's not any cheaper, other than you don't have to drive/fly there and pay for a hotel room, then spend massive amounts of $$$ on toys.

That's what I'll do if no one basically wants a free ticket to Botcon

Scratch all that I just found out I am getting laid off May 15th so I need to save my pennies. Any of you guys know of anyplace looking for IT interns? Or anything in Tech Services?

sorry you got laid off RL. that sucks.


went to the local TRU last night before work and found one titianium rodimus and 2 soundwaves. i picked up a soundwave and left the rest. no TF movie figures or the new ML figures though. still need a war within prime then i will have all the 6in titianium figures.

Oh Andrew and I saw the two of the New Yellowjackets at the KB Toys in Lincoln Park so check KB's out near you.

Damn that sucks man. I wish we had PACS and RIS up and running here or I'd interview you. I probably won't be able to justify another person for at least a year at this point

Sorry to hear it RL...I may actually be out of a job myself here soon. Nothing like uncertainty...

Not much going on lately, got my MP Megatron in the mail yesterday, I'm very happy with him, orange plug and all. Such a complex transformation too. Now I'm ready for Skywarp.

Still no WM Alts/Classics in the area for some reason...I'm beginning to think that we may not see them. For some reason, the stores are still getting shipments of Cybertron, which are now clogging shelves something terrible.

The Taylor WM did get in one case of Sigma 6 Soldiers(Firefly/Shipwreck, etc.)which are still there. I asked the woman about the Alts and she said that a their vendor was there looking for them yesterday, and they never got them. Of course, it could mean that whatever they got has been stolen by an employee, which is not so uncommon...I've come to find that the guy that runs the toy section there(when she is off) has a major racket going with the local comic book store owner. Sigh...

Oh, and the Allen Park Target has more of those SW Order 66 sets that you guys have been looking for, right up on an endcap by the cash register.

Haven't talked to Boon in awhile, I don't think that he likes me anymore. I've tried to call him twice over the past week, and he has yet to return my call. Either that or he is really swamped. You're figs are still waiting, buddy.

Happy Hunting all.

I got a reply to a PM I sent him last night, he said he has been really, really busy at work so at least he doesn't hate me
