That's a very nice toy store inventory you're building there. As far as additions, completing the TFC book series, even though the Encore Prime will be cheaper. In Energon, I'm partial to the pre-Classics homages, like Downshift, Rodimus, Shockblast, Tow Line & Beachcomber (who I'm still looking for.) Also Arcee though I'm not a huge fan. In Armada, I like Starscream, Prime, and most of the minicons, especially the combiners like Star Saber. And of course you can't go wrong with completing your Alt. collection, especially with the MIB/MISB collection

well, I'm totally satisfied with the Botcon exclusive set. the seekers rock and bugbite and dreadwind are very cool for their uniqueness. There will be complaints about the colors on dreadwind, I'm sure. But I'm pretty sure the original was probably close to the same colors. Now, what is going to be the secret figure that only those of us getting the primus package get? and hopefully Alpha Trion will be real and not super expensive.. cos that one is really cool too.

I can't agree more. All of your statements are correct including about color... .

Thanks! I was actually thinking more along the lines of content to add to the list/site.

I made some changes to the Transformers one and added a Star Wars one. The Star Wars list isn't nearly complete though.

Oh and I moved it to http://www.aboleth.net/kranix/toys/

well, I finished up early in Nantucket, so I'm flying home today. will be very glad to be home. I can actually see spidey 3 tonight!

So I got this huge BBTS order today, highlights include:

Nikemus Prime
MegaNike

(I love the shoe guys, they are really cool, and yes, I suggest even you doubters get a pair.)

Masterpiece Megatron sans plug (probably just sell it since I have a non-plugged version already)

Revoltech Megatron--much better than Rev. Prime, and Rev. 'Little Prime' Magnus, but I really dislike his face, and neck.

SW V-Wing-- I love this space ship... it's the coolest, and I had to get it, I could not wait to find it in stores.

Then there were some random loose cobra/gi joe action figures, the 'Pigs in Space Playset' (hey, I love the Muppets...), Adventure Kermit (see previous statement, and add 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' to it), Viper Pit Pack (6 cobra vipers made from the Spy Troops mold...my Terrordrome needs troops!!)...

Much of this was bought in their sales, which did save me a bundle...

Better news...my japanese Transformers G1 exclusives from Seibertron member Atreyu have arrived, and they are waiting for me to pick them up at the post office tomorrow morning. You can bet I will be first in line!!!

It's like Christmas, Botcon, and my birthday all rolled into one...I'm giddy!

TT I am willing to take that MP Megatron off your hands, if you decide to sell it. Enjoy your G1 haul, can't wait to see everything!

WalMart in Howell had a Han, Luke and Death Star Trooper from the Star Wars 30th Anniversary line last night. I left them because I already had them

I did pick up Comic Pack #03 from there and I found a DC Super Heroes Steel at the Howell Meijer.

I found a McQuarrie Boba Fett at Target on Ford Rd. They also had teh Han, and Luke from that new wave as well.

I also got my big Japanese G1 order from Atreyu, all mint in box complete, except Swoop--just minty and complete...

-Countdown and the Rescue Patrol
-MM Autobot Battle Patrol
-MM Space combiner set (shuttle, rocket launcher truck)
-MM Decepticon Battle Partrol
-Go Shooter (white Siren)
-MM Rabbibrater (MM from Zone, repainted Skystalker, comes with video of the only show aired)
-Dai Atlas (Now combined with Roadfire, and Sonic Bomber to create...BIG POWERED!!)
-Black Zarak...gold pieces are all good, except Fasttrack's feet, the connector for the toes is broken...
-Pretender Metalhawk
-Dino cassette Graffi

I think that was all...fun times today.

Pistons game tonight!!! I'll be there!

I had a good run in Jackson today.

I picked up the Transformers Movie 2007 comforter from Kmart and I got 2x Blob Series Thor's from the WalMart.

They still had pretty much 2x of every other character in the Blob series there.

was at the macomb mall tonight and went to steve and barrys and found several TF tshirts. i bought a TF animated movie tshirt along with 2shirts with marvel comic covers on them. all for $20. and abunch of pants. at hot topic i got a grindhouse "planet terror" shirt. and i finnally saw the movie ghost rider. it kicked ass

I picked up 4x Transformers Movie 2007 pillow cases at the Ionia Kmart

If anyone sees an Episode II tin in good shape could you shoot me a PM?

Thanks!

Thanks, I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting for it...

And paying, and paying, and paying for it...

Just got back from Spiderman 3, I quite liked it. Some unexpected twists, great action, and Venom! I laughed alot...Bruce Campbell's scene and evil Peter were cheesy enough to warrant several belly chuckles. It's a bit fast paced at times, and alittle hard to keep up with all of the character's changing emotional states. There were a few action sequences that actually made my heart jump, and I don't experience that too often anymore.

I'd write some complaints but I don't want to spoil right now. But it's so worth it. Even the $13 I spent on refreshment.

I've now seen spider-man 3 twice.. I really like it. I went to the canton target today.. no boba fetts. but I did find a death star trooper. I picked that up for tfpredaking. there were still two lukes and a han left.

haha. i attended a wedding in battle creek over the weekend and *almost* stopped by at the jackson walmart on my way home to check things out. then i would have been sad that there were no thors

does that one still have any alts?

the walmart in battle creek had HML2 all except thor (go figure), a bunch of SW30th, all except concept guys, and no alts. they did have the constructicons though.

I'm debating on whether or not to buy alt ravage from BBTS... I know once I do, someone will find one in retail I don't know yet. I should just save my money for botcon and get some of the more obscure stuff I've been wanting.. Like that worlds smallest Magnus with transforming diaclone coloured trailer. It was $80.. that's kind of a lot for a worlds smallest, but if you compare it to what I paid for a full size diaclone magnus.. it's about right But, that would also depend on if Genghis Kahn and the Flying Yakuza's have that one again...(I actually don't know the names of the guys. They come over from Japan every year and sell some stuff at insanely low prices. One of the guys looks exactly like Genghis Kahn in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure... the name kinda evolved from there )

take one for the team rc-13
you buy it and all of a sudden it'll pop up in michigan everywhere. seems like the only place it really hit was that walmart in jackson.

WalMart in Howell too but they didn't have any on the shelves Friday night

man, i thought that walmart was dry, so it did hit there too then? dang. when was the last sighting jtk?

noob wrote:man, i thought that walmart was dry, so it did hit there too then? dang. when was the last sighting jtk?

On 04-15-07 they had 4x of each on the shelves, which would have been one complete case. I have no idea if they have more or had more.

Jackson WalMart never put out all of their stock. I hit that place once a week and I have only seen 2x of each actually out (my guess is it was the rest of the case I opened).

were there any when you picked up thor over the weekend?
rc13 is jonesing for some hunting

noob wrote:were there any when you picked up thor over the weekend?

Nope. I haven't seen an Alt. Rumble or Ravage on the shelves in several weeks

They might have them in the back though.
