One of these days I shall return to the Xtravacon. The last time I went with Todd, he dumped me out of his car on the way home in order to "Lighten the load" :P :P

I saw the 3pack with soundwave, the fallen and megs...at tru on telegraph across from the summit place in pontiac....there were 2 left. I don't know what it's called(actually it is Gathering at the nemesis) and I think it's new(and it is). Anyway, I'm not interested in it...but if someone is there you go.

Canton Wal-mart had a leader jetfire and a bunch of new deluxes. swerve, dead end, jolt, the helicopter, scorponok, arcee, etc....

no new universe exclusives though :-( The deluxes are still $10 and leaders are $35

My lady saw the first local Jetfire out by her house yesterday. Unfortunately one of the chest lights wasn't functional, so we're still waiting to get one.

No sightings to report, just wanted to let everyone know I'm now in my new house! It's been one hell of a long month...
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

So it turns out that Jetfire's supposed to have only one working chest light. Old n' crutchedy, and all that. Luckily the Meijer's still had him, so I picked him up today. It looked like someone had tried hiding him too, lol.


Getting so close to completing my RotF collection. Oh man.

Spotted one Long Haul voyager at the Ypsi Walmart. I was disappointed by how he looks... I had wanted to get it up until I saw it in person. Oh well, grabbed some of the RPM's instead because they're too adorable :P Found one set with Ironhide and Sideways the not-quite-an-R8, lol.

Long Haul is kinda stumpy in his robot mode, but I'm rather fond of the truck.

Congratulations!


Kmart on Plymouth Rd. has the Legends Exclusive 4-pack repaints. I didn't buy it, but I may ask for it for X-mas. Spinister in it and all.

I forgot to post this last night. Belleville walmart has a ton of newer deluxes. I even saw two sets of ice cream twins. I got really excited for second, but then realized the universe box I saw was Stormcloud and not the new Powerglide :( they had a ton of leader Primes, but no Megs or Jetfire.

I know this is just the sightings thread, but it's really the only one I go to and I thought you chaps might enjoy these:

My collection thus far:
Image
Plus Jetfire, who took me a really long time to get into vehicle mode and naturally won't fit on the shelf:
Image
And just because I love my camera: Image



Enjoy!
I guess that's not my entire collection, as I do have a few from the universe line and the G1 Optimus re-release. That's the entirety of movie line, I guess.

This thread was started by a group of friends who live in Michigan who wanted to talk and share Transformers. It got moved into the sightings thread because that's where we were moving all such regional talk threads.

So sharing more than sightings is absolutely fine...

Found the Gathering at Nemesis set at the Dearborn TRU, as well as HA Skids, there were one of each left. They also had the new Animated Activators, Soundwave and Grimlock, two of each. I also saw a DCUC Vigilante, and a new ML 2-pack, Skrull and Kree Soldiers, there was just one of those.

Feels good to do alittle hunting again, I just hope that the WM Exclusives are out this weekend, like they are supposed to be. Happy Hunting!

Found Arcee at Clawson Wal-Mart. Last one, that I could see.
Their TF section was a wreck when we got there, it looked like someone had put a Clone Wars box in the middle and detonated it. Lots of stuff though. There were some of the exclusive Starscream repaints, plus lots of the newer Deluxes including Swerve, Thrust and Gears. An Ejector too.

And! A rare find: The '07 Premium edition Megatron. I'd eyeballed this back when it came out, but didn't feel like throwing down another $50 for a figure I already had. This was marked for $30, and based on the condition of the box I'm guessing it was hidden way back in their stock room and somebody found it.

Which reminds me, the leader Optimus and Jetfires they had were $33. Just got my Jetfire for $45 at Meijer, but whatever.


Until Leader Starscream, Flare-Up and the remaining HA figures come out, I think I've got every in-movie character out there. Grindor is a glorified re-paint, he doesn't count. =P
So, w00t.

I posted this over at "buy/sell/trade," but it might work better locally....anyway, if your interested I'd like to find a new home for these guys...I just don't have a strong attachment to any of them.

Countdown(universe)(100%, with back of box)

Skywarp/thundercracker encore reissue 11(100%, some stickers applied but have the rest and everything else that comes with it, no box)I actually shortened the wing inserts so they didn't stick away from the body of the plane so much...they still transform well and are in great condition.

The fallen rotf(100%, with back of box)

Soundwave rotf(100% with back of box)

Grindor rotf(100% with back of box)

I have only transformed these once or twice, since then they've been sitting in a box... Anyway, I would rather have someone who wants them to get them. Not sure what I would take...but willing to consider any offer or option.

Taylor WM has the Universe Ultras, several of each, and tons of the Fearswoop sets. Skyfall seems to be the most common Ultra. They also had a ton of Deluxes, I saw the Ice Cream Twins, Thrust, Gears, Swerve, etc. Looks to be a forthcoming Transformers event, indeed.

I picked up two each of Hardhead and Powerglide, and one Skyfall. I'm happy that I don;t have to hunt this weekend...

Hooray for new TFs!
