Highlight of my day...running into one of the real Barricade Saleens while cruising Downriver :grin:

Epic day of WIN!!!

I "chased" him in Beam, my Autobot Jeepy for a while

I have a whole album full of pics, which I will link to below, and his owner was awesome enough to let me get some pics with him

*fangirl squeal*

More pics if you click on the pic link below:

On another note, see some of you at Xtravacon in a few hours! I won't be there for long because of other obligations (Steampunk...) for the afternoon

I may still be in SQUEEE!!! fangirl mode, so don't mind me

Had an okay xtravacon today. Made about as much as I hoped I would. Nice to see the Seibertronians that showed up. I'm really looking forward to all the new Generations figures that were announced and shown over the weekend. Also the Club Exclusives for next year sound pretty cool. Repaint of Classics Rodimus!!! :grin:

Canton Target on Ford Road has the deluxes from the ROTF wave with Brawn and Lockdown. 8.99. they had 3 Lockdowns and 1 or two brawns along with a few ratchets. nothing else exciting.

Rumor has it there were a couple animated Arcees at the Madison Heights TRU yesterday. My buddy mentioned it (tho he already has one). I'm busy all day today, he said he'll try to pick one up for me when he goes by later, but I'm expecting them to be gone.

Worth checking out, if you're looking and in the area. I wonder if this means my store (Southfield) will be getting them soon.

Nice pics, Highbeam. Doesn't quite match having that Delorean I saw, but it's pretty close.

Delorean's are sweet! There is one parked on Stadium just south of Liberty in Ann Arbor almost every day.

Flint's TRU had at least 6 arcees on the pegs when I stopped there before work on Saturday.

Lol, no but I wouldn't say no if Bay asked

Get to play with those cars/TF's all day? Heck yes!! :twisted:

Tue Jun 29, 2010 2:18 pm

Huh. Well...

[gathers all TF figures into a big pile, picks up as many as possible]
You can come play with these.

LOL! I meant the life-sized ones

If I wanted to play with TF's, I've got three shelves full and more in boxes

Ann Arbor TRU had 3 Arcees tonight. nothing else new. I read on TFW that Novi TRU has a lot of new stuff. I preordered the Seacons from BBTS. excited about those. TT, how was Botcon?

LEADER STARSCREAM IS BEAUTIFUL!

I got to open the new TF lines at work today. He was the first thing out, along with the battle damaged Prime that comes with the hooks. Happy with mine, thanks.
There were some more Deluxes, including a repainted Ravage and Dirge(I think? The harrier) and ANOTHER version of Bumblebee. I noticed his forearms were more accurate, that was about it. Deluxe Ironhide as well.
There were some smaller figures, Legends I think? I want to get the little Ravage to have one in scale with everyone else. The new Voyagers comes in slim, vertical boxes. Mostly repaints, but Seaspray was present as well and looking good.

The really unique thing was a couple boxes from the "Generations" line. A deluxe Optimus and Bumblebee as seen in the new War for Cybertron game. There were also some smaller scale combiners with packaging shape similar to the RotF Target exclusives, one with air vehicles, the other featuring a tank and the like.

Couldn't afford anything just yet, this kind of took me by surprise, but it's not like I won't have access to them.
I took some pics on my phone. I'll post them when I'm feeling less lazy. <3 my job.

Sounds like there were Power Core Combiners too. Where do you work?

roseville tru had all the new TFs yesterday. i picked up a few. the scout class PCC are really cool. so is legends ravage. no more plastic crack withdrawls for me.

News Credits: 5 · Wed Jun 30, 2010 11:26 am

Hit the mother lode at Livonia TRU just now. Here's a quick rundown, I'm pretty sure it was all full cases.

Power Core Combiners:
2-packs (2 each Searchlight, Huffer, Smolder)
5-packs (2 each Combaticons and Arialbots)

Generations:
Deluxe (4 each WFC Bumblebee and Prime)

Hunt for the Decepticons:
Legends
Voyager (2 Sea Spray, 1 Ratchet, 1 Payload)
Leader (2 each Starscream and Prime)

I picked up a Sea Spray and a PCC Combaticons set. All TFs are buy 1 get 1 50% off through saturday so I'll probably stop back for more after payday. Feels nice to see new stuff that I actually want.

Wed Jun 30, 2010 1:19 pm

You guys rock!!! As soon as I read the posting that they were out, I shot over to TRU on telegraph in pontiac and picked up all the PCC's and optimus and bumblebee wfc's. didn't see any thing else though...good lucking hunting.

News Credits: 194 · Wed Jun 30, 2010 4:11 pm

Ann Arbor TRU has some of the new stuff. They have one WFC Prime and BB left. they have 2 each of the PCC. None of the 5 packs though. 2 Seasprays and 1 each of the others. No new leader class that I saw. They had the new activators too. I didn't see any of the HFTD deluxes.

I went to the very same location today and picked up Seaspray, Payload, Jetblade and DX Ironhide. That's all the new stuff they had besides some Sea Attack Ravages which I left dangling on the pegs. No PCCs left tho. :-(

Wow, that's strange...cause they didn't have seaspray when I went...they must have put out the pcc's later in the day or something....I left one of each..2 5packs and 3 pcc's....maybe those are still there! I went at 2:00.
ps, i passed on ravage as well, but there was only one.

Southfield TRU.
I'm not quite sure just what info I'm allowed to divulge... but this is all on the floor ready to be viewed by the public, so I can't imagine it'd be a problem. Don't ask about what's in back and no, you can't use my discount. =P

Did someone say "Delorean"?

I like Sea Spray very much! I'm not a huge fan of the forced wide stance but I can overlook that thanks to all the good things including the transformation, poseability and details.

I'm not as quite as happy with the PCC Combaticons. Bombshock is decent but I'mk not really thrilled with the drones concept and I've never been a fan of automatic anything when it comes to TFs.
