We went to Portage and Battle Creek today. Portage TRU had a few things but nothing new. I found the Episode II Commemorative Tin there (and bought it). The Kmart in Portage wasn't anything great - they did have at least 4 of everything bedding wise.
The WalMart in Battle Creek wasn't bad. They had 20+ Devastator sets at full price $30. They also had about 20 of the WalMart Exclusive Venom's. I picked one of those up too.
The Target was pretty lame as was the Big Lots. The Kmart was okay. I bought another Episode II Commemorative Tin there too for 10% off and in better condition than the TRU one. I'm going to return the TRU one to the Okemos TRU tomorrow.
The Kmart in Battle Creek also had at least 4x of everything bedding wise.
I posted pretty much all the sightings of toys in the Sightings section.

well, I'm in batesville, AR. I stopped at a wal-mart outside of Little Rock after I landed. I found Ravage!!!!!! they had quite a few ravages and rumbles. there was a TRU and a Target there too. nothing of note at those places. I passed 3 walmarts between little rock and Batesville. I didn't stop at them .. would always see them after I passed the exit. I'll probably hit them friday night when I'm driving back down to little rock. I stopped at the walmart here in batesville. didn't see and alternators, nor any protoforms. I did find some SW figures I hadn't seen before. the shock trooper(red clone). there were 4 of them. I picked up two and then also grabbed a regular white clone trooper. they also had the green and white clone commander. left him there too. so far, pretty good trip 
gonna open ravage here in a bit.

Because I forgot to get a mothers day card, I was at the Target on Carpenter road in A2 first thing this morning and they have the newer Star Wars Comic 2 packs, ala Obi Wan and Arc Trooper, Luke in Storm Trooper Armor and somebody, and the 3rd one I didn't even look at. I left them all, so they are there, 2 of two of them and only 1 of the other.
Wish I could be more descriptive, but I didn't really look all that close at any of them. I'll take notes next time

It's Luke and Artoo...
And the other pack is a JEDI and bounty hunter/gambler...the names escape me momentarily, but they are expanded universe. I have them, they are pretty cool.

Man, you'd think I could have remembered Artoo... now I feel stupid

Went down to the Taylor WM again, and ::gasp!:: actually found something new, even if it isn't TF-related.
Got the DCH Black Suit Spiderman, along with another Mongul, and a dull-chested Steel. Woohoo! I think that is the first time I have gotten a short-packed DCH figure first.

I did a major run of Livonia / Novi / Farmington Hills today. The Target on 9 Mile & Grand River dropped the prices further on Classics, they have Prime for $10 & Mirage for $5. They also have Marvel Minimates tow packs for $2.48, & teh DCH Superman 2 packs for $8. I finally picked up the Predator Attack Team Minicons for $5. I don't care for their bot modes but they will make cool minions for Cyb Soundwave. Everywhere else is pretty dry unless you're looking for Protoform figs (tons everywhere) or the TRU Exclusive Emma Frost ML (10+ at both TRU I visited).
Does anyone plan on attending Motor City Con this weekend?

It all depends on the condition the package comes in for me. If it's damaged I'm going to open it. If not, I'll wait and pick one up to open later.
Same for the real gear toys. I'm not planning on buying 2 of every figure like I did with the classics line but Ironhide is my favorite mold out of the movie toys I have seen so far so I have to have 2 of him.

Mine should be here tomorrow according to the tracking information.
What are you on the phone with Microsoft for? 8 hours seems like a long time to have them on the phone, they are usually very quick to resolve issues.
