I would offer to protect you but I imagine I'll have my head buried in comic boxes for most of the day.

Uhm, Tony, I thought she was referring to you

All kidding aside, good luck P

Nope. My current obsession isn't a even person.

It was easily one of the cruelest, funniest parenting moments I've ever witnessed.

Commerce Township Walmart had a Generations Scourge and Kup. The target just south of there on Haggerty also had a Kup and Scourge. Nothing much else. Looks like most places are waiting for Dark of the Moon so the shelves are pretty bare. Would like to find me a Voyager Ironhide. Guess I'll have to wait until the 16th.

I wouldn't let that Target display discourage you too much. All that means is that they currently don't have any stock, but they can't just leave an empty space so they filled it with what they do have. It's not a replacement, it's a substitute.

First truck they get with more TF's, it'll be filled right back up.

And it doesn't matter if she believes in it or not; Bakugan exists, lady. I would have smacked her across the nose and called her a bad mother.

Rijie found a bunch at the Allen Park Target. He grabbed me a Voyager Ironhide. Thanks dude! I didn't see anything at the Ann Arbor/Saline road Meijer. They did have a Kup and a Scourge. I grabbed the Scourge for Rijie and left the Kup. He was on an end cap with some clearance HFTD stuff. Scourge wasn't in the system so they had to price check and I got him for 8.99!

Thanks for the tip Money...Just grabbed Voyager Megs, Cyberverse Megs, and Voyager Prime at Meijer on Little Mack/ 13 Mile in Roseville. I think I was the first one to the display because it looked like it was just stocked. I even helped an elderly couple in making a gift choice for their 4 year old grandson. Doesn't hurt to create one more TF fan. Happy hunting everyone. P.S. Don't be surprised to find the voyagers are about the same size as many of the deluxe from the previous movies, or just TF as a whole.

Yeah...the size is a little strange isn't it...I haven't had a chance to really touch em...but the initially I see what you're saying. Glad I could help by the bye.

Hey ladies and gents. I'm not sure if any of you are still in the market, but I just picked up a HA Bumblebee for $8.24 at the Jenison Target. All of the HA's were marked as such.

Fri May 06, 2011 9:10 pm

I got the optimus, starscream, megatron, etc. legends wave today and I have to say....these are unbelievable. I want moooooore. I need a set for work...my car..my wifes car... They are so cool. They are a must have...imo. Especially if you're a G1 kid like me!

I know...I realized that as soon as my eyes saw your post....I feel like a dupe now...so obvious. Hopefully we'll see those suckers on the shelves someday.

I doubt it. I gave up and also ordered a couple from BBTS. I just got Prime and Megatron. I agree that they are great.

I have mine open and put them in alt mode already. Still not diggin' Prime in this mode yet but I do like the bot mode. Megs is really nice in both modes though I don't especially care for the cloak in bot mode. Also, his right shoulder joint could be a tad tighter. I like the mechtech weapons but not too sure about the mounting pegs. Seems like they will be the first things to break due to their tight fit. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase.

Yeah, ran into my first DOTM sighting yesterday at the AP Meijer on my lunch break. The TF section was empty, but an employee directed me to a display by the sporting good section. They had wave 1 everything except Leaders.

I did grab Ironhide x2, one for me and one for Toddimus. I was tempted by the Nascar Wrecker, but I figure he'd be around if I changed my mind. Gonna be much more selective this time around.

The Cyberverse figs look pretty cool for the most part.

Thanks for the Scourge, homie. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

I hear you there. For some reason, I'm just not as pumped up this time around. Maybe that'll change when I see the displays or the movie itself, but I'm not nearly as excited as when the first two films hit.

Except for Leader Ironhide. Oh man.

Went to Hill rd. Meijer in Flint and picked up the 4 human alliance basics and voyager Ironhide and Megatron. Absolutely love the HA guys and after I add some paint to Megs he's going to be great! Now i just gotta find Shockwave and I'll be set for a bit. Anyone see any leaders out yet?

Sun May 08, 2011 4:54 pm

Still haven't seen anything around here -- Meijer had four older deluxes hanging out on the pegs and 4' of empty space, Kmart still has one Tuner Mudflap and a lot of not-very-clearanced clearance. Might pick up the combiner jet/helicopter set, but not for $20...

Yeah that's all I'm seeing by me, but I'm going out again tomorrow so wish me luck.

Saw the DOTM display at Southgate Meijer-digging the megatron but may hold off for the Chronicles version. Woodhaven Target did have leader Bumblebee. He looked pretty cool-he is awfully...chesty. I'll definitely pick up leader Ironhide and Sentinel Prime though.

Got my TF fix at the Waterford Meijer this morning--thanks for the tip!

Picked up Voyager Megs and Prime, as well as Crankcase and Roadbuster deluxes. Rounded it off with all four HA bots. Consider my TF fund BLOWN!

It may not have been Gen Warpath, Wheeljack, and TC, but at least it was SOMETHING. FINALLY! :KREMZEEK:
