saw the several of the new bumblebee human alliance figures at K-mart on dixie hwy in waterford....colors look nice. and 17.99 is a steal nowadays!

I'm sorry to hear that Rc13...but I can't relate at all..I'm really dig some of these guys!

Got Shockwave and the deluxe wreckers from Woodhaven Wal-Mart...not too bad. I saw Mudflap at Dearborn TRU but didn't see any of the rest of the wave.

Just waiting (sorta)patiently for bbts to ship my preorder of wheeljack, thundercracker and warpath...

No sightings to report, just wanted to contribute to the growing consensus that Shockwave and Skyhammer are very nice figures. The latter I was especially impressed with. I mainly picked up SW to add to my Movie-Style G1 shelf, and was pleasantly surprised with the look and the very solid alt-mode.

Skyhammer is one of the best Heli-TFs ever, I'm hoping for a more military-style redeco in the near future. :APPLAUSE:

I think about finished with the line so far, although I'm still on the fence over Topspin and Barricade, and I kind of want the Takara exclusives Air Raid and Vortex...

Crappy movie toys galore out there! I was tempted to grab a couple things but I swore off the movie toys and I intend to stick with it. My TF drought continues....

Oh well, time to catch up on some Minimates, I guess.

Got my alternate universe hothead from ups today. Fantastic lookin' dude.

Mon May 23, 2011 6:43 pm

saw the 3 pack with rodimus and the night shade optimus (better mold from what I can tell than the first voyager) or whatever it's called 2 pack at the whitelake walmart on m59.

Hm. Not getting my Michigan Sightings Updates again...

I grabbed some DOTM over the weekend. Shockwave and Sky Hammer, I was impressed I could intuitively transform them without the directions and looking at the package. I grabbed Powerglide, and Blackout, as well as, the SS, and BB Cyber-verse playsets. Also have Sandstorm and Roadbuster.

I am pretty much done I think, minus the other HA Scouts when they go on sale.

I also plan on grabbing KRE-O when they come out in June (6th?). I love LEGO, and think that these sets are pretty nifty, minus the fact that you still need to take them apart to transform them. At least they look G1 and have the little LEGO man-selves! Now I can have TFs on the DEATH STAR, in INDIANA JONES movies, and in SPONGE BOB's car!

Picked up Topspin from Walmart while I was in Howell for Bledfest. Rationalized it to my fiancee as needing to buy something so I could get cashback for band merch. Nice stores down there in Howell.

You know, if I hadn't gotten 2 emails from you yesterday, I'd make a big deal out about how noob still lives. But I already knew that

News Credits: 1082 · Tue May 31, 2011 11:19 am

Not all of us did. Nobody goes to California if they already live in Michigan. You know the rules!

Tue May 31, 2011 11:24 am

I want every polybag thingy from the Botcon convention if that is what you are talking about.

Tue May 31, 2011 4:16 pm

Dr. Noob Saibot lives! And not just in my PS3...

I'd go back to Cali if I could afford it. Too many concurrent priorities.

No sightings, just wanted to share in some temporary noob love.

Don't be a stranger.

Tue May 31, 2011 8:59 pm

i'm waffling between dropping the money on a minicon package or just getting a couple of day passes. are the extra activities worth it?

News Credits: 5 · Tue May 31, 2011 10:49 pm

OOH! I love polybag thingies, doctor!

Dude!!!! How's it going!?!?! I would have seen your post a few days ago if I didn't have to log in every time I just want to look at this thread. Are you ever planning on coming back to visit? Any new toys? How's the job and life going for you?

News Credits: 1 · Thu Jun 02, 2011 8:16 am

hey noob. good to hear from ya.

Thu Jun 02, 2011 9:39 am

hey all!! i'm bummed that none of you are hardcore enough to make it out here for botcon! things are great here, the streets are paved with gold and houses are made out of candy! i hang out with the hollywood a-listers all the time.

oh wait ...

Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:18 am

Picked up the Mission Earth Ironhide and Sideswipe from Southgate Toysrus.
The rest of the weekend will be devoted to being bitter about not affording anything from Botcon this year.

Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:27 am

Finally got my first DotM figure today: Voyager Shockwave.
My TRU had prolly a dozen or so voyagers, but only one of him. Didn't realize he was gonna be that hard to get.

At any rate, I love him. I haven't cared much for the cybertronian vehicle modes up to this point, but his goes together really well. Hopefully, this speaks well for the rest of the line. I'll prolly get the few Deluxes I want soon.

News Credits: 194 · Fri Jun 03, 2011 12:50 pm

Ann Arbor TRU has the scanning Ironhide and Sideswipe Deluxes. They also had 2 Nitro Bumblebees and a bunch of the Bumblebee/Starscream Legends 4-packs. They have a Movie Legends BB that is like the scanning one, a movie legends Starscream with a weird paint job. Then a Universe Legends BB with a new paint job and a Cybertron Legends Starscream with a new paint job.

do the movie ones really need to be in there? It's $14.99. I'll pick it up, just not right now.
