Kre-O sets are buy-one-get-one-50%-off at TRU again. Today and tomorrow only, apparently. I grabbed Megatron and Starscream at Westland TRU.

Hey guys, if anyone is looking for a leader class Ironhide, the Kmart in Royal Oak (the John R and 12 mi one) has a solid waste-load of 'em, as well as the two newer HA sets, Laserbeak and DOTM TC. The good stuff is all in a couple of those cardboard stand-up shelves near the door.

Finally got my LC Ironhide there (one that wasn't defective right out of the box!) yesterday, and with my Sears employee discount it came to under $40 (they're on sale for $39).

Man, I was just there earlier in the week and they didn't have anything good like that. Guess I'm going back later.

EDIT: Alright, I went back.
I found a few Laserbeaks, picked one up. Nothing really new otherwise though they did have Leader Ironhides. No HA Wreckers to be seen and that floor display wasn't around anymore. Nothing rare in Kre-O.
They have a few of those Battle Ops Bumblebees, but they're still at full price. I wonder when they'll clearance them like Target. I'm still fighting the battle between wanting that or Leader Bee. DotM has the cool new car mode and can pull pieces out for a close approximation of the Stealth Force mode, but Battle Ops has the more accurate robot. Decisions, decisions.
If HA Bumblebee had accurate arms/legs, I wouldn't have this dilemma. =P

I went over the 14/John R Target after, found Hatchet. Kinda silly he turns into a jet, but I may get a second Crankcase and add see if I can get him to look a little more like Crowbar. That, plus I'm still a little peeved Crankcase's neck joint was broken when I transformed him this first time.
If they do make Crowbar, it'd be nice if they' included those club/spikes that they throw at Ironhide (even though I think that's Crankcase who does it, but those things are sweet).

Picked up Solar Storm Grappel and Lugnut at the westside Ann Arbor TJMaxx today. They looked like the only ones there. They did have 2 Deep Dives left. At least these guys might be popping up in the area. Only 9.99 each.

Greetings and salutations Michiganders. Just want to give positive representations to noob and TT24 for my BC SG Galvatron/AM Thundercracker set and number two Punch/Counterpunch, thanks a million, gents!

Missing everybody, hope you are all weathering this intense heat with chins held high! (It's easier for the perspiration to drip off that way...)

I hear the Force practicing for this weekends air show...

I've been pretty quiet on here lately. I haven't gotten much in the way of Transformers lately. I did pick up a space case at the Canton Target on Mich Ave Tuesday night. they had to get one out of the back for me. It's a nice figure. I've been mainly getting Legos lately. I never thought I'd like the Lego City sets so much, but they're awesome. I'm also looking forward to the Marvel and DC legos that were just announced at SDCC. the Thor mini figure looks awesome!

It's all downhill from here. I am addicted to most Star Wars LEgos, and Harry Potter and the random set here or there of others.

So, ny wife bought me the small Kre-O Optimus Prime while she was out the other day and I kinda like the little thing. Tons of articulation for something built with Leog-style blocks. I really want to grab the large version with the trailer and also have to pick up Megatron. I'm kind of addicted to these and I may have to go back and hunt down some Buit to Rule Armada sets.

I put the small Bbee set together last night, and was pretty impressed. For the price, and amount of bricks, it's a pretty swell brick build.
