Sounds like fun. I haven't been to the one in Taylor in years.

FYI - HASBRO squashed the rumor that these would be limited to online and TRU.

good to hear.
I'm really excited about the Prime line.
But they might have been saying that the ones that say "First Edition" on the boxes would have been the exclusives. I'm just guessing...

Looks like Kmart has the Matrix Prime Kreons free with any Kre-O purchase this week in case you missed it at TRU. Most of the Kre-O sets are on sale ranging from 2 to 10 dollars off, too.

Hey guys, do any of you have a Legends Class Megatron they wouldn't mind letting go of? Doesn't have to be in package but would be a plus if it was. I have a couple of tf's to trade but would a prefer a $3-$5 cash deal. Let me know. I'm in St. Clair Shores so if you're close enough, I'd be able to pick it up right away. Thanks

Could also use a RID spychanger Optimus Prime(red). Same criteria.

I was in Utica today and stopped in the 5 Below store(think thats the name.)across from lakeside mall, and picked up 3 Windchargers for me and a couple friends. had quite a few left. they also had all the G1 legends toys there. was tempted to buy them since ive never seen them in stores. got a set from bbts a while back

Wow, too bad there aren't any of those stores near me.

Don't forget, like I almost did, there's an Xtravacon tomorrow. http://www.motorcityconventions.com/

I'll be there....despite my kid having an appendectomy two days ago. Grandparents are amazing. To think 20 years ago you would have been made to feel guilty for not doing enough(that may be my poor english background and mothers parents) but now they're like..."you need to take some time and rest up(that may be my wifes Swedish background)!!!" Hells yeah. Plus he is doing really really really well in his recovery!

News Credits: 5 · Sat Nov 19, 2011 9:34 pm

Good to hear he's doing well!

I'm feeling a bit paranoid about tomorrow. That means I'll either walk out of there with a loss or $300 extra in my pocket. Here's hoping for the latter!

Just wanted to report that I found some Prime toys at Livonia TRU this morning. All they had was Arcee and Bumblebee. No Starscream or 2-pack. Anybody know the case breakdown on the deluxes?

News Credits: 194 · Mon Nov 21, 2011 11:14 am

AA TRU also had the Prime Deluxes as of about 3pm yesterday. 1 Arcee and 4 BB's. No Starscream

I think the case ratios are 4 BB's, 2 Arcee's and 2 Starscreams. So don't worry about finding BB, he'll be everywhere.

Mon Nov 21, 2011 12:19 pm

I'm pleased to convey that I found a couple of Windchargers at the Allen Park 5 below, and ended up handing one off to a fellow collector who was looking. There are none left, but his casemates are there aplenty, including Breacher, $5 a pop.

I'd also posit that the chances of restock within the week are pretty high.

They are also rife with RTS Legends: Prime, Gold BB, Prowl, Trailcutter, Megatron, and Starscream. They are in the back corner, and also by the register, and in the wheelbarrow display. $3 a pop.

Happy Hunting.

Tue Nov 22, 2011 2:39 pm

Prime toys at flint toys r us. Had 3 bumblebees 2 arcee and 2 starscreems left as of 2:30 tuesday

No Prime toys at the Roseville TRU but an entire display of Ultimate OPtimus Primes and over at Kohls across the street they have kup, blurr and warpath from the generations line and a jazz from RTS in the toy section.

now that i've had a chance to mess with them i'm really loving this line.
has there been any sightings of the 2 pack? I really want that Megatron. Starscream is getting lonley standing here on my desk.
Heres my thoughts on the 3 Deluxes.
1. Bumblebee is pretty good. I'm liking him more than the NYCC taxi version. love his yellow and he has a bunch more paint apps than the taxi.
2. Arcee is MUCH better looking than the pink NYCC bike. I loved the pink one but the blue and black suits the mold way better.
3. Starscream is by far my favorite. All tall and lankey. He has a very fun transformation where everything tabs in pretty solidly. If you can only get one I'd suggest Starscream.
UGGH! cant wait for the Voyagers!

Wed Nov 23, 2011 12:11 pm

I love these guys too. They're so well put together and the cartoon is really good, it just makes the perfect combination.

Roseville Marshalls opened a fresh case of RTS for black friday. left 2 perceptors, 2 wreck gars, 1 laser prime and 1 bumblebee for anyone who's looking.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Nov 27, 2011 2:57 pm

Well, I just got back from a little Sunday toy hunting. I was really hoping to grab a Perceptor and Wreck-Gar today but no luck. I did, however, find RTS Turbo Tracks and Special Op Jazz at Kohls in Macomb Mall. Happy with the find since I missed out on them last Christmas. They had quite a bit left. Jazz and Tracks for sure in RTS along with a couple others. Lots of DOTM but most are Bumblebee and some miscellaneous stuff. Good luck everyone.

Novi TRU had four TF Prime Bumblebees today. Sadly, I remain Starscreamless.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Nov 28, 2011 4:10 pm

just got my SDCC Optimus Prime First Edition from HTS. Other than the extra long arms, I'd have to say this is an amazing little figure. No QC issues whatsoever! Can't wait to get Voyager Prime and the deluxe 2 pack w/ kids. Hell, I'm excited about this whole line from what I've seen.

Yeah, they were all out. Found out that they get new stock in Mon, Wed, and Fri. I just haven't had a chance to get back over there.
