Mostly for moneycon, I saw the DC LEGO Funhouse set at TRU today. Seeing as their prices on the other sets are so crazy high, I think I'm going to wait till it pops up elsewhere, no matter how cool it looks.

hit a walmart and 2 TRU in the last week and everyplace is still empty as can be.

and if today's news post is true it sounds like we'll never see cliffjumper or the voyager prime and bulkhead from the FE toys, which stinks because they all look much better than the later versions. guess now that i got my voyager inferno for my classics last year those will be the new figures i'll hunt for whenever i go to conventions.

Forgive my ignorance but are there differences between the bots or just packaging?

Well Optimus and CliffJumper are both new(and imo lesser) molds, but we haven't seen the new Bulkhead yet.

I love how they try to sound like they know what they're doing with "...but if there is a demand for them..." as if they all didn't fly off the pegs within a few days.

I know right? They keep acting like everyone who knows how to run a business haven't bailed on them.

So, I preordered the first editions (except cliffjumper...he's sold out) on bbts.

Hey everyone. Time to make a little room and put some $$ in my pocket for a big TF purchase. I've been trying to scrape up some dough for MP-10. Anyways, all you see here is up for sale. Prowl was an out of box find and is missing packaging, instructions, and weapon. Everything else purchased new and I will include packaging and instructions. Please message me with reasonable offers and help a fellow MI Seibertronian out. Thanks I'm in St. Clair Shores. I will meet somewhere if necessary if it's not too far.

Friends,

Ran to Windsor yesterday to look around. It's not that far after all. The main TRU had TONS of Bumblebees, Starscreams and Arcees. No Cliffjumpers. There were a few Prime/Megatron/DVD packs left. No Primes or Bulkheads. The TRU express at Windsor crossing does have a few Voyager Primes and Cliffjumpers left. I took the last Bulkhead I saw.

Remember, Transformers are ridiculously expensive across the border. The US dollar and Canadian dollar are equal now. It's $17 for deluxes and $30 for voyagers. Add in 13% tax and $4 each way on the Ambassador Bridge. Border wait times stink too.

I figured our Canadian friends had 2 months to get their hands on these. Now it's time for us Yanks to invade. The border guard thought it was funny that I would go into Canada for shopping.

Hope that helps. Despite the expense, these toys are freakin awesome. Way better than what the main line toys are looking like.

will pay serious money for anyone that will go across the border and get these for me. no passport means no way for me to do it myself.

Long time no chat! Does someone here own a black Dodge Charger with an Autobot logo on the backside? Kinda played a cat-and-mouse game on the freeway going to work yesterday, lol! I've been super busy with work for the past few months since my duties changed. Still collecting though

I just put my order in for TFCC Runabout. So glad they held out this long. I was sure they'd be up and sold out before I got home from work tonight. The non-member price includes a membership, doesn't it? I always forget. Just want to make sure I get a Runamuck, too.

It does not. You have to purchase a membership. the non-member price is $40 more than the member price. so if you didn't specifically sign up for a membership I don't think you are one.

Then why is this on the order page? "Non-membership price ($40 domestic) includes 6 bi-monthly full color magazines and 2012 Free membership incentive figure (ships Spring 2012)." They should make it a little more clear.

Hello all, long time no post.

Hi Pam.

Sighted Prime Cyberverse Legion($5.99ea) and Bot Shots($4.99ea) at the Dearborn TRU, about 1/2hr ago.

The line is on its way.

just picked up the whole 1st series of deluxe and voyager class RiD Prime figures. Prime Megatron, Cliffjumper, Wheeljack, Soundwave, and Bumblebee.
Had them at the Flint Toys R Us. The Burton Walmart had the peg stickers up for cyberverse and the other little ones( forgot the name. something bots) but no product.

*edit*
I actually passed on the BB. still 3 of those left
