Just discovered that there's a page for Michigan sightings!

Been looking for a Vehicon like mad, but have found nothing.
I did buy a deluxe Knockout at the Wal-Mart in Dearborn—which means they got at least one case of the Vehicon wave. That Wal-Mart still has a Deluxe Hotshot that I passed on.

A few weeks back, I found a voyager starscream at the Target in Ann Arbor on Ann Arbor-Saline road; it had QC issues, so I returned it and promptly found another at another Target near Detroit.

Some Generations figures have been showing up at discount stores recently: Wheeljack and Kup are at the Marshall's in Arborland (in Ann Arbor) right now. I've also seen several RTS Jazz figs at various locations (like the Kohl's in Grand Blanc) recently.

Anyone know where I can get a deluxe Vehicon? Or want to pick one up for me if you see it?

Welcome to our thread!

I think there are many of us who are on the lookout for vehicon, which is why none of us can find it.

If you can wait grab a case from BBTS that has vehicon x2 in it. If you can't shop online, try hitting up local cons. News of them tends to pop up here every so often.

ARGH!!! Why does Wonderland Walmart keep putting out new DOTM cases?!?!?!? It's so damn frustrating!!!

I finally had a spot of good luck today. I grabbed Cyberverse Dreadwing and Breakdown at 8 & Haggerty Meijer. I left the Ironhide they had. I got detoured onto Ford road so I decided to check the Walmart there. They had one Knock Out and nothing else. I also saw a Voyager Bulkhead and Starscream at Westland Meijer.

Hey guys, does anyone have a PRID Ratchet or Soundwave they would be willing to part with? I'd be happy to pick it up from you. Just give me a price. If today works out for you, that would be even better. Thanks. I'm in St. Clair Shores so I'm trying to stay local.

I've created a Tumblr of pictures I've taken of Transformers. They're all done with my iPhone and an app called Camera Awesome. Check it out!

I finally found a Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Alfred! I hope wave 2 is a little easier to collect. I'd really like to finish putting this Bat Signal together.

Are we boycotting the sightings forum??? j/k. What's everyone been up to? It's been weeks since anything new has touched the shelves. I've looked here and there with nothing but the yellow plague in sight. I still see a couple Movie edition Primes here and there but that's it. Nothing new at all. I'm still trying to backtrack and grab a PRID Ratchet if anyone knows of one or has an extra. Good luck, everyone,in your hunting. Hopefully we get the Weaponizers and FOC figs before too long.

Still settling into my new place and unpacking TFs I haven't seen in years. (And some I really forgot that I had!) No need to shop when I have things I haven't seen in years to play with.

Anyone planning on going to the comic/toy show on July 21st in... idk, is it Clinton? Harper just north of Metro Parkway. I've got a table and will be trying to thin the 'bot herd a bit.

was just thinking the other day about how dead the last month has been for new stuff. just waiting to find a vehicon and knock out deluxe here. im almost expecting to see fall of cybertron toys before that happens though.

I know at some point I've seen a PRID Ratchet at the Toys R Us on Gratiot in Roseville. That's pretty near to St. Clair I think. I don't know if they have one now, but they did at some point.

I'm going to be out that way tomorrow; I'll post again if I see a Ratchet there.

A few weeks back, I found a Knockout at the Wal-Mart in Dearborn; and I recently saw Knockout and Voyager Bulkhead & Starscream here in Ann Arbor where I live. But the Vehicon is still eluding me.

Nothing to report TF-wise in my area aside from Bot Shots wave 3 popping up in a few places. I did have a nice surprise tonight, though. I found a Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters Catwoman at Livonia Meijer. Totally wasn't expecting her to pop up so soon. Only two pieces to go until I have a complete Bat Signal!

Wed Jun 20, 2012 2:01 pm

Well, I did some shopping around today. There is indeed ONE PRID RATCHET (being attacked by a swarm of bumblebees) at the Toys R Us there in Roseville on Gratiot.

There's also a voyager starscream at the Meijer just down the road.

Wed Jun 20, 2012 2:40 pm

Nice teamwork ChZuck! Glad those Bbees are helpful for something!

News Credits: 1 · Wed Jun 20, 2012 5:19 pm

Thanks ChZuck. I might have to go check that out. Didn't think I'd want him so bad when I sold you mine. lol

News Credits: 1082 · Wed Jun 20, 2012 5:31 pm

i've seen some PRID Hot Shots, and PRID Knockout, but no Vehicons. I did nab all Botshot Wave 3 at Meijer a few weeks ago.

Looking for a discounted GI JOE Skystriker at Target. They seem to be all gone from around here and TRU has them for $40 still.

Other than that, been selling stuff on ebay.

Success! Thanks again ChZuck on the hide. Ratchet looks awesome standing beside the other core Autobots.

I found Shadow Strike Bumblebee and Dead End at North Livonia Walmart today. No sign of Airachnid, unfortunately, and I still haven't seen a Hot Shot or Vehicon anywhere.

Hey guys (and ladies)!

It's been a while since I've had anything to share, but I just wanted to let everyone know of an event we're putting on in the Grand Rapids area. The 2nd Annual Geek Garage Sale is this Friday and Saturday, June 30-July 1 and will be hosted by Epic Electronics and Gaming. Below is the link to the Facebook event with all the details.

https://www.facebook.com/events/307023242720853/

I'll have a table set up with a bunch of Transformers stuff, so if you're in the area, feel free to stop by!

Not a bad haul for $12, eh? This guy also had some M.A.S.K. vehicles and figures including a decent 90% Rhino for almost nothing.

Does anyone have any spare Unicron parts laying around. I'd really like to complete him. I'll give up everything here but the Unicron for parts. Thanks

News Credits: 1 · Sat Jun 30, 2012 1:55 pm

did you pick up the MASK toys? i might be enticed to trade my complete unicron for that one and a couple of those.

Sadly, I did not. I can see if they are still available for you. The guy is at 18 and Mound.

Well I figured I'd better post something here so I can get the emails when something new is posted....I hate that it stops sending me emails out of the blue. Anyway, someone needs to relate to GM (obviously) regarding batman movie masters....I found all those too GM...was very happy.

Since things have been so barren, I just ordered FOC jazz and optimus at bbts. I feel like nothing is going to EVER show up and the price wasn't horrible....plus they had them in stock!

I haven't really been checking siebertron news either since they, supposedly, don't post anything about third party stuff and I am a third party addict. But then again, I haven't been checking tfw either...I don't know. I figure I'll find out about stuff as preorders or on the shelves.

I love those new legends...I think they're asia exclusives or something...think we'll ever see them.

anyway, there are about a million things I'd like to ask and am wondering about but I guess that is it for now.

Hope this finds everyone well.
