Full case of FOC Deluxe Wave 3@ the Taylor WM, ~11:30am today. Also a couple of Grimlocks, perhaps more...

Tue Mar 05, 2013 1:23 pm

picked up Beast Hunters Deluxe Smokescreen and Ripclaw at the Burton Walmart today. Left 1 each of those two. They also have 2 each of bulkhead and Starscream. Had no intrest in them.
For some reason both of the deluxes I bought have really loose joints. Smokescreen is pretty cool but Ripclaw is my favorite BW fig so far.

Agree about Ripclaw being the best of the batch. For having a simple 'straighten the arms and legs to become robot' transformation, it looks really good. I'm not as enthusiastic over Smokescreen as I thought I would be. His proportions are off and getting his panels to fit is a pain.

Ypsi Walmart has FOC Magnus, Starscream, Sideswipe and Air Raid. I got the only Kickback (Sorry).

100% agree with you about Smokescreen. He was the one I was the most looking forward to. Ripclaws colors really work well with the mold. I like the darkish greenish plastic with the gold swirls.

Anyone find the autobot data disks yet? Everyone in this area is overstocked with the decepticon disks.

Walmart 14 an Vandyke...

Beast hunters release 1 and 2 including voyagers. As well all but kickback in the FoC line including voyagers.

Many welcomes.

Addendum: I really, really like that Botcon Obsidian. :-B

Don't want to have to buy the set just for that one...then again, who is Obsidian w/o Stryker...

Double post
I blame him ----> :KREMZEEK:

So its not new news... but They are slashing Prime rid transformer prices. Picked up

For 12.22... that is a steal!!
Got this one for customizing him... See below
So purdy.

^^^Such a righteous custom. :BOWDOWN:

Procured a singular Ramhorn Disc set@the Dearborn WM today at lunch. Peculiar that it was the only Autobot set there.

The AF section at that place is a wreck...

Kmart has BH voyager for $16 and Generations Voyagers for $19. But they only have Optimus, Predaking, Soundwave and soundblaster

Fri Mar 15, 2013 12:51 pm

I saw the new wave of BH Deluxes at the Grand Blanc Walmart. I believe they were $12 something. They had at least one of each. Starscream, Bulkhead, Ripclaw, and a Smokescreen. If you can only get one of those, I'd pick up the Ripclaw. My fav of the bunch.
But in more exciting news, I got my Toyworld Hegemon in the mail today. Bought it on Ebay $115 with free shipping. Only took 3 days to get here from Hong Kong. Great figure! I just need to tighten up the shoulders a bit.

Fri Mar 15, 2013 4:00 pm

14 John R tru had a kick back... In the back... He is mine!!! But as a side bonus if you do not have sideswipe, starscream, or air raid. Yeah. They are there.
Generations
3x sideswipe
2x air raid
2x starscream

Heads up to would be hunters ask the people that work at tru if there is a case of the new stuff there. They will generally go look for ya... Walmart, target, and meijer... What you see is what you get.

Was out and about in the Canton/Westland area today. Target on Michigan Ave had BH wave 2. There is 2 Smokescreens, 1 Ripclaw and 1 Bulkhead. I picked up Rip Claw. Target on Ford road had FoC wave 3. There was a Kick-back this afternoon. They were all on the opposite side of the aisle from the Transformers. Westland Target had a BH Smokescreen, Starscream and Bulkhead. One of the stores I went to also had a bunch of the FoC Combaticons. Good hunting!

Ooh. Beast Hunters deluxes are $10 at Target this week. Might be time for me to revisit the Prime line.

hit the taylor walmart yesterday. that place is like a secret goldmine for hard to get figs. got my baest hunters smokescreen and saw a FoC kick back along with the rest of 2 cases of wave 3. i think there were like 4 Umags, 3 sideswipes, 2 starscreams, 2 air raids as well. oh and all the cyberverse BH line on the shelves too.

im very pleased with smokescreen and think it's neat his armor parts are rubber and not hard plastic.

Picked up BH Shockwave today@ the Belleville WM, got the only 2 there. He's out...

Happy Hunting.

Well, the end of my TF hunting is almost here. Just waiting on Leader(I know it's called something else)BH Optimus, Generations Orion Pax, Generations Legends Optimus, and a couple of Bot Shots Optimii. After this, my 12+ years of collecting Optimus Prime will be complete. I will still be happy to help out in hunting down any TF's you guys may need.

Please check out the B/S/T forum from time to time as I don't know the fate of my non-Optimus figures as of right now. These are mainly Generations and Prime deluxes and also a decent collection of BB's throughout many series. Who know's, I may have something you need.

It's been great having all the help over the past few years in hunting down the ones' I've needed. I appreciate everything. 'Til all are one.

picked up blaster's minions and BH shockwave at the Livonia Walmart on saturday.

Tue Mar 26, 2013 11:02 am

I just picked up Commander class Hardshell at the Center Rd. Flint Target. I left 1 Hardshell and 2 Trailcutters. Hardshell is pretty cool. I really wish they'd come out with a Voyager class one..

News Credits: 1 · Sat Mar 30, 2013 7:13 pm

Would anyone be interested in the Bot Shots Dragon Set? I picked one up just for the Optimus figure. Everything else is still sealed in the box including Megatron. I am only asking $10. Thanks

Also posting in the B/S/T forum but would just like to deal locally with no shipping involved.

I found the new legions at Saline Walmart. Picked up the only Hun-Gurr I saw but there are still some Soundwaves and Prowls there.

Also saw FOC Grimlock and Soundblaster at the AA-Saline Meijer.

Hope everyone's Easter went well. Michigan Final Four! Woo-hoo!

So, I see no one has been in here for half a month. That's never a good sign. Hope all is well with everyone.

Picked up BH Shockwave at the Flint WalMart on Corunna Rd. They only had the one.
He's a good Shockwave. I'm glad I didn't buy him on line. He's (in my opinion) not worth any more than the $22 shelf price.
