I wanted to switch my order to BBTS and just get both from the same place. ah well. BBTS is only cheaper by a penny. of course, noob will come back with the comment that I don't like money so I waste it....

SO I think because I have to work and cant wait for the stores to open I am not going to be getting a 08 BB for a little with...guess I shuould just count myself lucky to have found my RC.

well, I've been a little concerned about finding the 08 bumblebee.. especially since I'm not home. it's one of the reasons I preorded a case from BBTS... but now I see there is another two pack that will have the 08 bumblebee in it. I forgot that there was also the one with voyager prime. I still don't think I'll cancel my bbts order yet. we'll see.

I thought about it but after shipping it ends up being $30+ more than MSRP.

I doubt Bumblebee will be rare, nothing like the TAC McQuarrie figures anyway.

Yes it is I am just far too lazy to type the whole word...on another not I found and picked up dreadwing about an hour ago...not a BB in sight.

Ahh, got it.

Well we ran down to Jackson tonight.

TRU had nothing, Target had 1 Deluxe Arcee, Wal-Mart had nothing and Kmart had nothing.

Waste of a trip

OH CRAP...I almost forgot to tell you guys I also saw unleashed Prime...hes cool...if you like that stuff...I cant see the price for him personally.

Yeah, I saw some at TRU here in Westland. Meh. I got to much stuff to have another non-moving statue that's not of one of my absolute favorite characters. Don't get me wrong, Prime's cool, just not one of my favorite TF characters.

Even though I seem to have collected quite a Prime collection without really trying. Could it be because he is in every series, and gets all the 'special' figures made of him? Probably.

:-?

The Tigers just won their second one-run decision against the Twins in as many nights. It's really nice to see them winning the close games more consistently now.

Starting pitching has been able to go late into games which is very good, and the defense has been helping quite a bit, robbing homers and such...I'm looking at you Curtis Granderson!

Nate Robertson pitched a hell of a game last night. Good to see 'Gum Time' is back at it.

Yeah, and did you see what Thames did tonight? I hope he's not hurt too badly.

MIssed it...did he throw his shoulder out swinging too hard and missing a pitch? Guess i'll have to watch some highlights.

He ran in and caught a shallow blooper off his shoe-tops. He grabbed his hamstring after a jump-and-roll and then limped off the field.

I'm getting so pissed. When are any of the stores near me going to restock??? I'm sure we'll all get are BB's here in a couple of weeks. They'll be everywhere.

Wed Jul 18, 2007 11:44 pm

Well, no BB here at the Livonia TRU.

I checked there today, too. They're looking pretty low on almost everything. Also, I'm wondering if there'll be any point in checking Wonderland Target from now on. I saw the signs indicating that they're closing for the move on the 25th. I doubt they'll be doing much restocking.

found FAB frenzy blackout and megs last night at the target by my work. on grabed frenzy. i still am not buying those FABs. i just cant do it. i also saw those prime unleashed statues at the macomb TRU. its nice but i cant buy it

Thu Jul 19, 2007 9:02 am

Well, finally found Arcee and Dreadwing today, 2 each, 1 each are reserved for TT, unless he turns them down. If he doesn't want them, I'll take whomever is next in line. 2 each of those means that there were 4 BBs put out, they had absolutely none when I got there.

Either some reseller got there earlier, or the employee took them, wither way it's BS because they just put them out this morning...

I really wish that these retail employees would stop justifying doing this because they need to "pad" their income...gah I hate that guy. He even had the gall to give me a pissy look when I picked up the other two...

Poor ol' TFMaster would be freaking out not being able to find these BBs, I wish I was still with us, but I'm strangely glad that he's not here to see the competition go up 500%.

And, Drive-By, where are you?

News Credits: 2 · Thu Jul 19, 2007 9:13 am

The glut of new collectors / scalpers focusing on TF’s is getting pretty freaking annoying. Hopefully increased interest will be a positive (more selection, larger quantities available.) But in the meantime, the inability to find a general release toy is ridiculous. Seeing the preview of the BB 2 pack is nice, since it’s a Target exclusive, there will be a ton of them.

Thu Jul 19, 2007 11:09 am

Agreed. It isn't so much all the new fans that bothers me, but the scalpers taking advantage of them. I guarantee that whoever bought all those BBs today went straight home to throw them on ebay...with all of the other retard pseudo-capitalists.

They need to do a couple of solid-case shipments in order to offset this BS.

Anyway, saw the new GI Joe Adventure Teams a at the DB TRU, Recondo and Storm Shadow, one each are left. Recondo is actually quite a nice figure, even if his gator-buddy is just ok. They also had the new Heavy Metal Snake Eyes, two of them, which I left.

They also had yet another case of Cybertron Deluxes put out, plus the WW TIT6 Op/Meg set, one Classic Jetfire still, and plenty of the Blackout/Scorponok sets. Happy Hunting.
