That's what I think, but I didn't want to be accused of generalizing. The pics we saw are the reason that I didn't feel that I had to hurry over there when they opened...I figured that most stores would be overflowing with them.
No store should ever allow an employee to buy something before a customer does. It is simply bad business.

I don't know how true this is but a guy I know in Saginaw said his Best Buy told him they would get more on Saturday.

Yeah, it is dorky (I bought it), but it'll definately stand out in anyone's DVD collection
Ypsilanti Target restocked a whole bunch of Transformers, no doubt just for the movie:
Deluxe: Swindle (1), Dreadwing (5), Barricade (1), Recon Barricade (1), Payload (5), Bonecrusher (1), Dropkick (1), Wreckage (1), Longarm (2)
Voyager: Starscream G1 repaint (5) -- sale price $17.99
Scouts: Air Raid (4), Armorhide (1) -- sale price $7.19
FAB: Megatron (2), Blackout (1), Barricade (1), Bumblebee (1)
RR: Frenzy (2), Jazz (2)
Along with the movie waves of the 3" Titanium figs (on sale for $4.49), and the Robot Heroes

HA! Thats awesome! You can't miss them! Front and center!
I'll have to watch this carefully to see if I see myself or anyone else. I'm already immortalized on 2 of the Rhino cartoon season boxsets in the Botcon Coverage

Yay!. My ass is on a DVD. can't wait to see it 
I liked it better when I saw myself on the Serenity DVD.. oh wait, that was Joss Whedon.. who apparently really looks like me at a certain angle it's scary.
well, while all of you are happily and cozily snug in your beds, I'm sitting in Belfast International Airport waiting for my flight. Once again.. I got here WAY too early. It's 9am local time and my flight doesn't take off until 11:20am. But at least I have a dorky transforming DVD case at home to look forward to. oh yeah, and an Alt Nemesis Prime from Boon!!

Its Friday night while we were forming the end of the line for the store. You are there, but I think blocked by a guy. I was trying to spot your hat, but I couldn't stop laughing at Todd's behind

I went to the Livonia WalMart today and discovered something strange. They had a G1 Movie Starscream repaint. I figure it's an infiltration from the Target next door.

botcon could definitely take a book out of his customs page and make some really nice exclusives for next year. i mean ratbat works really bad, and the hot rod that he made out of the 74 (?) bumblebee was pretty cool as well.
