I would like ask something of everyone. While you are out collecting could you please please donate a new unwrapped toy or give a donation to Toys for Tots. Michigan esspally is in dire need of toys to give to less fortuneate children. So much they might not have enough to pass out.
Please help us not let not one child be forgotten this christmas. Call your local branch and ask what you can do to help.

Many of us have already shared that we have donated or will. My wife and I donated quite a lot last weekend, but it is truly a worthy cause.

So Andrew, any good b-day evening stories?

I actually helped organize the troops at work and we were able to pool enough to adopt two families. Also, taking a less direct approach, I personally donated a bit to the local Goodfellows. I still plan on giving something to Toys for Tots. I may do it when I go hunting later today.

None that I can remember...

I slept until 11:30 today.

Not much I'm looking for right now, don't know if I'll do any hunting today. I'm trying to avoid the Holiday crowd as much as possible.

I picked up the ARC-170 Elite Squad Battle Pack at Target last night and then a SWTF Luke Skywalker / Snowspeeder and Boba Fett / Slave I today.

I came >< close to picking up the Commander Cody Turbo Tank, it looks so damn good in bot mode on the package. I still have not seen the AT-AT Driver though

well, since we're having such lovely weather outside, I'm staying in for the evening. I decided to get some large boxes and put all of my smaller toy boxes in them. I now have much more room in my toyroom closet and there's no danger of an avalanche when I open the doors. I also got all of my beast wars toys organized earlier in the week. After rearranging a bunch of stuff, I only have Alt Nemesis Prime and GalaxyForce Prime in a spot I don't want them to be. but to put them where I want them, I'd have to completely redo my Primes. I'm not ready to do that yet well, I'm off to make some dinner and then just watch TV tonight. Hopefully the weather clears up for my flight to Hyannis tomorrow. or they'll just flat out cancel the flight and not delay it at all


or maybe they'll cancel my trip altogether

Oh yeah, thanks for all the credit on the hook up of those totally awesome boxes that saved you from the horribly embarrassing death by "Toy-Box-Avalanche"

Man, I was getting all geared up for a run on these life saving boxes and haven't gotten one request all day. Maybe I'll have to start booby trapping people's toy rooms

Picked up SWTF AT-AT driver, and SWTF COmmander Cody. Both are really cool, if you don't look at them from the back. The AT-AT is not as bad as it looked in pictures. YOu can actually pull the cockpit head forward so it has some neck. Not much articulation in the neck, but it looks a LOT better!

Also grabbed a TARGET exclusive Tie Bomber and 25th Lady Jaye.

This weather we have been having today is just insane: snow, ice, rain, thunderstorms, and it is supposed to snow again overnight.

I just heard that the Battle for the Allspark (or whatever they're called) movie figures were spotted at the Dearborn TRU today. I haven't been able to confirm that, though. I was just there yesterday and they had nothing.

well, I'm out in hyannis, MA. My hotel is nice and it's about a quarter of a mile from a Toys R Us. there is also a Newbury's Comics right next to it. they were closing up when I got there, so I didn't get much of a chance to look around. I'll have to go back tomorrow. TRU was well stocked, but nothing new. I also stopped at a Kmart... wont' stop there again. it was terrible. I also found out that Magners Cider(which I've only ever had in ireland) is distributed here. I'm very happy about that

Hey RC13, thanks again for the Cyb Starscream!! Took me about 5 mins to figure out his alt mode, which is freaking huge! In bot mode, he was almost too tall for my shelf, LOL! That just makes him more awesome :3

Pic!!

Great picture! I'm glad you like the him. I believe you will give him a good home

Thanks for the heads up Magnus! I went over there today and scored Deluxe Landmine...it was the only one that they had left. No Camshafts, Cliffjumpers, or BBs, surprisingly.(Who the hell bought Camshaft over Landmine??)

Anyway, glad they still had one left. No AS Voyagers, just a regular V. Prime, and Ratchet/Thundercracker. As for Deluxes, they had one each: 09 BB, Barricade, Recon Barricade, Arcee, Skorponok, FB Jazz, plus the usuals, left. Tons of FABs as well(got BB for my nephew). They also have a complete set of new Sig 6.

The Allen Park Target has a ton of Voygagers: Prime, Megatron, Ironhide, Blackout, R. Ratchet, Thundercracker. They also have a ton of Robot Replicas, Prime, BB, Barricade, etc. They also have new Sig 6 except for D. Ninja Master.

Happy hunting!

well, I explored around hyannis a bit more. I also stopped back at TRU. no all spark stuff yet. I went to the Cape Cod Mall that is right next to my hotel. they had a kaybee inside. I didn't look carefully, but I think they had two sets of the micromaster aerialbots. they also had some of the minibot key chains. I finally got Windcharger! I've never seen him in a store before. they had one left and 3 cliffjumpers too.

I spent my lunch hour changing a tire I blew a tire on my rental car. unfortunately I didn't realize I had the number for Hertz's roadside assistance in the car so once I got the tire changed, I went back to the office and called hertz. they set me up with a different car. So I went from driving a Ford Fusion to a Toyota Corolla

hopefully I'll be okay with this one.

I snagged the AT-RT Assault Squad Battle Pack tonight at Target.

Target in South Lansing had 1 Concept Snowtrooper. Kmart in South Lansing had 7 Concept Snowtroopers.

I left all of the Snowtroopers.

Take some deep breaths TT and forget you read this, just back away from the computer, it will be alright I promise. Andrew and I can stop by and help if you start to get the shakes. You have enough Snowtroopers

Sing it: I'm an A-Hole

I do have enough snowtroopers, you are right!

Got my first technical foul as a coach or a player last night...last night was as a coach. It's an interesting and embarrassing feeling, even though I know what I was saying was correct.

Ha! I have enough too, I'm up to 8 and there are so many other things I would rather spend the money on.

I think my girlfriend picked up the Ultimate Battle Packs for Christmas because I'm not supposed to buy them.

There are plenty of other Battle Packs I need still, plus carded Star Wars, G.I. Joe and SWTF/Allspark Power Transformers!

Damn toys are killing me!

Where did she find the Battle packs?? I want a couple of those.

The Ultimate Battle Packs? I have seen them at every Target between here and Jackson. The AT-RT one I bought last night I saw a couple at the West Lansing Target and one at the Okemos Target.

Duh...nevermind. I thought that you meant the TF Movie "Battle Packs". Cold makes me stupid...

I was wondering about that.. you had said you were done with star wars I'm going to hit a Target and Walmart in Wareham, MA tonight. BSG: Razor comes out on DVD and I have $10 gift card for target. hopefully I might find a few other things that will be easy to get home on a plane
