It's a troop builder and cool design, so I imagine these will be much harder to find than the Chewbacca or Boba Fett that are coming out later.

I noticed prices were higher closer to the Grand Rapids and Birch Run area. I saw several 6" RiD Optimus Prime, Starscream, Rodimus, Soundwave, .etc at different locations and the were all $17.99. Classic Voyagers were $24.95, even the Cybertron Thundercracker I picked up on Friday was $12.99 at Kmart in Ionia.

It was so weird how they jacked the prices way up from MSRP in those areas.

Hi guys

Just wanted to let everyone know that TFM's funeral is tomorrow. It runs from 11a-6p, I'm taking a half day tomorrow, so I'll run home, change, and head there.

I'll post the address tonight so if anyone wants to go pay their respects. I know that it is in Westland, of Glenwood, off of Wayne Rd., just to get an idea. I have the rest of the address at home.

Have a good day all.

well, I tried to post this earlier, but seibertron.com ate my post... we'll try this again.

I was out and about last night. Nothing really of note except for a new Spider-man 3 figure. they had 3 of the same at the Westland Target. It comes with a venom figure/base and venom ooze. pretty much the same slime stuff that came with the ghostbusters figures and I think a he-man thing. the figure is the smaller size, about 5-6" as opposed to the 8" ML size figure. I was hoping this would be the case.. I wanted a black costume spidey in scale with my regular spider-man 2 movie figure. Oh well..

Remember, Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 8 #1 comic comes out today! Get it while you can!

I think I may have hit a small motherload. Today at work one of my coworkers jokingly told me to clean up my room aka my desk. So he walked down the hall and told my mom about it. (Yes I work with my mom.) Somehow she told them I have a Transformers collection. This really isn't a secret since I have a Hot Rod bust on one of the monitor at my desk. So I was offered today a box of Transformers for $20. He told me that a couple of the figures were Jetfire, Starscream, and Metroplex. Another guy heard him and asked if I wanted to buy more. I can't wait to see what they bring in.

Good luck, it's always nice to hear when people actually don't have to pay collector's prices for items that they find valuable.

found TIT starscream rodimus and rid prime at TRU last night. but only grabbed starscream

Wed Mar 14, 2007 7:00 pm

Well, came back to post the address, but it's already in the News section.

Not much happening, kind of laying low. I'm taking a half day tomorrow so I can pay my respects to Bill. Boon will be joining me, anyone else is welcome.

I haven't done much this week as far as hunting, I did pick up an extra ML 15 Wasp, Beat Ray Bill, and Captain Marvel for $5 each, just to throw into the trading bin. Also picked up Marvel Select Watcher at Comic City while picking up Toyfare.

There are some nice pics in this issue from the NYC Toy Fair. I have to have those 25th Anniversary Joes. I have never in my life seen such sculpting on a 3.75in fig. Just, sweet.

The only TF pics they added were Ultimate Bumblebee, the voice-changing helmet, and the Optimus Prime Blaster.

Well, not much else to say right now.

I stopped at belleville meijer tonight.. the had 3 ramjets.. there are two left. I grabbed another. they also had a grimlock and few cliffjumpers and mirages. nice to finally see classics at meijer. although, I've only seen them at the AA saline road and now the belleville meijer.

While I'm really trying not to get into the star wars action figures(it sucks when there are no new transformers) I am interested in a few of the new figures coming out. If anyone is on their rounds and comes across the new 30th anniversary figures, can you post it on here? I'm specifically looking for the Ralph McQuarrie Stormtrooper.

Also, on a completely unrelated note.. if you are looking for some new music, you should check out the new Blackfield album, Blackfield II. It's incredible. And it's available on iTunes. I can't stop listening to it.

What's a Ralph McQuarrie Stormtrooper? :???:

Every Meijer in the Lansing area has them, that's like um...5 of them.

It's based on the original Ralph McQuarrie designs. There are a few McQuarrie figures in the 30th Anniversary line including the Storm Trooper and Boba Fett.

If you wind up with anything extra, let me know. I could probably work out a trade or something at the next con.

Clearence-O-Rama! Wonderland Target had Cybertron Metroplex on clearence for $9.92. There was one left if anyone wants to go grab it. Farmington & 7-Mile K-Mart had Primus for $21. The box was a little torn up but, as far as I could tell, everything was in there so I picked it up.

I wish I could have made it. Yesterday got really weird for me, though.

My band is playing tonight and tomorrow night (St. Patrick's Day) at Breaktime Billiards in Novi if anybody would like to come and hang out. All the details are on the MySpace page in the "Upcomming Shows" section.

Hi all, been awhile since I reported some sightings:

Allen Park Target has 2 Classics Jetfires and a few Cliffjumpers, no Ramjets. Still 12 Magnus/Skywarp sets left. Looks like they cleared out all of their Cybertron except for the Deluxes, which were all that's left.

At the DB TRU, you'll never guess what I found, an ML Showdown Berserker Wolverine, case fresh!!! They also had the ML Exclusive Silver Wolverine, about 10 of them, I pickep up a couple. I didn't see any of the Diamond Emma Frosts...are those coming later noob?

They also had the Spiderman 3 Toys out, looks like the villians all come one per case(two versions of Venom, One Sandman, and one Goblin. As far as TFs, they still have all of the last Ultra Assortment(Sky Shadow/Cryo Scourge/Menasor), as well as 2 CD Red Alerts, one GF Vector Prime, and one Mudflap, 4 Metroplexes, and at least six Movie Primes(still marked at $89.99...), and very few Deluxes left, no Scouts.

Classics-wise they had nothing new, just some Wave 2 Minicons, a bunch of Mirages, and one Astrotrain.

I picked up DCH Doomsday repaint, the Spiderman 3 Villians, Silver Wolverine, and ML Showdown Berserker Wolverine and Ghost Rider(still need a Spider Sense Spider Man). At Target I picked up the DCH Batman/Batgirl two pack, there was only one.

Feels nice to post sightings and report some haulage. Tomorrow is tax day. :grin:

Fri Mar 16, 2007 12:08 pm

I was able to snag me a Classics Grimlock at the Edgewood Target here in Lansing. While normally that would be a great find, it's going to my cousin. ;p His birthday is coming up and he digs Grim.

Fri Mar 16, 2007 2:21 pm

yeah there have been several sightings of the new hasbro exclusives, but it doesn't look like it's hit michigan yet. technically i think the release date is the 23/24 of march so there's still time yet. TRU hasn't marked down ANYTHING! i did pick up an extra titanium RID prime if anybody needs one.

nice pickup on the batgirl 2 pack. batgirl is pretty cool in that line.

lost of everything everywhere transformers wise

if someone finds a $10 cybertron metroplex, i'd take one!!

News Credits: 2 · Fri Mar 16, 2007 2:37 pm

Wal Mart in Livonia has the Classics Ops / Megs Ultimate Battle Pack w/ 2 bonus minicons. They have about 10 left. Still priced at $20
