I ran out to the Okemos TRU today hoping to catch some exclusive G.I. Joe's or some Halo 3 stuff.

I should have known better, it's the Okemos TRU. It's a toy wasteland. It's completely worthless. I hate the Okemos TRU so much, you have no idea!

Livonia TRU has 3 each of the Ty Cobb & Gary Sheffield McFarlanes. It looks like they got in full cases of each. Nothing else of note, even though they were pretty well stocked in TF & Joes

Sorry to hear about all of the bad weather everyone's been getting. However, on a positive note, there IS another xtravacon being held this sunday, if I read the 'site right. And I'll FINALLY been in town to check out one of these shin-digs.

Gah! Must have just missed this. I just got back... I'll be back up there in a couple days, though, so I'll take a look then?

My eternal love for you depends on it. (Translation: I just thought I'd ask, don't give it another thought. )

You have a Jolt. Do I get half of your eternal love?

Good thing I got my preorder in last night. They've raised them to $19.99 today.

Today...was...AWESOME! I went to the Autorama and met Bumblebee and took some really fun pics XD Here's a few highlights

Dad taking a pic of me with Bee while I got an official photo taken (for $5, but that's not too bad since I got to stand right next to Bee and I had my hand on his door, hehehe).

Yes, I brought both Bee toys with me.

Bee, Bee, and...Bee!

Some interesting artifacts from the movie.

And the highlight of my day cuz I got away with it XD

Whee!!! There's more pics HERE.

Hey, because I keep forgetting, I thought I'd post this in case any one else forgets. Tonight we have to move our clocks 1 hour ahead for Daylight Savings Time. It's really early this year. the good thing about this is.. even if the guy that opens the doors at xtravacon shows up late again, he won't be very late :grin:

At least I don't have to worry about that this time. You guys will have a new neighbor. I just decided not to go and be unproductive and spend $50...

Don't get me wrong the 'con has treated me alright, but I'm running out of things people want, and I am not buying more stock to replenish, it gets too expensive.

Enjoy your time though.

are you still going to come and visit though?

News Credits: 5 · Sun Mar 09, 2008 6:58 am

Ugh. Screw Daylight Saving Time! I'm happy enough wasting my daylight and getting another hour of sleep! Plus, I think I'm still a little drunk! Today should prove interesting at any rate. As always, see youse guys and gals at the con! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, first pictures of your new toy mint in package!

Todd, here's that Star Wars parody I mentioned earlier. It was on a different board. "You swing too hard, ass! I swear!"

Wow X-travacon flew right by. I unloaded a good bit, and had fun meeting Jimotron and ChZuck, ans BS-ing with Deep Water and her man, Highbeam, and all the other regulars.

Got some goodies today:

E-hobby Magnificus and Gamede($65!)
Loose/Mint RID Optimus Prime
L/M BW Grimlock
L/C/NM G1 Hotrod
L/C/NM G1 Doublecross
WM Exclusive Jolt(Thanks Deepwater!)

Enjoy the Joes, Chad! Glad to finally get them the hell out of here.

Enjoy your new Sixshot, RC13! And I hope that Highbeam has fun with her new picture-baby.

We missed you TT, Laura, and noob, lots of TF-fans hanging around, it was so bad, the other geeks were making fun of our little nerdfest. :oops:

Good to hear the numbers were high, and that people made some dough.

I did see GI JOE 25th Armored Cobra Commander and IG Destro, as well as, Cobra Troopers, Rock N Roll, Torpedo at the Target in Northville/Livonia (Haggerty and 8 mile/7 mile).

So anyone in the Canton area found the Walmart Exclusives yet? I wanted to get Jolt and Big Daddy.

The Jackson Wal-Mart ended up getting the exclusives. They had plenty of Jolt and Big Daddy but they only had one Grindcore left when I got there. I picked up a 2nd Big Daddy and Grindcore.

They also had The Final Battle Robot Heroes sets but not really much else. I found my 9th Crimson Guard there but they didn't have anything else left from wave 5. A couple of wave 1 2008 TAC figures that I picked up. It's been pretty dry in Lansing, I can't remember the last time I found something really worth buying here.
