Well I finally found the freaking 2008 Star Wars figures and I have them all now except the Imperial Shadow Guard.

I snagged an Iron Monger and I think he's awesome. I am going to make him fight my ML Iron Man

Nothing new Transformers or Joe related. FYI I have seen the Wal-Mart exclusives at the Jackson and West Lansing Wal-Marts.

PM me about what ALTs you need, I have a few floating around here that are extra and MISB.

Wow, how GM, RC and I missed each other must have been amazing, because Laura and I were there last night around 7:30, and I guess I suck because I missed him too. I saw Offroad Ironhide, Evac, First Strike Prime, but I'll be damned I did not see any Premium Ironhides. :!:

Heh, RC13 beat you all to the punch because he rules.

Premium Ironhide is very nice, they way that he should have been painted in the first place. The intricate detail of the mold itself really shines though with all the added paint apps. He's still Ironhide, obviously, just much sharper-looking, and movie-accurate.

Hey! Give credit where credit is due buddy! RC13 only rules because I suck... well, err, wait, that didn't come out right, lets see... uhmmm

Had I not been swamped with homework, he would have been out with me, so technically you should thank me as well. Yeah, that sounds better

I found the Joe TRU 3 packs at the Ann Arbor store yesterday. I picked up the lone set along w/ an extra Fred / Scarred Cobra Comic Pack. They had 2 ea of the 5 packs & were fully stocked on comic packs 1-3.

by **Rijie** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 1:42 pm

I guess that I do owe tfpredaking thanks for kicking RC13 out so he could study.

I saw the new Joe 3 packs at TRU in Livonia, minus the one I really wanted, the Crimson Guard set--so I didn't buy any yet. No other TRU exclusives have made it to this area.

Found the Premium Leader Megs & Primes at the Marysville Meijer. Two Megs and one Prime left. ^_^

I need rid of my head cold/mongolian death plague. Going to Meijer (for something completely unrelated which they didn't have) totally did me in for the day.

Yeah, 1 of my remaining 3 group projects is imploding around me as we speak. Neither one of my group members has done anything. I don't want to embarrass myself next Monday during the presentation because it is in front of the dean, the assistant dean, and a bunch of faculty. I really don't care what my grade will be at this point as long as I pass without embarrassment. :sad:

Erp... Have you talked to the prof about the slacker? Even if the rest of your group acts like a bunch of incompetent morons, as long as you've prepared for it, you'll do just fine. Trust me, I've been in your situation loads of times, to different degrees.

You can do eeet!

PQP, sorry I totally forgot about the MP Starscream pics! I'll get right on that

Hang in there man. I've been in that situation a lot, too, and I despise group projects because of it. Just worry about yourself and do your part...it will be plain as day who contributed and who didn't. Besides, it's usually kind of fun watching them end up embarrassed because they didn't do their part! I've seen it happen so many times.

Thanks to RC13 again for the pickups!

Yellow gloved and collared booted is supposed to be the variant. It is the 'classic' version. At least that is what I remember reading.

Yeah, it's supposed to be but that's the only one I ever see.

Scored Premium Blackout today at the Allen Park Target, the only one they had. Didn't see Ironhide. No new Deluxes or Leaders, all the latest FABs were there, including "Rally Rocket" BB.

They also had Wave 3 Joe Comic packs, at least one of each. Plenty of Iron Man toys at the endcap. Happy Hunting!

Hang in there, Highbeam! :grin:

Yes, it is for real.

Nothing new at the Ypsi Walmart, as usual :/ Just a bunch of the first wave Allspark figures.

I wonder if the Belleville Walmart is EVER going to restock anything in their toy section... It's been like a month and I'm getting miffed at them for not restocking their model cars (or TF's). And they stopped selling the car display cases I was buying! Now where the heck am I supposed to find those *twitch*

...I'm ok O_o;

Happy April Fools Day, everyone (and by that, I do not mean that anything said above is a joke). Hope you don't get pranked too much

Oh, and on a totally random, unrelated note...Highbeam (the Jeep) finally has working power locks and windows again :grin:

I haven't been able to use a drive-thru restaurant in weeks, let alone swipe my parking pass without having to open the door!

Just had to share the good news
