What a huge difference a lighter shade of red can make, right?

But the red and the orange is not realistic, so HASBRO won't do it.

The Allen Park Target still has canned TFs, at least four of each, no Barricades. They weren't on clearance, either, but they still had quite a bit of them. They also had one GI Joe Shark left, and several Order 66 packs still.

Saw the new DCU figs today at the Dearborn TRU, they only had the 2 Supermen(red/blue), no others. I want that Harley Quinn figure, my Batman collection has been so lonely without her!

Just wondering, who all is going to Comic Con next weekend, and which day(s)? I've never been to it and am curious if it's worth going to (instead of Ren Faire which starts next Saturday, heh). If I do go, I don't want to go by myself either since I'm not familiar with the place.

Jeez.. is that next weekend already? I was planning on going on saturday. I think Chad was too. Probably a few more people too. Let me know if you want to join us.

I didn't realize it was coming up so quick.

The premium deluxes, Salvage and Stealth 'Bee appeared at both local Meijers. A Salvage, Stealth 'Bee and Premicade came home with me.

Salvage is the only one out of his bubble so far and he's beautiful. Nothing will beat Dropkick's paint job, but Salvage's coloring is gorgeous and the spark blue isn't unpleasant.

I'll be 'chaperoning' a group from anime club on Friday at Motor City, if anyone will be around to say hi. I haven't decided if I'm going to try for a costume or not. ^_^

And Ironman was 95% awesome. (And 5% too much build up for too small a climax.)

I am also going Saturday. I'm not sure if Joe is coming with me, yet. Either way, we should all hook up for lunch at least.

I stopped off at the Livonia Meijer on my way home. A few items of note:
2 Salvage
3 Stealth Bumblebee
2 Premium Jazz
1 Premium Barricade

DCUC Wave 2:
2 Black Manta
2 Aquaman (1 of each)
4 Superman Red/Blue (2 each)
2 Ronnie Raymond Firestorm (Weird since Jason Rusch is on the back of the card)
1 Harley Quinn

I picked up the Harley Quinn in case you still need it, Andrew. The card is kinda messed up, though. Just let me know and she's yours if you want her.

News Credits: 3 · Thu May 08, 2008 11:52 pm

If anyone who's going to the Con next Saturday finds an extra Stealth Bee, could you pick one up for me? I'd appreciate it!

I can probably swing back around to Meijer tomorrow and grab one if they're still there. I'll let you know asap.

Yes! Thank you! :grin:

I'll be checking Meijer today at lunch...

Okay, went to Meijer in Allen Park, grabbed Stockade and Stealth BB, there were only one of each. One each Premium Barricade and Jazz remain, as well as one each Premium Ironhide and Blackout.

They didn't have any new DCU. They are still stocking wave 1 of the Legendary Comic Book Heroes, quite a bit of them, at least two full(Pitt) sets. For a discontinued line, I still see alot of those figures.

Allen Park Target had one each of Premium Blackout/Ironhide, nothing else of note.

Dearborn Target still has plenty of canned TFs, only 1 BB and 2 Barricade, about 4-5 of the rest.

Oh, and GM, if you want, you can keep the BAF Grodd piece out of the Harley Quinn, I don't need it, just my baby Quinn!

The appropriate response to that is, "A-OK, Mr. J!"

I know.. that really only makes sense in my head..

You are correct, that is the perfect response. She does look really cool with the way they have her standing on Grodd in the package.

Fixed.

No premium deluxes or stealth BB or salvage in the AA area. I did find a new Star Wars comic pack at Carpenter Road Target. Kir Kanos and Carnor Jax from Crimson Empire. I thought those were Starwars shop exclusives. I grabbed one. there's still one more.

The more I think about it, the more I like the sound of this deal. If I've done my math right and I pick up the whole set with all the variations, all I'll need is an extra torso and whatever piece comes with Black Manta to build a second Grodd. Pretty much all of the rest of what I saw was still there with the exception of one of the Superman Reds. Somebody had hidden the Aquamen.

I ended up picking up a Stockade and Arcee at Livonia Target. That $6.99 price tag was a bit hard to resist.

My Fiancee suprised me for my birthday with all kinds of goodness. I got Grand Theft Auto IV for the 360, Metal Gear Solid 4 (Limited Edition) pre-order, SDCC Alt. Nemesis Prime and the Galactic Heroes Millenium Falcon!

Then we went to Meijer and being the whore I am I picked up Premium Barricade, Jazz along with Stealth Bumblebee and Salvage.

News Credits: 194 · Sat May 10, 2008 2:40 pm

happy birthday, Kranix!

I saw about 7 stealth BBs, 3 salvages and 3 each of premium jazz and barricade at Canton Meijer around 2:30 today.

I snagged the Premium Leaders at TRU today using 2 of the $5 off $25 coupons. Good weekend

Belleville Meijer has one Salvage and Stealth Bee right now (just got back from there). The Westland TRU had some premium Megatrons and Primes, amongst other things, and KB's is having a "sale" (aka their stuff is more normally priced) on some of the movie figs, but other than the Energon ones they still have, there's nothing noteworthy.

I oogled the Stealth Bee a few mins ago, and can't wait to get my hands on mine next Saturday :grin:

I also wanted to steal the old Mazda RX-7 in the parking lot...(the link is to the model, not the actual one I saw today) *drools* I almost thought it was a Fiero from a distance...almost
