Were they out of Jazz? or didn't you want one. Glad I could help!

man.. what a boring day.. I kinda feel like hunting.. but there's hardly anything I'm looking for right now. Oh, as of 7:45 last night, Novi TRU had 3 Jetstorms.

Picky eater...me not likey Movie Jazz toy.

Hope everyone did something nice for mom today.

Noooooooooooo!!! I just got a depressing email relating to TF stuff.. Well, depressing for me, but it's a lil heads up about TF2 also. One of my friends has connections with this guy at GM who got to drive the official Ironhide truck (from the movie) around whenever he wanted. He just got back from a biz trip, and I was hoping that sometime this month I'd be able to arrange to hang with my friend and get to go for a ride in the truck, n' stuff. Apparently that won't be possible anymore. Read on (note: UFO is a fencing organization; also, my friend tends to refer to the truck as a she for some reason ). Names have also been edited out with "---" instead.


"How are things going? Hope you had a good weekend and your mom had a good day today. Ahhh yeah for some heartbreaking bad news. I saw --- she owns UFO and runs it which is where --- brought up Ironhide. --- is now back from Australia. I mentioned to her asking --- to bring back up Ironhide because he told me when he got back he would try to bring it up. He found out she said that Ironhide has been sold to the actually movie producer of Transformers for the upcoming new Transformers 2 movie. So GMC no longer owns the actually truck or rights of Ironhide the movie producer does. So she is no longer in their care. Heartbroken I know I am because I wanted to sit in her again and have --- take us for a ride in her but long story short hon is he cannot at this point get her back. He said only 17 of them have been made. So I'm bumming. I'm sorry I know you really wanted to see her and believe --- was going to bring her back up but he has no control of this and its a big money maker for them so I understand. So we will have to live with the pictures we have and hopefully they will bring her back for display when the new movie comes out. Hugs hon sorry again about Ironhide I feel bad."

Target on Carpenter in A2 had tons of new stuff this morning. They had newer wave wave Star Wars, a bunch of Premium TF's, and some other stuff. The important stuff was the Joe's!

They still have 3 new Dukes, 3 Spirits, and 3 new Snake Eyes. No Wild Bills at all and I bought all the Hiss drivers and Vipers

That puts me at 17 Vipers to date, though Todd needs one of them because he can't find one himself

Oh yeah, since I haven't posted in a while, Happy Birthday JT

Hey guys I finally saw Ironman on "DVD" and will probably go see it foreal this weekend, haven't had too much time since my moms been sick. The best thing about that movie is the fact that we get Warmachine next time and possible avengers movie. Sweet!!!

Anyway I was out at Meijers on Dix and picked up Premium Blackout as he is the only one I've seen around. Not too much in my area yet except the KB Toys in Southland mall has Transformers on sale again and may put them on the 30% off in a minute.

Kmarts is going to have a buy one get one 50% sale on TF, so should I keep my Blackout or see what the local Kmarts have to offer?

Yeah, I saw those this morning at the Allen Park Target, but they only had like 8 Snake Eyes. Looks like they were the only ones put out, too. Effing retail employees...I got all excited when I saw Snake Eyes. Ah, well, next time maybe.

If I may solicit my buddies here, I'm still looking for the others from that wave. Hook a brutha' up if you can.

Greetings All!

Wow...been a while since I posted...had to finish up a whole lot for graduation (including a senior engineering project with some transformers-esque qualities), and took some time to breath. I am jealous of all who got to go to Botcon! My graduation ceremony was definitely over-rated.

Anyway, picked up a premium Prime and Megatron at the Kalamazoo Meijer. I think they may still have a couple left. However, I am debating between keeping them or doing a custom job on my Voyager class prime, similar to this guy here: http://www.angelfire.com/mech/jinsaotome/JinsDangerousToys/PrimeFB.html

Anyway, hope all are doing well!

Made a 25th Joe Wave 7 run before work today. After striking out at the Grand River, Haggerty, & Ford Rd. Canton Targets, I was able to pick up a set plus acouple extra Vipers, & Hiss Drivers. There was still everything left but Vipers & Drivers left after my pillaging.

17 Vipers!? – TFP you bastard

Most are I have to say. I too admire Jins work with the movie toys I really want to ask him if he does comission work. That Prowl he made from movie Bumblebee was too awesome.

To the point though I think if you're going to customize your voyager Prime get another voyager and keep the leader. I'd return leader class Megs cause I'm not to found of him and wouldn't feel like I'd missed out on anything but thats me.

I like to troop build

I actually picked up one more this afternoon while I was taking my mother out for a belated mothers day lunch.

I missed my window on Mothers day cards though (I tried to buy one this morning) and had to get her a birthday card and "edit" it

Todd, I just tried to call you... you didn't answer. Iron Man is pissed, just look at him

So that makes three of us who graduated this semester then. And now you know why I didn't attend my graduation ceremony Congrats!

Actually, Jin just made a journal about that topic the other day:

That made me think of this fanart I saw recently that I forgot to pass along for your amusement XD

Ah thanks that answers a lot. I myself though would be willing to shell out for some of his customs if he was willing to do it for me. If I thought I could somehow manage it on my own I would but I'm just that bad/cheap. I don't like the idea of taking a figure apart and possible not being able to put it back together.

Check this guy out as well:

Gotta love the use of Gundams.

man, I haven't checked out Botcollector in a long time. It has been updated a little since the last time I checked it out. (it had a comment about Bush winning the 2004 election up for about 3 years) I don't know if Christo is going to start full time again with this site or not. It would be cool. I got almost all of my Binaltech figures from him.

I did email him about a figure don't think I got a reply...ah well. I totally want some binaltechs and alternators but man those animated figures and classics are murdering my bank account.

I was able to locate Duke with flight pack, Commando (new), Wild Bill, and Spirit. This was at the Westland Target. They still had a couple of Commandos left.

No sign of any Cobras. Isn't Major Bludd supposed to be in this wave too? I think I actually have the whole set in my pile'o' loot at BBTS.

No Major Bludd in this wave. He and Wild Bill were supposed to be in the armored CC wave but were both delayed. Bill by one wave and Bludd by two waves.

Funny

I hit Ford Road Canton and westland Target, Canton Walmart and westland TRU. I saw 3 black snake eyes at the canton target, but that was it for joes. I finally found the Imperial EVO Trooper at walmart. they had two more, plus a bunch of jump troopers. that was about all I found tonight though.


Good Lord, Chad! Let me post. I've hit submit twice and each time it says that you've posted before I have and I should review what you said!
