Well, that'll certainly wake me up.

Maybe I'm too much of a pervert

but I still don't understand the NSFW tag on those pictures. Nothing shows and its not much worse than a very small swimsuit in my opinion.

I'm not saying its not a very very nice picture though =P~

Umm, I'm not sure what pictures you were viewing, but the ones I was viewing on AICN were full torso new-di-tee! :grin:

most employers would probably consider a very small swimsuit NSFW. Comic book stores on the other hand.. well, that's like 75% of comic covers

Who have thought that such a ridiculously hot female would actually have the last name "Fox"...

Meee-ooow.

Anyway, I found the rest of the Wave 7 Joes today at the DB TRU. There was one each Wild Bill and Spirit, two Vipers, and plenty of Snake Eyes v.4 left after I raided the place. Happy Hunting!

She actually has those "Nipple Band-aids" on for lack of the actual term. My wife uses them all the time when she dresses as a wench for the Ren-Fen. They are skin colored so they aren't very visible but if you look they stick out like... a sore thumb

My collection of affordable LioConvoys is now complete!!! :grin:

BBTS had one, count that, ONE, Robotmaster Black LioConvoy in stock for $39.99. I was able to snag it. I'm geeked now. :grin:

I now have all the ones I can afford. the other LioConvoy repaints out there were all lucky draws and stuff. Those will remain forever out of my collection. I mean, Genghis Khan and the Flying Yakuza had the purple and black LioConvoy for $1800 at Botcon! :shock:

Definitely won't be getting that one.

Do you know how much whining I'd have to hear from Chad if I bought an $1800 LioConvoy instead of using that money to buy him a Japanese Boxed Fort Max with a Sword? I'd never hear the end of it!

Highbeam.. I saw a car hauler full of brand new corvettes heading east on 94 at about 8:10am. You may still have time to catch it! :grin:

I did get one Cobra Viper from Chad last night. It's an awesome figure, but "the goggles do nothing!" the goggles on the helmet fall off quite easily. And, I'd never thought of it, but our friend Dave pointed out.. why do Vipers need goggles?

Wow.. I clicked ship my loot at BBTS last night and it's actually going out today! lately I've been having it sit in the warehouse and extra day. Hopefully that means I should have my 2nd revoltech Hot Rod, Starscream Coronation gear, Henkei Astrotrain and Robotmasters Black LioConvoy on monday! :grin:

So, rumor has it they're desperate for dealers at the con this weekend. From what I've been told, I could show up with $300 and get a booth. Oh so tempting....

News Credits: 194 · Thu May 15, 2008 1:26 pm

well, considering how much they are charging dealers.. I'm not surprised. I don't know if it has to do with being at Rock Financial, or if it's just MCConventions, but this is the MOTORCITY COMIC CON!! not Wizard World Chicago!

I got 4 Rescue Doc's in the mail today. I'm pretty happy, the shipping boxes were all dinged (USPS rules) and 3 of the 4 Joe Cases (tm) were dinged as well but all 4 have perfect looking cards and bubbles.

You guys need to stop stealing them all!!! Save some for the rest of us...

BTW, I do not think I will be attending the CON Saturday. Laura is taking a class, and with it sounding like nobody is buying up dealer tables (no surprise there), and the high price of admission, and the fact that I have spent enough money on Ebay this month... I think I am passing.

On Ebay, I bought a MISB Skygarry for $230 shipped, a G1 Snarler MIBC, and one of the japanese individual headmasters (Loafer-- two left to go-- and all the white versions).

Have fun those that go. I'm going to stay home, check papers, read comics, and maybe the new SW Legacy book, if I go get it-- it did come out this week didn't it Todd?

the last Legacy of the Force book did come out this week. Borders had it at 30% off. I don't know how long that lasts, but probably through the week.

Hey, I'm not stealing Vipers! that's the first one I found in stores. It's Chad!!! He's the Viper hog!

Tony, who did you hear this thing about the dealer tables from? I'm sure the con will be fun. They still have a bunch of guests listed. Hopefully there will be a lot of folks in costumes so I can get pictures! :grin:

I got it second hand from the owner of Back To The Past who heard about it from the guy that owns Big Ben's.

I stopped by Livonia Meijer on my way home from work tonight. I think I've confirmed that the night they stock toys is the same day I get paid. Hooray! They had one each of Premium Ironhide and Premium blackout on the shelf along with three Premium Bumblebees. They also had an unopened case marked "TRA MOVIE VOYAGER ASST WV 3 08" which I'm assuming is two more Blackouts and Ironhides.

All of the DCUC Wave 2 figures were gone except for one Superman Red. I wish I had actually had some extra money last week when they had them all. I'm going to have to call out the troops (that's you guys and gals) to be on the lookout for a long-haired Aquaman and a Jason Rusch Firestorm for me, please. The pictures of Waves 4 and 5 in the new ToyFare have me extremely excited about this line now. They haven't quite topped the line-up for Wave 3 but they look so good. Unfortunately, it seems Wave 5 will be a Wal-Mart exclusive. Thankfully, it looks like there won't be any variants. I'm hoping I can get my hands on the SDCC exclusive Lobo. He comes with 3-D glasses!!!!!

I think this bodes quite welll for me. I might have to put my extra set up on eBay soon. There's a guy here on the boards who has PM'd me about it but thinks $300 is too high.

Also, Revoltech Magnus and the new Back To The Future Minimates are in at BBTS! Hooray-and-a-half!

Thanks, and congrats to you, too, and everyone else.

I just thought of this...made me chuckle...so I thought I'd post it really quick:

Triumph by Confusion

So, the Motocity comicon is this weekend...is anyone interested in getting a group together to go? Say, Saturday? (I work 'till 5 on friday, and it's a 2 hour drive for me)
