Man, where the hell is my shipping email?!

Oh, BBTS has Sunstorm pre-orders up

Seacons are here!!!!!! I love the set. They look so awesome in the box, I dare say Funpub should make all their boxes this way...

NIghtbeat is blah. The comic is good, the box is cool, the figure sucks.

Hit the mother load today in terms of toys seen.

Picked up Stormcloud, Treadbolt, Animated Swoop and the Black headed Destro comic two pack variant.

In all (in only 3 stores) I easily saw over 40 Swoops and Sentinel Primes, at least 10 Stormclouds, and about 8 Treadbolts... also about 100 elite guard BB's and over 50 of the BB's three packs, but who cares about those

No Iron Hide's, Bluestreaks, or Sideswipes though :sad:

I still need those.

We are going to hit a few more stores in the morning

Congrats!

Whooo, I nabbed the last Sideswipe and Silverstreak from the Canton (Ford Rd.) Walmart :grin:

The Westland TRU had a couple Acid Storms (3 when I was there earlier), but nothing else new. Oh, that Walmart also had an Elite Guard Bumblebee.

Not so...I've decided to let you take the one I found. Whenever you want to pick it up, it's yours.

:grin:

If any of you guys happen to find another black headed Destro comic pack and you don't mind picking it up for me i'd love you forever.

I have only seen a half dozen or so of those and they were all the gold headed version.

Westland TRU had a few Crimson Guard and Green Shirt 5 packs. that was the only new stuff I saw there. On the way home the cops pulled me over for having a burnt out brake light. Gave me a ticket. Andrew helped me replace the light.(thanks!) and now I have to go to the police station to show them I fixed it. grrr.. guess they didn't have anything better to do today. :-x

Livonia Wal-Mart had six cases of Animated Deluxe Wave 4 and one case of Universe Deluxe Wave 3 out on the pallet tonight. I grabbed Swoop, Sentinel Prime, Ironhide, Silverstreak, and Sideswipe. They were still $7.77 so it was just about buy 4 get one free. Hooray!

Hit a few stores today, picked up the New Firebat and Claw/Fang 2 packs. I left the desert Awe Striker behind for now (two stores had about 10 of each between them... no Sharks though... curious :-?

)

Still no Sideswipe for me though

News Credits: 194 · Mon Oct 13, 2008 5:42 pm

I grabbed Bluestreak at the Ypsi Walmart. They also had 3 Sideswipes. Chad, I grabbed you a Sideswipe. Nothing else of note.

Argh!!! My Sentinel Prime has some pretty nasty "battle damage." :-x

Shouldn't he be nigh invulnerable?

Wow! that looks like someone took a nail or something and scratched it up. I don't see how that would have been manufactured that way. Are you going to take it back? Where did you find it?

My City Commander Armor will be here tomorrow!!! Along with my Nightbeat! It will be an awesome transformers day for me :grin:

And for Chad too. I have a Sideswipe for him and a Nightbeat and Seacons as well. Those Seacons are pretty cool.. maybe I'll tell him they didn't ship them yet :grin:

I found it at Livonia Wal-Mart. Not sure yet if I'm going to try to take it back there or try to contact Hasbro about it. Hassle or no, Hasbro should really be aware of this kind of thing, I think.

Found a Storm Cloud today at the Allen Park Target, just one. I wasn't too keen on getting him, but I grabbed him to keep sealed. he does have a pretty nice paint scheme...

Now Treadbolt, I do want that one.

Yeah, kinda makes me want to order another one

At least if they do Powered Convoy, I have my classics prime and henkei Convoy. Convoy would be prime and classics prime would be Powered Convoy. :grin:

We're on a roll! I got to newsify at least 2 Michiganders this week, and it just started. Congrats PQP, and RC-13.

I just went through and cancelled so many pre-orders, and now I start with these. I realized, I am ordering too many of each thing. Doubles is doing a double dip on me, hitting my wallet hard, and hitting my storage space hard. So my solution, no more doubles... unless, it is re-issue G1 I do not have, or a favorite/rare character.

Andrew, I get paid tomorrow so I can pay you and pick them up, maybe Friday? Or I can pay you now with Paypal, or a check.

Tue Oct 14, 2008 4:20 pm

Friday is great, TT.

Well, I'm back from Iowa

Stopped at one Walmart in Princeton Illinois on the way back and picked myself up an Ironhide and Bluestreak finally. Sorry Todd, they had 5 or 6 Bluestreaks and Sideswipes but only 1 Ironhide.

I asked for more but even in Illinois, you get the standard "everything we have is out"
