Today I found the TFA Grimlock activator at the Kohl's on Racho in Taylor. There's still one left, along with the rest of the wave. There were also as at least 2 Elite Guard bumblebee's, 2 Sentinel Prime's and a Swoop. Kohl's also had some universe and robot heroes that I didn't really investigate. The TRU on Eureka rd. in Southgate a 3 anniversary Prime's, a bunch of Unicron's, an universe Onslaught and a TFA Blitzwing.

On a personal note, between the animated and universe line, I feel like I'm stocking up for the long, cold summer of movie toys. I'm still kind of bitter that it took this long to resurrect the classics line because of the first Transformers movie...

If Kohl's would send me some more of those damn $5 off $5 or more coupons I would go look for some of those Activators. No way I'm going to pay $10 a pop for them, no matter how awesome they are!

I wasn't planning on going--didn't know about it until you mentioned it.

I should sell again, and make some $$$ for the baby, but I'm not organized enough...and I'm worried about the economy, and how it will effect the collectors.

Couple things... Kohl's for new wave of Animated Activators. The toys are on sale right now, so they end up being about $6.50 or so, I think. I got Megs and Grimlock today, at Ford Rd. Kohl's.

2nd- Target is now selling deluxe Transformers for like $7.79 -- I think. Ford Rd. Target had the newest wave, but no Ironhides. Plenty of Acid Storm, Sidewsipe, and Silverstreaks. NO new Animated when I was there this AM.

News Credits: 194 · Sat Nov 15, 2008 6:44 pm

found the new target exclusive animated 3 packsvat carpenter road target. They have two of each. Chad also picked up the gijoe ultimate battle packs you need the dpcu to get them

Same thing at Livonia Target along with plenty of Wave 3 Activators.

i think seibs is acting funny again. i keep having to log back in after every post. and i missed all the updates after my last post. i hope you guys had a good time at the con.

News Credits: 194 · Sun Nov 16, 2008 8:18 pm

well, the xtavacon was pretty fun. I picked up a G1 Gears from Tony, energon bulkhead from Joe, 2 G1 Hun-grrs from another dealer(he was selling both for $5. One has stickers, but is beat up pretty bad, the good doesn't have many stickers) and I also go two Ultra Magnus missile launchers from him. :grin:

Now I have missile launchers for my shadow commander. just need to paint them black.

Taylor WM has a couple each of Wave 4 Animated Deluxes, Sentinel, Swoop, Elite BB. They also had the Wraith wave of GI Joes, at least one of each, and a box of their Exclusive MLs, everyone except Kang and Crossbones.

Yesterday I saw some of the latest wave of GI Joe at the Allen park Target...Airborne, Pilot Scarlett, and Cobra Flint. I left them, but they are probably gone by now.

I hate the cold.

picked up the dirge roadbuster 2pack at ford road target. Still a springer there. They have more in the back but wouldn't bring out a dirge for chad. Went to Westland, they had them in the back. Chad hot a dirge. According to website most of the other targets in the area have them.

News Credits: 194 · Tue Nov 18, 2008 11:33 pm

Opened up my Dirge and Roadbuster. They are awesome. the paint apps are really really good. it's interesting that dirge and roadbuster come with a comic that features springer and ratbat. wonder if it's the other way around for the other pack. overall, I'm really impressed with these figures.

News Credits: 194 · Tue Nov 18, 2008 11:39 pm

I forgot to mention the Ford Road Target also had the 25th anniversary Primes, the new Movie Two packs with the repaints of voyager megs and prime, both legends 5 packs and the new animated 3 packs.

yes they are. hasbro screwed up the comics. on other websites people have said as much.

Just to let everyone know, here is a link that JTKranix showed me where you can search to find if any Targets in the area have the Universe two packs. they don't have the "find it at a Target store" button on the items, but someone found a way around that.

http://www.target.com/gp/store-info/fin ... B0017MX4HG

Looks like all the Targets in the Ann Arbor/Canton area have them except for Ann Arbor/Saline Road Target. Canton Target on Ford Road doesn't seem to like Chad and I. It's the second time they wouldn't go in the back to get something for us. The Westland Target did.

Wed Nov 19, 2008 10:45 am

That's because the Canton Target is run by a bunch of spoiled, pretentious, MTV-watching tweenies and suburban housfraus, who seem to resent that they have to work for a living.

Yes, I said it, and it's true. It's the same reason that they treat me like a shoplifter everytime I go in there. Their precious, little baby eyes can't handle looking at people who use their hands to earn a living. Dirt actually scares them.

Oh, did that sound judgemental? Tough.

Anyway, I should have went to Target yesterday. :-P

::EDIT:: The Allen Park Target was just putting up their endcap when I arrived. They put out everything, the Animated Exclusives, 25th Prime, etc. I scored one of each Comic set, and one of each Legends 5-packs. They had One each of the Comic packs left, and at least 2 each of everything else. This was all about 1/2 hr ago.

The employee, Barb, was very nice to me, and even talked to and tolerated me hovering over her while she opened everything.

I stopped at Livonia WalMart earllier today and they had the Wave 4 Activators, the Wave 2 Universe Robot Heroes and the Animated Legends. I also found Riddler and Black Lightning from DC Universe Classics Wave 5. I'm going to have to ask everyone to keep a look out for these for me as I think this is a WalMart exclusive wave.

I forgot to mention this here last night, but I found TFA legends boxed in the same package as the Universe Legends at the Belleville Walmart. Did they get really lazy on packaging or what?

I bought Prowl. Just took this pic with my phone.

And I took this one in the store yesterday of the lil Bee.

And just because I'm posting pics of TF's...

He totally stole my dorito...

i found that $65 GI joe battle pack thingie. the red hiss tank and blue trouble bubble look awesome. the rest i was like 'meh'. i did pick up the springer/ratbat 2pack though.i am getting sick of all the f@#king repaints. hasbro needs to give us some new molds and not fillers. the lazy bastards.
