Only if Megatron is a fan of Cool Ranch

Who isn't?

I sold him because I was unable to satisfy his snack food needs. He didn't agree with me when I said Transformers don't need food...I'm such a fool sometimes.

I'm so happy with the Target comic sets, they are some of the best repaints of the best figures ever.

He is quite a high maintenance 'con. I don't think the 'bots approve, hehe. Neither do I when snacks "mysteriously" go missing....

I'll be heading out to Westland tomorrow for some shoppin'. Whoo!

Hey Everyone,

For those of you who remember Kevin of Mirages Boxes, he has just opened up a new site called bubbleformer. He makes the bubble inserts for G-1 boxes. He has a limited inventory right now but is expanding it daily.

He is one of my best friends so help support his newest project

I stayed at his place in Iowa for a week in September and witnessed the early stages of this project and all I can say is SWEET!! I have a ton of empty G-1 boxes in need on some bubble loving. TT and Andrew, I really see you guys being interested in this

His website is:

http://www.bubbleformer.com/

Check it out!

TT, if you would like to newsify this, Kevin would probably appreciate it (though he didn't ask).

Thanks everyone!

Chad

I picked up the Target Animated 3-packs at 8 Mile & Haggerty last night. One of the Ratchet packs had a Starscream figure with a missing arm. They had all the current exclusives out on a back end cap except for the comic 2-packs.

I ventured all the way out to Belleville to hang out with a friend so I stopped at WalMart to check for DCUC Wave 5. No luck on that front but I did find the super rare torn up packaging Movie Evac that was broken into four pieces so I bought it and buried it in the back yard so I can dig it up and sell it in 20 years when it'll be worth $27,884.92. It's just a hunch but I think it's a pretty good one.

Got the Wave 2 G1 Robot Heroes today, at the Michigan Ave Target, as well as doubles of the Comic sets. Other than the Robot Heroes, they have plenty of everything left.

They had a few of the Target Exclusive MLs left, including the Wolverine and Spiral variants, and Union Jack. There wasn't a complete set, just most of them. Also there were plenty of Hulk MLs, minus Savage She Hulk.

I saw the GI Joe Battle Pack finally at the Canton Target, there were 2 of them. They are really nice, but I'm holding strong and managed to leave without one.

I guess the Combiners have been spotted as well, but I didn't see them out yet.

I managed to spend about $200 on the exclusives on Friday.

Comic Two-packs
aerial rivals
special teams leaders
Gi Joe thing
Both Animated 3 packs


I really do not enjoy shopping at this time of the year. Too many people.

Chad, I'll look to see if someone snuck in and found it, and if they didn't I'll newsify Kevin's item.

Spotted in the US? Singapore has them and 25th WAVE 1. Which means we should see them soon.

My mistake, I confused the Legends Team Leader set for Superion(there's an article on TFormers)...it's amazing how blind desire can make me.

Target officially now gets the best Exclusives. Even the Legends rock.

Ford Road Target in Canton had two of the GI JOE ultimate battle packs this afternoon. no TF comic packs though

Thanks Matt!

I was wondering if anyone in the Oakland or Livingston county areas might be able to help me out.
I gots me a busted first run leader class movie Megatron (not premium)that I need to do a swaparoony on, but I can't find any of them around town.
Has anyone seen one of these at their local stores recently?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I just got a notice that my MP Thundercracker is in at BBTS! I think I will wait to ship it for a while though.

Just stopped at the Canton Target, they had the full Exclusive endcap available, Comic packs and all.

Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

As of Wednesday, Target on Van Dyke by the movie theater has the Roadbuster-Dirge and the Springer-Ratbat 2 packs, the Legends leader 5-pack, 25th Optimus Prime, Universe Stormcloud, & Universe Silverbolt among others.

The Target on Gratiot(Roseville) has JACK!

I am officially calling off the search for DCUC Wave 5. Livonia Walmart had a fresh case out on the pallet tonight. They were putting out a LOT of stuff tonight. Nothing really new TF-wise. Just a bunch of Wave 3 Universe and Animated cases.

from the target at 11 and dequinder i picked up the aerial rivals 5pack earlier this week on wensday. they also had several GIjoes from wave 10 and 11(i think) but there wasnt any wraiths or cobra flints. just a bunch of cobra troopers and airborne and the blue and white scarlet. what sucks is that that target coupon for $10 off a TFA leader class is expired and i never saw any but bulkhead. now i bet next week i will find ultra magnus there. it pisses me off.

Went out to eat for the::ahem::34th Anniversary of my existence in human form. Beforehand I hit a few of the local stores, didn't see much except plenty of Wave 2 Robot Heroes and Wave 2 Universe Deluxe.

I also saw the new Activators at the Van Buren WM, they looked nice, but it is so hard to pay $9 for those when Deluxe is under $8, so I left them. At the Livonia WM, I saw 2 of the new GI Joe Comic packs, CC/Gung Ho and IG/Viper, and lots of the Wraith Wave of Joes. I saw a lot of those in general today, at both WM, Target, and Westland TRU, and a few of the new Vehicle wave.

As for gifts to myself(besides dinner): The Target Exclusive Battle Pack(I just had to have that MOBAT) and some WM Exclusive MLs.

happy birthday. try kohls for the activators. they are like $6-$7 if on sale.

Thanks guys. That long weekend sure went fast.

I stopped at the Taylor WM today, the only sighting of note was that they had TONS of Wave 2 Universe Deluxes, both in the isle and on a pallet display just down from the toy section. I've never seen so many Ironhides in one place-it must be a new case assortment, Ironhide comes 2 per case now. It's the place to go if you still need Ironhide, Sideswipe, and Silverstreak.

Oh, and they had 2 each of the Wave 2 Robot Heroes, and a lot of Wave 4 Animated Deluxe.

I need to solicit a favor from my local collecting bretheren, I still need Crossbones from the WM ML Ares wave, I'll throw in a finder's fee for anyone that grabs him for me.

Belleville Meijer had a display full of Swoops, Snarls, Sentinel Primes, and Elite Guard Bee's right behind the video game section. Not where I expected to see them but whatever.

I got nothin' else Except that I wish Highbeam/my Jeep's 4WD didn't have problems disengaging. It's just that model year that had that problem too...meh, can't win 'em all I guess. Can't do donuts in the snow with faulty 4WD...not like I tried or anything...

So that was you, huh? You just about hit me.

What you talkin' 'bout Wheelie?

*cough* ^^;

Well, my MP Thundercracker and Ultra Magnus will ship today. Should have them Thursday or Friday, hopefully. I picked up Springer & Ratbat on Sunday. both are really nice. I think that's going to be it for a while on transformers. Need to save money for Christmas gifts and car insurance(boo, car insurance )
