I've been searching for the new deluxes for weeks. The Targets, K B Toys, Walmart, etc. If anyone finds these around Metro Detroit or Allen Park let me know. After all this snow finishes I'll be on the lookout again.

BTW the K B Toys in Southland mall is closing so the entire store is 30% off and Transformers are buy 2 get one free. They brought out all their old movie stock (wave 1 & 2) and the old universe toys (Sharkticon, Steamhammer, Stormjet).

the toy sections of the local target and walmart are decimated as one would expect 2 days before christmas. i did see the target exclusive gijoe jets today though. i really was tempted to get the cobra rattler.

Well the Ypsi Target had those Universe two packs (Springer and Ratbat, and Roadbuster and Dirge), and the legends set that I really wanted to take home with me...

Also had the TFA packs with Rescue Ratchet and Stealth Lockdown. Nothing new other than those.

And donuts are way too much fun...

By the way, not sure if I should post this over on the movie forum or what, but on a TF note, GM's going to auction their museum cars which includes...

Movie Jazz (Solstice).

Which sadly means I may never see the car in person *pout* I'm still hoping the one guy gets 'Hide back after TF2's done filming......

Sorry for the slightly off-topic ness

I found Cyclonus!!!! And the rest of the wave. But more importantly Cyclonus. I found him tonight with my girlfriend on the way back to her house at a Wal-Mart in Clio. There were plenty left!

Merry Christmas, everybody! Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday!

Well it's official there is no way I'm going to Botcon this year. Which is a little dissapoiting since I heard rumors that it was going to be in Indianapolis and was starting to make plans. It was gonnat be the first convention for my brother and I, since we missed everything last year. Ah well.

Who here is actually going?

I picked up Cheetor and Hound at the Ludington Wal-mart. They had Starscream, but I left him. No Cyclonus :-(

I knew I should have gone out there yesterday, but I never got a chance. I'm sure I'll find him soon. Hound is awesome. cheetor is pretty cool too

by **DeepWater** » Sat Dec 27, 2008 5:05 pm

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday! I'll see some of you tomorrow at Xtravacon?

From my friend Matt, I received a G1 Reissue Dirge, a movie!Armorhide to paint into Motormaster to go with those Spychanger Stunticons I've been threatening to make, and the Energon DVD set (so I can finally see the ending)!

He got the Exclusive Universe Drag Strip from me, and I'll pick him up something tomorrow (he won't be able to make it).

I may actually be in costume this time around. ^_^

I'm so far behind on all the TF news... I suppose I'll have to start watching for Cyclonus.

News Credits: 3 · by **Highbeam** » Sat Dec 27, 2008 10:04 pm

There's a slight chance I may be able to make it tomorrow, but I'm not 100% sure. If I can go, I'll be there around 2ish.

I dropped by the Birch Run (since I was on my way back from Frankenmuth) KB's today and picked up this (I'm not sure which line it's from...) Barricade for $5. He's blue and looks kinda sorta like Onslaught. I never was gonna pay the $9.99 for it, but $5 I can handle

Even at 50% off all TF's though, their TFA wasn't cheap enough for me to consider buying Swoop yet...*spent too much this month...graar*

I was at the Allen Park Target on the Hill and there were litterally only one TF there. Walmart was wiped out along with every other store I happened to be at today. Having given up on shopping for myself I went to the Meijers for some groceries and found Cyclonus! Man he is one awesome toy! I got my brother Hound and the other boys some Animated and Universe stuff.

So to anyone on the lookout for these guys, Allen Park is where I found them. He is so sweet I'm getting the Henkei! version. I've never sprung for one before but can't resist this time. I'll wait for Starscream when I see him at Walmart for $7.77 cause $10.99 seems a bit much now.

I'm so cheap.

Westland meijer has the new universe deluxe fig's. about 3 of each left when I went.They were unloading about 6 palets more of toys so plenty more hopefully. My sister broke ravages leg off

Crap, I'm already in for the night or I would run out and grab those. I should be sleeping. Gotta get up in four hours for the con.

by **DeepWater** » Sun Dec 28, 2008 7:03 am

And... there's a huge tree down across my (dead end) road. I'm not going anywhere today. ^^;

I'll try to attend the next show, but can't commit to selling. *sigh*

Aw, now who's going to watch my table when I wander off since Joe won't be there?

News Credits: 1082 · by **Tigertrack** » Sun Dec 28, 2008 10:30 am

Thanks to the tip from poorboy8u, I was able to grab Cyclonus, Hound, and Starscream from Meijer. Still had Cheetor and Starscream when I left.

Also grabbed DCU Harley Quinn, and Black Manta, but they also had the Red and Blue Supermans, Aquaman long hair, and GL, and Nightwing.

I grabbed a variant DCU Deathstroke from Target yesterday too.

Thanks for the tip again! Westland TRU had 3 Cheetors yesterday, a bunch of Treadbolt, and more. They were pretty well stocked, but no really new stuff besides Cheetor.

i havent seen any DC figures of any line but wave 1. (including the 3 and three forths figures.)

Well, I got my trip to the post office in the mail today.. oh, wait, I mean my duplicate order of the universe premium figures. I filled out the return label, so now all I have to do is tape it back up and go to the post office. I'll probably do that tomorrow. I stopped at a few places on my way back to Canton yesterday. nothing new. Was looking for Cyclonus, but I didn't find him. Hound is still awesome though :grin:
