Well I finished up my universe deluxes today with the purchase of ironhide. Not a bad figure at all, and his head doesnt slump down like I had read. Still no luck finding an Animated Shockwave. Maybe Ill wait till the next xtravacon and hope my luck changes.

I picked up 2 of each Animated Blurr, Swindle and Blazing Lockdown at the West Lansing Wal-Mart today. I am current on Animated now but I still need to find a couple of Universe Inferno, a 2nd Brawn and a couple Beachcombers.

I even found a black-headed Destro comic pack at the Target in Warren yesterday. Hurray!

Hey quick question for you guys...Im looking to buy the city commander set and I was going to purchase it at tfsource, however, since im going to the xtravacon in a few weeks, should i wait for it and hope I can find one there, or should I just go ahead with the online order?

I wouldn't count on seeing it at Extravacon, but you could always wait, and if it's not there, you can then buy it at TFSOurce...

But I would say it is a very poor percentage chance of being there.

Well ill wait it out I suppose. I havent been to the extravacon since 2007, and I remember seeing alot of rare tfs(For such a small place), and worse comes to worse Ill just get it online. Thanks for the reply!

I got Animated Skywarp as a gift for X-Mas and I seem to have the bad luck of getting TF's with bad QC as my Sky is missing landing gear. ;\ Good times. Anyone spot a Swindle in the lansing area?

And I still have that Major Bludd if anyone was interested.

Chad and I found Brawn, Beachcomber and Bumblebee at the Belleville Wal-mart last night. They had two of each. There were still two Legends animated Starscreams when we left. Nothing else new. there is a animated Blitzwing with a loose nosecone/cockpit/head in the box and a movie Evac that is in about 4 pieces in a crushed box. but hey, the all the twist ties are still in the box... :grin:

the minibots are quite cool.

Spotted Animated Blurr and Swindle about 11:30am at the Taylor WM, there were about 3 of each, as well as two each of the Wave 4 Universe Deluxes, minus Cyclonus.

...and BBTS' delayed shipping is starting to frustrate me. I ordered my loot shipped at like 7am on Mon, and it still is in the warehouse as of this morning. :MAD:

I've been messing around with Blurr and Swindle
both are really cool. Blurr's alt mode is awesome. If they come out with an animated Rodimus and they don't give him a new mold, I hope they do a retool of Blurr for him. both are really solid figures. nothing is lose on them at all and the paint is good too

My Blurr had the same syndrome as my Lockdown. Leg pop off...

Better be a new mold for Rodimus as he looks to be part of the new team in the next season (source: Club Magazine).

Livonia Walmart has Animated Wave 5, Universe Wave 4, and 2 Shadowblade Megatrons.

if you have gotten Blurr, don't forget to turn his feet around at the top of the wheels. He looks a million times better :grin:

I just noticed they could turn.. must've missed that in the instructions

urghhh!!! TFSource is making me ANGRY!!! I recently moved and updated my address with my bank so my credit card would be up to date. So during that time I ordered the city commander trailer from TFSource thinking they would take a day to process the order. Well they processed it that day and of course it was declined because my mailing address was different than what the bank had on file(Because it takes a day to update the address through the bank) so I emailed TFSource three times and STILL no response from them. I checked with the bank everything is now squared away on their end but TFSource wont answer my damn emails. Id like to cancel the order now and look for it somewhere else but again they wont answer the emails.
/end rant (Sorry I know its the sightings forum but...just let it be)
