I still need to find a Jolt...hmmm... Still torn whether it's worth it to see the G.I. Joe movie too...

1. Has the leader class of Jetfire been released?
2. Is this a ludicrous question as it's been released, sold out, everyone knows it, and I should be keeping up to date more often?
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Jimotron.
Jetfire's been released, just not in saturation. The ROTF line is around for another year, just have some patience. I expect him to be out in droves when the Holiday season arrives.

If any of you guys (Andrew, Tony, Pam, Matt, Todd) see a countdown on clearance could you grab it for me please? I picked up the original micromaster one from Andrew (Thanks again, its awesome!!) and now I want the new one. I may pick it up at regular price, but if it can be snagged for cheaper
How's the house thing going Andrew, have you closed yet?
We should have a get-together sometime soon, I haven't seen Matt or Tony in a long time

Who is going to Xtravacon this weekend? I'm splitting a table with God Magnus. Hoping to sell some stuff and make a little cash.

Anyway, my DIA Commander, Superion add-on, and Alternity Megatron came from BBTS today. I haven't opened Megatron, and I have to admit that the Superion kit is kind of a let-down, at least for the price. DIA Commander will stay in his box until I move, if that ever happens.
Bleh.

Jimotron! Still searching the Westnedge TRU from time to time?
Good to know that the RotF line is around for a year, I wasn't quite sure. No sign of Jetfire, Arcee, Jolt or Ejector yet. Same with HA Skids and Ice Cream Twins. Still hesitating on Leader Megs (there was one with an alternate sound?) and waiting for more news about the Leader Starscream before I pick up the voyager. There's plenty to go around.
I've got most of the other characters featured in the movie at this point, still not worried about repaints (Grindor included) and other misc toys.
Even picked up Devastator the other day. All I've done is take him out of the box and put him on my shelf in the vehicle modes, but he's fun. You may want to take out the batteries, as there is one engine sound that kept going from Mixmaster during the transformation and I couldn't figure out what was triggering it.

Naw, the work I had in Kalamazoo wasn't enough to keep me there, so I'm back in the Detroit area...hunting, gathering, and saving Transformers...along with various other things (the new Ghostbusters line looks wicked).
Speaking of the Detroit area, tonight, one time only, the boys who did MST3K are doing a one-night only riff of Plan 9 from Outer Space, broadcasting live to movie theaters across the nation. If anyone is interested in checking it out, send me a PM.

I'm not going to get it, but just thought I'd let people know if they had wanted to get it but didn't want to spend $220 on it.
Now, if they'd just lower the price on Encore Metroplex...

I saw that too, but I have toys on otp of toys on top of toys... so my extra room is very small lately. Plus they have a lot of 25th joes on sale plus, so it is tempting, but nope...
Todd and Andrew I will be there on Sunday briefly. I'll bring you that book Todd-- Omen--, I am not bringing you 'Abyss' yet, as I have not had a chance to read it. Did I mention a $5 check out fee?
Swerve is the only figure I want now. Maybe Ejector. Andrew I am waiting to find Swerve at Target as I have a coupon for a free RPM with purchase of a deluxe class figure!

Same story here, essentially. I'm presently in Royal Oak.

Cool beans. You should hit up the Extravacon tomorrow. It's not very big, but you can find some unique items there. I've only been there once, but I'll probably pop in for a little while. Hey, anyone seen or heard from PorQpine? Doesn't he usually have a table there?
Anyway, I just recently broke down and bought my first TF:RotF movie figure: Voyager Starscream. If some of you recall I was aghast at the first movie's figure, and am pleasantly surprised that they made changes that greatly improve the look of his alt mode.

I have been eyeballing Starscream a bit, but there's plenty of him around so I'm making the other bots a priority. Plus, there was that rumor of a Leader Class coming out, which I'm betting I'd much rather have.

TT24! Where were you? I had Star Wars figures for you. Looks like they'll be at my house for a while longer
It was good seeing the people that came though. And now I have some extra money to put towards my new computer. Hopefully it'll be here by the end of the week. I'm very excited.

Anyway, I've check craigs and such and there isn't much....so if you have any suggestions or if you sell, send me a message. I work in oakland county and live in genesee...so I can cover a pretty broad area. Thanks.

You don't see many folks at Xtravacon carrying Japanese TF merch. That is certainly a rarity.
You need to contact Rijie.
Sorry Todd, baby was crying my name a lot today, couldn't get away.

Shockwave from today, assuming he wasn't the one of the dudes with the way too expensive loose G1 toys at the other end of the hall. Either way, that guy is very nice and the three times I've been to xtravacon I've unloaded way too much money on him. This fall I'm giving up my Sunday brunch shift, so next month I think I'm going to hang out for a little more. So far I'm the only person I know that collects transformers, and I think my fiancée's tired of hearing about them... I wish Michigan could support a larger toy swap meet thing.
I believe 'Those guys' post on here too. You may want to be careful, and make sure you consider the market... you yourself said there are no swap meets around here, and G1 is expensive. Gibralter trade center had some G1's last time I was there. Talk about expensive. I'm not even sure if Time Traveler's has a store front any more, or if they just sell online, but they used to have a store.
