edit: haha, got it. there's pegs you have to press in on. I was doing this.. but you have to press so hard it was hurting my fingers. got a towel as some padding and was able to get it out

Glad to hear your as smart as a 5 yr old...lol :grin:

Welcome to the club of people looking for '08 BB. He rarely shows up. Nobody can find him, but don't fret. He will soon be everywhere. We just need to wait for the fall reset, supposedly this week but I haven't seen any signs of it.

Listen to Yami...I have mine but got really lucky awhile back...I talked to the guy at target and he said the reset will be happening till at least the end of the month...

Checked out Walmart (West Lansing, Okemos, South Lyon, Livonia), Target (West Lansing, South Lansing, Okemos, Wixom, Livonia), TRU (Okemos, Novi, Livonia) and I'm not kidding you, if they had movie deluxes, it was only 3 remaining of the protoforms or the June 2nd wave.

In fact, in all the places I was at today, there was a bunch of TF stuff aside from a few voyagers and then empty pegs where the movie deluxes are supposed to be.

It really looks like Hasbro completely stopped shipping out deluxes (and voyagers but there were at least a couple in the places I was at aside from a couple exceptions). Now, I have no idea if the lapse in time is because they're releasing a whole new wave of them or what, but it's pretty depressing. I was hoping to see at least something new.

I guess the only positive thing about this is that when the new stuff hits the stores, it's going to hit all the stores at once. Hopefully soon, I got a bit of cash burning a hole in my pocket right now

I did see the robot replicas which were cool, but honestly, I don't think it makes sense to even sell 'em lol.
West Lansing Target had two Ultimate Bumblebees, which look kinda odd imo.

The West Lansing Target now only has 1 Ultimate Bumblebee

well, I'm in Grand Island, Nebraska. I stopped at a TRU, Wal-mart and ShopKo in Lincoln Nebraska. No 08 Bumblebees. I was surprised to see at least a few deluxes.. still mostely protoforms, but I saw a couple of swindles and wreakages. There are two walmarts in grand island, and one in hastings which is about 20 miles away. so I will hopefully have some luck there, although I'm not getting my hopes up. There are some targets in Lincoln that I might hit on the weekend depending on what I want to do.

I've officially gone insane, points to his thread in carbombya. I NEED '08 BB bad. Hopefully my offer of passing on the club discount for the Universe Seacons pays off. I'm so bored. I haven't seen a new figure in so long. At least I should see my 2x Rodimus tomorrow. :grin:

Didn't get them AGAIN today :sad:

WTF is going on? I'm calling my post office. This is total BS. It should be here by now! I HATE the USPS! I won't be using them to ship a package again. I've been screwed over by them WAY to many times.

by **jimi04** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 5:54 pm

I just took a look at Target's web site, and there are no movie deluxes listed there when you search for transformers.

I might be just doing something silly, but can someone check as well?

News Credits: 194 · by **RodimusConvoy13** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 8:39 pm

well, one of the walmarts, the shopko and kbtoys in grand island, NE was a bust. I did just see a kmart but didn't stop. I will probably hit that and the other walmart tomorrow. I did get an email that my WWI Grimlock bust has shipped. also, one of the beastwars figures I ordered came in at BBTS. that'll sit there until more stuff comes in. but when I get back, I'll have the two cds I ordered, 4 tit menasors and 2 alt roddys waiting for me :grin:

plus, the flash gordon(its so bad its good) movie from 1980 comes out on DVD tomorrow. I'll have to pick that up.

.. FLASH! Aaahhaaaah.... :grin:

I got my shipment from HST today too. Everything was good except one of the Alt. Rodimus had a dent in the bubble that was pretty bad. I'm going to open that one anyway.

South Lansing Kmart and Target had nothing new tonight. Not even Ultimate Bumblebee.

The movie may have been so bad it was good, but the new series on Sci-Fi looks like it may be good, not the it's bad good but good good. Sort of like Battlestar Galatica. Original, so bad it's good, re-make, great!

Let's hope SciFi's Flash Gordon is good. The trailer looks great but that guy playing Flash was annoying as hell as Whitney on Smallville.

Also on DVD tomorrow: The Tick vs. Season 2!!! Screw you, phone bill!!!

Bleh...gotta go pay a fine today. Don't you just love when you wreck your car, then a cop shows up and issues a citation?

$110...what a racket. Dammit.

News Credits: 194 · by **RodimusConvoy13** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 9:31 am

God Magnus... I have to agree.. that guy drove me nuts on smallville too. Here's hoping he's grown as an actor a bit in the 5 years since he's been on smallville. I've got my DVR set for the new Flash Gordon. I'm hoping it's good.(it better be, its probably one of the reasons SG-1 wasn't renewed, stupid show budgets :grin:

)

PQP... sorry about the fine. did you find out anything from your insurance company? will they cover some of the rental car fees?

on a side note.. I thought I had lost my Legends Prime... so I bought another one. when I got to the airport on sunday, something had fallen down behind the drivers seat. when I went to grab it.. I saw my original legends prime. so now I have two. I really should clean my car every now and then :grin:

NOOB! Where are you????????????

Got my rodys today. :APPLAUSE:

He rocks! I think I'm going to put my extra on e-bay, I'm a little low on cash right now and I hate seeing this great toy trapped in plastic.
