You guys seem to have one hell of a TRU. If you could take pics or buy them and show the receipt, I'd newsify you!

FYI, I have a table at the con on Sunday. Don't know where it will be in location to everybody else, but I'll be there with stuff. What kind of stuff? Unfortunately not the cheap kind, but i do have a couple 08 BUmblebees, some SDCC exclusives, my Botcon bagged set, MP Megs, you'll see!!!

EDIT: Front paged it as a rumor anyway...very few sighted so far, so it makes for interesting news.

Checked out Okemos Target/Kohls/Walmart/TRU, Lake Lansing Walmart, West Lansing Walmart/Target/Kohls

Nothing found really. Kohls has had the only deluxes I've seen. An Okemos Kohls manager told me that there was a guy who came in and bought ten BB's like a day or so ago...so that cements my thought that there's been someone one step ahead of me in finding that bugger in Lansing. :shock:

Seen a bunch of Arcees and Dreadwings at this point though.

It was probably the same guy I saw at Wal-Mart in Eastwood the other night going though all the toy cases pulling variants out. He had a shopping cart full and he obviously knew the people stocking toys because they were helping him get them out of the cases.

Thanks and welcome to the thread inazuma1977... I front paged them already, and nobody seems to be questioning it, so if it is out of your way, don't worry about it.

However, if you want to buy them and send them to me so I can do it, that would be great! :twisted:

Thanks for the birthday wishes, guys. The Tigers gave me a nice present with an exciting victory over Cleveland!

I went to Party City today so I could get some party hats to make work fun and I found a neat little keychain light. I had never seen it before but it projects the Autobot sybmol so I bought one. It has a 2006 copyright date and it came in Heroes of Cybertron packaging.

DriveBy, you shall be PM'd!

we should just call it the Impatient Michigander-con. Forget about this Xtrava-con name :grin:

Maybe we should start our own con/swap meet kind of thing. It would be nice to have a semi-annual TF convention in Michigan.

More along the lines of renting a convention hall for a day to do all that stuff in. I'm thinking it could grow into something pretty cool but maybe that's just me.

Okemos TRU had nothing this morning.

I won't be able to make this con but maybe the next one I might get a table. I have a bunch of extra stuff I need to get rid of and doing that would be easier than trying to eBay it.

I was thinking we can start it as a "TF Party" and see if it can grow from there....

I tried to get some folks interested. When the late and great TFMaster was around we were talking about it. I was also talking to Seibertron about it too, but according to them, CONS, even small ones, are a hell of a lot of work for the organizers.

Hey I'm not saying not to try or anything, I'm just passing what's been passed to me.

I was digging through storage today. I will have some interesting stuff to say the least.

Don't think less of me when you see some of my prices. I haggle. But I do need to 'recoup' some losses on some of my SDCC stuff.

I do try to help folks out who mention Impatient Michiganders and Seibertron.

Even with four tables, we'll probably be spread out throughout the entire con. You know so it will be harder to chat with one another.
