I had a great time at the con, as per usual. I made a nice trade for some books with the guy next to me. By the way, noob, eyes-on-his-chest's name is Todd. I'm glad I did the dinner after the con. Good times indeed.

On another note, a while back I participated in a photo scavenger hunt on the Minimate Multiverse. Well, the judging is finally finished so now I can share my pictures. I won a prize for completing all of the challenges. You can check out my pictures here and you can see the original rules along with all of the entrants here.

So I went dollar store shopping today and found some interesting things. The Ypsilanti Dollar General store had a few KO protectobot sets and several of these small (hot wheels sized) Transformers (I only recognized Prowl and Optimus, which I bought).

The Belleville Walgreens had a bunch of stuff, including three of the Fast Action Battlers (Ironhide, Jazz, and Brawl), some Real Gear (Booster x2, Zoom Out x2, Speed Dial x1), and Cybertron Galvatron, Menasor, and I bought Swindle :)

Nope, no clearance right now (sadly). I'll keep an eye on them.

LOC? Sorry, not sure what that means. The small Transformers I found at the dollar store are labeled "Transformers Universe: Spy Changers", according to my mini-Prime's box.

I didn't realize that the Galvatron was the Legends of Cybertron version. I stopped there last night and was a bit disappointed :grin: I thought we were seeing another release like the $20 Galaxy Force Prime at Family Dollar.

I was amazed. The Belleville Walmart actually had stuff today:

Transformers

3 Metroplex "Cybertron, Primus Unleashed" ($39.67 each)
1 Ultimate Bumblebee (he's now hiding behind the Metroplex's) ($79.88)
2 Alternators Ricochet ($19.96 each)
2 Classic Voyager Optimus Prime ($19.96 each)
4 Unleashed Optimus Prime
3 Diecast Grimlock
2 Cyber Slammers Barricade

Star Wars Transformers

1 Saesee Twin
2 Mace Windu
1 Emperor Palpatine
1 Darth Vader
2 Clone Pilots

I was soooo tempted to get one of the Metroplex figures, but he's a bit pricey for me right now.

Correct on all accounts...nice figure I really like both of them and 40 for the pair is well worth it.

Dollar General I think has some KO...I have not seen them.

why do I not get the emails!!!!!!! :-x well, this is a post just to let the server know I'm still watching this thread. I have nothing new to report. I am going to pick up the diamond select grimlock and/or bumblebee bust today. depends on how much my comics come to and whether I'll be eating soup at home or going out to get food. I picked up SG: Atlantis season 3 and Smallville Season 6 yesterday. Didn't pick up Supes/Doomsday. I've read that it's really good though.
