Well, if it is Camshaft, or Swerve you'll be paying a lot for that Alternator!

WOW I did't see that coming....no joke my head is sooo messed up I didnt even think of that...thanks TT

SO I wanted to update you all on my job hunt...MI sucks...I have one maybe and they are not getting back to me with a second interview and I just cant wait for them...so I am heading to Cleveland for an Interview on Monday and to Dallas for an interview on Thurs. Wish me luck! The money at both is a TON more then I make now...

The bad thing is that the cost of living in both cities is probably a lot higher too

Highbeam, if I feel up to it in the morning, I'll head down to the Value City on Gratiot. If nothing else, I can eat lunch at Tropicana on my way home.

I'm a retail drone myself and while helping out a Star Wars collector, he mentioned that the Toys'R'Us across the street had the new Transformers... I panicked for the next three hours til I got out of work, but they were still there.

So... Camshaft, Cliffjumper and Landmine will be introduced to the mob tonight. Kinda bummed at getting three more Autobots, though I'm not actually sure which faction is larger at the moment.

People kept stopping me to ask about my jacket, which is one of the Hot Topic Barricade jackets.

But I was so excited about going to get the new guys that I forgot all about my other shopping. Whoops.

I'm still looking for the yellow Hummer (I like H2's :b ), so if you spot one, let me know

I've been trying to bother my parents to get me that for x-mas XD

I'll definitely look!

Just to warn you, the sizes for the jacket run super large. I ended up with an extra small and I could still throw a party in it. Normally I wear it over a hoodie...

And dang, I felt silly buying Autobots.

Though so far I'm rather happy with Camshaft and Landmine is fluctuating between cool and awesome. Just wait til everyone gets him and there will be complaints about his hands.

Cliffjumper is still in his bubble, at least for a little while longer.

Hmm, I'd probably have to try one on to see how big it would be on me then if they run that large... I think it'd be a fun jacket to run around in though, even if it is like a tent XD

*hoping she gets Highbeam back tomorrow*

*random* Why do I want decepticon symbol earrings now?? O_o

alright, apparently switching from one network to another several times a day causes me to log out of Seibertron.. :-x

then I miss the email about new posts. I just got caught up on about 15 posts :shock:

I'm still out here in hyannis, MA. haven't found any new toys :-(

Toys R Us had restocked TFs on tuesday, but nothing new. and now, each time I go in there, they've rearranged the TFs, so I get excited that there might be something new, but there never is

Highbeam.. sorry to hear about... um.. Highbeam. Car troubles suck. even on Rentals :grin:

I dont' know what I'm going to do tomorrow(besides sleep.) I may have to go hunting, see what Cape Cod has in terms of TFs.

Yes, but things can get really weird when Highbeam says she is going to take a ride in Highbeam...

It causes the planets to reverse rotation or something.

You're all naughty, I tell you!

Good run today, went up to the Livonia WM looking for ML3 figs. They only had the ones that I already have, but they stocked a ton of carded Joes, and I got a ton of those:

Flint x3
Serpentor x1
Zartan "Color change" variant x1
Beachhead x1
Cobra Trooper x2
Duke x1
Scarlett x1
Roadblock x1
Destro x1
Strom Shadow x1
Cobra Air Trooper x1

I didn't see any other new ones like Crimson Guard, but they had a good bit of the earlier waves left.

Then I went to the Canton Target and found McQuarrie Leia Starkiller and Rebel Trooper, one each, they were the last ones.

Not a lot of TFs out today...or at least it was very inconsistent from store to store. Happy Hunting!

by **DeepWater** » Sat Dec 08, 2007 4:30 pm

Well, I ended up with three RoadBots! No Hummer, sorry Highbeam, but I have a little orange Lamborghini, the red Ford and... I've forgotten the other, but it's yellow. Very nice day so far - when's the bad weather supposed to hit?

On the way back, I stopped at the Target on Gratiot and finished most of my holiday shopping. Their TF selection was pretty thin. Same with the Toys'R'Us across from Macomb Mall.

And a Family Dollar yielded the last two extra Spychangers I needed and also a couple knockoffs, plus a Strong Arm and Arcee. Someday I will do something with the pile of extra Arcees I'm amassing, but for now they're just in a growing tower...

Amazon's recommendation engine is insistent that I want Classics Hot Rod. Amazon's recommendation engine does not know what terrible things would happen to Classics Hot Rod if one were to come into my possession. *shakes head*

What terrible things would you do? Are you a Hot Rod Hater? :???:

If you are, you won't be allowed in my house. Too much Hot Rod stuff! :grin:

News Credits: 194 · by **RodimusConvoy13** » Sat Dec 08, 2007 4:38 pm

I drove up to Plymouth, MA today. There was a super Wal-mart, Target, Newbury comics and a huge mall up there. It was a good time waster. Wal-mart was superstocked! I'd never seen so many carded Joes in one place(except for Chad's toyroom :grin:

) I found the carded Duke, Gung Ho and Roadblock. They also had an MP Starscream!!!! I actually saw one in stores! I even took a picture of it. :grin:

Target had a lot of new star wars exclusives, but nothing in the way of TFs. I almost picked up the ARC-170 battle pack. the Clones and the R2 unit are cool. But, as I walking by the DVDs, I saw they had the second season of Weeds for 17.99. I started thinking.. Clones or Half Price DVDs starring Mary Louise Parker? I chose Mary Louise Parker.. I mean half price DVDs :grin:

The odd thing is that I don't know why I don't like Hot Rod and my dislike of him is more of a running joke than anything. And certainly I have nothing against people who like him.

It's just funny that Amazon thinks that I'd really, really like one.

Though I suppose I'll end up with the Kiss Player version eventually.

News Credits: 194 · by **RodimusConvoy13** » Sat Dec 08, 2007 5:05 pm

Kiss Play Rodimus is awesome! I got him for $60 from these guys at Botcon.

News Credits: 1 · by **yami4ct** » Sat Dec 08, 2007 5:40 pm

I saw them last year! I would've picked up KP Hot Road last year, but by the time I got around to it, I only had $25 left to spend. Anyway, I'm starting to save up for the 'con this year. I think I'll be saving up around $200-300 in spending cash for the dealer room and I'll be mostly going for BW stuff.

I'm going to be getting the Japanese version of Rampage for Christmas this year, picked him up online today for $27.

I just got the japanese Rampage from BBTS two weeks ago. He's really cool. he's Huge!

Ha I got my SL Shadowhawk Cosmos Type from those guys...for only $20!

while helping my mom at the mt clemens gibralter trade center craft/antique show i found a booth with comics for a quarter each. i ended up buying $23 worth of old spider-man, hulk, thor, nova, defenders, champions shehulk and other assorted comics. and i found a G1 scrapper

Got some minicon exclusives from them, and some of those nifty store exclusive energon weapons.

'Golden Compass' was okay. It's a lot more interesting when you go into knowing this author of young adult children's books is trying to warp the minds of our youth into believing there is no God, that the church is out to control us through the commercialism of a big budget movie that will lead to children ironically desiring the book for the biggest Christian holiday--Christmas--. It's all very twisted.

There is a great cast in it, and Gandalf returns in the form of an @$$ kickin' talking polar bear warrior.

And 'Horton Hears A Who' is coming to theaters next year. Jim Carrey is Horton and Steve Carrell is the mayor of Whoville (I think). It looks fun!

by **DeepWater** » Sat Dec 08, 2007 7:34 pm

Okay! Obviously I'll have to watch for them. Right now it's looking like three friends and I are going to make a very long daytrip for the Saturday of Botcon, since it's within driving distance.

Already I've been asked how many Kiss Player girls there are - for costuming reasons. :sad:

(Don't worry, potential carload does contain three girls.)

So far I just have the Atari x Autorooper set and the Convoy x Melissa set. And the artbook/manga.

I was too embarrassed to ask for KP stuff for Christmas. :oops:

Good thing there's always plenty of BW stuff there.Last year, it seemed like almost no one was interested in it. I got some really good deals. I found it's better to go and nab a ton of beast wars instead of getting about 1/3 of that in G1.

Highbeam... did you get your car back today? Because maybe you were just told he's at the shop. I think he actually took on a slightly older Alt mode and drove out to Massachusetts :grin:
