So you comic-y people...

Did Beast Wars Sourcebook #3 come out this week in our area? Comic City tells me that they were not shipped any. Based on my past frustrations with their pull system, and how incredibly hard it is to pull any and all TRANSFORMERS items for me, they may be telling me a story... :-?

I guess I just need to start a pull at Stadium Comics, right?

Stadium did not get the sourcebook either. chad had to reorder them. And yes, you do need to get a pull list going at Stadium :grin:

So instead of taking pics of my figs...I made icons from TF animated, lol XD They're only slightly spoilerish, mostly amusing :P

Iconage

I think I'm getting better at these, hehehe.

No Sourcebook at Back to the Past either. That left me with just four books for the week. I can not remember the last time I spent only $10 dollars on new comic day. It kinda freaked me out a little. Crazy fifth-week months.

Hmm... I just watched the TF Aminated, and I thought this episode was on par with the others.

It did feature Megatron quite a bit, even if he was only a head... I thought he showed a good amount of malice anyway.

Westland Target had a full restock of Deluxe movie figs, nothing new but they had a 1 Concept BB and multiples of the others.

I also saw for the first time the SW vinyl figures, Mighty Muggs. They had Han & Chewey. I wonder how long before we see the TF verisions of this line...

I thought the new episode was pretty good. The Archer thing was funny. I'm hoping other autobots and decepticons will show up soon though.

I had to wait the couple hours for it to show up on YouTube, but I thought yesterday's episode was pretty good. Nice character focus episode, I guess, which is what they're intending to do.

A friend and I are planning a thorough search next weekend for new movie toys. Hopefully the new voyagers and such show up by then.

Highbeam, the icons you made overlap about 85% with screencaps that a friend of mine posted. :D

Lol! I just screencapped/cropped/captioned as I rewatched the eps. Anything that stood out to me as silly or icon-worthy, I 'capped :P Icons are fun to make!

I just checked out the episode on youtube. For some reason I kept expecting "Batmanuel" to swoop in alongside the Archer... :P

I was kinda digging Prowl's room, though, with the oriental theme to it. I also enjoyed Starscream's voice work (from the premiere).

As I was looking for the episode, I came across this clip I thought you might all enjoy:

Well, here goes another attempt at posting. Hopefully this one gets through since I haven't been able to post regularly since the site update... maybe I need more fiber :grin:

Well, the "Preview" worked for the first time, lets try a post :-?

Edit: All right!! I appear to be back online.... just in time for school to start again :cry: :MAD:

yeah, the weather is messed up. Can't believe all the tornadoes in wisconsin. that's crazy.

Belleville walmart had nothing besides a few battle packs and some forced unleashed lightsabers. that was the only new stuff. I haven't been anywhere else. I'm trying not to spend money. :grin:

There's a fairly lengthy thread over in the kitbash forum. I'm supposed to be trying my hand at repainting, myself, but I've been thus-far too nervous and under-motivated.

For finds... nothing in this area. Target got in another box of old scouts and I was thinking of grabbing another Skyblast if he's there on payday. Was hoping for new scouts.

And Highbeam, do you mind if I use a couple of your icons on another site? I'll credit.
