Thanks

Pretty crazy to think that at the end of August there will be a little JT crawling around. I have already picked up the entire Cyber Slammer line for the little guy

That image doesn't look very good but I have no control over them since her OB will not give her a referral to my groups imaging center. She likes the OB though so I can deal with that. I still get copies of all the films and have my radiologists take a peek just to make sure everything is good

Anyway, looks like Matt and Laura are already on the BotCon page:

I think it's just you and me this weekend. It's very quiet here. I'll be checking Westland this afternoon for TFs while I'm out that way.

Westland TRU was STOCKED with Wingblades and Jetstorms (I caved, and bought myself a Jetstorm

). The KB's at the mall had a bunch of interesting things...the Universe RID figures. Look at the pics below (from my new cam phone that actually takes good pics!):

Just for kicks, here's my random stash from just this week-ish XD

Yes, I'm making that S281 kit look like Barricade XD Mwaha!

Well, school and Botcon are now over (:|

Botcon was pretty good, the upcoming toys looks great for the next year!!! Cyclonus and Hound!!!

Pam, congrats on Graduating :APPLAUSE:

Also, I have your seibertron shirt!!

Well, many of us Michiganders ended up getting Animated toys at retail while at Botcon. They are a lot better than I thought they would be!! I was surprised

Time to sleep.... I-)

I'm also back from Botcon! It was a lot of fun. Glad to finally have internet again. No free wireless makes me unhappy

the animated toys are cool. the exclusives are awesome. I"ll have some pictures to post later tonight or tomorrow. Grrr.. Westland TRU finally had wingblade yesterday???? I've been trying to find that

not that I didn't already spend enough money this weekend

oh yeah.. the Motel 6 in sharonville is kinda sucky. teeny tiny rooms

And their AC wasn't turned on yet!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:

Luckily walmart doesn't ask questions. I bought a $15 dollar fan thursday night and returned it this morning for a full refund. I'm feeling a bit "morally ambiguous" about that :oops:

sorry, inside joke. :grin:

did you get any for the rest of us????? no? than why torture us with that knowledge?

JK!

Here are my pictures. Pretty much the same format as last year... Fans in Costume, Customs, Ryan's award and Celebs. Also, back by popular demand, the famous Big Butter Jesus statue! :grin:

They were out but not in as great a number as wave 1, apparently. Andrew bought a Ratchet off some guy for $25 that wouldn't take $24.50 for it. I was tempted to just kick the guy in the nuts and run off with it since we were on our way out anyway. That guy was such a dick!

As for me, I picked up the Prime/Megatron 2-pack, the four wave 1 deluxes, and a Bulkhead. Bulkhead=pure Fagerbakke action!!!

I shall also have many many pictures up soon. Hopefully by tomorrow. I am so exhausted right now.

So, my first BotCon was awesome and will certainly not be my last. It was amazing seeing all of the new figure sneek peeks and reveals at the Hasbro pannel first hand. There was just so much cool crap. I'm still giddy!

Ack, if I would've realized you were looking for that, I could've picked one up for ya. I'll be around Ypsi tomorrow running some errands and can check the TRU there.

damn i want some of those animated figures. i am starting to go through withdrawls. i did see the new(old)LOCs at kmart when i stoped there before getting dinner.i wonder if we will see the ones from the second wave of classic LOCs. alot of us didnt get the chance to get them.

by **Rijie** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 7:36 pm

I'm not back from BotCon yet. I'm home...just not back from BotCon. 8-}

My head is still spinning. Hearing DK do BW Megatron in person is something that I'll never forget. Now I want to change my screen name to Joe Convoy...

Finding Animated TFs at retail was the icing. I got Lockdown, Prowl, Deluxe Prime, and the Op/Meg set. Then I broke down and grabbed Ratchet when I saw him. I overpaid, but, hey...I really wanted the figure.

Starscream was the only wave 1 fig that we couldn't find. I skipped Bulkhead for the Leader version, and I'm not interested in Voyager Megatron at all. Lockdown is my favorite so far, he's the perfect mercenary, very tall for a Deluxe toy. You really get your money's worth. And RC13 had to go and mutilate his. He'll get you for that.

I'll post my haul sometime this weekend, I'm just plain tired now.

i am thinking really hard about ordering the ultra magnus upgrade set. i just cant get over the price though.

News Credits: 194 · by **RodimusConvoy13** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 8:25 pm

it's a lot, but its not as much as I thought it was going to be.

by **DeepWater** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 8:49 pm

*tired wave* I'm home and I'm exhausted. I'm fairly amazed to be sitting upright, actually.

I can't think of anything to say that won't be brainless misspelled rambling, so here are a few things I bought:

Kiss Players Cassettes
Pink Wonderfest Arcee (this is PorQPine's fault!!!)
Black Arcee (see above)
tons of little jet minicons
Robot Masters Starscream
Robot Masters Gigant Bomb & Smokesniper
Henkei Starscream
RiD Optimus Prime
a bunch of the Beast Machines Jetstorm-type jets (I have plans for them and I'm sleepy so I'm going to admit I just call them 'bunny ear jets')
Override GTS
Lots of jets. And some more jets.
Jets.
Stuff I can't remember right now.
And an Animated Prime & Megatron set on the way out of town.

Okay. Sleep now.
Oh... I got interviewed at one point but I have no idea who it was who interviewed me, so if anyone sees it floating around online, let me know.
