Well, because the TRU Jetstorm was so cool.. I started looking for Sky Shadow. Found one on ebay. $34.90 including shipping. Not bad considering he retailed for $26.99. I also got a notice that Henkei Astrotrain is in at BBTS. Hmm.. Revoltech Rodimus, Coronation Set and Astrotrain... might have to ship my loot today :grin:

Does anybody think the Shattered Glass set is going to come down at all or at least hold around $400 for a while? I'm seriously considering asking somebody for a loan for this one or this one. Also, I'm really starting to get pissed off that so many people have 5 or more of the Megatron & Rodimus sets on eBay. I was next in line, you dirty bastiches! :-x

There should be an angry, fist shaking emoticon to properly express my rage. You may imagine one with me, if you like.

I don't know how long it will be up, but for those of you who couldn't make, and for those of you that want to see it again, the script reading at the Botcon Awards dinner is on Youtube. There is a link on the frontpage of seibertron.

The DB TRU has two each Jetstorm/Wingblade. Some prick actually hid them, so I put them back out. They also have one Cobra Commander 3-pack, and two Joe 3-packs, nothing else notable.

I have to share the good news...

I am now a temp-to-hire employee with Kelly Services! Yay!!! I also exceeded their expectations as far as my skillset goes, which is awesome! Apparently they've had to turn away some clients before for lack of employees with a lot of skill in Excel and Access, amongst other things. Wheee!

*excited*

I'll see some of you tonight for Iron Man!

Cool! Congratulations! You are now officially working for the Man!

Our Walmart has new joes? According to Joesitings it does (and the hunter does not like Wallie World much).

It looks like he found the Duke jet pack, Snake Eyes (89), Spirit, Wild Bill, and HISS Driver.

Damn it! BBTS is supposed to get these before retail, not after! Now I have to go out hunting again.

Iron Man ruled!!! It was a great movie. You MUST stay through all the credits! :grin:

That guy is alittle extreme with the WM bashing. At least they have the figures. Another local guy is buying up wave 7 like crazy and "being a nice guy" by selling them on hisstank for $8 each.

I hate hisstank and their cry baby censoring mods.

Hmmm...they are the same folks that run TFW, or at least are a part of TFW. That explains a lot.

I hate tfw2005 too. That's why I only post here

In fact as much as I dislike the numerous bugs and upgrades with phpbb here, I'd take that xInfinity before hanging out at tfw2005.

That movie was frickin' awesome! I know my dad is dying to see it, so I'll get a chance to see it again, mwaha! My only complaint is I'm totally against Shelby abuse!! XD Such a pretty old Shelby too!! Bwahhh! :sad:

All the screentime for the R8 kinda made up for it though...kinda

I think I'm gonna make a matching maille bracelet for the heck of it now...(only those who went last night know why I bring this up).

YAY, THUNDER OUTSIDE *flail*

Yeah, I was worried we might have to call an ambulance for you when the Shelby went down

Sheri enjoyed meeting you last night but didn't like all the flak I gave her later concerning the fact that she didn't think of something cool to make for the occasion

I am still as giddy as a school girl... make that as giddy as Andrew crossing the street at Botcon

News Credits: 194 · by **RodimusConvoy13** » Fri May 02, 2008 12:54 pm

Yes, there was much car abuse in Iron Man. But it wasn't gratuitous, it was integral to the plot of the movie!

But don't worry Highbeam.. didn't you see the spot in the credits that said "No real cars were harmed during the filming of this movie?" It was only fake cars that were hurt.

Hey Chad.. where'd you put my tech deck Magnus dude? He's not on the shelf where he was when you walking into my toyroom! I should have watched you closer. :MAD:

At least it wasn't the Saleen!! I'd have freaked out!

No, really, I would've...

It was nice meeting Sheri too, as another "crafty" person

I'm still amused by the knit chicken feet :lol:

How exactly did she come up with that idea in the first place?

Try not to squee too much

Hello all. I'm new here and finally found something worth posting in this thread.

There's a bunch of KB Toys are going out of business and the one by me is selling the Universe toys they had in stock and I was wondering is it worth it to buy some of them or wait for something better.

The toys included the repackaged Energon Sharkticon, Steamhammer, Barricade and some others. If I get some pics I'll let you know. I do have this one I found:
