Yeah, it's not easy. Search around, you'll see things at prices you want to pay.

Leader Brawl was out for the first movie.
He's the one I blame for my current predicament, as the original plan was to simply get the five Autobots. Then I saw him, started noticing the rest of the Decepticons and the rest is history.

I hadn't heard they were re-releasing him for RotF though. K-Marts around me are usually really behind and have a lot of stuff from the first movie still. It sounds like you simply found an old one.

Though if it has pictures of RotF toys.. hmm. Is it the red RotF packaging?

I am but a child in this world.....I have just begun getting into the tf's and collecting again. Dug up my old collection and starting buying some of the rotfs and mps...anyway, I have been making some pretty regular stops to different stores and anytime I can hit one in a new town, I do so. Brawl is the first new(different) sighting I've seen in awhile so I just assumed he must be new #-o ..anyway, you're right...he is the 2007 version. I like him though...... Thanks.

Westland target has 1 human alliance sideswipe an 4 Bruticus sets. Westland TRU had a few deadends, ravages and jolts. Plus 2 of the preview BBs. I think Simone was looking for that. Happy hunting.

Well, I'm officially moved in to my dorm at MSU, so most of my sighting will be for the East Lansing area now.

I am going to mold and make new hands and feet for Bruticus.....has anyone tried this.....making their own molds? There is a really easy to work with plastic called shapelock and I am going to make clay molds and just modify it as need be. I figure I can use optimus prime leader rotf's feet(trimmed and slightly modified of course) and Onslaughts hands/forearm for the molds...I figure it would be really easy to use g1 bruticus hands and feet...but I want something that looks a little more advanced. Anythings got to be better than out of the box and I don't want to wait..or pay(again..superion)...for fans to make one...of course it will be nowhere near as nice...but...Anyway, if your interested I'll let you know how it goes.

Finally found Jolt today. He's a fun little Deluxe, I'm pretty happy with him. He could use a little extra detailing paint-wise, but I dig both modes.


Target on John R/14 mile had a couple more, plus a Blazemaster if anyone's looking.

The Ann Arbor/Saline Road Target had a bunch of Bruticus and Superion sets. They also had one HA Sideswipe and a few ravages and deadends. I also saw a new Target Exclusive Star Wars vehicle that I hadn't seen before. It's Wedge Antilles' X-wing. It's the large X-wing toy along with a Wedge and Astromech Droid figures. If I was still collecting SW, I would have bought this in a second. The only thing better than Wedge with an X-wing would have been if it was Corran Horn, Whislter and an X-wing with green stripes. The x-wing also comes with stickers so you can put Wedge's kills on the side. It includes both Death Stars :grin:

Found the Minicon 10-pack today at the Allen Park Meijer, there were 3 left. They also had a few Deluxe Sideswipes, and 2 Devastators.

The Allen Park Target had 2 HA Sideswipes and a couple of Blazemasters/Dead Ends, nothing else of note.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

I've been planning on coming out of SW toy retirement just for this one. I've always wanted to own all of the OT rebel starfighters, lol. Just a weird kid idea, but it's held true. I got the B-Wing on clearance a while back, still have my A-Wing. The old X-Wing just doesn't compare, so I'll prolly pick this up when I've got a little extra scratch.


Wedge, man. I loved those books.

Livonia WalMart had a few ROTF Nightbeats. No toasters, though. Looks like they dropped their prices a bit as well. Scouts were $7.44, Deluxes were $10 even, Voyagers were $19.97, and Leaders were $35.

I kinda want an HA Sideswipe but it looks barely worth $20, let alone $35.

He's nice to have for a really excellent car mode. Robot mode is a bit iffy, most of his car parts fold into his backpack.

A nice display piece, overall. Kids'll break him in a couple of minutes.
The only one I'm going to be hesitant towards is Skids, though I haven't even seen pics of him yet. I'll bet Barricade is going to be sweet.

Major scores this weekend. Picked up Minicon 10-pack at the Portage Shaver Rd Meijer. Picked up legends Skids and Tankor at Walmart on 9th street. Picked up Bruticus Maximus at the Target in Battle Creek (had several of them).
