that's fine noob. give me a call and we can figure out where to meet. I don't have your toys with me though, so I'll have to run back to canton, but I should have time to do that.

I found Battlestar Galactica season 2.5 for 19.99 :DANCE: at best buy. they have both Season 2.0 and 2.5 for 19.99 each. they are regularly 39.99. the sale lasts through saturday. so get them now if you want them!!! :grin:

Anyone find '08 bumblebee yet? It's just been sighted in Indiana and I really want this. I looked all over and have found nothing.

I'm going hunting in about an hour or two. I'll report back if I find anything.

That's it, no more free vehicle diagnosis. :P

My phone is finally working, too.

Now I just need my car back, then homeostasis will be restored. Stupid Corolla rental...I feel dirty driving it.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

MISP preferred, but will consider opened NM/Complete, especially for older figures. Lots of TFs for trade! Please PM any inquiries, serious interest only!

I went to the Okemos TRU on my way home from work, it's still the poorest excuse for a TRU ever.

I think I saw a post about it somewhere on the forum.


Some of them will be available individually packed, and some will be in 5 packs...

Check at BBTS to see who is where. Not all versions are sold individually, and not all are sold in the 5 packs either.

No new TF stuff... :?

Okay, not much exciting to report. I did find some Unleashed Primes at the TRU at 7mile & Middlebelt. There are Leader Megatrons everywhere, just in case anybody's still looking. All the TRUs had the Titanium War Within 2-pack. Target had the Prime Titanium 3-pack which I thought about getting for the alt-mode Prime. Oh, and if anybody has a DS, TRU is having a buy-one-get-one-free sale on a few select Activision DS titles, including Transformers. I also saw the same thing for the Wii games but didn't notice if it applied to the other platforms as well.

Driving around this area sucked today. Apparently there was a huge watermain break at I-96 & Middlebelt that totally flooded the freeway.

EDIT: Almost forgot. The Westland TRU had a few of the new DC Superheroes wave. I picked up a Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) and a Two-Face. They had one of each left. Also, I finally found a "shiny chrome shield" Steel at Westland Target.

I went around AA and westland tonight.. didn't find much.. the target in westland had a few of the new sector 7 exclusives. I picked up the jet. No Joes though :( I did see the DC superheroes that god magnus saw at TRU.

God Magnus... I had heard about the water main. also, there was a brush fire in chelsea that closed 94 in both directions. bad day for driving! luckily I didn't need to go through either of those places

I stopped by the South Lansing Target tonight. They had a couple sets of the new Robot Heroes but nothing else which makes me sad.

Ya,since I'm only getting one toy for every character in the movie, those problems got me to go for Leader Brawl. Wait.... or should I call him devastator now?

Technically, wasn't he originally going to be Devastator? I remember an extremely early character breakdown in ToyFare mentioned as much. I'm guessing it was just a crossed wire between Hasbro and the studio. Perhaps they'll just edit that on the DVD.

That was an early working name, like Soundwave/Soundbyte for Frenzy, Vortex for Blackout, ...etc., etc.

And it has to be the studio's fault, we know HASBRO

I haven't been as active the last couple of weeks. I was thinking about going out and looking for a new Bumblebee but decided I should hold off or I'll end up finding all the new TF and GI Joe stuff and spend $300 :(

Well, RC13 managed to score a Dreadwing today, and the other guy that was there got Arcee, but we didn't see any Bumblebees.

I only grabbed a Clocker.

There were only one each of those, and they were at the Canton Target. So they are out. Happy Hunting!

Pickings were pretty slim at South Lansing Target today. There didn't seem to be much on the shelves though, so maybe there'll be a restocking shortly. I'll probably check out Okemos TRU/WM/Target tonight or tomorrow.

Oh! I just realized something.....RC13 could you give me the Target DPCI number for that Dreadwing? I'll do a search for him.

*edit* n/m, I found the ASIN number from Amazon, which is what I needed instead.
