Movin' on up...

Well, I hunted around after work today. The Canton WM had 4 each Arcee and Dreadwind. Not...one...Bumblebee...

I swear that I'm going to pull my hair out.

The Canton Target put out older case assortments.

The Belleville WM also got the BB assortment, but only one Dreadwing remained.

...dammit...

If I catch someone with a cart full of BBs, we are going to have it out right then and there.

well, I spent the afternoon in Belfast... I picked up a Pendragon CD/DVD and the new Harry Potter novel. No new transformers stuff. I did see the Robot Replicas at HMV(record store). Barricade and Bumblebee look really good, Megatron not so much. I was really tempted to get Barricade, but each figure was £12.99.. that's about $27 per figure. I figured I could wait one more week until I'm back in the states :grin:

Belfast is a pretty nice city... and from what I heard.. nearly a completely different city from how it was 20 years ago. Terrorism will do that

And, let me tell you.. there are some FINE looking women in Belfast, N. Ireland. I enjoyed my sight seeing :grin:

We got moved cause the staff decided it was time for the regional sitings thread forum...we're still here, just in a new spot. A lot of people seemed to like our idea, so it bred a new forum.

Yes, I am reading WW hulk. He is just kicking all sorts of hero @$$! I'm foreseeing the Earth ripped in half as he takes revenge. I love that he is just pounding the crap out of any characters who even touched his league previously (Juggernaut, Colossus, She Hulk, Thing, Wolverine...). I wonder if it will be Thor to actually knock him out, or if it will be The Sentry, as it seems to be getting set up to be.

I was really surprised when Blackbolt was pounded. He MUST have been holding his voice back. :shock:

Oh FYI the McFarlane's Sportspicks MLB wave with Justin Verlander is out now. However, I have not seen any Verlanders yet.

Seen everyone else though...

Keep an eye out for Mr. Verlander for me, will you guys?

So, Ionacus?.??....

Sparty? Stop leaving us like this. What's the deal?

I looked for our thread for 10 minutes before I realized there was a new forum. I figured someone blew it up.

I saw that Transformers is playing at the Compuware Arena drive-in and thought that might make for a nice get together if any of you guys were still thinking about seeing it again as a group. I'm free next weekend if anybody's interested. The only possible drawback is that it's in a double feature with Ratatouille. However, it's only $8 for both movies.

Looked at Battle Creek Target today, nothing. Man, when is '08 BB going to really hit mass retail? On a happy note, I did pick up the Deluxe Edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at Sam's Club for $34 dollars. I'm about 100 pages in and it looks like it's going to be a great end to a great series.

And man, I searched forever trying to find our thread. I finally had to dig back into my browsing history and find it there.

I'm also contemplating what my next TF purchase after '08 bee, and hopefully Alt Rodimus. Since there is a big break before anything I want comes out, I'm going to save for something big. I'm debating whether to get a G1 Omega Supreme or a Brave Max. Any ideas on which one is better?

Whats the Deluxe edition?

as far as Brave Max or Omega...I say Omega, I know everyone relly likes Brave but Omega is just one of those really cool wish I had as a kid toys to me.

The Deluxe Edition comes with a hard box-like slip cover, it has a new cover, Harry, Ron and Hermoine riding a dragon, it has the original cover printed on the back of the cover, it would usually be just blank, it has a colored artwork of Snape and another Death Eater passing a Peacock on the way to the Malfoy mansion, it has all the chapter artwork in the back in full-page form, and it has J.K.'s "signature" printed on top of the slip cover.

I forgot to mention yesterday... there is a Toys R Us on the outskirts of Belfast... but it doesn't open until August 6th

I was bummed. I don't know where they get their toys over here. ASDA and Woolworths are the only places that have a decent selection of toys... and it's really not that decent. The ASDA in Coleraine didn't even have any transformers when i was there. Very slim pickings on them at WW too.

I watched a bit of my *ahem* copy *ahem* of Transformers. Makes me miss the new Leader class Prime I bought right before I left.

I want to go home

West Lansing Target had FAB Frenzy, Megatron, Blackout, Barricade and Bumblebee tonight. I picked up the Bumblebee and left the Barricade. The card on Barricade was pretty damaged.

by **Rijie** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 10:58 am

Well, nothing new this weekend, didn't go out much. I'm enjoying putting together a bunch of vintage GI Joe figs and vehicles that a coworker is trying to sell. I'll post a list when it is all finished, so you guy can get first dibs, then it's either ebay or Xtravacon for them.

I haven't seen him. The concept Camaro Bumblebee and the FAB Barricade are the only new things I'm missing at the moment I think.
