I would expect it to be a lot lower than that. Everything was done they just needed a venue to seel from...

I'd expect around $50, but it's a guess.

seacons. finally i have a reason to join the HCC.


i found 2 cases of 25th gijoe figures last night. i forgot to check to see who was in each case. oh well. they will be gone when i get there tonight.

TRU in Westland took down their large corner TF display. There is now a small worthless one by the checkouts, and then the normal one in the aisle.

*Sigh*It was nice while it lasted, I suppose.

Also, they have 1 x each Adventure Team Sets (Recondo, and Snake Eyes), but no 25th stuff.

Also had the Mech suit with Snake Eyes.

Finally, 2 x 30th SW Stormtroopers with removable helmets.

Nice finds TT.

Got my Devastator today, JT, thanks!!

It still seems weird having to come to another forum to post here...not complaining, it just still feels funny.

Finally got my 08 BB case in my Pile at BBTS, but I have to wait until early next week to have it shipped.

If anyone sees the new red-cap Sigma 6 figs, could you let me know? Or at least pick up a Red Banshee for me? It would be much appreciated.

If anyone is one the lookout for anything, let me know. Unless it is absolutely neccesary, I'm probably not going to post too many sightings for a month or two. I'm waiting for the hype to die off.

Plus there are some lurkers out there who need to start doing their own footwork.

I'm looking for the Sigma Six SWAT guy, not named Shockwave though, I have him, I think he is blue with knee pads.

Still no stores restocking in my area, so no '08 bee. Makes me very sad. I'm still afraid, though, that the Seacons are going to be ungodly expensive, because, even though they aren't new molds, they are a new production run, so they have to recoup those costs. Also, during the Hasbro tour at BotCon this year, they mentioned working with the club to put this out, but they didn't have a bunch sitting around already made, just a few prototypes, like people though so it would be a whole new run.

Awesome! I had to use my last Hasbro box to ship that, I ran out of boxes that size. I was sad to see it go.

Sorry about all of the plastic bags, I ran out of packing material awhile ago and I haven't had a chance to get anymore

I got so many weird looks that night.

It was at the Jackson Wal-Mart. I had loaded the cart up with all the movie toys I didn't have sometime around 12:30AM on June 2nd.

The guy working the toys department was unboxing stuff and we asked him if we could have the boxes, he said yes.

So the entire bottom part of the cart was stuffed with broken down Transformers boxes

I was going to ask about how you got that box...

So my wife has been calling / running around town hunting for 25th GI Joe figs for my birthday with no luck. So if you guys see any please post. I was hoping these would be more available by now, it reminds me of when the G1 reissues 1st hit TRU.

WOW! JUST WOW!

The Okemos TRU has almost no space available for Transformers now. I'm shocked.

They had no 25th GI Joe stuff either, just tons and tons of Sigma 6 stuff.

I did have a nice suprise there though, they had a black and silver Superman and a Steel (I swear this Steel looks different than the other one I have).

They also had a nice TRU exclusive Batman and Robin set that shows a Batman and Nightwing set on the back for $20.

EDIT: Ha! YES! I was right, it's the chrome variant. I didn't even know there was a variant for Steel!

I'm in Port Huron for the weekend. Went to Target and saw jack squat except the TF Tech toys are out. If anyone is looking for them I can pick 'em up...

Fort Gratiot TRU had a Classics Jetfire, Titanium Soundwave and Rodimus as well as Classics Mirage, Ramjet and Cliffjumper. They had Cybertron Metroplex, BW Optimus (Cybertron version), Cyb Soundwave, Quickmix. As far as movie toys, there was protoform prime and starscream....nothing else for deluxes, there were a couple old voyagers and the blackout/scorponok 2 pack ;(

If any of you Lansing guys are looking for some of the stuff I mentioned, shoot me a PM and let me know.

Just as an FYI as well, I don't know how reliable this is, but I had asked one of the ladies working in the Toys section at Target if they were going to be getting more movie TFs. She mentioned something about there being some kind of big restocking in mid August sometime. So maybe at that point we'll see some of the new stuff with greater regularity.

One can hope I s'pose

Saw one set at the new Wonderland Target today.

Nothing much to report on the Transformers front.

Jackson TRU had one 25th Cobra 5 Pack which I bought.

Jackson Target had nothing

Jackson Kmart had 2 25th Cobra 5 Packs, I bought one. I'm still thinking about returning the first one. They are $4 cheaper at Kmart.

They also had 1 25th GI Joe 5 Pack but I bought that too. They still had the Snake Eyes w/ White Tiber and Stormshadow single figures I left last week but someone bent the cards in half.

I also snagged the Galactus / Human Torch Superhero Squad Mega 2 Pack.

Jackson Wal-Mart had a Snake Eyes w/ White Timber and a Stormshadow.

well, I"m back from ireland finally. It was a long day on airplanes. I did find a nice surprise when I got home though. I won a pepsi prime!!! I've never won any contest like that before. so now I have my one signed by peter cullen and an extra one. I stopped at target and meijer in canton tonight. nothing new to report.

well, I got an email from cornerstore comics that they couldn't get titanium menasor at comic con. I quickly placed an order with BBTS. hopefully they will have better luck. ugh.. I hate jet lag... I should still be sleeping, but here it is, 6:15am and I'm wide awake oh well, I'll just end up passing out around 9pm tonight I"m sure.

Livonia TRU has about 6 of the Justin Verlander McFarlane. It looks like they finally started getting full cases for local players like we saw with the Zetterberg figures at Wal Mart.

No TFs to report.

Why didn't I see this earlier, it'll be gone by the time I get there.

So I found the new 'red cap' wave of sigma six figures at Target in Livonia. I bought up flint, and Commando Snake Eyes, but left Storm Shadow. And no, unfotunatley they had no Red Banshees, and no Windfire CC.

Well, I did some hunting out in westland then tracked my way over to Ann Arbor(yes I know, completely opposite directions, but I wanted to hit belleville wal-mart, then remember I needed to go to the apple store at briarwood) Anyways, I found FAB Frenzy and robot replica Barricade. Ypsi walmart had 2 RR barricade and 2 RR Megatrons. FAB frenzys were at most places I went. Nothing else new. Its really slim picken's out there. Lots of protoforms still I did see 2 classics jetfires at westland TRU. No 25th Joe stuff anywhere. I'm out at my office right now. My McQuarrie Concept Artoo and Threepio were in, so I grabbed those. they are pretty cool.
