Okay, so noob will help with the rescue... just remember.. the 99% complete Trypticon is mine! MINE!!! :grin:

also, I guess it's not so much a rescue mission as a black ops assault mission. :grin:

The Okemos Target still doesn't have much. I picked up the last Leader Class Brawl for Drive-By. The Okemos TRU has nothing per-usual and the Okemos Kohl's has a half dozen of Jazz, Wreckage and Scorponok.

So I was in Westland and checked out the Target and Sam's Club:

Sam's Club: 3-pack Brawl, Bonecrusher, and Jazz (6)

Target:
* Robot Replicas Barricade (2)
* Deluxe -- Movie Jazz (1), Wreckage (2), G1 Repaint Jazz (1)
* Movie Scout Skyblast (1)
* Leader Class Brawl (1) and Optimus (1)
* Titanium Series Starscream "War Within" (2), and Ultra Magnus "War Within" (1)
* Legends Class 4-pack with two types of Optimus figures and 2 Megatrons, which I don't see listed on the sightings page (5)

...and others; check the sightings listing for the Westland, MI Target for more

Really wish I could find Voyager Blackout somewhere...that's the last one I'm trying to get (until I get more money, of course :b ).

There is no longer a WWI Magnus there...

Target in Jackson had x2 Dreadwing, x1 Final Battle Jazz.

Kmart in Jackson had nothing

Wal-Mart in Jackson had x8 Voyager Megatron / Optimus Prime. They also had 2x Dreadwing, 1x Payload, 4x Leader Class Brawl and some wave 2 Saga Legends. I found a Boba Fett and Sandtrooper! The best part is they rang up for $3 each!

If that's the same Lapse of Reason that posts here, I would think that there's a very good chance that he's legit.

EDIT: Looks like it is.

That's basically the price end of what he goes for on ebay. A whole 2005 loose set went for $150 last week.

oops didn't check the forums here.
yeah i don't really follow the prices of that set too closely, there's such a difference between ratchet and ironhide?

I found an Ultimate Galactic Hunt Holiday Boba Fett and McQuarrie Chewbacca at the Belleville wal-mart. I picked them both up. nothing else new though.

News Credits: 5 · by **God Magnus** » Sat Sep 01, 2007 7:31 pm

Okay, it's been a while since I've had a decent hunt report. Most of this probably won't be new to you guys but it was pretty much all new to me.

Wonderland Target: Payload, Dreadwing, all the new Real Gears, Black Suited Superman.
Westland TRU: Ultimate Bumble Bee, Movie Robot Heroes.
Westland Target: Plenty of G1 Movie repaints, Dropkick, Payload, Recon Barricade, Final Battle Jazz.
Canton Target: Titanium WWI Magnus and Megatron. I bought the Magnus. :grin:

Haggerty & Ann Arbor Rd. K-Mart: Interesting story (see below).
8 Mile & Haggerty Target: New Real Gears, Movie Robot Heroes.
7 Mile & Farmington K-Mart: Titanium WWI Megatron and The Fallen, Final Battle Jazz, Dreadwing, Arcee.

Now, two interesting "tales of interest!"

Upon reaching the K-Mart at Haggerty & Ann Arbor Rd., I head straight for the toy section. As I approach the action figure aisle, I see a guy inspecting a 6" Titanium box. I can only see the side of the box but as I creep (rush) ever closer, it begins to become quite clear. It's Titanium G1 Ultra Magnus!!! I lengthen my stride and swing around him so it doesn't look like I'm sneaking up on him. Seconds go by that seem like an eternity while he turns the box over in his hands a few times. Finally, I ask him, "Hi, were you gonna pick that one up?"
"No, I was just looking." he replies as he sets it back on the shelf.
"Awesome!" I exclaim as I retrieve it from its resting place.
Needless to say, I bought it, practically bouncing in the checkout lane. Woo-Hoo!!! :grin:

Now for the horrible part of my day. Normally, I avoid going to malls at all costs. Today, I decided to swing through Westland mall to check out Khol's, FYE, and a few other places. So, what should happen? In the process of wandering around, I run into three ex-girlfriends. One mall, three disgustingly awkward, frustratingly infuriating conversations. How's that for a kick in the nuts?

Also, at a few places, I saw what can only be described as the second coming of GoBots. They're these really ugly little things that were in the toy car aisle called "Robo Rods" from some company called "Maisto". I tried to find pictures of them but they aren't on their website.

Well Michigan lost

I raided the stores in Ann Arbor though.

I ended up with a Dropkick from Target, 2x Meantime and a High Score 100 from TRU and a Black & White Supergirl from Kmart.

TRU had one Meantime left.

Grats on the Dropkick bro!

I just wanted to post a pic of this guy because I'm so excited about having one!
