Instead of hunting, all I have to do is wait for High Beam's reports, and voila, instant shop by shop analysis in my area.

Now if he only did GI Joe and Star Wars too...

Even the sun shines on a dog's rear some days.

Besides, the only reason that you guys got so damned good at finding stuff early was that you were mimicking my legendary hunting prowess! And copying my techniques for calculating in-store probability! Yeah, I used to rule. I'm getting old. :cry:

No sightings to report, slept in this morning, and it felt great.

Yesterday I picked up the TRU 8in Joe 3-pack(Dearborn, there were 3 left). Used a 10% off coupon. It's pretty cool, and I think that Barrel-Roll is awesome.

Sparty, what are you still looking for?
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

Rijie Seeking:

Botcon 2009--Souvenir Sweeps
Botcon 2010--Souvenirs Rapido, Scorch/Shattered Glass Ravage


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 finally found some Transformers sleep pants. How long ago were these first discovered, about a year ago? Anyway, they were at the 7 mile & Farmington K-Mart, just in case anyone else is interested. There were a couple left. They also had a Concept Bumblebee if anyone's still looking.

Went hunting for Wave 2 GI 25th tonight, no dice.

Livonia WalMart: Note much to note except a ML Thor & the latest wave of Movie Dlx sans Concept BB.

Livonia Target had 4x G1 Screamer, 1 G1 Jazz & 3 each of the new exclusive scouts.

I carry a notepad with me when I go shopping :) I used to go by memory, but if I'm going to more than one store, it's better to write it down.

Hehe, it's ok. Yeah, I'm definately a female; check the profile :) I think the "seamstress" and "fangirl" bits kinda give it away.

I'm so tired of being sick.

I finally left the house for the first time in almost 4 days and picked up a SWTF Death Star at the South Lansing Target. They also had one case of wave 2 GI Joe figures, every card was smashed so I passed on them all except the Serpentor. I had to buy him to play with, I wish he came with a staff though.

TRU in Okemos had a couple of new Star Wars Battle Packs. I picked up the Jedi vs. Sith and Jedi vs. Darth Sidious. They had another one that was a TRU exclusive but it came with a $60 price tag.

Sorry you are sick.

Others who want to buy teh Deat Star Vader, consider Hasbortoyshop. With the promo code 25Fall, you save 25% and get free shipping. It comes to about $39 and will be delivered right to your door step, and at this time, if you buy $25 worth of SW you get a free Saga figure. I got Leia in Endor gear. To see if it would be someone different the next time, I was going to order other items, but it was her again, so I passed. 8)

Yeah, I was going to order it from HTS but I had a coupon for $10 at Target so I used it on that :)

And thanks, now my girl is getting sick. I'm better but still not 100% yet.

From what I've seen, it's rare to find the deluxe and voyager class figurines, but fairly easy to find the rest.
