Joe, you're in the gallery on the BotCon page about five times!
A few with you holding up the pillar in the background here, here, here, and here.
One with you in the dealer room here (that's my hat right next to you!).

I also made the botcon page a few times. Chad did once.

In this picture, look just to the left of the farthest showcase, you can see Chad, and them I'm a little ways over from him.

Hey Matt, did you and Laura stay for the Sunday Hasbro panel or did you end up leaving early?

Have fun losing the "Wisdom" of the ages today

Hope everything goes well!

We should plan a get together for Michiganders sometime soon. I believe Todd and Tony talked about Motor City Comic Con Day. What does everyone think

BOON! Whats up little buddy

We did not stay for the panel. Basically, we got up packed, loaded the car, checked out, and then went an perused the dealer room one last time. Nothing new, so I turned in my survey and we left for home.

Stopped a few places looking for the Animated, but only found them in one spot, and was able to pick up the ones I listed earlier.

They only pulled one wisdom tooth. Man they confuse me. I got told something different everytime I go back. Now his story is that the other two on my right side are great so there is no reason. So he just pulled the one to match my other infected that he pulled, and drilled another cavity (5 total this month :-(

-- well that is 5 total for my life as well).

I don't want to make Chad feel badly because I know he wants it, but OMG, Victory Saber combined is just freaking huge! And AWESOME! In the pictures he looks a bit lame,but when you hold him in your hands and you make the transformation of the two into one, it is just freaking awesome! Now I feel badly for buying it because I know Chad wants it...

I did buy TRU Jetstorm today, and 3 leader packs, 2 Crimson leaders, and 1 joe leaders, and another set of the Nightwach Cobras, and Scar and Fred sets.

But yeah, I am feeling a bit =P~

Oh and I bought the new RG repaint Photon T-34 (Spyshot repaint in black I believe), and broke him transforming him. Elbow joint snapped.

Oh and Pete did replace my battle-damaged Rodimus with a new one, this one transformed fine, but was looser than my other version.

Like High Beam said, Westland TRU. There were many more Wingblade's left than Jetstorm's, but I think there were at least two Jetstorm's, and 4 Wingblade's, something like that.

No more Crimson Command sets though.

Chad, I would hate to do that to you guys. I mean, I am sure I can hunt up a better one at some point, this one does not come with instructions, a minus for me, but as you said missiles are on the tree, and he is complete, and he is fabulous. Taller than Scorponok and Overlord!!!
Stands about to Fort Maxx's waist.

whoa.. things have changed a bit again. :grin:

I did find Jetstorm. They had two at the AA TRU. One is mine, the other is Chad's. well, time to mess with more of my new toys.

Good to see you again, Highbeam! :grin:

Yeah, my last post the Avatar was on the right, then bang it's back to the left.

I guess Ryan took it to heart that we did not get the RESOURCE, and especially the DESIGN awards at Botcon.

Whoa, everything's on the left side now O_o; At least it's not a huge, really wierd change

All the stories you guys told me about Botcon make me regret not going! Gah!! Someday I shall go to a Botcon...! *fusses* Now I want those TF:A figurines so bad...want Starscream, Prowl (even if his legs fall off all the time, lol!), Jazz, Blitzwing, Grimlock, and maybe others... :3

Finally got my Jetstorm out of his box (I should've brought mine with me to the comic shop XD I felt left out!). He really does remind me of Soundwave, which is really neat. I'll take some kewl pics of him in the sunlight tomorrow.

"Bubblebath...yesss...."

XD

I have Jetstorm standing next to animated Lockdown. they are the same height. Lockdown is so frakkin' tall! :grin:

the jetstorm figure is really great. I never had cybertron jetfire or sky shadow. I love the paint scheme for this one.

So, is that a yes or a no

Either way, I want to stop by your place badly and drool for awhile. I'll bring my own paper towel

Pam, Ryan said the shirts should shrink in the wash, so you may be ok. Either that or you could consider gaining a ton of weight

The funny part of this site change, I was just starting to get used to the avatar on the right. I still prefer it on the left though and I'm glad Ryan changed it back. :APPLAUSE:

TRU Dearborn is getting the Exclusives now, I saw 1 each Jetstorm/Wingblade, picked them up. Do you still need Jetstorm, tfp?

They had some Joe Exclusives too, 1 Cobra set, 2 Joe sets, no Crimson. No more 5-packs, either.

Gah, back to work. At least summer will be here soon.
