Nice job finding those minicons... I'll check Plymouth this afternoon.

Thanks. You can take my extra if you don't find them.

Yeah, it was $3.09 if you used a credit card. A co-worker of mine found it at $2.99 on lunch today, I forget where he said it was.

Yeah, RC13, I always fill up in Dearborn, it's always at least .10-.15 cents cheaper than Canton. I think being closer to the Big 3 hotbed helps.

Kohl's in both Okemos and West Lansing have Animated deluxes w4. I picked up 2 each of Sentinel Prime and Swoop. The Okemos store had 1 Sentinel Prime, 3 Swoop and about 6 Elite Guard Bumblebee's left. The West Lansing store only has about 12 Elite Guard Bumblebee's now.

I picked up Elite Guard Bumblebee at the Okemos Wal-Mart too.

No mini-con 12 packs at the South Lansing K-Mart as of 2:30PM today.

Comic City in Canton has the new carded Joe wave, I grabbed Wraith and the Bazooka Trooper, left the rest.

Okay, I know I'm impatient, but, has anyone's city commander order moved beyond processing yet? I've never had to wait this long to get notification that my order is in.

You did it! And I suppose you got my variant Sideswipe cover too. I swear they hate me there.

I was able to get the Paratrooper after Andrew had apparently already rifled through the set. I was wondering where they went and who in their right mind besides me pays $10 for a joe figure.

I just clicked ship my loot on BBTS. hopefully I should have city command by monday. I picked up Swoop at Kohl's on the way home tonight. the kohl's on michigan ave in canton had 1 swoop and 3-4 sentinels left. also 1 elite guard BB. they had a few new SW figures I'd never seen before. One of them was Jodo Cast and another was a new Ep3 clone trooper. the target right next door had one Universe Stormcloud. It is still there.

yay Swoop!

He is all kinds of fantastic isn't he?

I broke down and added a Henkei Powerglide to my order at BBTS. I hate myself for it, but that toy looks so much better in those colors. Damn you BBTS! If you hadn't gotten your City Commanders so late I wouldn't have been tempted to add him to my order to save on shipping. Oh well, it's getting set aside until Christmas. One of my relatives will buy him for me.

Yes, he is really cool. not the greatest beast mode, but a great robot mode. Grimlock and Snarl dont' look very smart. Swoop looks like he's brilliant. For some reason I kind of see BW Silverbolt when I look at him.

Swoop does look like the intelligent one of the three.
Snarl ( :-x

) look slike the muscle
Grimlock looks like the leader.

They are very well done in that regard. Great finds guys.

Lol, rifled?? You make it sound like I tore the place apart! I did want the Bazooka Trooper really bad, and Wraith just looked to cool to pass up. I don't know about the variant SS cover, I do believe I ended up with cover A. I'll make it up to you.

I'm just teasing. I really did not think you had the SS cover. Rifled was just used to heighten my level of chain yanking.

i think in the original cartoon, swoop was smarter than the other dinobots. i think his G1 bio even stated he was smarter.

I could be wrong(I usually am) but I think my sideswipe and ironhide will be here today:-) tracking says they are in Ann Arbor :grin:

BTW, tfpredaking is going to be away from a computer for a while. Let's make fun of him while he's gone.

HOCKEY IS FOR WUSSIES!

Better step on the ice and play before you say something like that.

I think you will like both of them. I really enjoyed mine. I think they are both excellent.

I'm definitely getting Sunstorm! Chad, if they go up on BBTS and you're not back yet, I order an extra Sunstorm!

I've been trying to post this since Friday but I pickedd up universe silversteak from Taylor walmart. They only had one. No sideswipe or ironhide.

News Credits: 194 · by **RodimusConvoy13** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 6:57 pm

I fixed my Sideswipe. It involved removing 5 screws and I had to move the head piece up one notch. now the back turns 180 degrees. He and Sunstreaker are awesome next to each other.

by **poorboy8u** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 7:15 am

Ironhide,sideswipe and silverstreak are now all at Taylor walmart.

Confirmed. I grabbed the last Ironhide, about 3 each of Sideswipe/Siverstreak remain. Plenty of Acid Storms and Galvatrons, even a couple of Stealth BBs from the Movie line. Nothing else of note.

Can't wait to have my POL shipped!
