I was bummed. I want to get one for 7.77, but not one that has been returned for whatever reason

I saw that one too. I did grab the last Universe Ironhide though What time were you over there?

We were there between 9:30 and 10 last night. That's when the walmart security cameras picked up chad wrecking the GI JOE endcap

Livonia WalMart has 25th Anniversary Optimus Prime! They had about 8 or 9 of them. I couldn't get an accurate count because they're on the top shelf.

Also, it looks like a dirty, rotten repackager has struck there. They had a Universe Sunstreaker package with what appeared to be a yellow Ford GT type mold of appropriate size with the back half of the roof accessory and an Autobot symbol that looked like it was printed out from his computer and glued on. It was a really top-notch resealing job, though.

that fake sunstreaker story is funny. they were talking about it on the TFWboards. its funny that on 2 different boards the same story is told by different people.

Maybe I should make a Tigertracks and return the red Sunstreaker to get my money back for that one???? Then someone can think they found an actual error Sideswipe.

I'm Ted Kord over there.

Stopped at Target in Canton after work, the only thing of note is a carded Major Bludd with a slightly bent corner. I grabbed another Prowl/Sunstreaker for parts-swapping, and another Stormcloud, which is up for grabs.


Classics Magnus was really happy that his clothes came. Poor little dude didn't want to be naked all winter...

USA Edition Silverbolt is officially one of my favorite TFs of all time. He looks like the Angel of Benevolent Badassery, a scholar and a warrior, powerful and compassionate, the most gentle of giants. I f***ing love Universe.

Oh, and here's a Shortpacked page where Faz elegantly sums up some more recent er, attitudes in the fandom:

Why do you guys go over there? Are you regulars? What do they have that we don't here?


K-Mart on Haggerty and Plymouth has 3 minicon 12 packs left for grabs.

Oh forgot to mention, I got Animated Shockwave and Skywarp from HTS.

I really like them both. Shockwave may be my favorite Animated TF, just because there are so many ways that you can modify SW to get the bot you want. Sure it's cool he's got his Long Arm modes which are basically just little tweaks to the SW modes, but still it is cool you can get a couple of bots from this, and a couple of alt modes, and then you can tweak whichever you like best.

And yes, Long Arm's face is entirely covered by a face cover when in SW mode. Unfortunately, SW's red eye is always there in Lon Arm mode, but thems the breaks.

The comic book forum.

Wow... what a game! That was very stressful today, but I'm quite happy with the outcome

I took Seibertron's advice and picked up a silver metallic sharpie. I used it on Iron Hide's face and Prowl's Missiles. It works really well on the missiles. The face of Iron Hide was difficult to work on. I got a marker that had a broad tip and a really fine tip as well. the fine tip definitely helps.

grr, I caught the last song on the last broadcast of David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk on VH1 Classic. Apparently it's been shown a bunch this week, but I didn't know. At least the last song is Comfortably Numb. It was amazing.

I have to use IE6 because of the web based applications we use at work and the forums here cause IE6 to hang but I can deal with that.

It also seems there are a lot more people in my area that post there. I still post here but the forums load and run so much more smoothly over there

even though it isnt toy news or anything, my dog pebbles had puppies yesterday.there would have been 3 boys and 2 girls, but the first boy was born stillborn. we still got 4 nice sized little puppies though.

Just to let you guys know.. This is what Ypsi Wal-mart should have up.

http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news/att ... entid=2582

but because Chad ripped it apart, they had to put up the figures on the normal pegs. Way to go, Chad.

It was bound to happen once I got the cash





Mwahahahaha!

It's not that cool looking. And nothing really new that I can tell.

I was able to find a DC Sinestro variant at Meijer in Westland. The Sinestro Corps have a leader!!!!

That is cool! Although it'll make it easier for the police. No speeding anymore!


I know the endcap thing doesn't look that great, but I like giving Chad crap about it.

Drive really fast until one joins in the pursuit. Then pull over and they will kindly put cuffs on you on its hood probably.

*had a sentient thought...

...and lost it*

The Allen Park Kmart has 3 Minicon sets, U-Ultras Onslaught and Silverbolt, and wave 4 Animated Deluxes, no Swoop.

RC13, I would have grabbed Sentinel for you, but I didn't think that you wanted to pay $10.99 +tax.
