So during that time I ordered the city commander trailer from TFSource thinking they would take a day to process the order. Well they processed it that day and of course it was declined because my mailing address was different than what the bank had on file(Because it takes a day to update the address through the bank) so I emailed TFSource three times and STILL no response from them. I checked with the bank everything is now squared away on their end but TFSource wont answer my damn emails. Id like to cancel the order now and look for it somewhere else but again they wont answer the emails.
/end rant (Sorry I know its the sightings forum but...just let it be)

You think that's bad? This past July I ordered a SDCC Nemesis Prime from HTS and they told me my order somehow got cancelled. So I figured I could get one later. In September money was suddenly taken from my Paypal account, I emailed them at least 10 times telling them I didn't want it anymore but it was too late for that. A week later he arrives so I return him. In DECEMBER they finally email me saying they recieved him and would send my refund. Apparently not since I had to call them 4 times in order to find out they no longer used Paypal and my money was hanging in limbo. I FINALLY got my refund check TODAY. I understand they're a fairly new site but c'mon! July to Janruary just to get my stupid order problem resolved. If it weren't for they're exclusives I would never ever go near that site again.

Also Allen Park Meijers has the latest wave of Universe (Cyclonus, Hound, etc) and the Targets across the hill had they're Universe two packs (Roadbuster & Dirge, Ratbat & Springer) in the clearance isle for 30% off. I picked mine up for $20 instead of $30. They were getting ready to restock everything else. I don't what the latest G.I. Joes are but I see them all the time so if you are looking for anything specific let me know.

I was doing some consulting in Brighton today so my wife went with me and hit the stores in the area. She picked me up a Mighty Mugs Cobra Commander, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. Win!

When we got back to Lansing I found a Jetstorm/Jetfire 2 pack at the Okemos Wal-Mart and 25th Anniversary re-issue Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the Okemos Target! I had no idea those were being released!

i saw the TMNT figures this past thursday. i really didnt know they were out either.

Hey JT were there any more Jetstorm/Jetfire packs at the Okemos Wally World or was there just the one? And did you see any Shockwaves there?

The Jetstorm/Jetfire pack was the only one there and I haven't seen any Shockwaves since the ones I picked up almost a month ago now.

Thanks for the info. If I see any I will let ya know and I will try to snag an extra for whoever needs one.

Livonia Target has 25th Prime, Animated Supreme Prime, and the remnants of their exclusives (which isn't much) in the 30% off clearance aisle.

The Belleville Walmart had all of the new Universe deluxes and a pair of...crap can't think of the name but he's the repaint of classics Jetfire. Also had the new Robot Heroes and 2 of the repainted TFA leader Megatron. I am just writing this in a hurry cuz I have stuff to do, so that's why I can't think ^^; My bad.

*hugs her new Universe Hound, Cyclonus, and Starscream*

Anyone going to the xtravacon this weekend? Just wondering if anyone is selling anything G1 related. Im looking for a computron or abominus to add to the set, also a friggin Animated shockwave, and any of the older hasbro reissues I missed.

I will be at the Xtravacon with an Abominus missing only Hun-Grr's gun and Cutthroat's gun.

Sweet!!! Ill be looking for ya.

TFPredaking isn't going to be there, but he has a Computron that is dead mint. It's in fantastic shape. Send him a PM.

I'm gonna pass on Xtravacon this weekend because of the Auto Show Wheeee!

I have a 100% complete Abominus, in C8 condition. I'll be there.

(Take that, GM)

Mmmm Abominus.. now there was a cool ass Gestalt.

abominus is awesome. i just need hun-gurr, the weapons and the combiner parts. and then mine will be complete.

I made -$48 at the last show. I could have just woken up, thrown out 40 comic books and gone back to sleep and I would have been better off. Take that!

Mind if I ask when exactly Xtravacon is held, how much to get in, and where? Also what are my chances of finding japanese exclusives or things like that?

As for japenese exclusives, there may be some. I havent been to one in a long while(The last one I went to my girlfriend bought me G1 Devestator! )but I did see alot of the Takara Reissues, but I think that was it.

Oop! Thanks Bucket! I must of missed that part when I cut and pasted.

You're so mean.

Either way, I'm sure you'll be able to undersell me. Hooray for capitalism!

Doesn't seem like there's to many Japanese Exclusives there anymore. Those Chocolate Robot guys came well over a year ago and had a ton of imports. I don't have much myself, just a couple of MIB Superlink figures, Micron Booster v2.0 complete box, some other misc.

i dont think chocolate robot is around anymore are they? I havent looked at there site in a loooooong time.

Wow that's pretty cheap. Okay so what are my chances of finding Botcon exclusives? Like this year there is no way I can go, so if I miss a chance to get the set is it possible they would show up there? If so when might they show up?

Sorry for all the noob like questions but I'm cheap and on a budget and I figure since it's so close why not. Thanks again for all the responses guys.
