They were also at the Target in Canton on Ford Rd. I grabbed Leo Prime, but they still had Inferno and Overload . Overload has got to be one of the worst choices Hbro has made in awhile. Repainting a repainted figure, and putting it on the shelf while the other is still available.

It's supposed to be Armada Overload, and it's not even red...

Yeah, Overload is one of those "sorry but I'll pass" figures. I did grab an Inferno though

I just don't know where I can fit him on a shelf...I'm running out of space!

Finally saw the Inferno case at the Taylor WM, picked up Leo prime. They also had all the new Joe Comic Packs. The Allen Park Meijer and Target had nada.

No more hunting for a while now, at least until Ratchet comes out. :grin:

The Xtravacon was good. We missed you, HB!

They had an Overload at Livonia Walmart today. Nothing else from that case, though.

I've been around the Allen Park and Taylor areas and am still finding the latest waves of Animated and Universe Voyagers and Deluxe along with some the latest legends wave.

If anyone really is looking for the legends though, let me know which ones cause I see them all the time. Hey if anyone here is going to Botcon give me a PM.

Saw Samurai Prowl and Waspinator today, 2 each, at the Taylor WM, along with plenty of Blurr/Swindle, and the Soundwave wave, along with 2 Shadow Blade Megatron. He looks really nice, but I'm happy with my G1 paint scheme version. They also had plenty of all the new Joe Comic packs, as well as 2 each of the new 5-packs, which are horribly uninteresting.

I should be getting my BBTS shipment tomorrow, and it includes Henkei Cyclonus, as well as the Universe Ratchet/Hot Shot case.

My tax return should be here this week, too. :grin:

I actually made a mistake, and ended up with a bigger refund. That rules.

'They' were the ones who caught it...

Stop compounding my paranoia! :mrgreen:

Stopped at the Canton Comic City, they were pretty busy. They restocked their DCUC figs, the Green Lantern wave. I saw one each of the Deathstroke/Sinestro variants, figs there are priced $19.99, if anyone is interested.

the TRU roseville got a truck last night. so hopefully when i hit there tonight i will find inferno. it would be great considering today is my birthday, to find him.

by **Rijie** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 11:46 am

Happy birthday, ionacus!

The Allen Park Target had an Inferno and Overload today, no Leo Prime. Nothing else of note.

Still a good amount of Legends at the AP Meijer, just no Cosmos.

I picked up Waspinator at the Ypsi walmart wednesday night. they only had 1. There was also a samurai prowl that I left there. They had a Leo Prime and that tank one that I haven't bothered learning the name of. that was all the new stuff they had. I've also seen the Star Wars Hoth Speeder Bike Patrol Battle pack. I don't know how long those have been out, but I'm just noticing them now.

With botcon being on the other side of the country, is anyone thinking of going to TFCon this year? I am thinking about it now that I saw the Powered Convoy exclusive. I really want that :grin:

News Credits: 3 · by **Highbeam** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 6:38 pm

Just got back from the Belleville Meijer and snagged a Jetfire/Jetstorm pack (they've got 5 more at $19.99 each), and spotted the new Universe Legends (1 Cosmos, 2 Wheelie, and a few Hot Rods and Warpaths).

I've been giving it some serious thought and after careful consideration, I'm still on the fence. I'd really like to go if only just to go. I do so want the Powered Commander but don't know if I can afford the $150 price tag right now. I can do calculus with great ease. Why is money-math so annoying?

Because it has an answer most of us do not like, in most cases.

I was thinking about going, but then decided better. So is anyone from here going to Botcon? I'm not, but am just curious.
