Well, they made "Incinerator", the V-22 from the first movie (who tempted me quite a bit, despite not being a movie character). Unless they do a repaint, that's prolly close as you'll get.

Might be time to visit the hobby store:

I enjoyed the movie and pretty much like the movie toys for the most part but I wish they would get the rest of the human alliance figs out and get back to the classics series and the rest of the final figs of the animated line..

I picked up a leader Prime at TRU today. They're on sale for 39.99 and you get a $10 gift card if you buy $30 or more. Really nice figure, but the tranformation was frustrating. Terrible instructions. He won't stay in truck mode for long. I'll take my 2007 movie prime and put him in truck mode. Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th!

A friend of mine nabbed a voyager Mixmaster for me on his way back from Indiana. What a great figure! So much for only getting leader Prime from the movie line...

Yes, I was master of the Space/Time Continuum for a day. It was great :grin:

Don't remember if someone else saw the new scout wave or not, but I found the wave with "the doctor" and the next set of legends movie characters (with Mudflap and Bee) at the Ypsi Walmart. They had a few Mixmasters, Fallen, Prime, etc. too. The one little jewel I found and bought was the only red-painted movie Ironhide legend toy. When did they decide to make this? I didn't know they were ever going to make a red one...

On a random but still TF note, I love the attention my car's been getting lately XD Lots of people reacting to the TF geekery on my car, hehehe.

What'd you do to your car? I'm assuming it's the Jeep in your avatar and sig there.

In Kalamazoo, there was an old beater driving around with a Decepticon logo covering the whole hood. This was a couple of years before the movie came out, if I recall.
Back in '07, I was driving a beautiful 87 Chrysler LeBaron which, due to no fault of my own, met an odd fate with a tree. The trunk was replaced, but with no markings of any kind, so I put an Autobot logo where the Chrysler symbol would've been.
Unfortunately, that car died off soon after, but I did the same thing recently with my Chevy Lumina, tho I did have to pop off the Chevy cross this time.

Dunno how much people notice, though. I've been considering giving the car a custom paint job (Sideways has inspired me, ever since I noticed the toy is missing part of the paint scheme).

All good cars deserve to be Transformers.

I found a bunch of new figures at the Walmart off I-75 in Gaylord, MI, on my way back from Mackinaw City, MI to Chicago, IL yesterday ...

Mixmaster - 2 remaining
Voyager Megatron - 2 remaining
The Fallen (Robot Replicas) - 1 remaining
Sideswipe (Robot Replicas) - must've been there at some point but gone when I got there)
Scalpel - 3 remaining
Dune Runner - 3 remaining
Reverb - 3 remaining

I stopped at the Walmart in Big Rapids (nothing really new there), Walmart in Benton Harbor (had new Voyagers and a couple of Reverbs) and then at the Walmart in Michigan City, IN which had probably the largest Transformers selection (and section) of any Walmart I've been to recently. I picked up the Breakaway variation there as well as the 3 new Scouts ... but should've waited for the Scouts until I got home because I had them there waiting for me from HTS. Devastator was waiting for me as well when I got home from BBTS.

by **Vapes** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 5:53 pm

Devastator, eh? When's he coming to stores like Wal-Mart, Target and such?
I demand photo coverage!

I've been all around the area, but they seem content with the characters they have out for now. Maybe by the end of the month I'll start seeing the rest of the ones I need.

Haha, very nice. This weekend I had an idea for what I would do to my Lumina, were I to want to make her more Transformer-like. Think Sideways' movie paint job, but on a Lumina. Could be pretty slick, if I decide to go for it.

Hi everyone! For anyone as tired of hunting Leader Jetfire as me, Hasbrotoyshop has finally put him up. You can get him alone or as part of a powered up prime giftset for $10 less than the cost of both. I was able to use the BKTF09 code as well to get free shipping, which is close to $9 on that sucker, though some people have had trouble getting it to work. After seeing the fan-discovered ways to combine these guys, I can't wait. It looks so much better than the official combination.

by **bigwhitey21** » Thu Jul 09, 2009 10:59 am

found leader jetfire at the lapeer Walmart this morning. there was one left.
ughh what a pain in the @$$ to transform! but worth it. sweet lookin in any mode but more frustrating than any alternater to transform into jet mode..

Picked up HA bumblebee at the Canton WM this morning, there was one left.

by **Vapes** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 12:50 pm

I just found one at the John R TRU today. 'Twas the only one, sadly. The cashier said they sold a lot of them, though she merely said Bumblebee, I'm not sure if she meant this particular one. It's the first one I've seen anywhere around here.

Their movie display was severely lacking in figures. They got some new robot replica characters in, notably Sideswipe and Megatron, but not a whole lot of stuff hanging up otherwise.
The cashier said they get a couple of trucks this week, maybe I'll check back Friday or Saturday.

Can't wait to check out 'Bee, though. Waiting til I see my g/f, she wants to see him in the box. Actually, considering I already have the HA characters in Deluxe, I wonder if I should just keep them in the box.

I picked up animated ultra magnus at the AA TRU. They are marked down to 19.99. I used my $10 gift card. So $11 for magnus is pretty awesome. :-)

NO, he is well worth opening. The transformation is different, and the features better, you don't want to miss this guy because you have deluxe bbees open.

Up in the UP visiting in-laws. HAve seen quite a few Jetfire's, bought a Ravage, and a Reverb. Absolutely no movie joe stuff here. Apparently they are behind.

Jetfire is a pain to transform...seconded! But his alt mode is very, very nice. In fact, mine will be on display as a jet, or combined with Prime, if I can find a way that satisfies me.

Saw Harry Potter 6, and it was relatively good. Could have had more of the book details, but at 2 hours 33 minutes already, I guess they did a nice job. Best one yet.

Running a 10 mile run at the Houghton-Hancock canal tomorrow AM. Hopefully it will be fun... 8-}

I need to find a Jetfire...I really just want him for his alt mode

*Off Topic* Willow Run air show tomorrow!!! Sadly no F-15's or F-22's, but I think the F-16's and 18's will make up for it :grin:

My friend Jeff keeps complaining about the Blue Angels constantly practicing directly above his apartment. It's quite amusing.

by **Rijie** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 7:22 am

So that's why I've been hearing so many low-flying jets over my place. Scared the crap out of me a couple of times...

TT, the Canton Target has a bunch of the new GI Joe stuff, I was just there yesterday.

I still haven't seen Ravage or Jetfire anywhere.

Maybe they should have practiced more.

And checked the aircraft for malfunctions hours BEFORE rather than during the performance time, thus resulting in a short and not-so-awe inspiring performance :-(

This could be considered slightly TF related...I got to check out a MH-53 Sea Dragon, which is the closest I may ever get to something like Blackout's MH-53 Pave Low alt mode :grin:
