NO guarantees.

On an Xtravacon note...nice Mustang!

You missed me!


But in all seriousness i haven't been posting here for too long so it's okay. I live in Battle Creek by the way, so if your ever going out this way I'll let you know what I've seen.

Are there any stores with TF's around the exit 104 area in Battle Creek? I'll be there the next two Saturdays.

Xtravacon was fun once again. I only bought Armada Star Saber.. well, and a Molson Mirror/sign off of jsmith, but that's for my dad. I don't think any one new showed up. Some of you that are in the area should stop by for the next one. poorboy8u! I'm looking at you!

I'm splitting a table with God Magnus at the next one. Going to try to sell some of my 2007 movie stuff. Gotta make room for newer stuff

nice to see everyone again. Good to see you TT24. It's been too long.

I should totally write up a list of all figs I'm still looking for

Nice to see everyone. Sorry for being MIA to the cons, but the tike is priority one right now, and he needs a lot of attention. At some point, he'll be old enough to come along and look with me.

Highbeam...thank you.

Andrew, good luck with the home buying. Such an awesome thing to be a homeowner. You were super popular so I didn't get to talk to you much...

Tony, and Joe, always nice to talk to you guys.

Of course Todd, nice talking to you as well. You always have so much going on.

And last but not least, sorry for the funk I came in with, I just got done playing basketball on that side of town, and rather than drive home, shower, and come back, I elected to try to spray some cover up on, and hope I blended in with the crowd...

It was good seeing you too, Matt. Sorry we didn't get to talk much, I tend to have alot of regulars come in in the afternoon to chat things up. We'll get together when you get some more time...I'd like to have a party at my house afteer I get in and get everything settled, you'll certainly be invited.

I guess I am pretty popular there, even when business is slow.

If anyone in the immediate area could post or grab me a Ravage when you see one, it would be much appreciated.

One of these years maybe I'll make it back to see everyone

I still see Andrew every now and then, but with Boon gone, all I ever get is overdoses of the Todd

I can't really think of anything off of exit 104, but if head up to exit 98(B I think) that will take you too the hub of all shopping in Battle Creek.

Good old Capitol Avenue. I know the mall is there, but I don't remember what else. Of course, it's been about 10 years since I've been over there.

It's called B drive. Capitol is a different road.

Also, wow 10 years since you've been out here? A lots changed in that time.

Andrew, I wish I knew you needed a Ravage when I was Up North. They had Ravages and Jetfires up the yin-yang.

Hey! Just wanted everyone to know I did make it home, eventually... *laughs* Learned a few more surface street routes, which is good. And I stopped by the TRU that I was supposed to -- I think. Telegraph and almost-12-Mile? Had about 39485777777789283457 Wheelies, a couple Chromias and whomever the bulldozer is... Nothing new that I saw. Wish I knew the other toy lines that many of you collect... ^^;;; But I just don't think there was anything. (though a candy bracelet for a quarter was worthwhile - and eaten by the time I was out their drive)

I should get to Marysville Meijer tomorrow...

Ah, picked up Treadbolt yesterday - he's still chilling in my truck since the spare room is a mess and I need to get my jets organized.

(Today I got a packet of Gundam and Macross F gashapon from Hong Kong!)

You mean you couldn't read my mind? What good are you?

Pfft. Guy has a kid and thinks he doesn't have to contribute to my collection anymore.

WEll, considering you were the one usually contributing to my collection, it was something quite unexpected.

I do get to stores more often now with the baby needing this or that, so if I find something, I'll let you know.

That's much appreciated. I don't hunt very often anymore, maybe 1-2 times a week, tops, and even then it's usually 1 store and that's it. It's a combination of the ROTF line not interesting me that much overall, and trying to save money for the closing, if it ever happens.

I've heard that Ravage is a shelfwarmer most other places, I just haven't seen one at all yet. And now wave 4 is out...stupid stores are skipping waves due to overordering. Anyway, it's not like the line won't be available for another year, so I don't feel so compelled to hunt right now. Or, at least until the cooler figures start showing up.

Sup peeps. I don't recommend a Rhizotomy. Nor do I recommend two of them.

So has anyone found a spare Leader Class Jetfire? I have been tryin to snag one for my buddy.

Hang in there, Drive-By. I haven't even seen a Jetfire yet.

But, even though I don't hunt very often, my instincts are still there. I did find Long Haul and Nightbeat today at the Allen Park Target, there was 1 LH left, 2 Grindors, 1 Stratosphere, 1 Voyager Megatron, and 1 Mixmaster left. They also had 1 Scalpel, and 2 each of Reverb and Dune Runner. Not much in the way of Deluxes, except for tons of Wheelies and Chromias, and 1 Blazemaster.

Happy Hunting.

i only found A Nightbeat today, at the Target in Westland. COngrats.

LonG Haul is a good grab!!!

I found the Ghostbusters Minimates at Livonia TRU today! Much happiness has ensued.

Livonia Target had one Jolt and one Dead End this afternoon.

Thanks again for the trade at the con, Andrew! Are the lights and sounds worth picking up the batteries for him?

You're welcome, GM, and thank you for my second Nemesis Prime, I may even buy your remaining one next time. I'll try to remember to bring those Minimates, or we could get together sometime and you you take a look at what I have.

As for the lights and sounds on CYbertron Prime, that's a good question, I never bothered with them. I assume they're okay, I just tend to get annoyed with sound effects on my figures.

Long Haul is awesome! I should have bought both of them, at least to pass one on to someone. He's large and barely fits in his box, in robot mode, at least. Good articulation and a cool transformation make him worth it. Plus, he's G1, and Constructicon green...no "repaint wait" required. I'm looking forward to the new Mixmaster, and if the redid Rampage in G1 colors, I'd get him, too.

just waiting for the newer waves to hit the stores around me. even the new target at 12/dequinder is in need of a restock.

as of 2:00pm thursday (today) the center rd target in flint had 2 devastartors. wow thats a lot of plastic. also had a HA bumblebee


oh and the clio walmart had a couple leader jetfires

I stopped at the target on 54th and Clyde Park in Wyoming today and saw a shelf tag for a supreme combiner for $99.99 and knew it had to be lil ol Devvie. Asked a team member in the area and she said it should be 1-2 weeks before he should be in stock. So apparently Devastator will be all over Michigan soon. Can't wait to get him.

Also saw The Dr. (Scalpel) and the smaller version of Landmine (forgot his name) aswell. The latest wave is slowly coming in.
