Anyway. So, HA 'Cade is coming out soon, eh?

awaiting next dig accompanied by a smiley face along with another gratuitous suggestion to move on....communication is not our strong point.

I stopped by AA TRU at lunch. Found animated Ratchet and Arcee. There's still two Ratchets left. I grabbed both Arcees(1 for tfpredaking) and 1 Ratchet. I don't know if they have anymore.

dude rc13, what is that robot in your avatar? it looks familier.


i am scared for the legends figures. this time last year the universe/animated legends were out. and i barely found any of them. so far i havent seen the wheelie wave yet.

the robot is V.I.N.Cent from The Black Hole. It's an old Disney scifi movie.

Just trying to keep the tone light, haha. I've witnessed some weird scenes in forums where things get out of hand because somebody read someone's comment the wrong way. Not trying to piss anyone off here, that's for certain.

You guys are my only link to TF collecting til I get a new car. I miss being able to go browse whenever I want.
It's weird having so many cars sitting on my shelf but not having one I can actually use.

Scored 2 Mindwipes at the Dearborn Hts Target, none left, they also had at least 3 Scout Brakedowns, and the new Legends sets. Allen park Target had everything except Mindwipe, no new Deluxes, either.

Taylor WM has the Legends Devastator, about 10 of them, and also had the new Scout wave w/ Brakedown, one left.

Happy Hunting.

ooohhh, mindwipe...I'm looking forward to that. I'll have to check auburn hills target today.

saw lots of mindwipes and the new voyager optimus at the burton and flint targets today. how many repaints of the optimus can they make?
also saw the 1st wave of iron man 2 figures at flint toys r us.

well, apparently target is the place for mindwipes. I'll have to check Ann Arbor/Saline road target after work. I didn't see anything at Mich Ave Target in Canton last night except for a Bludgeon.

In my case now, I just ask K.I.T.T., my Knight Rider gps

Anyway, I was finally able to procure Animated Arcee and Cybertron Ratchet over at the Ann Arbor TRU. They had about three sets of each left. Other than that, there wasn't much of interest. About effing time...

Also the Target on Carpenter has the legends 2 packs, but they're not too exciting.

gods dammit! I didn't stop by there after work today because I figured it was pointless. I hope they'll still have them at my lunch time tomorrow.

Whoo, perfect timing too since tomorrow I start back at a certain company location on the side of the freeway that makes it easy to drop by that TRU after work. I just hope there's still some left!

Well, I had a good day of tranformers finds. I found Mindwipe at the Ann Arbor/Saline road target. they had 1 left along with 2 Defender Primes. I stopped at Carpenter road target thanks to a tip from TFPredaking and found Lockdown and Brawn. They still have 2 deluxe Ratchets and a repaint sideswipe. there were also 2 mindwipes and 4 defender primes. I then stopped at Mich Ave Target in Canton. They had 2 mindwipes, 2 defender primes, a bludgeon and the new Scouts. I picked up one of the Skystalkers to go with my Mindwipe. Good day.. Can't wait to open them all

Well, after messing with my new transformers, I have to say Mindwipe and Skystalker are awesome! both of them have fanstatic alt modes. Mindwipe is very solid in both modes. the only drawback is his "knives." They are kind of awkward and make his hands looks strange. Skystalker has a case of 2007 Movie Voyager Megatron feet. Other than that, he's got a decent robot mode. Lockdown looks great and is just as tall or taller than his animated version. Brawn is the weakest of the 4 that I bought. He has a good alt mode, but his robot mode has too many panels hanging off of his back. I do like that his blasters are part of his alt mode. I really would like a purple Ratbat repaint of Skystalker. I think that would be great. Maybe even a Soundwave repaint of Mindwipe. It would be a similar alt mode to Cybertron Soundwave.

I forgot to mention that the Mich. Ave Target had 1 of the repainted Leader Megatrons. Command Megatron or whatever it's called.

Wow, I must have been huffing your exhaust today Rodimus, I picked up almost all the of exact same stuff, except I missed out on Lockdown. I really like the way Mindwipe and Skystalker interact. Scattershot is a little disappointing, but hey...

The one thing RodCon didn't mention that I was able to find today was HA Barricade at the Walmart on Michigan ave. heading into Saline. It was the only one they had, though. Has anyone seen the wave of legends with Soundwave and Wheelie? I've never seen these guys in person, and I already bought Jolt and Arcee from the next wave. Maybe I should start checking K-Mart and Meijer...

oops, double post...

I was so mad; the power was out in the AA TRU!!! So not fair! At least I was able to find a Mindwipe (there is still one left) at the Carpenter Rd. Target. The only one left from the new deluxes was the slightly repainted Sideswipe (seriously, can't they do a blue and a yellow repaint instead???). So at least I got one thing today

MIndwipe, minus the knife gimmick not actually working, is a fantastic figure. I would take it as a CLASSICS version as I would BLUDGEON. Super solid in both modes. Very tight. Very awesome.

Brakedown is alright. Alt mode is awesome, robot mode arms are too long, but he does look like he belongs in the new Don Fig TF ONGOING comic.

Would like to grab Skystalker and Brawn, as well as, TFA Arcee, and Ratchet, but this side of 23 does not have them.

I totally agree about Mindwipe. He really is awesome. So Westland TRU still doesn't have Arcee or Ratchet?

Nope and neither did the Livonia store on 7 mile (two days ago).

found legends wheelie and soundwaveat the 13/schoenner kmart. along with the new legends prime and sideswipe. no arcee or jolt. oh well.


does anyone know where i can i find an archive of old marvel action figures? i am sorting all mine but i am now stuck. help me!!!!!!!

By request, I recently took some photos of my growing "stash" of toys Sad thing is, that's only half of them...the other half are still in boxes and piles waiting to be sorted and displayed somewhere...

All the pics here...

Nice collection. I want to do something like that when I get a more permanent residence. The shelves I saw though were at IKEA, they had glass doors on them which would help keep the dust. Cleaning off TFs is a pain I'm sure you're all familiar with.

The only thing I want to avoid is the way you've got your TFs set up on the middle shelf. It works for some people, having a massive group like that (especially considering how many you have compared to me), but I prefer to be able to tell where one robot starts and the other ends, haha.

I'm just trying to use what little space I have available since all I have is my bedroom, so it's not quite how I'd ideally like to display them. I guess it works for now And yes, cleaning everything is a royal pain...especially all the movie ones...

I got my shelving and brackets at Home Depot. I had thought about IKEA but figured it would likely cost more especially given the size of the shelves I wanted.

Yeah, your system definitely works. I just have some cheapish pantry shelves I got at Meijer.
I'm just talking about my dream house, someday in the future. It'll have a personal couch/Lay-Z-Boy movie theater and a toy room, haha.

EDIT: Was browsing the ToyFair article from SHH this morning: http://www.superherohype.com/news/trans ... hp?id=9076
Most of the TF toyline stuff wasn't too exciting, til I saw this:

HA Jazz???
There was also a picture of what looked like a Voyager Ironhide, but with a glossy paint job and smokestacks of proper length. http://www.superherohype.com/imageGalle ... rs_189.jpg

Also Leader Starscream.
Here we go again, haha.
