Well, you didn't really have much competition from the people with the dirty California Raisins figurines and Fonzie board games.

Livonia Walmart has one HA Barricade. Target has all ROTF deluxes at $9.99 until Saturday.

Livonia Walmart also had a fair amount of DCUC on a back endcap. They had at least one of each Wave 10 except Robot Man, a few from Wave 11, and a few from Wave 12.

Bellville walmart has 2 HA Barricades. Nothing else exciting.

The 28th Ave Toys R Us in Grand Rapids had several sets of the Shanghai set with Demolishor and the Ice Cream Truck twins. I did not see the Heman/Superman sets for those of you who are looking for those sets.

The Holland Walmart off 131 had a ton of the newer products out. 3 Human Alliance Barricades, 5+ Lockdowns, 5+ Ratchets, several Alliance Bumblebees and probably 5+ Brawns. There were at least 3 Legends class Wheelies, and Soundwaves there plus even more of Bluesteel Sideswipe and Power Armor Optimus Prime. This store also had the new Sideswipe and Optimus Prime Gravity Bots and Battle Chargers. There were also 5 or 6 Legends Class Devastators in stock as well as about 5 each of the Walmart exclusive Scout sets from the end of January, neither of which I've seen since the beginning of February.

I also checked out the clearance area of this Walmart. As of 11am this morning, there were 2 Devastators for $60 each, a ton of Fearswoop sets for $9 each, a Skyjack for $25 and a sole Masterpiece Skywarp for $30 (which I contemplated but passed on).

I also ran into a fan of some sort last night at the Holland Meijer off 131 (the one on the Northside). He was a stock worker at Meijer and as he walked by me and my Mom's husband, he said "nice shirt" to my Seibertron.com t-shirt that I was wearing. It took me by surprise at that moment because I had been helping my mom who has a ruptured disk in her lower back and has to have surgery tomorrow so I wasn't even thinking about Seibertron.com yesterday while were at the store getting stuff for her. I don't know if he was a general Transformers fan or a fan of Seibertron.com or what.

I haven't decided if I want those, yet. The Luthor is very tempting but I can get him with Supergirl (someday). I am very surprised by how fast they're selling, though. The TRU nearest me had four of each last Wednesday and they were all gone by Saturday. At $30 a piece, that's impressive to me.

Got a thor crossover at walmart on milford rd. as well. it was the only one I saw and have never seen before....looking forward to the punisher crossover. anyway, not so sure on the heman/superman stuff either....It's a buy just to buy for me.

We should get shirts or something so we're more easily identifiable at these events.

He won't. They are too cost prohibitive when you factor in shipping. And then there is all the other factors that can go wrong.

Ack, probably not. I am so busy lately.

I did pick up a Supes Vs. He-Man TRU set. It had the curddiest package EVER, but since I wanted to open it to read the comic and pose the figures, I was okay with it, because it was not opened even though the package was crud.

It's a nice set. I'd like to find one to keep MISP now.

Sorry everyone, I wasn't able to stick around at the con for too long because 1) the creeper, and 2) one of my friends wanted to meet up since I wasn't too far from her. I'm really getting bothered by that creeper though...if he hovers like that behind me again, I'm gonna freaking trip him, then point and laugh :BANG_HEAD:

He must have walked by our table about 4 more times. Don't know if he was looking for you or not. I gave him the stink eye :-x
