I will not except anything less than IMAX, which means I can't see it until next week.
My little bro saw it today with his friends. He'll definitely be torturing me.

^I'm going to try and catch it in IMAX, but I still haven't quite figured out if any of the local ones are 'True' IMAX. Grand Rapids is the best one I've been to, but that's not exactly practical.

Why would you go to the Novi Emagine, when you could go to the shiny new Royal Oak Emagine, where a certain talented and handsome Transformers fan is making his way up the ranks of the projection crew?

I got to watch it before it was even out. I love my new job.

Randomly saw an RotF HA Skids at my local comic shop today for a decent price, picked him up. Say what you want about the character's voicework, I love his design. A shame they couldn't avoid the door wings on the HA when the Deluxe managed to do it, but it's very cool.
Now I really gotta find a Mudflap...

Those doors come off with a single screw, if it bothers you too much.

I'm sorry but distance is a huge factor for me right now. Half hour vs. an hour away :???:

My poor Jeepy's been through a lot this year and he's costing me a ton in gas...

TRU Westland has Kre-O Sentinel Prime, and Kre-O Optimus (large). You can get them for the buy 1 get one 25% off deal.

And the Prime Kre-On has no open matrix chest. Sadly my Skywarp Kre-On had a bent neck cape attachment so it already has stress marks...just need the Starscream set now.

Fenton Wal-Mart had quite a few HA Roadbusters. $4 cheaper than k-mart.

Tue Jul 05, 2011 2:07 pm

went to the burton K-Mart and picked up the new legon class mudflap, ratchet, and crowbar. Also got Comander class Hatchet. they had HA Whirl, Tailpipe, and Roadbuster as well.
I really like Hatchet. Has a very unique transformation. I don't really get why all the dreds in the movie had the same alt modes but the 3 cyberverse toys all are different. Here's hoping that they remedy that with some deluxe or voyager toys.

I found the Wheeljack, Warpath, Thundercracker case about a week back at Target in Canton, MI. Not Genesee of course.

Wed Jul 06, 2011 7:36 pm

saw and left a single warpath at the target on telegraph in bloomfield (pontiac really)...no others were present.

Wed Jul 06, 2011 8:55 pm

Oakland county has no joy either.

Just puttin' it out there. :grin:

(At least, between 11-15 mile, Telegraph to John R.)

you scream, I scream, we all scream for starscream....and the how corny can you be award goes to????? me!

I found OP, SP and SS kreo's at flint tru. No more prime and a few screams and sents were there when i left.

The Generations line is really bare at all the Targets around here so I keep getting hope. Did a run on my hour break at all the big box stores around Genesee Valley Mall. Nothin. Found some Kre-os though. They really do look neat. Probably gonna pick up Starscream once I get through my list.

Thu Jul 07, 2011 5:58 pm

Randomly discovered/picked up the Target-exclusive Arcee. Kind of a hot pink/white scheme. Looks a whole lot better than the Elita-1, anyway. That'll suffice as a third bike for my RotF lineup. Can always paint one of them purple, if I feel the need.

Noticed there's a sort-of-neat repaint of Jazz at Target too, all black, but meh. No need.
Came up short on the HA Wreckers and other DotM figs (Wave 2?) today.

There is also the Space Case exclusive, and a Bbee (of course). I only bought Space Case.

looks like slow times until they go back to making generations figs. anyone excited for the Prime deluxes? i think i could be talked into a few myself.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jul 11, 2011 4:51 pm

the kre-o are always fun to buy. the basic BB is cool. did anyone buy headmasters on dvd this past week? i am loving it so far.

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jul 11, 2011 6:11 pm

i found the first season and the third season box sets of G1 at a used record store last month and have been pouring through them. incidentally if anyone happens upon an extra RTS windcharger at a marshalls or tj maxx i could desperately use him.

I'm just waiting to see Ultimate Optimus Prime in stores. This is the last DOTM toy I think I'm going to get. Then I just have to save up for the TF: Prime stuff and the MP-10 Prime to finish out my collection.

Tue Jul 12, 2011 10:00 am

I can't bring myself to want the Ultimate Prime when I know that the Takara Leader Prime with the nice-looking wings and guns is out there.
No trailer, but roboto mode looks a hell of a lot better.

That MP-10 Prime will definitely satisfy my need for a trailer. I hadn't heard they were making another, I'm all excited now! Saving up is definitely a solid plan, wow.

Yesterday, I saw a pair of the big Kre-O Optimus at a Walmart by (I wanna say) 14 and Groesbeck. I think that's a bit of a drive for some of you, I wasn't exactly in my own neighborhood at the time either, but Walmart Supercenters. Keep an eye out. They had a whole floor display for the Kre-O.

Check Kmart for Ultimate Optimus. My local one, Ann Arbor Rd., Canton, had two of them, as well as Voyager Sentinel Prime. Priced at $80, I chose to wait, but someone may want to buy it ASAP.
