Yay, my internet seems to be working again...I think.
I had a good day Sat with TT hunting for movie toys. Spent way too much money, but got all of the stuff that I wanted thus far.
At WM I picked up all of the Voyagers except Ratchet, and two more Wreckage. At the Canton Target, I grabbed seconds of Ironhide and RGs Booster and Spy Shot, a Leader Megatron, a Softimus Prime, and a second Robot Heroes Prime/Ravage...I can't get enough of either. At the Westland Target I scored two Robo-Vision Primes, an FAB Prime, an F4 Silver Surfer and Invisible Woman.
At the Westland TRU, I grabbed a second Blackout(the only one there teehee), and Legends Prime, Bumblebee, and Barricade, and Optimash Prime, I also socred another DCH Steel there.
It was a great day, but like TT said, it was suprising how poorly the toy release was handled by the retailers here. The consistency of stock from store to store left ALOT to be desired. Shame especially on WM, Kmart, and Meijer, for all but ignoring the fandom, and the Westland TRU's display was a massive disappointment.
The two Targets that we went to were much better overall; at the Canton Target they had very little out, but a helpful employee retrieved two whole push carts of stuff for us to browse, so they get a silver star. Westland Target had a great selection of stock, including two whole endcaps, but no Voyagers, and few Deluxes, so they also get a silver star. The rest of them flunk miserably.(Wait...at Kmart I found a Sig 6 Lt Stone, so they get a D- out of pity.)
Gah too much to get caught up with. The con today was slow and I didn't sell much at all. I did finally get ML Icons Masked Cap, both sealed and loose. I also picked up the Sinister 6 Box Set, as well as a second Xmen Box set, and the Urban Legends set, too. Got a Brown/Bearded Sentry to add to my variant collection, along with a Star Wars Clone Pilot to fly my V-Wing, and finally a G1 Buzz Saw!!
Here's the cool one though, I picked up a complete set of fan-dubbed Japanese G1 DVDs, Headmasters, Zone, Victory, and Masterforce!! I'm so stoked because I've never seen these shows...now I'm worried because I'm going to want all of the toys even more...
Sorry for the lost post, had to stay up to date.
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.
