Leader For The Ages 2 Pack
Robot Heroes: Decepticon Sneak Attack 5 Pack
Star Wars I Am Your Father's Day 2 Pack

No, but I'd like to...

I'm going to head to Saginaw tomorrow after a few house showings I think so I can snag a Leader of the Ages 2 Pack. I have a friend in Kentucky who is going to pick me up a couple of the I Am Your Father's Day 2 Packs. I'm about to give up on walmart.com shipping me a good Robot Heroes set, I'm on the 5th one now.

Finally got a check from USPS for the SW Battle Pack they destroyed like 2 months ago too. They refunded the cost plus shipping but kept $2 for handling...It was the handling that destroyed it in the first place but whatever.

EDIT: I went to the Okemos TRU today, they had the usual stuff - no leader class Megatron. SW wise they had a couple of wave 3 Darth Vaders and a ton of wave 2 Luke Skywalker and Han Solo's. I'd like to see the Mortal Kombat wave hit that includes Reptile but I won't hold my breath for that.

I'm starting to kick myself for not picking up one of the leader megatrons at S. Lansing Target a couple weeks ago.


Oh and by the way if anyone in the Lansing area's interested....(Or if one of you guys are actually Brian Dumont) a friend of mine sent me this email

I figured I'd check it out.

Don't fret just yet, TRU and KB still has yet to see them. They are technically Leader Wave 2(one each per case), wherein Wave 1 was 2 Primes per. I wound't quite give up on Target yet, either. I'm sure there will be another burst of stock right around the movie release date.

I just picked up leader Megs from the Target in Westland, but I believe the Ford Rd. one had a Megs as well (at least Wed. they did).


Fun experience at Target tonight... Laura and I were browing and I decided to grab a leader Megs. We also went and checked out the movies, and I grabbed Office Space, Idiocracy, and Airplane...but that's beside the point...

Anyway we turned the corner to start walking up to the checkout,and I notice this little 3 or 4 year old boy staring at my Megs andwalking backwards. I held it out so he could get a better look, and he also showed me the Swindle that he was carrying and going to get.

He kept wanting to look at Megs, and his parents finally noticed that he was walking backwards and looking. They stopped, and we talked a little bit about Transformers, and the dad said, is this the one that turns into a gun, Megatron right, and then he looked at the back and was disappointed to see that he was not a gun now.

The kid seemed really happy with the purchase, but also very awed by the size of the leader class figure and its electronics (that he had to keep make going as the parents and my wife and I chatted).

It's nice to see the kids enjoying these as much as I did, and do!

My father is going to Japan and he is going to try and find me a MP Megs. I am gushing with joy!

I found a leader class Megatron at Kmart in Jackson, finally there is two!

TRU in Jackson had some more Saga Legends. I picked up 2 of the last 4 I needed. They had 2 of each clone trooper left.

Target in Okemos has the exclusive 3" Titanium 3 Pack. I picked one up, I have to admit it looks really nice.

Target in Westland had it too. I left it for now...

What did you think? I'm not a huge fan of the 3" stuff, I have passed the TRU 2 Pack many times now but I thought this one would look really good displayed.

All I've picked up so far are voyager Ironhide, Blackout, and Ratchet and Leader Prime. I can't spend any more, or I won't have any left to spend at BotCon this year, lol.

I was tempted...still am. I'm not sure I would open it, but like you said, it could be a nice display piece.

Went to Farmer Jack this morning to 'pick through the bones' so to speak of the store closing sale. Apart of the sale is 40% off books and magazines. They have a full display of TF Movie books; picture books, novels, etc. mostly geared towards kids, but pretty cool nonetheless.

Yeah, I've had a bunch of Porcupine Tree stuff for a few years... Blackest Eye is a good one

and VACATION WOOT!!! enjoy it!

Doubt it, most likely leader class.

I still need to find a second one.

yea leader class. cant wait to find the voyager class megatron.

First off. Happy Father's Day to those who happen to be... um... fathers. Secondly, I went to the Meijer's in south Lansing and par for their course, they are still two lines behind. Yes you can still pick up Cybertron figures there, and some Alternators to boot. Tracks, Meister and Skids I believe.

I hate that store. Mainly for the fact that my mother works there and we are NOT on good terms...

Anywho thats my report.

That Meijer actually has a ton of movie toys over by the lawn and garden center

In other news we took a trip to Fort Wayne, IN. Great car time to discuss the house stuff. The Wal-Mart on Maysville Road is like...the best Wal-Mart ever!

10x Alt. Rumble and Ravage, tons and tons of Classic Devastator, end caps of Transformers including all of the Wal-Mart exclusives except the Decepticon Sneak Attack. I picked up a Leader For The Ages 2 Pack and a couple of the I Am Your Father's Day SW 2 Packs.

I'm going to take a trip down there in 2-3 weeks (when their shipment of the Decepticon Sneak Attack should arrive). If anyone wants anything let me know and I'll pick it up and ship it to you.

Sorry man, I forgot you wanted them.

I created a note on my cell phone that has your name with Rumble and Ravage so I won't forget next time.

The Devastator sets were on clearance at Howell and Jackson. I think it varies store to store.

well, I'm out in pittsburgh, pa. hit a few wal-marts, targets and TRUs.. nothing new to report. I did find the saga legends ROTS clone trooper and the 3 wave of the TAC stormtrooper. it's the stormtrooper with the clone face underneath the helmet. I also preordered the war within grimlock bust from http://www.shopafx.com. they have some of the SDCC exclusives. no alt rodimus or titanium menasor.

don't forget the robot chicken star wars special is on cartoon network tonight at 10pm. I think they will replay every hour on the hour until like 6 am.
