In case you missed it bud, I hid a leader class Megatron at the Okemos Target behind 5 Optimus Prime's. I thought you were looking for one but I couldn't remember for sure.

I will most likely be going but have never been to one before, so I was wondering how they compare to Botcon.

Well, back to the mind-slave pits of Finance-350 :HEADHURTS:


I would love to hit a Joe convention one of these days, maybe next year.

Is that FIN 350 at EMU? If so, I had that class, I was very happy with my 'C'. Just as long as I didn't have to retake the course.


Hopefully the Joe-Con is closer than Atlanta next year. What kind of Joe stuff are you into?

Yes indeed, Fin 350 at EMU with Dialo! Its not as bad as DS 265 was, but it's still a pain in the butt. I have over 150 credit hours in ( a few computer certificates that didn't count toward my major pumped up my hours)and had a GPA of 3.89 before I failed DS 265 the first time, and passed with a C- the second. Now, I'm skating through FIN 350 with a C praying I pass the final!!

After this semester, I'll have 8 classes left including POM 374 to round out the 3 classes with the worst professors at EMU. :BANG_HEAD:

You know something is wrong with the teaching when the professor of DS 265 tells the class first day that the pass rate is only 50%. One poor girl in my class was a 4.0 student and she was taking the class for the third time during my first stint. It was her last class to graduate :shock:

Are you still at EMU or are you done?
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

I finished in '03, thinking about going about for MBA but looking back at those three classes (DS, FIN & POM) makes it stuff to want look at a classroom again. I was also apart of the 50% who didn't pass DS the 1st time around.

As far as Joe stuff goes, I'm a traditionalist, I pretty much like through the original cartoon era. I've got a long way to go in rebuilding my collection that was lost to the garage sale gods long ago. So obviously I'm very excited about the 25th anniversary line.

Howell Wal-Mart had 3 leader class Megatron's on a display near the bedding isles this morning.

Brighton Target finished off my wave 1 of the Saga Legends set this morning with General Grievous and the Battle Droids. They also had a Concept Chewbacca that I picked up. They had a bunch of wave 3 TAC stuff and a few Saga Legends. I remember both Darth Vaders, Jawa & LIN Droid, Biggs Darklighter (Academy Outfit), Yoda and a bunch of Clone Troopers and Storm/Airborn Troopers.

No wave 2 Robot Heroes or anything like that :(

I saw 1 but I wasn't really paying attention. The one side of the isle is really cluttered so I'm sure there were more hiding. I did notice the price tag on the one I did see looked like it was full price again, but I didn't look at the box to see if it had a lower price sticker on it.

I was in Jackson last night, they still had a ton of them on clearance for $19.

I still never got a Devastator... :(

If anyone in the area is looking for Deluxes, seeing how spotty the distribution has been, the Taylor WM has a ton of them, except for Bumblebee. I wonder why he is been so htf? It's not even that great of a toy to begin with.

They also had one Megatron and plenty of Blackouts, both of which also seem to be relatively hard to come by. They still had one each Sig 6 Soldiers Gung Ho and Inferno. Some prick hid them so I put them back out.

Otherwise, the DB TRU had a McQuarrie Chewbacca, as well as the rest of that wave.

Woohoo! I week until Botcon! And vacation!!!!!!! 11 days off, plenty of time to give the moive a few viewings, just so long as it doesn't suck. :P
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

MISP preferred, but will consider opened NM/Complete, especially for older figures. Lots of TFs for trade! Please PM any inquiries, serious interest only!

Thanks to noob, I have now preordered Titanium Menasor from Cornerstorecomics.com. They sold out of the preorder for Alt Rodimus. Nemesis Rodimus(Menasor) is $40. Kinda steep for a titanium, but he is an exclusive and he's Rodimus :grin:

Haha check out today's "Shortpacked":

You'd probably have to know the characters to find that funny, but it hit the right spot with me. :lol:
