They're starting to hit some TRUs as well. I saw some at Westland and Novi today. Just Manhunters, Lo/Maash, and Mongul, though.

I got a sweet deal on DCUC Wave 14 (the Walmart wave) at the con on Sunday. I bought the full set of seven for $100. Then I sold the Tyr at my table for $20 so the other six averaged out to $13.33 a piece.

Very nice. If I could remember who was in that wave.

tru has a sale with all movie/generations deluxes for 7.99.

Ha...so true. I got 16 for 17.50 each...I thought that was pretty good since it's not out at retail yet!

got the new wave of reveal the shield figs from bbts.com. loving them. got bumblebee, g2 optimus prime, wreckgar, and preceptor. all great figures. they even tightened up the bumblebee mold. my personal favorite is preceptor. the instructions naturally suck but seem to be even worse with preceptor. once you figure him out though he's really nice. actually had to watch some youtube reviews to get him back in truck mode. lol

I was happily impressed with Perceptor too. His chromed bits make him pretty much perfect, and that you can fold his chest out. Now I need to find an unofficial microscope mold.

Wreckgar was so much better than I had thought. Can't wait to make a group of junkion bikers.

Kup is excellent. Huge feet, and the facial expression is a little odd, but ultimately a great figure.

Scourge is good too. Needs more detailed paint apps., but is really fun.

G2 Prime is the one that absolutely sucketh. He is so hindered by his bits, and his huge shoulders, plus the fact that the G2 Laser Prime mold was already very good, well this is not a step up from there, it's a bit of a step down, but an affordable option for those who want a representation of him.

Didn't open Bbee. Too many of that particular mold floating around my toy display.

I very much agree. I really wanted to like this guy but I just can't bring myself to. The only redeaming quality is I kinda like how his upper torso transforms..

That's disappointing...cause I'm in the same boat...but at least now I'm prepared. can't wait for the others though.

did anyone pick up infestation #1 this week? its a good read. got a free TF infestation patch and sketchbook too.

Mine finally shipped yesterday. I'll have it tomorrow. Along with Kup. Has anyone besides Rijie been lucky enough to find anything new around here? He found Kup at the Michigan Ave Target in Canton last Saturday. I've looked all over the Canton/Westland/Ann Arbor area and found nothing.

went all up and down gratiot on tuesday with no luck. we're so close to new figures i can taste it! but still nothing.

No tasting the figures!

CRAP!! my MP Rodimus is being held up in Wyoming Michigan due to weather. Now I gotta wait till Monday?

As is mine and most likely TFPredaking's.

The thing that annoys the crap out of me is that Grand Rapids shouldn't be having any more weather issues besides blowing drifting snow. And that shouldn't be on the main roads and expressways that UPS would travel. My guess is I could leave here right now and be in grand rapids in about 2.5 hours. Of course, who knows where the packages are because UPS's tracking has been so crappy in updating lately. They may actually be here and the website hasn't updated yet. Who knows... I was really looking forward to my stuff.

I agree wholeheartedly! might take me an hour longer to get there though. we havent had snow in 2 days now. that is more than enough time to get the main roads cleared off! I call BS lol

is anyone else sick of looking at snow instead of new figures?

beyond belief....there's a few things that have been tiding me over...snagged the new thor figs with a dcpi number from a fwoosh forum and I broke down and bought the retro ghost busters....still haven't bought any of the retro dc stuff...but I so want to (found a pick of when I was a kid and there they were...batman and superman...me and my Dad playing around)...just can't get over the 20 dollar price tag...thought I had a 20% off but waited to long on one and the other was for baby stuff.. really excited about some of this stuff...scourge, lugnut (hope he's better than that crap they put out in animated) junkion...can't remember his name...anyway, I could ramble on and on...dinner just walked in the door.

Did the downriver rounds and turned up nothing new. I did, however, go to a not Gamestop used game store and found the Transformers Commodore 64 game! Pretty random find that I'll keep with my box of Shrinky dinks.

HAHA I remember playing that a very long time ago. makes me want to dig my C64 out of the attic.

Has anyone had an update on their UPS tracking? Mine still says adverse weather conditions. We usually get UPS around now, so I'm thinking it not coming today.

What scale is this even in? The pegged wheels on the legs makes me think Voyager. I don't wanna buy another Leader Prime, lol. I just want the trailer.
