Want to know if there's a chance I can get yesterday's shirt (peas in pod) for my wife, since I forgot to order it after work yesterday. Hit me at "grant" at my site "grantb.net". It's cool if the answer's no, but no harm in asking, right?

Welcome aboard GrantB.

For those of you who don't know, Paul (Starscream) is one of the owners of a pretty cool online t-shirt shop called RIPT Apparel. They've got some pretty kick ass designs. Go check it out and support one of our own.

Thanks, Seib. I'm keeping the thread bookmarked, but I won't be posting much about sightings until the non-RotF stuff comes back, because until then, I'm not really looking for anything!

Target Rosemont had 2 each of HA Bumblebee and Scout Class Nightbeat and Ejector. Ejector is so cool, I bought him. He's a perfect starting point for a kitbashed TF1 Dispensor, I wish I could paint worth a whit.

Where'd you see Grindor, I want! I've only ever seen one Long Haul, which I bought, and he's so worth the hunt.

by **clubkid74** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 8:23 pm

I saw a Human Alliance Sideswipe at the Western TRU in Chicago this afternoon. It was there around 3:40PM.

I have yet to see Long Haul in stores yet. I saw a Grindor a the Touhy Walmart a few weeks back, but Long Haul was already gone when I was there. I buy most of my figures online through BBTS so I've already got Long Haul and Grindor (Long Haul's gallery is up and Grindor's should be up this week). I'll keep an eye out for them for you guys when I'm out.

mine should be arriving soon from HTS. i stopped at the mt prospect walmart and rolling meadows walmart hoping to find these but no dice. mount prospect has jack **** for new stuff other than the new robot heroes. arlington heights target had a lot of variant cannon bumblebees and mudflaps. at least 4 of each. rolling meadows walmart had a lot of newer stuff up to wave 4 deluxes. there was 1 ice cream truck left as of 3pm. i snagged one to have as extra for my galleries of those guys and in hopes that repro labels does something fun for it.

Remember that mold Scorponok combines with the Blackout/Grindor mold.

does it i now feel stupid here but how does it combine with that

News Credits: 9 · by **Hip-Hoptimus Rime** » Thu Aug 27, 2009 8:15 am

I've never tried it. but Scorp just clips onto Blackout's underside. One added feature is that you can use Blackout's propellor-spinning feature to spin Scorp's claws. Pretty neat, I must say.

Wow, way too long to go w/o an updated sighting!

Target Rosemont had 4 Human Alliance Bumblebees and 2 HA Sideswipes! They look really cool, can't wait to get them.

Yeah that sucks when you're at a store, you're looking for a new figure, the store is pulling out brand new off-the-truck stock, and what you're looking for isn't there. I had that happen at a Target a month or so ago. I was right there while a bunch of employees were feverishly putting out a ton of new stock, but I had no luck getting what I wanted after waiting for 20 minutes.

I'm still looking for RPMs Jolt and Sideswipe. I haven't seen them anywhere but I've seen all the others. I'm starting to think that those two haven't been released yet with the current waves that are available at stores.

I should be getting Human Alliance Skids, Arcee, and Mikeala today or tomorrow from BBTS. I hope to have the galleries completed for that set and HA Sideswipe by this weekend. I'm really excited about HA Skids (HASAM?).

Man, I used to live 10 minutes from there. Of course, that was 15 years ago and it was a strip mall with a Venture store back then, but still...

My wifely spouse works late tonight, maybe I'll head into town and check it out. [british accent]Good show, 007![/british accent]
