Weapon: Dual-Sonic Disrupter Gun
This is appropiate, considering they are the ones who invented the term Seeker, if it wasn't for them, we would call them Decepticon planes or something weird.

Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

They're probably just expanding thier toy departments to absorb the extra inventory generated from all the K-Marts that have been closing down. If you ever want to pick up an animated Lugnut for $31.99 or maybe an animated Oil Slick for $17.99, then K-Mart/Sears is the way to go. The K-Mart down the street from me is in it's final days of closing, and everything in the toy department is 30% off...it's STILL more expensive than the Target across the street...I mean jeeze they're still selling Real Gear bots from the first movie, and they want 10 bucks for em...not thanks.

I remember buying original Battlestar Galactica merchandise in the late 70's from Sears..


And I was right there buying my Micronauts and Sears exclusive Star Wars playsets! :lol:

Nowadays as an old guy I am a 17 year veteran of Sears selling appliances. My store has been off and on over the years since the original toy department went kaput back in the day. Mostly Christmas now. However, around June 15th, I noticed that they had a few cases of ROTF toys in the back room. Not that big a deal, since I had already found them all at Y'all-Mart and Target much prior to that. But as time went on, I noticed that they continued to sit there in the stock room. And sit there. And sit there. #-o
Finally, I had to actually go to the MCA of the childrens department and say " Ya know, there are only TWO days til ROTF hits theaters, and you guys still have all the toys in the back. You are going to have that stuff laying around forever if you don't get it out now, cause its all been out at other stores for a while already."
She thanked me and had the stuff out by the end of the day, and a good portion of it has sold, despite the deluxes running $14.99, and Voyagers running around $26.00. Still a few V and L class left.

Well said! :APPLAUSE: Over the years I managed to pick up a plethora of my Ranger stuff at a good discount back when Sears and Kay Bee were in cahoots for Christmas. Clearance and associate discount equals happy wallet! Hopefully, Bandai will manage to squeeze into the mix again this time around. :-?

Don't worry, when I was seven or eight (1978) I remember going to Sears and buying the Millennium Falcon and getting a bunch of Star Wars figures (at different times; didn't get any when I bought the MF). Also picked up some Micronauts there too.

So this is good news; hopefully the prices will be competitive with Target/Walmart/etc.
