Yes,

Well, I don't report as much as I should because I just assume the stores I frequent in SE Michigan are the last to get anything (and I don't have a digital camera), but THIS time...I'm honestly shocked that this warranted a front paged sighting. Not only has this been in stock for over a month at Westland's TRU, we've consistently had more of it than any other hyperchange figure. My mind is blown to know that anyone near a large U.S. city has had trouble finding Almost-Star-Convoy since February.william-james88 wrote:Just wondering, a lot of people are saying they already saw these, but we didnt get any e-mails about it.

I can't recall what other stores have him, but I guess I'll check his saturation next time I'm on my (probably year-long) Arcee/Chromia hunt, which FINALLY yielded a Brainstorm at the Ford Road/Beech Daily TJMaxx; but I left him because, like the one I bought even cheaper at Kmart last month, he has no headbrace, which means Arcana's head will vanish into his depths with any play whatsoever, yes?

Sure, but regardless, the staff wouldnt have noticed it because the in store sightings page is not the place to report news that is aimed at the staff. They will only post what they get in e-mails. The sightings page is more for the community and other collectors. For the staff to get it, it must be sent by e-mail to either news@seibertron.com or sightings@seiberton.com.

Because I saw those two all over weeks ago and just assumed because we get things here in general so late they must already have been everywhere. I guess similar to that OP someone else from Michigan was talking about being all over here before the news.
I realize the article mentions Canada several times, I just don't know if that means you think Canada is first to get these or that Canada has been waiting on these while they've been out elsewhere a while.
Not a big deal, I just sometimes don't know quite how to parse these sorts of news items.

Well you know what, from now on, if ever you get a new shipment of a tf toy that is new to your store, take a picture and send us a message in the link found in my signature. If it's news, we'll front page it. Also, if you can spot any new listings in your database regarding upcoming masterpiece figures, or platinum sets, or Robots in Disguise COTF figures, please let us know the SKN and the Price, even better if you take a pic of the listing. That would be a great help to us.

Okay that's good to know. I work on the floor so I don't usually access the computers, but I can definitely shoot you a line if something interesting and new is on shelves.
