Yesterday was such a good day for me. My wife and I decided to go see a movie and thought we'd go to the theater at the only decent shopping mall that's not an hour away. Usually, traffic on a Saturday sucks, but I got the road and it was pretty clear sailing. Needed gas, so I pulled into the station, almost on empty and thought damn, this is gonna hurt to fill up. But nope, was quite cheaper than it should have been. Awesome! Got to the mall, went up to the sixth floor to park and saw around a dozen empty spots right next to the escalator! Went in and decided to get our tickets first since the theater is always super busy. Headed for ticket booths, not a person around! After we got our tickets, we decided to hit up the food court for a late lunch and thought for sure we'd be walking and eating since the mall was designed for about 2000 people and there are about 40 tables. Get and there and what do we see? At least 1/3 of the tables are empty!

Now here's the best part. After lunch, I asked my wife if I could check out the toy store before she did a bit of shopping and, surprise, surprise, she said sure! We walked in and of course, I made a beeline straight for the TF section. Last time I was there, it was all Robot Replicas and Real Tech crap. But lo and behold, what do I see this time? Titaniums! A stack of them. Sunstorm, Cheetor, WWi Magnus and, holy crap!, a Fallen! Went around the corner to the movie section and, wonder of wonders! Deluxes! And they're not the Protoforms either! Dreadwings (pass), a Payload (pass), hmmm, some final battle Jazzes (tempting) and then, ca-ching! Arcee! Woot! So I snatched her up and headed straight for the cash register. What a great day and find! Only wish I'd had the cash to get a TiT or two as well!

You sure it wasn't just a dream? Go check if Arcee is there in your possession.

Anyway, gratz on such a great day & thanks for sharing.

The 'Chi' was definitely with u. But the tough part is to get it to stick with u on a consistent basis.

Wow your lucky haven't seen any of the new Arcee's except the blue one. No titaniums either man Australia is so slow... :-(

... and all I want is the full Unleashed collection and 2008 Deluxe Bumblebee on second list.

Actually, here in Taiwan, you get assigned seat numbers. And, to stick with the trend yesterday, we got really good ones!
