    I think my Walmart still has the WFC BB, but the figs aren't clearance yet. I could snag one for you if you really wanted.

    Went to Fred Meyer today. They were having some sales. Picked up two RTS shelf warmers for my nephews overseas. During my time in the aisle, saw another person come and look at the TF section with a look of utter disappointment. Ya, anything even semi-decent has been cleaned out! Damn robo-vultures! About four Ejectors remaining. I think there are less than 10 TF items remaining. I guess Freddies won't be getting Wheeljack or Warpath anytime soon. :banghead:

    I don't know what people are expecting, after near a week of these suckas being on clearacance for ridiculously low prices, did everyone expect awesomeness to be left on the pegs or shelves. I've been getting moms and grandmas to buy up the stock at my Freddies, any of the figures. I tell them good things about Jazz and Tracks, and they still grab for Mindset and Fallback. My store still had two Jazz and a tracks on Saturday, if they are still there today, I'm snagging them, not to hoard them, but because I cannot pass up a good deal.

    Yeah, I think Parking is what's getting me the most. I was thinking of just loading up my ORCA card, but I wouldn't want to be lugging around anything I bought on the bus or light rail. As far as entry, I pre-reg at every year's convention (first thing I'm doing today actually) so I'll be in all weekend next year for just $30 instead of the $60 door price. And the concert(s) are usually worth that by themselves.

    The vendor's get worse every year. I joked about how Kicks was the only place I bought stuff from last year (aside from the Generations books from another guy), and realized how sad that was. Both that Kicks is local, and that I don't actually think very highly of the store yet keep supporting them at the convention.

    I just wish there was more variety there. There were some awesome guys a couple years ago that gave me a deal on my Bleach swords, but I haven't seen them the past two years. Those guys with the airsoft guns haven't been there for a number of years either. The guy I bought my Henkei Megatron from in '08 (had the entire first wave, I only picked up Megatron) hasn't been there since that year.

    Someone does have a reissue God Ginrai. I think the price was $150 for it. I don't have $150 though, otherwise I'd probably think about getting it. Also a reissue Magnus for like $90, but I see those around often enough if I did want one.

    Ended up buying all my stuff yesterday from the Bandai booth: SHFiguarts Kamen Rider 1, Cyclone, and the Mickey Mouse Convoy. I might pick up a GN Archer 1/144 kit from them. The thing's cheap and I've seen a really nice Nightbird custom from it.

    My lady made me a easter basket with two kinds of jerky, some chocolate things, and a dark chocolate bar that has chunks of bacon in it. Yes, she was very happy that she could give me a easter basket with meat in it. Only thing cooler is if it was rabbit jerky. :LOL

    R!

    In my case, they were there one day, gone the next. Someone literally cleared out the section within a day. Next time, I will make sure to be more aggressive with my shopping as being casual-next day totally didn't work this time. They went from having 5 of each to zero. Wow.

    Happy Easter everyone. Hope everyone enjoys the sun/at least it's not raining day.

    Mortal Kombat is AWESOME! I haven't played it too much, but I've gotten to level 50 on the challenge tower. No story mode yet, but after dinner and some HW today, I shall work on that. It's amazing how many people came into Freddies today and were disappointed that we didn't have any baskets or plastic eggs. What suckas!!

    They waited until now to get eggs and baskets? Big oops.

    By the way... many years ago on Easter is when I got a G1 Blaster in my Easter Basket :) ... Happy Easter, everyone!

    Staying away from all these non-movie HA figures, though I would like the Humans, I am not paying $10 for the little guys. Not really anything too special on the presale. Gonna end up picking up the Black Skids, sucks that they are releasing a turd of a pegwarmer right off the bat, as well as a less desirable BB. I have a bad feeling about this line as a whole having a whole bunch of pegwarmers between character retools, the downgrade in sizes in lieu of gimmicks, HA basics that seem like the new Powercores (I know some liked them, but they didn't move without sales), and the legends with bases that seem overpriced. May just be me, but I don't think some of this garbage is gonna sell.

    Don't forget we are supposed to get a Human Alliance Soundwave, although I don't think it will be that cheap.
