    They say anything about a mass release of the film at all? Theater or video? I need to see this film.

    Nope ikado, wasn't showing the tf love that night. Were my friends and I the only three that thought all the questions asked by the audience sucked? Except the one about the "old-people wrangler" that was funny. As for a mass release, Bruce said they were going to do a city-to-city kind of thing so I'm guessing no mass release, but I'll go see the movie a hundred times if it gets them enough money to release it on DVD.

    Oh yeah, Jihaxus and Megabolt at the Meridian Mall Kay-bee in Okemos.

    FOUND! Powermaster Prime - $20.00!!!

    Was at the Ann Arbor/UofM anime showing on Saturday and checked out the local anime store - Wizzywig. They had the japanese release God Ginrai for $20.00 on markdown. I don't know if their website is showing the same price, but if you want the figure (same as TRU release, but japanese box) you can't go wrong at that price.

    Huh. I was at the Novi comic show this weekend and they ALSO had the God Ginrai for $20. That's so crazy since I amost paid $54 for it at their store this Summer. (I ended up with a $35 one from HLJ)

    They also had Takara Inferno for $29.

    Oh, well. The house needed to be washed and retaining wall finished.

    Okay, guess what? I found 5 Powerlinx Jetfires at the Toys 'R' Us at the Mixing Bowl (Telegraph, M-10, I-696, 11 Mile) in Southfield. Dunno if you're still looking for him, but he's there. I was gonna get one, but I've decided my Armada Jetfire is fine. I might pick him up eventually so I can have an "Evil Jetfire."

    They also had four G1 Infernos and six G1 Tracks.

    On the way home last night (actually this morning at 4am), stopped into a Rite Aid 4 minutes from my house for a Gatorade, and of course I had to swing by the toy section just cause I always do. To my surprise I find 2 figures from HOC series 4 sitting right there. Found Perceptor and Espionage Team set. The point of this story is, is that I have been traveling all around looking for these things and had just completed series 3 this weekend, and here series 4 sits just 4 minutes from my house!! So go out and check your Rite-Aid's!!! Plus I think I might be able to find Hawkgirl there! Ok, that's my rant, go back to your lives.

    What?! Rite-Aid has them now? I thought they were exclusive to Wal-Greens and Meijers!!

    Great news! Except, that I got all mine from BBTS months ago.

    Here's looking to wave 5!

    Alrighty.. time to start helping each other out again. Has anyone seen the Powerlinx Hot shot with the fixed (two color) autobot logo yet? I'm looking for him and Nemesis Prime.

    What are you guys looking for? I'll keep my eye out.

    Yo ikado, I actually have an extra PL Hotshot with the fixed symbol that MISB. Yep I'm looking for Nem Prime too. You can take him(PL Hotshot) off my hands for $9.00 plus shipping. PM me if you want him.
    If you could, keep a look out for Star Wars Clone Trooper 3 packs. I mentioned them earlier in this thread. There are four variations with a different colored clone trooper(blue, yellow, red, green). I figure stores near Detroit will have better stuff than Lansing so you might spot one if I don't.

    Yea, I've been keeping an eye out for those troop builders...but no luck. All I've seen is the Clone Trooper with speeder bike and Dirge with bike.

    Good news: I found Nemesis Prime, Powerlinx Hot Shot w/ good symbol, PL Demolisher, PL Thrust, PL Cyclonus, and Armada Cheetor all at the Troy Wal Mart on Maple Rd.

    Bad news: Me and a friend took the only two NPrimes and PLHotshots..

    But they're in our area.. happy hunting!

    It still could be a running change.. Expect it with the new colored Wheeljack in the final wave of Armada.

    Thanks for the heads up DTA... I went and picked up Nem-Prime and PL Demolisher just alittle while ago.

    I just love buying new TFs just before the premiere of a new episode of Armada. :)

    I must be the only one not seeing Nemesis Prime out there abouts. I've seen all the Powerlinks figures though. Thanks to 2 seperate Rite-Aid's, I finally have a complete set of HOC Series 4!!! Yay!! Also, again another hunt and no Hawkgirl!!! If anyone sees her please let me know.
