    I picked up the Universe Inferno and Ratchet at the Target in Troy. None, left there, though.. Just about 50 Unicrons waiting for X-Mas.

    Saw about 3 each of Rachet and Inferno at Walmart in Taylor. No Nemesis Prime though. Also saw all the PL figures still there and the beasts too. They have an end display over by the christmas stuff.

    The funny thing for me is that I've kinda reached the end of what I'm buying for TFs. I'll still watch for re-issues, but the remianing Armada, HoC, Energon, Universe, etc. stuff I think I'm going to pass on. The result is, I don't get to the toy store(s), so I don't post new sightings.

    I haven't been going out either... during this lull in releases I've been buying vintage TFs, some Micron and catching up on other collectibles.

    Plus FF X2 is hopefully going to be out the 18th. :D

    I hear you. I've spent lots of money on BW lately (I'm getting Ikard and the Tako tank, finally!)

    Plus my b-day AND x-mas is coming up so I had my family pre-order me a Binaltek Smokescreen!

    What *IS* a Cuttlebot? And do you have a lazy eye in your avatar?

    Ha. The lazy eye is just painted on wrong. Anyways, a Cuttlefish is like a sqiud but they can change color. So a cuttlebot would be a robotic cuttlefish.

    ha. You know that Tako is the Japanese word for Octopus, right?

    When you order a fried Tako (Takoyaki) in Japan, it won't be the mexican delight!

    Squid and/or cuttlefish in Japanese is "ika" as in "Ikado" or "way of the squid".

    Hey boys, found Universe Ratchet and Inferno at the West Saginaw Target in Lansing. Picked up one of each, they had a couple there buy I didn't get a count because I was in a hurry. Lansing fans, anyone seen Tankor/Obisidian b/c I haven't and wave 3 is already hitting the shelves.

    :mad:

    Not Lansing, but I did see Tankor and Obsidian in Taylor Target. If I can get you that Ultra Magnus, I'll swing by to see if that set is still there.

    If you could do that, that would be awesome Ambushburg. Just PM me and let me know if you find them.

    DTA, you come through for me again... thanks. I went and picked up Universe Inferno and Ratchet. The repaint for Wildride is FANTASTIC ! Best repaint ever ( IMO )..... pcitures I've seen didn't do it justic.

    I do wish they hadn't painted on the hose and ladder... but what can you do ?

    Bonus, Target also had all the new wave Star Wars figures.. except the fan choice Stormtrooper.

    Robobchanger, glad I could help you out. There are perks to being semi-unemployed like having free time to toy hunt(god part-time at Suncoast and refereeing ice hockey is not cutting it. Oh well, that's life I guess, just gotta keep sending my resume out and hope a fish bites.
