    Anyone seen Jetfire, Arctic Camo Ruination, or the wave 3 Mini-Cons around Detroit?

    The Wal-Mart in Troy as well as Taylor has Blurr and Bendy Prime.

    I went to Walgreens at Woodward and 13 and found a RID X-Brawn (repaint), Wedge (bent card), and Mega-Octane as well as a couple Heroes of Cybertron and TWO Constructicon Knock Offs!.

    Your best bet would prob be to check Walmart on Telegraph in Taylor.

    If not there there is also a Walmart on Ford in Canton and one on Middlebelt in Livonia.

    But the one in Taylor usually has them first.I'll let you know after i check later today.

    (P.S. If you ever need someone to go TF huntin with drop me a [email protected])

    Thanks! My girlfriend lives down there (near Taylor), so its easy to check that one. Let me know, though if you spot one, and I'll do the same.

    I picked up the Heroes of Cybertron Starscream, Optimus (w/gun), Megatron (w/hand), and Skywarp at the Meijers in Ann Arbor last night. They still have a couple of each left as well as Magnus and Arcee.

    WHOA! Other Michiganders!

    I've had good luck with Jetfire at the TRU in Dearborn Heights on Michigan Ave. west of Telegraph.

    And the TRU in Southfield at Telegraph and the mixing bowl (I-696/M-10/Telegraph/11 Mile) had 13 Jetfires a while back.

    As for the others, I haven't been looking. Sorry.

    Good luck!

    I see Jetfire all the time at Meijer in Taylor and others I have been to, also Targets get them alot. Found a HOC Grimlock the other day at Walgreens in Taylor. Only one there that I saw of the new group, plus they had an Arcee and a Clear orange PMOP HOC. A little off topic, but you guys know hwere to get good KO Transformers? I found a "Form Changer" Truck at Walgreens the other night, good toy even has die-cast metal parts.

    Yeah, I found Grimlock and 2 Ironhides at Walgreens in Oak Park. This was a few weeks ago and I haven't seen any more HOC wave 3 ANYWHERE!

    If any of you find Cyclonus, Rodimus, Galvatron, or Soundwave let me know! I've got that extra Ironhide to trade!

    Since there only seem to be the 4 of us around, we should all find a way to get together to search or share our out of the way places to get TF items.

    I'm all down with sharing. I haven't bought any new TF since the Destructicons. I still haven't seen the Armada Beasts or the CS wave IV. Tell me what you guys are looking for, though and I'll let you know if I spot it.

    All I'm really looking for right now is the new G1 re-issues. (Prowl, Red Alert, etc.)

    Ah.. A bit far for me (I'm in Troy). But my girlfriend lives in Dearborn so I'm down that way often.

    I'm going to check around here soon. I'll let you know what I find.

    If you're looking for G1 re-issues of Prowl and Skywarp, the TRU at Telegraph & 11 Mile (Mixing Bowl) has 5 Skywarps and 7 Prowls as of 4:30p on Jun 19. I got mine, so have at it.

    I got myself a Skywarp last night!! There were 4 left at the Southfield TRU. They also had a bunch of Prowls, but no Red Alert. (Thanks, Skyfire!)

    They also still have all of CS III and are overstocked on wave III and earlier Armada.

    Next I'm looking for the Armada Beasts, and the new Emergency and Air Military Mini-cons. Let me know what you guys find!!

    I found the Armada Rhinox and Terrosaur at Meijer's in Brighton, MI. I got the only two on the shelf, though, but maybe they have more in the back.

    Let me know if you guys find the new mini-con sets. (emergency, air attack)
