    Has anyone found CW Ultra Magnus in stores? I have yet to see him and I'm kinda tempted to order him from Amazon.

    I got mine in June from Amazon too (it was a Father's day present). Still, I haven't seen him in the wild yet. As a matter of fact, besides the sea of Silverbolts, I've only seen a couple of Motormasters in the wild. However, I have a feeling that with Target flipping their stores now, they will start popping up soon..... Hopefully, haha.

    Alright just a reminder that I will be having my rummage tomorrow at 2PM until 4PM. My location is 3706 w. Orchard st. (one block south of 37th and Greenfield) be sure to stop by and say hi! I'd love to meet you guys, even if you're not interested in anything I'm selling.

    Nothing exciting at the Appleton TRU. They're still sitting on a couple MP Bluestreaks, but still no Devastators, which sucks because I actually have new coupons right now.

    Both of the Targets in Appleton did semi-resets, and you can tell the space they are saving for the new Star Wars toys. All the old Star Wars stuff is on clearance now.

    I picked up some of the Transformers Hero Mashers(Prime, Megatron, Soundwave, and Slug) on clearance at Target. They were marked down to $4.97 and after the coupons I had I got all four of them for $10.00 total.

    The Target at the Fox River Mall had some of the Marvel Legends Rhino wave. I'd really like to get the Rhino BAF, but aside from Ghost Rider this wave doesn't interest me at all.

    I like how the price for SDCC Devy is almost the same price TRU wants for the regular one, so greedy haha!

    Haven't seen anything new in weeks and then I finally see something and it's the stupid deployers drift in the purple guy at the target on Kossow Road in Waukesha

    Well my rummage was a bust. Oh well, I guess I'll try for the farmers market in West Allis next weekend.

    Yeah, those Deployers are extremely stupid. If it wasn't for some of the Combiner Wars figures, we'd be in a real drought right now as far as Transformers goes. Of course this CW wave 4 with Mirage and Ironhide looks pretty crappy also.
    Unfortunately, Sundays are not good days for having rummage sales. If you would've been closer to me I would've stopped by.

    I scored some pretty good stuff at a couple rummage sales yesterday. At one sale I picked up a new/sealed Kre-O Optimus Prime(the big set with the trailer) for only $5.00, and I also got a new/sealed Kre-O Starscream for only $3.00. Then at another sale I picked up an original vintage 1981 Star Wars Slave 1 that is 100% complete for only $10.00. I was surprised to find that it even had the Han Solo in carbonite inside.

    I originally had it for yesterday, but I had a family picnic that I forgot about. I'll try again Saturday, if nothing happens then, I'll just post it up on EBay.

    I was planning on coming by, but something came up with the kids. I'm really familiar with the area though… it's like 5 blocks from my parent's house, haha.

    ANyway on another note, I have to admit, I really like the deployers, haha. I didn't think I would, and I do wish they had a little more posability, but I bought a couple of the $5 ones, and turned out liking them quite a bit. I am a sucker for the small/odd figures though. This was my first RID purchase BTW. I'm not a fan of the series in general.

    Konra you sly dog you.. just when I was meeting a TF fan in the wild your UP'ing and MOving.. haha, CONGRATz!!

    let me guess you work in IT huh? Right now thats the hot topic it seems.. aka a plethora of IT jobs all over right now. Had a similar offer but for Chicago.. but after factoring the move, and COST of living, AND traffic, not to mention public schools for the lil ones.. it was a no brainer to say no..


    still tho, happy for you! All the best!

    Yup, I'm about ready to give up on those ass-clowns at TRU and order one from somewhere else.
