    I may have to pre-order Tigatron. Even if it's my only MP Beast figure, he looks worth it.

    I've only been seeing grapple in stores. Actually looking forward to the ramp guys to get explosion bits and extend the ramps of my city bots. Hopefully there's a way to attach them to Metroplex's chest ramp.

    I really had to hold back on Siege and most of the online exclusives. Money was tight last couple of years. Hopefully back tracking won't cost an arm and a leg.

    I know it’s kind a last minute notice, but tomorrow there’s a toy show at Lobo, and I’ll be set up for the day. I should be there from 11 to 5 at least. If anyone finds EarthRise deluxes or a Starscream I will trade heavily in your favor.

    Weekend report, for Earthrise:

    Target Coors: Nothing
    Target Paseo: Micromasters, they may still have some.
    Target Lomas: 2 Grapple on Sunday, also say Cyberverse RamJet? (the black and white one).. kinda neat, too heavy on the gimmick for me.
    Target Montgomery: Nada
    WalMart Cottonwood: depressing.

    That is all.

    Coors had deluxe’s at some point last week. I didn’t get any though. Was hoping to find something after the show at Lobo but oh well.

    I hit uptown and Montgomery today, nothing fun. Not even space for fun. Still have my preorders at Pulse luckily.

    I went to most of those places yesterday. I did see studio Hotrod everywhere and the occasional Soundwave and Bumblebee and bike girls.

    Anyone want to buy my Astro train? Transformed him into all the modes 1 time. 50.00 cash or PayPal.

    Just took one for the team today, and bought a Siege Shockwave. I mean I wanted it, and had not got it yet, I just did not really wanna pay full price for it.

    I kinda feel like I should have got a sticker from someone on my way out of the store, for my contribution to society.....

    Yeah, it was Coors Target they only had 1 Magnus besides the Corps of Shockwave there. I got UM when he first came out, cuz I thought I would never see it again, and did not for quite a while. I picked up Impactor to go with Shockwave, and saved a little, but I think I am going to always think that Shockwave should have been a voyager though. Didn't have Impactor either, so, yeah.

    Supiid HaZBLo....kept the numbers the same, so the retailers won't ever put Siege on clearance.

    Any fresh Earthrise in the ABQ lately?

    I'm still looking for Optimus, Hoist and Starscream. The little amount of hunting I did over the weekend, just showed me a bunch of Siege not selling.

    I grabbed a Hoist from Coors Saturday night, but there was nothing else there. I just got charged on Pulse for Grapple, Starscream, Cliffjumper, Ironworks and Wheeljack though, so I'll have them sometime in the next week or so... in 5 different boxes because Pulse is DUMB.

    Coors Target right? That's kinda strange, I was there Saturday morning, did not see it. Good find though, hope I can catch the next one.

    I bought this Cyberverse guy. I'm really impressed; wish he was as big as those massive Grimlocks. I expected him to feel like hollow garbage because the low price, but he feels like an actual toy. I'll probably get more now. I think it just demonstrates how the prices aren't based on anything, just how much Hastak can charge before sales drop off.

    That's Hammerbyte right?.. yeah. I think some of the cyberverse is pretty neat too. I really like the Bludgeon one, and the Prowl one too. Every time I see the turbo changers-sized Sharkticons I just wanna scoop 'em up and take them with me. I think you are right about their marketing strategy too.

    Personally though I really gotta limit myself to one line due to budget and space. Eventually I WILL get around to culling my collection down. Seriously got like 6 or 700 hundred I need to sell off.

    He was 12.00 at Walmart. I guess 15.00 is the regular price, which is a little iffy. The BAF figs are 20.00 which is nonsense.

    Anyway, just saw a leader SS shockwave at uptown Target and they reshelved my Astro train.
