Thanks! I'm going to need my skills next weekend for the World's Pinball Tournament to try and win that grand prize of $10,000! Yesterday was my B-day  and also my cousin had her baby girl. So now I know 3 people that share my day including President Obama. Picked up the clear window BB's at the HIP Target along with another HA Sideswipe for my friend. They have Mudflap's there too with the correct license plate. Sorry for not letting you guys know about all that great stuff at Walmart on Touhy that hit there Monday. They had lots of Arcee's when I looked and some Stalker Scorponok's. Also picked up Legends Skids and Sideways at TRU on Western, they still even had leader Jetfire's. We did a little pre-party Monday night and got superwasted and never got a chance to post. Between work and relatives coming in, I haven't even had a chance to see all the new stuff that was shown at the Con. Long Haul, I got the tag and I sent yours out the other day.

 

Happy birthday, boostie!!

 

Happy B-lated Birthday Jason! Sorry I didn't return your call, I got side tracked, and when I realized it, it was as I type this message! Ford City Walmart had a ton of Arcee, Scorponok, and Swerves. The Target was sold out of Bruticus.

 

Thanks guys! Is that the first sighting of Bruticus? Also BBTS finally got in Autoscout cassette yesterday for my b-day, time to ship my pile of loot that has been sitting there since Spring time! 

 

happy birthday jason

 

I saw him last Monday before I left for Canada. It was still there when I got back Sunday. I have 1 stashed, but that's for me. I did not even check to see if it was still there. But he got spotted originally about 2-3 weeks ago when about 4 waves popped up in that one weekend.

 

Hey, awesome! Yeah, should have known they didn't have a clue. It was at that same Walmart a few weeks ago when I heard one of the employees was looking for Soundwave, and I handed him the one that was sitting right in front of him. Sheesh...  

 

My girlfriend insists on getting Ice Cream truck and I finally get him! So cute!

Anyone has got the Supreme Devastator? The fact that it doesn't transform into seperate robots kinda disappoints me.

 

I've got the Supreme Devastator and I love it! it is way better in person.

 

cool. good luck on the tourny, and happy bl8ted bday

 

I have one, gonna buy another. Dont know what it is about him but I like him

 

One of my friends told me it's better for oneself to see the Dev in person cuz by then you can really see how "supreme" he is, which the pictures can't tell. So I think I'm gonna wait to see it first.

 

Gonzo, all i needed done is to bring out more detail on it and to make the vehicle parts look weathered and sandy.

 

I would probably recommend getting a Blazemaster, that rotor comes right off, and its white so you could paint it any color.

 

Walmart in Streamwood has a few things. First of all, one each of Nightbeat and Ejector left (I grabbed one of each). Also, ROTF Ramjet and Skywarp are 17.50 there, marked down from 22.00. Don't know if the prices are going to keep going down. There were 2 Skywarps left, and about 5 Ramjets. Happy hunting!

 

Might want to ask in the customized section. I am not really sure what you are asking but seems like you are going to cut off a really big part. I suggest you unscrew stuff and try to isolate the area where you want to make the cut instead just taking hacking away. And depending on tools and methods, it could be hard or harder. I know of one way to cut plastic easy but kind of risky.

Get a exacto knife, heat it up, and make the cut. The bad thing is that the plastic have black smoldering at where you made the cut but you can shave those off. Also, the safety thing you have to worry about.

Or you can try a hobby kit store. I think they sell small rotors blades for model planes so you can use those without no cutting. Try hobbytownUSA. I think they can help you out there and they have model kit paint so that might be good browsing there. As for painting, from what I heard, you can gloss it. I heard it protects the paint from scratches but even then, nothings really immune to scratches, especially if you fiddle it like me. Also, I think there's a guide to painting and customizing in the radicon section.

Read up before any attempts.

Wack some balls and win big man. Good luck.   Happy birthday too.  

 

Finally was able to pick up Jetfire at Walmart on T. Garbed the last one. thanks again Gonzo and Haunted One. 

 

I saw Devastator and guess what? I still think it looks like a fat squat potato. Piece of shit.

 

Went to a few stores today. Nothing much Transformers related

Wal-mart on Rt. 53 and Butterfield had a few Arcee wave
TRU on Butterfield Rd had nothing
Target by the Yorktown mall had nothing
Target on Hobson in Woodridge had nothing
TRU on 75th St in Woodridge had nothing
Wal-mart on 75th St in Darrien had nothing
Wal-mart on Rt. 53 in Bollingbrook had nothing
Wal-mart on Rt. 59 and 127th St in Plainfield had a lot of Arcee wave and 2 Ejectors
Target on Rt. 59 and 127th had nothing
Target on Rt. 59 in Naperville has one Jolt
TRU by the Fox Valley mall had nothing
Wal-mart on Rt. 59 in Naperville had nothing

By nothing I mean no new Voyagers, Deluxes, or HASS. Some had Devastator, but that's about it.

I was able to find all but one of the Marvel Legends Nemesis wave figures though, and a variant Dr. Fate from the DC Universe line so all's good. If anyone sees a Marvel Legends Black Bolt, I would appreciate it if you can stash it for me or pick it up for me. My phone number is 630-335-9697
