    Keep checking your Meijers, if he's made it to one, he'll probably start showing up in others.

    I haven't bothered going to TJ Maxx after the last time I went in there only to be disappointed that I couldn't find any of the Reveal the Shield figures that I was looking for -- and still am.

    I'm just going to ask my brother to buy me the Reveal the Shield and Generations figures that I want off the internet for my Christmas present this year, as right now I'm trying to focus on collecting the DOTM toys as well as a couple other non-TF toy lines.

    Get with it bro.
    This is where u will find stuff retailers get rid of so they don't have to massivly clearance stuff, and a lot of stuff that don't make it to the shelves, like all the reveal the shield wave are popping up.

    Great prices...check em once a week, and if your like me, get to know the person that knows the toy dept so you know when they usually get a box of stuff in.

    So I went to Target, then Marshall's, then Kohl's, and finally Wal-Mart in Midland, to see if anyone had anything exciting. Nothing in the first three. I was waffling on random junk at WM, when I turned and saw about ninety Ultimate Prime. Not surprising, had seen them there before. What I didn't see before was two sitting above a "Optimus Prime" thing that was shelf tagged for $19.97. And both Ultimate Primes sitting above said shelf tag were marked $19.97.

    I don't think I've put down what I had in my hand faster. I grabbed one of the Ult. Primes, and went halfway to the checkout before turning back to make sure the second one said the same thing. Oh it did. So I went to the only non-self-checkout register open that didn't have ten people with 80 items in their cart, and had to wait about 20 minutes for them to check with management, but I got him. For $21.17.

    For $21, he's one of the best purchases ever. He's realistically only about a $50 toy, but damn, for $21? He's friggin' awesome. The actual OP/cab part is not a bad mold, I'd rate it higher than the 1st movie or DotM Prime, but not as good as Battle Blades / HtfD Prime. He's much, much simpler to transform though, that's for sure. And he has a nice array of sounds on his giant cannon of doom. The only thing I don't like is the trailer is fiddly (think Sentinel Prime in vehicle mode) and he has these floppy pieces on his shoulders that don't peg in anywhere (as near as I can tell anyway).

    But I'm not going to complain. He was $21. :D

    Went shopping in Jackson today. Scored the only Cyberverse Hatchet they had at Target, and I was shocked to have finally found HFTD Sidearm Sideswipe at Kohl's.

    Unfortunately, I won't be doing any more shopping for awhile... on my way home from Jackson, I noticed that the engine light came on on my Jeep, that the oil pressure was hovering around 40 and that the whole Jeep seemed to shudder each time I come to a stop or try to speed up. I'm thankful I was able to get home without my Jeep breaking down, but I got to wait until Monday to call the mechanic for an appointment, as the mechanic I take my Jeep to doesn't work on weekends. *Sigh*

    WOW! thats nice man! Maybe we should all throw you cash and have you get more.

    So awhile back we all had a conversation about who was the best engineered TF of all time, and we seemed to be deadlocked between Alternators Mirage and HA Jazz, well today I bought a HA Jazz at the AA TJMaxx....gotta say, now that I've experienced him....I think it's a dead tie.

    also that DOTM Shockwave poster that was on Craisglist the other day? Totally bought it and gave it to a buddies kids.

    That light is also for the transmission. Your oil pressure is fine. Sounds like an issue with the transmission not the engine. Check your transmission fluid, if its dark red the transmission is fried. Also look for what appears to be glitter on the dipstick, if you see that then thats actually metal shavings. I would suspect the transmission. JIC you're wondering Im a State Certified Mechanic.
