    Ah, ok, sorry. Normally that one is referred to as the Florissant TRU. I'm with you now.

    I refer to it as the West Florissant TRU, after the street that it's on. Technically, it's east of Florissant (and within the boundaries of Ferguson, according to Google Maps).

    Ok, fine, I should have said "that is generally referred to *by me* as the Florissant TRU." Better? :p

    The Columbia TRU got the Bot shots 3 packs and both launchers. They also got the commanders and still have multiple of each as of 6 pm. Nothing else new to note in Columbia.

    It's a combination of things for me.
    I love the character to begin with and am pretty pleased with how show accurate the toys is. They've done quite well with a lot of the prime characters so far but Ratchet is one of the better ones.
    As for the toy in general the transformation is unique and interesting but not too complex and fiddly. In robot mode everything snaps into place and stays there, which is very nice and he has no kibble to speak of. His backpack is a bit thicker than in the show but it fits him well.

    I also love his hand blades. They are a nice rubbery material and fit well in his hands. The cool part is that you can put them in his hands then fold his hands back into his arm and it looms as if the daggers have replaced his hands like in the show.

    So way better than Cliffjumper or Bumblebee(revealer or FE) and right up there with Wheeljack.

    Hey folks! It's that time of year again: Cape Comic Con is being held April 20-22, 2012 at the Osage Center in Cape Girardeau, MO. This is the 7th year of the convention and it looks to be bigger and better than ever!

    Once again I'll be set up selling Transformers at great prices!

    For full event details, go to Cape Comic Con 2012

    To anyone interested in what I have, I can compile a list.

    Good luck with the sale Codimus! I would imagine your collection has thinned down quite a bit since I saw you at the Toyman show quite a while back!

    Has anyone seen the coupons at TRU that have been mentioned in the sale thread? I don't want to waste a trip into SOCO unless I'm fairly sure they have them.

    This is the final nail in the coffin of my collection. NEARLY EVERYTHING will be there save a few momentos.

    Picked up a deluxe RID Arcee and Ratchet from the Woodriver, IL Walmart tonight, still 1 Ratchet left. No cyberverse commanders in sight though. I know its not a MO sighting but not too far for people over in St.Louis.
