Opened up my Dirge and Roadbuster. They are awesome. the paint apps are really really good. it's interesting that dirge and roadbuster come with a comic that features springer and ratbat. wonder if it's the other way around for the other pack. overall, I'm really impressed with these figures.

I forgot to mention the Ford Road Target also had the 25th anniversary Primes, the new Movie Two packs with the repaints of voyager megs and prime, both legends 5 packs and the new animated 3 packs.

Just to let everyone know, here is a link that JTKranix showed me where you can search to find if any Targets in the area have the Universe two packs. they don't have the "find it at a Target store" button on the items, but someone found a way around that.

http://www.target.com/gp/store-info/fin ... B0017MX4HG

Looks like all the Targets in the Ann Arbor/Canton area have them except for Ann Arbor/Saline Road Target. Canton Target on Ford Road doesn't seem to like Chad and I. It's the second time they wouldn't go in the back to get something for us. The Westland Target did.

That's because the Canton Target is run by a bunch of spoiled, pretentious, MTV-watching tweenies and suburban housfraus, who seem to resent that they have to work for a living.

Yes, I said it, and it's true. It's the same reason that they treat me like a shoplifter everytime I go in there. Their precious, little baby eyes can't handle looking at people who use their hands to earn a living. Dirt actually scares them.

Oh, did that sound judgemental? Tough.

Anyway, I should have went to Target yesterday. :-P

::EDIT:: The Allen Park Target was just putting up their endcap when I arrived. They put out everything, the Animated Exclusives, 25th Prime, etc. I scored one of each Comic set, and one of each Legends 5-packs. They had One each of the Comic packs left, and at least 2 each of everything else. This was all about 1/2 hr ago.

The employee, Barb, was very nice to me, and even talked to and tolerated me hovering over her while she opened everything.

I stopped at Livonia WalMart earllier today and they had the Wave 4 Activators, the Wave 2 Universe Robot Heroes and the Animated Legends. I also found Riddler and Black Lightning from DC Universe Classics Wave 5. I'm going to have to ask everyone to keep a look out for these for me as I think this is a WalMart exclusive wave.

I forgot to mention this here last night, but I found TFA legends boxed in the same package as the Universe Legends at the Belleville Walmart. Did they get really lazy on packaging or what?

I bought Prowl. Just took this pic with my phone.

And I took this one in the store yesterday of the lil Bee.

And just because I'm posting pics of TF's...

He totally stole my dorito...

I sold him because I was unable to satisfy his snack food needs. He didn't agree with me when I said Transformers don't need food...I'm such a fool sometimes.

I'm so happy with the Target comic sets, they are some of the best repaints of the best figures ever. :grin:

He is quite a high maintenance 'con. I don't think the 'bots approve, hehe. Neither do I when snacks "mysteriously" go missing.... :-?

I'll be heading out to Westland tomorrow for some shoppin'. Whoo!

Hey Everyone,

For those of you who remember Kevin of Mirages Boxes, he has just opened up a new site called bubbleformer. He makes the bubble inserts for G-1 boxes. He has a limited inventory right now but is expanding it daily.

He is one of my best friends so help support his newest project

I stayed at his place in Iowa for a week in September and witnessed the early stages of this project and all I can say is SWEET!! I have a ton of empty G-1 boxes in need on some bubble loving. TT and Andrew, I really see you guys being interested in this

His website is:

http://www.bubbleformer.com/

Check it out!

TT, if you would like to newsify this, Kevin would probably appreciate it (though he didn't ask).

Thanks everyone!

Chad

I picked up the Target Animated 3-packs at 8 Mile & Haggerty last night. One of the Ratchet packs had a Starscream figure with a missing arm. They had all the current exclusives out on a back end cap except for the comic 2-packs.

I ventured all the way out to Belleville to hang out with a friend so I stopped at WalMart to check for DCUC Wave 5. No luck on that front but I did find the super rare torn up packaging Movie Evac that was broken into four pieces so I bought it and buried it in the back yard so I can dig it up and sell it in 20 years when it'll be worth $27,884.92. It's just a hunch but I think it's a pretty good one.

Got the Wave 2 G1 Robot Heroes today, at the Michigan Ave Target, as well as doubles of the Comic sets. Other than the Robot Heroes, they have plenty of everything left.

They had a few of the Target Exclusive MLs left, including the Wolverine and Spiral variants, and Union Jack. There wasn't a complete set, just most of them. Also there were plenty of Hulk MLs, minus Savage She Hulk.

I saw the GI Joe Battle Pack finally at the Canton Target, there were 2 of them. They are really nice, but I'm holding strong and managed to leave without one.

I guess the Combiners have been spotted as well, but I didn't see them out yet.

I managed to spend about $200 on the exclusives on Friday.

Comic Two-packs
aerial rivals
special teams leaders
Gi Joe thing
Both Animated 3 packs

I really do not enjoy shopping at this time of the year. Too many people.

Chad, I'll look to see if someone snuck in and found it, and if they didn't I'll newsify Kevin's item.

Spotted in the US? Singapore has them and 25th WAVE 1. Which means we should see them soon.

My mistake, I confused the Legends Team Leader set for Superion(there's an article on TFormers)...it's amazing how blind desire can make me.

Target officially now gets the best Exclusives. Even the Legends rock.

I was wondering if anyone in the Oakland or Livingston county areas might be able to help me out.
I gots me a busted first run leader class movie Megatron (not premium)that I need to do a swaparoony on, but I can't find any of them around town.
Has anyone seen one of these at their local stores recently?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I just got a notice that my MP Thundercracker is in at BBTS! I think I will wait to ship it for a while though.

by **Rijie** » Wed Nov 26, 2008 2:54 pm

Just stopped at the Canton Target, they had the full Exclusive endcap available, Comic packs and all.

Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
