Vaporware posted:I suggested that we take it to BSS a couple threads ago, but again I've tried to talk about noncomic things in BSS and only had peripheral interest. I'm not averse to taking it there, but compared to the post volume of BSS we'd be with the webcomics and achewood threads as one of the "above the fold" high volume threads in there. Exactly. Some people genuinely want help getting stuff for friends/family, selling old stuff, or just trying to figure out how the hell Blackout's legs work. And this thread is just batshit insane enough to not fit in any of the existing subforums.

Partial VICTORY!  Still no 08 Bumblebee, but I did finally find an Arcee. Decided to pick up Speed Dial and Spy Shot to go along with her. And with that, I now feel content enough to wait for Hasbro/TRU to finally start listing the little yellow bastard online.

Well, she's a bit of a pain to stand up properly (loving high heels), but otherwise she's great. The Eighties Hair actually works up close, the rear wheel "shawl" gets in the way a lot less than I thought it would, and she's surprisingly slender for a Deluxe-class bot. And hey, every TF collection needs more motorcycles

DarkPrime posted:Where'd you find them? The Pinhook Wal-Mart. She was the last Deluxe there besides a single Wreckage. Lafayette area in brief: Opelousas: Pegwarmers only. Hope you like Swindle and Bonecrusher. Evangeline: Oddly enough, FULLY STOCKED... with Wave One. First time I've seen an Ironhide and a Starscream in the same place in more than a month. Ambassador: Wiped clean. No Robot Heroes, no Real Gear, nothing but a couple Prime Blasters TRU: Currently poo poo due to the TF stuff being moved out of the front in favor of back to school stuff. But it is the first place I've seen an Unleashed Prime in the wild. Target: See Ambassador.

Well, going on my last 08 Bee hunt in the morning. Probably just going to hit 2 of the 4 local Wal-Marts (what with Northside being FULL of Wave 1 and not in need of a restock, and Pinhook claimed by DarkPrime), and the Toys R Us. As for Target... here's hoping SpikeMcclane's tip was right.

Well, I guess I'm alone in thinking it's weird that they're making the main character from the movie the short packed figure in Wave 2. Maybe ramping up production on him and not shipping enough swindles to choke Unicron might make things a little better. But that's just me.

We had several cases on Friday; I'm surprised they're completely gone again (except for protoform starscream. We _still_ have him). Thankfully, the only store left around here with NOTHING BUT STARSCREAMS is the Toys R Us, while the target has... still absolutely nothing. So yeah, pick me up a spare 09 Bee if you spot one
