  1. the walmart in norristown has 4 legends devastators & a human alliance barricade.

     

    the walmart in willow grove has 2 legends devastators. Oh, and there were also a couple Leader class Starscreams. .. oh wait.. that happened in my dreams, not reality. my bad.

     

    targets in montgomeryville & plymouth meeting have mindwipe.

  2. this isn't tf related.. but.

     

    i finally opened the movie version of war machine.. and man this figure is INCREDIBLE. excellent detail, excellent paint. he just seriously look beautiful. the movie comic version doesn't even hold a candle to the straight up movie version.

     

    today i picked up the iron man mark 4 figure. haven't opened it yet, but he still looks pretty cool. i know his weapon is going to suck.. but that doesn't bother me.

     

    i plan on picking up two more figures from this line. the iron monger, who also look great, and whiplash. i may pick up another.. but from what i've seen so far, those are the only other two i'll be picking up.

  3. the willow grove walmart now has a place for the legends devastator. .. but no devastator still.

     

    but they have a bunch of iron man 2 figures. i picked up the movie version war machine.. these figures are seriously awesome.

  4. Dude nice hand!!!

     

    yeah, every night before i go to sleep, i have a drink or two, play some guitar, eat, then sleep.

     

    so i was cleaning my favorite glass ( my Philadelphia Flyers 1974 1975 stanley cup champions glass) and i had the sponge in the bottom of the glass, i was spinning it, then a giant triangular piece of glass broke off and my hand pushed into the glass. so i got a ton of paper towels and wrapped it with an ace bandage. i called my mom to ask her to let me know if i was going to need stitches (this was 3 or 3:30 in the morning. so i went to my moms house, figuring she'd go with me to the hospital. but when i got there she was barely awake and her eyes were half closed lol. so i had to drive myself.. there was so much blood that it was still seeping through all of the paper towels and the ace bandage. oh.. and i have a tattoo on that forearm with a bloodied evil looking doctor holding a bloody scalpel. so i had to deal with every nurse and doctor in the hospital tell me how funny it was.

     

    great experience lol.

  5. i found the exclusives today too.

     

    4 arcees & 4 ratchets. i only picked up arcee for now, but i'll definitely be getting ratchet at some point.

    i found them at the toys r us on off of the easton road 309 south exist.

     

    i don't know the address or the area. but if you take 309 south, get off at the easton road exit (the ramp is on the left) then you take a right off the ramp and there is a shopping center on the left with a toys r us & a walmart. i forgot to check the walmart for devastator. but.. yeah they have the exclusives.

     

    they also have a TON of the new scouts.

     

    no new deluxes.

     

    they had a leader shadow megatron.

     

    they also have series one and two of the new iron man 2 figures. there was only one war machine.. so i had to pick it up. i'll probably go back and pick up iron monger.. but man these figures look incredible. especially the paint. one that stands out in my mind is the comic series mark I, it really looks great in person. I have the 6" mark III and iron monger from the previous movie.. but these figures look MUCH better, & i definitely like the 3.75" size rather than the 6".

  6. i love the winter olympics, the US is kicking some major ass.

     

    especially in skiing, they used to always suck at skiing events, now they're winning.

     

    curling is awesome, and the commentators do a really great job at explaining it. it's a lot more interesting now that i know what's going on. and it amazes me how much canadians love curling. I love the US, but (sports-wise) i think i'm a canadian at heart.

     

    today the womens hockey team got their asses whooped. 2-0 to canada.. sure that doesn't sound big, but they were terribly out-played. then again, it's difficult for me to watch womens ice hockey, they look like squirts or bantams (that's like 10-13 year olds) i really can't wait for the mens US team to play on friday, then hopefully whoop canada in the gold medal game.

     

     

    i feel like i'm always in willow grove, every few days i have to go to the cvs pharmacy on moreland to buy a couple pills. so i always hit that walmart and that target. for a while that target was a major bust, but they're the first place in the area to fully stock the new deluxes. for some reason i like the older toys r us better, when i started going there it seemed like they always had newer stuff stocked sooner. i hope they stock the animated deluxes soon. i'm also really on the look out for skystalker. mindwipes alt mode is incredibly and i can't wait to have those two together.

     

    although.. with my hand being like this..

     

    DSCF3172.jpg

     

    transformations are a little more tedious. lol.

  7. i absolutely LOVE lockdown.

     

    initially i wasn't going to pick him up. he wasn't in either movies, and he's a deluxe car which are quickly becoming scarce in my movie display due to the greatness of the human alliance figures.

     

    anyways. his alt mode looks incredible. it looks mean, nasty.. everything that the decepticons stand for. but the robot mode is the true gem. i love his leg articulation, and the "mech-alive" pieces. i'm so glad that the bottom of his feet have the ability to stay flush to the surface he's standing on.

    at first the asymmetry of the arms bugged me. but now that i have him in person, i love them. his left hand looks great, and the giant hook rules, especially with that piston in his arm.

    the chest is awesome with the spikes and the decepticon symbol.

    and lastly his head. is head is PERFECT. i look at his face and can immediately imagine what his voice and personality would be like. i imagine a more gurgled movie soundwave type voice. the articulation in his head is probably the coolest i've ever seen. it reminds me of a cockroach. the whole neck swivels, then the next part is on a ball joint so it can spin and look up & down, then his actual head piece is on a ball joint and can move up, move down, look up & down, & rotate 360 degrees.. you literally cannot get any better than that.

    this figure is WAY better than the animated version. he's definitely my favorite deluxe figure of the line. it's a shame he wasn't in the movie.

     

    ugh.. and i bought ratchet. i got him for $5.. he's barely even worth it.

     

    there is practically no painted details. . the hip kibble really kills it for me. his limbs are all pretty nice, and his chest is decent. but he just looks very blah to me. his gun doesn't lock onto his arm (on mine) which isn't a big deal, i just cut that piece of and gave the gun to lockdown.

    get him if you want him. i'll probably end up getting deluxe ironhide to partner up with him. but he really isn't anything special. he's just another one of those figures that excites you cause it's something new on the shelf, but in a few weeks or a month, he'll end up being just another deluxe wheelie.

  8. sorry to disappoint, but i wasn't able to get to TRU today.

     

    however, i did go to the target in plymouth meeting.

     

    i've been watching a ton of the olympics lately, especially hockey (i am a HUGE hockey fan, if no one's noticed by now) but anyways, they keep showing mcdonalds commercials for their nuggets and their new sweet chili sauce. so i remembered for christmas i got a bunch of mcdonalds gift cards, so i figured i'd grab one. well, i left them in a tin can, & when i went to look for them i came across two $20 target gift cards that i haven't used yet. so.. i went to the target in plymouth meeting...

     

    they had one human alliance barricade (whom i already have), a bunch of the new deluxes, a few defender primes, and one voyager mindwipe. so i picked up the mindwipe. must've been my lucky day.

     

    but yeah, i'll definitely try to pick up arcee and ratchet if i find them. But if i see them at one of the TRU's that you can go to, i'll just hide them for you so you won't have to pay shipping.

  9. like many other people, i came across one of the hasbrotoyshop.com exclusives @ marshalls in montgomeryville.

     

    they had three drag strips (which is the only one out of the 4 that i wanted) so i picked it up. $9.99 plus tax.

  10. sunday i found the new wave of deluxe figures @ the walmart in willow grove, & there were 3 recon ironhides.

     

    monday i found an entire endcap of the new deluxes and an endcap with about 3 or 4 bludgeons and ironhides each @ the walmart on trooper road in eagleville.

     

    hopefully human alliance barricade will start showing up soon. i can't wait to get that figure.

     

    out of the new deluxes i only bought (& will only buy) dirge. his robot mode isn't all that great, it's cool, but not great. his alt mode however is absolutely fantastic & a lot better than i thought it'd be. him and thrust really look great together (especially in their alt modes). & his transformation is a lot of fun.

  11. Just in time for Christmas...

     

    Tracy Walmart - Multiple MP Skywarps, 2x Recon Ironhide, 1xBludgeon, plenty of NEST Deluxes (Dirge, Armorhide, Alliance Bumblebee and Tuner Mudflap)

     

    lucky bastard. lol.

     

    i think it's about time i move to california.

  12. came across two legends class wheelies @ Giant in warminster.

     

    i haven't opened it, but, it looks just as great as the photos that we've seen of it do.

     

    (i hadn't looked too closely at the figure in pictures, but the hands look great in person.

  13. Masterpiece Skywarp (US Ver) :yay

     

    I might have thousands of figures in my house but this is my 1st Masterpiece :con

     

    Oh and YES he's worth the $$$ I can honestly say that even before I've had him in jet mode :eek He's just that badass as a robot !!! Everything from how well it's made to the sa-weet colors make this a Decepticon to own.

     

    My only complaints are small. Can't get him to stay on the stand on the clear piece, and those damn clear rubberbands are everywhere !!! THAT and I can't decide which mode to dislay him in :roll

     

    Life's hard...

     

    And Decepticons RULE :lol

     

    you need to get thundercracker and starscream.. they all REALLY look great together in both modes.

  14. ROTF: Human Alliance Skids.

     

    PROS:

     

    Outstanding car mode. 9 / 10

    Very detailed and well painted.

    Sweet forearm mounted cannon in bot mode.

    Great amount of posability and articulation. Double jointed knees FTW.

    There is a waist, but very limited by back kibble...

    Nice use of a "hook and cover" back kibble, too.

     

    Hasbo: Thanks for matching his green plastic, this time.

    Yea, it's one shade of green and that's how I like it...

     

     

    CONS:

     

    Decent robot mode. 7 / 10 (extra points for the insane amount of little details)

    Arms are a little long with giant "palms up" hands. WTF?

    I like fists on my battling robots...

    Legs are small, but fine...

    Head is horrible and sits in his chest? Gold tooth and all...

    Very small compared to HA Bumblebee.

    Just a tad taller than the Deluxe for $20 bucks less... Yes, my wallet is crying...

     

    SCORE: 6 / 10

     

    Anyfan have a "hand mod" or "head swap" for this figure?

     

    i like the head. he's supposed to be goofy.. his head's goofy.. it fits.

     

    anyways.

     

    i think the size is great, it's one of the things that i really like about it. he's able to keep scale in both modes with bumblebee and sideswipe.. in the movie bumblebee was able to grab skids and mudflap by their scruff and throw them.. any bigger and he wouldn't be in perfect scale.

     

    and for the extra $20 you are getting a figure that looks worlds better in both modes, has a better transformation, more details, a better weapon, better head, and just overall a better more accurate look.. and you get a human figure and a sweet motorcycle for mikaela (i don't display arcee in robot mode).
