Endless Mike posted:TeeFury has a couple Tarnsformers, uh, "inspired" t-shirts today. I think both are pretty sweet! The Aztec Grimlock with the blood smear is awesome, and Escherscream is cool too. I would probably get them both if I already didn't have a few teefury shirts in the mail coming in, heh

Well, I just won a Soundwave on ebay. I guess that's that. Time to sell the Energon and Alternators stuff I have sitting in boxes.

In robot mode, he's armed with a spiky sharktooth spear, and the blades snap out when he's ready to attack! He can launch a devastating attack from above in his new shark jet mode! Also which one is big dumb optimus? The leaderesque horror show?

I liked when Aaron Archer got to write the box backs sometimes. Always wanted to see what the goblet of strife looked like.

Picked up the last MP Soundwave at my local TRU today. Apparently they shipped all of one case each to the stores in Washington. What the gently caress TRU distribution.

The crane to weapon owns, but I think I like Trailcutter more of the two. My Target really didn't have a lot there. It was some FOC Jazz/Shockwaves and two Trailcutters.

My Toysrus and Targets have nothing as well, it seems online only is the way to get the figures. However there seems to be one TRU that charges 25 dollars for each deluxe figure and 20 dollars for each legends figure. It's the only store in the area that does it. I'm tempted to go out of my way to find a Wal-Mart to see how their Transformer prices are, because target sells them for around 5 dollars cheaper than the 15 dollar price online. I don't get why generations doesn't have sufficient stock.

I picked up the Million publishing 2013 Transformers Generations book yesterday, and the have some really awesome prototype and design drawings of Metroplex in it. Originally, in carrier mode, he was supposed to have two large tie fighter esque delta wings that would fold out and cover the arms sticking out the back. Think like a Star Wars episode 3 Jedi star fighter. The waist would have also sat lower to the ground so that there was less of a space between the chest and the leg runway. What could have been...

Proof that I'd be a horrible scalper: Only picked up one MP Soundwave for a friend when it looked like they had at least 3 or 4 in stock. I didn't even come back later and see if a different person was at the counter or anything. drat yous, functioning senses of guilt and shame!

The TRU near here got 40 Soundwaves this morning. They are trying to meet demand, it's just going to take some time. This isn't going to be another MP-10 Optimus situation. On a related note, some TRUs have started to charge $131.99 for Soundwave, which is pure bullshit. Here is the link to the Soundwave page on their website. If you find one in a store, and they try to charge you $132 for it, pull that webpage up on your phone and make them price match their own website at $119.99.

My post con depression is starting to kick in, but no worries, I'm doing one con right after another, as Charticon is next weekend. I just wish they would change the name. If anyone from outside NC is going to Charticon, make sure you go to Cook-Out and drink Cheerwine at least once. This is important.

I don't expect Charticon to be like a TFCon, but TFCon is like the highest standard as far as Transformers conventions go and you shouldn't expect it to be. I'm expecting it to be above BotCon and local toy shows, but still below TFCon because Auto Assembly is really the only thing that can compete with TFCon.

I don't know who this comic shop is blowing, but they have the first wave of IDW deluxes in right now. And at a reasonable (for the UK) price. Only £17.99 (~$25) each. Considering a store around the corner has wave 1 of the Pacific Rim figures for £40 ($60) EACH, that's an actual bargain. I'm going to pick up Trailbreaker, but both Megatron and Orion Pax are looking pretty nifty too...

The first one of those "Transformer heads on a stick" things used for actors' eyelines has been spotted on the set of Transformers 4, and...well, there never really was much hope. Only a fool's hope.

I mean seriously what the gently caress is that  So has anyone seen the RiD preview? Apparently Starscream's getting a new body (Armada style?) and we have a new decepticon doctor, Flatline (from some movieverse comics I guess). That's a pretty cool name by the way.
