I'm glad to see you've come to terms with the fact that RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
:thumbup:

No sign of the Starscream flyer at my local Radio Shacks, but there's a cool video of it out there:

Target had a ton of Transformer stuff in their dollar area: stickers, tatoos, coloring books, pen/pencil bags, pencils, little drawstring bags, frisbees, and magnets.

I found GameStop's G1 accessories over the weekend ... sorta. I ended up with this really cool looking G1 360 faceplate. It's a Decepticon set featuring 12 Dreamwave inserts.

Prime is on the way--he hasn't been as well received as Bumblebee by many folks, though.

I found and bought the XBOX Decept ones, a couple for the DS lite, a couple of the PSP and PS2slim (whatever that means) ones. Problem is, for all the ones from Gamer Graffix, there's four different styles, and for the ones form Core Gamer, there's two different styles, which makes for 20+ possible variations... add to that the fact that each EB Games/Gamestop only get a random mix. It's going to be tough to track them all down.

The guy at the counter was like, "man you've got a lot of systems". He was even more confused when I told him the last video game I played was Frogger, somewhere around 1985.

Got both of the bikes at TRU, though. :crazyr:

Ah, gotcha.

I knew about the PSP, NDS, and 360's cases ... but not the PS2 slim.
I knew about the CoreGamer brand, but not the Gamer Graffix ones.

Of the ones I knew about, you're right ... it's going to be impossible to find all of these.

1 Autobot - NDS
1 Decepticon - 360

no Autobot 360, no Decepticon NDS.

I do have to say that the CoreGamer 360 plates are VERY nice. The power button has a sweet decepticon symbol on it. I'm sure it'll light up when you flip on the system.

duuuuuuuuuuuuude. :bowdown:

Any luck with the party goods yet? I did see these at TRU over the weekend. So if your Wal-Mart stinks, try the giraffe shop.

I want to see all of your Movie stuff in a picture one of these days. That must be a sight to be seen.

Anything you're still looking for that's been released? Have you see the FCUK (French Connection, United Kingdom) shirts? If not, check it out and look for the white camouflage design. The leaf pattern is nothing more than movie Prime silhouettes.
