First of all, grievousXe is the man for find these in the first place. We have a TJ Max but I found my TF2, Marvel2 and SW5 starters at a Marshalls! For those of you do don't have a TJ Max check it out you may have some luck. If I am not mistaken they are owned my the same company. Not thats out of the way. The TF starter ROCKS! Prime and Megatron are Super Wicked cool and SkyWarps power is amazing, (stand up him up, behind enemy lines!) WOW! it is a great power for him. But what is up with the Starter Vader? His arms barely make it over his base. But I like the hoth han. Try knocking him over. And the starter spider-man that web ball is for the birds. It hits the table in front of him and bounces away! has anyone got it to work for them? But the HULK kicks super butt 14 -15 clicks! Hard hitting and sacrifice 10, 20 or 30 point figs. NICE FIGURE! Thing.. WHy didn't they give him an upper cut? Dr. Ock WHO CARES?!

Wow. Today was like opposite day. I usually walk into the Taylor, MI TJ all forlorn-like (because I have to go in) and leave hyped (on account of my getting to leave). Today I entered excited (without my wife dragging me kicking-n-screaming, no less!) and left kinda bummed. I got me the SW5 starter (hail the dandruff Chewbacca!) but was sad to find a lack of the TF starter. I considered abandoning my scruples and scalping the thing on ebay for all it's worth, but changed my mind. Mostly because I wanted to play around with Vader with foe flippin' action, but then I read Defender's post. Double check... holy tix, that IS a 12 speed. They also had Republic Gunship, Movie Spidey Tourney set, and a few SW and Marvel boosters. I'm gonna have to go check the Dearborn store for TF before classes today..... I had to exalt Grievous for his super-ultra-mega pimptitude. I never would have gotten this little gem without you, buddy!

Hey gang, I'd happily pay the traditional/non-discount starter set price for anyone who would be willing to grab me a Star Wars Series 5 starter plus shipping and any additional incentives you may need to do me this wonderful favor.
PM me.
Thanks.

It's a restaurant chain that serves a lot of burgers and Southwestern type dishes as well as odd ball things like meatloaf. It's designed to look like a Mountain Lodge and usually they are situated overlooking a river (at least the ones I been to have). They give you rolls of bread with every meal that have about 10 pounds of butter glazed on them... hmmmm.

Hey gang, I checked A.J. Wrights and found more starters. Unfortunately, I still can't find any T.F. S2 SS. I did however, find Marvel S2 and SW S5 SS's. They also had TONS of SW S4 SS's and T.F. S1 SS's. This was not consistent for every store I went to today, but one had a plethora. Stupid Transformers, I can't find any! I don't understand why these stores have different names. When you go into them (TJ Maxx, AJ Wright, Marshalls) they are all set up the same and carry all discounted merchandise.

The white stuff is supposedly snow from being on Hoth. Thats what I figured but I was wondering why in the picture grievousXe posted Chewy doesn't appear to have the white stuff.

Well, you actually can just barely see the white specks on the Chewbacca figures. You have to look very closely and, if you do see them, they look like they're just large chunks of dust on the box. It's an honest oversight and it took me a second to find the snowflakes and I knew they should be in the picture. Also, to everyone calling me grievousXe, just stick with grievous. The "Xe" is just showing my support for a certain following and can be disregarded when referring to me. I'm better known as just plain ol' Grievous.
