I bought something else forgot what then they offered me a credit card and got the spoils on the spot. It came out to getting the toy for free. Years later I would get a couch and bed from that place.

Too bad. I think they're closing.

I remember seeing Energon toys all the way till 2008 in some Sears. I remember their prices were steeper than the rest.

My first Sears pick up was Alternator Skids.

I'Ve never gotten a TF from Sears... every time I went there was nothing good available.

JOIN US!!

They are surprisingly good and fun to handle. They manage the business of being cool transformers and also being TOYS very well. Plus, the mostly faithful G1 spirit helps a lot.

They are also surprisingly big in combined mode... though the proportions are a bit off. It's forgivable in Superion because he always had funny proportions, but Menasor's torso looks really short in pictures. I guess we'll see.

It sounds like Combiner Wars will be on for a year or so, so you'll have time to pick some up on sale eventually.

All in all hasbro has done a great job considering how much superion costs....they dont have the budge 3p has, but damn, they got close to their quality. Best part, hasbro saved me 400$....at least for now XD

It's true... the pictures of the Aerialbot transformations bugged me a lot when I saw them online, but the kibble in alt-mode feels less blatant in-hand for some reason.

I still feel like hasbro could have solved some of that issue without adding new steps to the engineering, simply by making the wing scale on the jets bigger, so that it covers more of the kibble. From the top, Silverbolt's wings don't even cover all of his junk! That's really my only critique of these. Looking forward to the Stunticons. Dragstrip is actually surprisingly large in car mode.

Yeah, I bought a couple of DOTM Voyagers from Sears, when they went on clearance.

It feels like Sears has been irrelevant for a long time now. I'm kind of surprised that they didn't close years ago.

I have no idea how they are staying open, everything is overpriced. I take advantage of their parking during the holidays when the rest of the lot for the mall is packed :P

[Buhawi]

Wow! I didn't know they're staying open.

Plus de rabais pour tout le monde.

I like the clothing at Sears. I can find pants in my size there sometimes and they have good solid color t-shirts.

and boxers!

Whooohooo.
Went to see Sugar Sammy's show last night (Friday). Had a blast. He's great.

So I've gone to see the following comedians perform here in Montreal:
- Russell Peters
- Jerry Seinfeld
- Sugar Sammy

Anyone else that's recommended?
Stéphane Poirier did half of the opening act to Sugar Sammy's show, and I thought he was quite funny as well, so I might be tempted to catch his show coming in March...

I gotta catch him and Russel at least once.

since you're married now, I recommend watching Mark Gungor.

Hilarious!

Nah, wasn't that close. We were in row like... 25.

Funniest impromptu moment:
Sammy: "Et vous monsieur, votre nom est?..."
Dude: "JP."
Sammy: "JP. Donc c'est Jean-Philippe?"
Dude: "No, it's Jim-Peter."
Sammy: "WTF!?!? Jim-Peter, seriously!??!?"
