Yesterday, Prime and I went out and about, hitting a few stores for the hell of it. While Prime hit Toys R Us looking for TF movie merch, I went to the local mall. I was looking for a little something at Hot Topic, namely this.
That's right, it's a Bumblebee pin. A G1 Bumblebee pin. I've known about it since BotCon and have been trying like hell to track one down, with absolutely no luck. And last night looked like it I would strike out yet again. The local mall Hot Topic had only two Megatron pins; no Optimus and no Bumblebee.
Dejected, I headed back to the car, told Prime and we left the mall area. We hit a couple of other stores and it looked like we were going to head home, when I mentioned how much I wanted the pin. Prime asked if there were any other Hot Topics in the area, and I told him about the one in Green Bay. (A friend of ours told me about that location.) So, he borrowed my cell, called the Green Bay store and asked the question.
They had the pin. The only problem? They closed at 9 pm. It was now 8:35.
Prime turned the car in the right direction, got the old heap up to 75 mph and we burned to Green Bay.
We got to the mall at 9pm. I practically jumped out of the car and ran inside, heading straight to Hot Topic. I was running so fast, I ended up with a frigging stitch in my right side.
I purchased three pins, all Bumblebee. I was their last customer for the night. When I get the chance, I'll post a pic or two.
::sigh:: The things I do for the character I love.......
--Weasel, pathetic Bumblebee worshipping Transformer freak..... and proud of it!
