Can anyone point me in the right direction to get an assortment of small screws? I have lost several small screws when fixing my toys. I am looking for an assortment of screws so I can find ones that may fit.
Ill tell you this much: no hardware store or craft shop seems to carry anything small enough for TFs. I did find some decent screws at a Hobbytown USA. Not sure if other specialty or hobby shops carry anything worth your while. Hopefully somebody else here has better tips. In the meantime, do what I do: scavenge any & all screws from toys that you can find...
^^^ Pretty much that. If I ever am going to throw a figure away or part it out, I always keep the screws. You might want to check out stores that sell computer components. I bought a few small baggies of small screws from Radio Shack a while back, so you could start there.
Junker electronics, like cassette players, remote controls, cd players, mice (any kind of smaller eletronics) tend to have screws that can work. I've found that old laptops have really fine threaded ones, sizing from small to very tiny but you should make sure that nobody is using or has a need for any of these electronics before you scrap them for the screws alone. Also take note of the difference between the threads, toy screws tend to be widely spaced apart while electronics ones are very fine, using differently threaded screws will change the toy's threading and will make it so you have to use that screw only from then on.
