    I ordered on 9/30 but it took BBTS 3 DAYS to process the order so it didn't make it to FedEx location in St. Paul MN till 10/3.

    Then for every 3 or 4 hour stoping point it made it would sit for the rest of the day. I'm on the East side of PA but it basically took them 4 days for what's really only an 18hr distance from Fedex in MN to USPS.

    Which has now been sitting there since yesterday afternoon with an estimated arrival of this Tuesday afternoon despite USPS being in my own damn zipcode!

    Isn’t Monday Columbus Day? That’s probably why Tuesday and not Monday

    The last time I was waiting for a BBTS shipment, the tracking was a week. I checked and it said the package was at the FedEx hub in Hagerstown, so I called to see if I could just pick it up since I was going to be there anyway. They said it wasn't actually there, and that Smart Post just lists it at the hub point as a 'it's on it's way' type of thing.
    Yeah, the cheap shipping is nice, but it is a perfect example of getting what you pay for.

    There is one lone Scorn at the Pittsburgh Mills Walmart. No Nitro in sight.

    Chambersburg Walmart has two Scorns. Nothing else worth mentioning.

    Hey guys, I can't remember the last time I posted here. I lurk the main page every day, but that's about the extent of my activity here, anymore.

    My collecting kind of stopped a few years ago, and then I got divorced and moved, and my entire collection has been in storage for a year. I'm going to be moving again soon, and I just can't justify keeping my hundreds of toys in storage. I've been wanting to sell them off for a while now, but I don't have the time to list, sell, and ship everything individually.

    Do any of you know of a bulk buyer/reseller that I could contact in Southeast PA? Also, if any of you are looking for anything in particular, I am open to piecemeal transactions; I just have the time to sort through and list everything I own.

    I also have a lot of original MMPR toys from the first several seasons, designer vinyl toys, etc, that I would also like to unload, if you know of any shops or individuals that might be worth my while.

    Sorry to get off-topic, I just don't know how else to find someone local and reputable. Feel free to reply via PM to keep the side-discussion to a minimum.

    Thanks!

    So does Chambersburg Kmart. That price is asinine.

    Yeah, they're still there. The OS KO's of both of them offer more bang for the buck.

    I have the Voyager Megatron and the OS KO both. The Voyager is better in that it isn't ridiculously huge and actually fits in with a movie collection. The OS KO is decent, but in a scale all it's own, being literally as large as CW Bruticus.

    Any decent tfs at a cheap price... I've already been to Kmart Wal-Mart 2 targets Ross and marshalls. Tomorrow I'll probably look for goodwills salvation armies and maybe TRU

    If i can find a deal at retail cool, if i could find a specialty shop nearby I'll as least browse and maybe I'll find something unexpected ... I was hoping i was closer to Allen town so i could check out black rose but maybe another time

    There's a new Community Aid in Harrisburg to check out too. Also one in Mechanicsburg on the Carlisle Pike as well as a Goodwill with a second Goodwill in Lemoyne. The three near me are eh on Transformers, though the Community Aid in the Pike is where I found my G1 Bumper. TrU is farther up the Pike along with a Target, Walmart and another thrift store I can't remember the name of.

    I grabbed the new Scorn that just came in. The one with the messed up face that has been sitting there for over a week still remains.
