    Anybody know the cheapest place to get a MP TT Prowl? The 12 and 11 year-olds rough-housed, ran into the shelf, and he took a dive. Normally wouldn't be a huge deal, but he managed to come down on a door wing, and it snapped off at the joint.

    Needless to say, I'm a tad pissed.

    Did your significant other say anything about “that’s why you shouldn’t have them out” I know my wife does. :p  if you can work with a hasbro version, I think DFW vintage toys in Carrollton has one.

    Sort of. We have a fairly small apartment, and they're in the living room at the end of the hall. Directly across from them is the end of the couch, so you have to walk between the shelf and they end of the couch to get into the living room. Admittedly, it's a bit narrow, but again, it's a small apartment.
    So she tried to blame it on that, conveniently forgetting that I'm the biggest one in the house by a mile, and I manage to never bump into them...

    Do you know how much they want at Vintage? It actually WAS a Hasbro (the only one of my MPs that was), but I figured I'd take the opportunity to finalize standardize across the board.

    You're lucky she lets you have them in the living room. When we lived in a tiny apartment, most of mine had to go into storage and the few that were on display were in the bedroom.

    Well, that's when the part where I said she likes them comes in. She actually thinks they're cool (she finds the Titans - currently in storage - to be "cute", and won't let me sell them because she says they're her "giant babies"), plus we both collect pops, so it works out.


    Dude, thanks!

    Nice, my wife is not into collecting. She's cool with it but it's definitely not her thing.

    She does think my Tamashii Nations Samurai Spider-Man is pretty good-looking though. She's totally right, it's a beautiful piece.

    I forgot to post this on Saturday but Willowbrook TRU had 2 MP-10 Optimus Primes as of 10:00 AM Saturday. I also saw and left a full case of The Loyal Subjects Thundercats figures at TRU too.

    I didn't find any TF TR or POTP Leader figures in my travels this weekend. I was able to pick up the Voltron classic Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow Lions at the Walmart on 1960/Eldridge to complete the Playmates Classic Voltron as I got the Black Lion from the Jones/249 Target last weekend. I also got a Rubick's Crew Optimus Prime at the Spring Cypress/249 Walmart for $2.00. There was only 1 left after I got mine.

    There was a TR Cloudracker/Wingspan 2 pack at the Walgreens on 2920/Kuykendahl in case anyone is still looking for that. Plenty of stores have POTP Deluxes and Legends wave 1 stocked. Plenty of Voyager Starscreams out there too.

    Most of the Walgreens I have been to had wave 3 (Triggerhappy, Hot Rod, Twinferno, Getaway) & 4 (Krok, Quake, Perceptor, Top Spin, Kup) TR deluxes. Never seen past wave 4 TR deluxes at Walgreens yet.

    So I lost my headmaster for my TR Ramhorn so if anyone has an extra that they’re willing to give up hit me up we can negotiate. Thanks
