    I'd be into hanging out with some local fans and trade, buy, and sell some stuff. If we are truly interested, let's start talking about a central location and get the ball rolling. I mean even for the DC fans it isn't that long of a distance to meet up.

    Lurking around the boards and found this entry. I'd be into hanging out with a few people. Even though I'm new to the fandom. I live in the south east Baltimore area.

    I was thinking about going to the Convention but if there is not going to be any TF dealers than I will just stay home.

    You can never get anything here in Baltimore like they do in other states. Apparently its the worse place to hold a gathering to convention goers or people who wanna make a tubload of money.


    One is talking of Conventions right? Or are you just seeing if there are any Transformers Fans in Baltimore, Maryland? I'm one!

    Baltimore FTW :D 

    I was thinking more of a coffee meet/get together at a diner or something. Maybe we could stalk the Targets, Wal-marts, and the Toys R Us on 40 for fun to see whats in.

    I lived there for a few years, That is where I met my wife who was born in 'B-more. We lived in highlandtown too, next to Patterson Park. I didn't find any good toy/games shop in the area. I had to go to Glen Burnie or Frederick.

    WOTC has conventions there and Games workshop is headquartered in Glen Burnie, so there is always a convention for their miniature stuff. No cool toy conventions though.

    Just a shot in the dark.
    But if the movie makes it to the IMAX theater at the Science Center, would anyone be interested in having a sort of get-together and seeing it there? I know we don't know yet if it'll show there. But I think it could be kind of cool :3

    It's been hit or miss with me, but I've yet to find any Bumblebee Deluxe or Barricades for that matter. The Voyagers are scattered here and there, same with the Die cast figures.

    Who and what are you looking for?

    (we should probably turn this into PMs c_c..?)

    If anyone is interested, RUN to the Walmart in Glen Burnie tomorrow morning. Just copped ultimate Bumblebee and Leader Brawl from there, and there where three UBs left and four Leader Brawls. Can;t make any promises, but you can call in case scavengers have already raided the shelves.

    Wal Mart
    7992 Crain Hwy S
    Glen Burnie, MD 21061 Map
    (410) 969-5601

    Also, I shoulda mentioned, I'm looking for older figures, (Alternators, Cyberton, CLassics, ESPECIALLY ANYTHING STARSCREAM). I have so far, CC Bumblebee, Barricade, Blackout, Brawl, Starscream, Starscream G1 Redeco, both Megs, both Primes, Ironhide, Ratchet, Jazz. I'm looking for Scorponok, G1 Jazz and Bonecrusher.

    And here i thought i was one of the only transfans in baltimore. A get together would be nice. It would be cool to not get made fun and laughed at when i talk transformers for once. Since figures have been mentioned, has anybody seen any of the second wave movie figures? i.e. 2008 bumblebee, dreadwing, etc? The Walmart in dundalk(where i live) has the voyager class Megs, Optimus, thundercracker, and repaint ratchet from the movie. there was 2 or 3 of them each as of yesterday (24th) at about 2pm when i was there. Oh, and they had the skids and richochet alts for $10 back near plants and toys (clearnace area).

    Awesome, once the 21st rolls around and we know if it's in the theaters. We can work something out then. I have off Tuesday-Thursday x_o so it would have to be a weekday. Once it's out.. I guess one of us can make a post about it and figure things out.

    Ahh the land of the Golden Eggs. I live really close to Dundalk, more down by the steel mill. I'd be totally up for hanging out or a get together somewhere. Maybe we can work something out. As for the figures- I've seen no 2008 BBs anywhere.

    I checked the science center imax website...no plans for TF movie yet. I think I'd be able to convince the gf to see it with me.

    Targets in the Columbia area are filling up with g1 recolors. I've yet to see another cc bee or arcee deluxe since I nabbed them over a month ago.

    The Glen Burnie mall locations are usually good for picking up the new stuff...but haven't been there for quite a while.
