    Post away! Tell of your experiences, good or bad, while shopping for Transformers figures.

    My most memorable is probably when I waited outside TRU for about ahalf hour, waiting for the store to open so I could ger my hands on the Movie Figures. I also had a nice chat with another TF fan.

    Most: Telling a person with a Laptop that they had TF:A toys at the wal-mart while in the KB toys in the mall. He fainted.

    Worst: When I had found 2 2008 Concept BB's. Then some person (Scalper?) took them outta my 2 hands and ran off with them.

    Eh, I have allot of experiences. I can probably remember most of the days a bought each of my TF's fairly well(I know that was worded badly).

    Best: Transformers Energon Shockblast. Me, my brother, and my dad were at Toys R' us, I was looking for Shockblast. I had been looking for him for at least over three weeks with no success; I couldn't find him, but right before we were about to leave my bro spotted him on one of the higher shelves. That day I bought one of my most treasured figures.

    Worst: Transformers Animated Bubblebee. Ok, I know this thing isn't the worst figure in the world, and it's not even my least favorite figure I own; however, I felt SO ridiculous walking out of K-Mart with this thing. It was just embarrassing. I mean, it looks like a toy that kids less than half my age would buy. It didn't help that my grandma made the comment that it looks like something my cousin would have, and he's 5 years old.

    Best: Finding Things I never Expected to find, like TFU Unicron, and TFU Comic 2-packs, though there were others.

    Worst: Walking into a TRU and seeing Movie Leader Brawl but I was broke.

    Best: Being lucky enough to catch up on TF's during walmarts 7.77 sale. That and finding the first Blitzwing in my area.

    Worst: back during the movie, always seeing empty shelves meant for TFs, but was a good thing cause it meant it hit it big again.
