    Meetups will now be organized and arranged on Facebook. Please go to the following link....

    The Chosen Prime

    I will keep the info below for informational and archival purposes. Thanks folks, it has been a fun 7 years of organizing meet ups and befriending all of you :thumb 



    Next meetup
    : Check Facebook link above...


    Location: Brandon's office (The Chosen Prime) Location 3914 E. Presidio Street, Mesa, AZ 85215

    Official start time is usually 11am


    What do we do at the meetups? Well, basically we talk about and show eachother our toys Yeah, we are a bunch of transformer geeks that like to just hang out and talk TFs. All the news and gossip, good and bad, and all the new figures/releases. When Botcon rolls around we talk about that too

    What do I need to bring to the meetup? It only costs $25 per person payable in cash.......HA! just kidding The important thing is to bring yourself and be ready to introduce yourself and talk about transformers. You are always welcome to bring any TFs that you want to show off or discuss. Also, if you have some TFs and parts you'd like to get rid of, you can bring those too as we often trade/buy/sell stuff too, but that is not the focus of our group. I ususally bring a box or 2 of extra TFs I have laying around and anyone is welcome to rumage through them and buy/trade as they like.

    What about kids and family, can they come? Definitely! I have yet to see anyone get bored at our meetups.

    Thanks Dan. New thread, same deal. Go.

    Great, great meet up yesterday by the way. Glad to have been a part of it again.

    Some images from July 12, 2015. It won't be uncommon to see these things at future meet ups: Third party test shots, newly released toys from Hasbro, old school G1 toys, etc.

    the choice to move to Saturdays now, was due to football season coming up in Sept. since knowing alot of us are NFL fans.

    Hmm, it's got that new thread smell in here! Great photos from the last meet, really makes me miss them! We've been trying to set something up here in Pittsburgh, but it's been bad timing all summer.

    Hey Andrew, did you sell that Universe Skyfall? I'm in the market for one.

    This has happened literally every year for at least the past five years. Cry some more.

    Jay,

    It wasn't our intention to exclude you. Football wasn't the only reason we moved to Saturday. For the larger group that showed up on Sunday; it was proposed that an earlier start on a Saturday would work better for most of us. Again, this is a test and may change depending on how it all plays out.

    Howdy folks. I have changed 2 of the future meetups (not September;) ) to a Sunday date to not exclude anyone. Please keep in mind that we try our best to accommodate everyone, but it is simply not possible.

    We would really welcome you guys from New Mexico :thumb  They usually last 3-4 hours, but if you are coming from a distance I am sure we could make a night out of it, especially on a Saturday :cool:

    I am sorry about the way I acted. I understand why the change happened. I was frustrated that I wasn't there to discuss it.
