    Well, finding new stuff in stores isn't so much the focus, just getting together with other transformer fans, so it could work. But hey, maybe Van Buren/Fort Smith would be the better option then?


    I'm not sure, but I doubt that'd work out for me. Though February 28th or March 7th I was tentatively thinking of taking a little daytrip, including swinging by Autobot City finally.

    Getting closer to that time, so is April/Fort Smith area good for another meet-up?

    Anybody interested in a little meet-up around Little Rock on Saturday March 7th too?

    So, sounds like flik and iacon are out...

    Is there anybody else that'd be in for it? Anybody? Bueller?

    Leaders matrix, transformers32, interested in meeting up if it's just 3? My place would be open, I'd like to go check out Autobot City too. Maybe just hold off until April and then flik and iacon could maybe make it too then?

    If we could wait until mid to last part of April or have another one by then, there would be a 75% chance I'd be able to make it.

    Likewise L_M. I wonder how many more Transfans are out there in Arkansas. Makes me want to revive that little "Arkansas Transfans" forum idea I had a while back.

    heck yea, see what happens.
    also hit The Timemachine, in the Fort, hes redoing all the store and puting the G1 Stuff in Display Cases,( Some have been stolen, and some got broke and left), I told him we would be hitting him some weekend soon and the owner said he had a lot of con's to hit this month, so he would not be open on weekends, til April, so I said I would check with him then,( got a biss card) and set it up so he would be there when we meetup here.

    Isn't that the one in down town Fort Smith?

    If it is I remember going there one time. I think someone else was working there though. They had a Primal Prime MISB and I asked how much and he originally told me $30. Then as I was about to check out with it he did a 180 and said that he suddenly thought the "guy" paid alot more for it and couldn't sell it to me for $30. >_<

    Im up for it.....its just a matter of will I have time....once the time comes....lol


    I would also like to check out this Autobot city and the Time Machine.

    If it was only a handful of people then I would be willing to have a good movie night here and some beer. I have over 325 DVD's and Bluray movies and a 60" 1080P DLP. The only thing is that seating is limited cause I have a smallish house.....more of a starter home.

    pic for reference.....and I have a PS3 now too.... :)

    Time Machine sounds great for when we go to Fort Smith... but maybe May is sounding better for that?

    Well, do people want to meet up on Saturday? Maybe meet at Autobot City, say around 4:30-5pm?(Matt, you're off at 4, so is that enough time for you?) Swing by some other stores, get something to eat, see Matt's collection, could go to my place too, and go over to CP's place too?
