    And he hasn't even shown up in my area, you've got to love Walmart's distribution.

    I'm trying to sell some stuff to build up a TFcon slush fund.

    Anyone need a Victory Saver or Scorponok with upgrades?

    I'm assuming bringing TFs along with you for anything other than trades is a no-no?

    Howdy everyone, I hope you are all doing well.

    Walmart on Florida Ave.

    Legacy Galvatron is starting to go on sale for $35.50, so check the clearance aisle if you are looking for him.

    I'll be going, first time there! Actually getting in a day early so I can bop around town a bit, hit Acme Superstore while I'm up there.

    I'm going to try, probably for just a day since I'm local. The wife and I flew up and went to TFCon 2013 (the year before they started adding US dates).

    If you're going to ACME take a trip just around the block to Davey's Toys. That goes for anybody coming to the Orlando area!

    Oh, and if you're into books check out Brightlight Books in Casselberry. It's my favorite bookstore around. They had the first IDW collection there last time I went so this recommendation is kinda TF-related :D

    I'll be going all 3 days! Last time I went was Chicago in 2018.

    I'll be wearing my News Staff shirt on Saturday in case anyone wants to say hi.

    I hope to go to TFCon at least one of the days! It’ll be my first ever TFCon so it’d be sweet
    you mean there is another collectible store 5 minutes from Acme and Google Maps never informed me of the fact when I lived in the area?!

    Oviedo target has a SS Voyager Cheetor. I've never seen one on the shelf. Nothing else of note though.

    Hey guys, nothing new to post today, but I have a question. Has anyone in South Florida, specifically the St. Petersburg, Clearwater, or Tampa seen the Toxitron collection? I am looking for G2 Grimlock, but haven't seen him or any of the other figures anywhere. Thank you and have a nice day.

    I've seen the Toxitron collection a few times in St. Petersburg, specifically Pinellas Park. Saw Grimlock once or twice in this area, but only other time I've seen him was a couple in Orlando. The St. Pete Grimlock sightings were like a month ago tho almost

    Thank you for the heads up, I guess the Walmarts in my area are slow to get any inventory as per usual.

    Target at Hillsboro & Powerline (Deerfield Beach) isn't worth a picture because it's gonna take a whole lot less than a thousand words to describe what's changed since my last post. The sale/discount is done. So, probably a back to school sale.

    Differences in what's there (changes for quantity in parenthesis):
    BB Tow-line x 3 (-1)
    Gamer Megatron x 1 (-1)
    BB SS Scourge x 3 (+3)
    BB 86 Dying Duo pack x 3 (+2)
    Legacy Voyager Nemesis Leo Prime x 4 (+2)

    Yes, the Buzzworthy Bumblebee packaged version of RotB Scourge. Sorry, I don't know if that's the SS version or what, I really haven't kept track of that.
