    So was Brake Neck ever spotted in the Orlando area? I haven't seen it anywhere and online it's being sold for quite a bit of money.

    I thought he was an online-only deal. Same thing with Slingshot.

    I went to Gods and Monsters earlier. I was very impressed with their huge selection of TFs. They even have two different Takara Omega Supremes. Too bad I'm too poor to buy those. Lol

    TF-related because i'm trying to plus-up my CW Devastator:

    anybody know of any stores in central Florida/Orlando that sell Tamiya products? i'm specifically looking for TAMIYA Panel Line Accent paints and i'd really rather buy them in person than online. every time i order something like this, it ends up shipping from Asia and takes weeks on end.

    Tamiya America - Find A Dealer

    Looks like Hobby Lobby sells Tamiya paint. I would start calling the shops listed. Also any R/C hobby shop should sell it too

    Both Colonial Photo & Hobby (on East Colonial and Mills) and Central Florida Hobby (on West Colonial and Kirkman) carry Tamiya Paints. I frequent both, and have never seen the Panel Line accents, been wanting to try them out myself. However, I haven't been to Colonial Photo and Hobby for a while now.

    I was going to say that, Michaels, or Joann's would be the places to check. There used to be a Hobby Shop in the old Pubix plaza on 50 and Alafaya behind Taco Bell, but they've built up so much I doubt it's still there.

    You wont find Tamiya at either of those craft stores. In fact, I really don't think Hobby Lobby has the traditional jars of Tamiya either, only a selection of spray cans, and some of thier other hobby supplies. For thr paint, you've got to find hobby shop that specializes in plastic model or R/C type of stuff.

    It's a bit of a drive from Orlando, but there's a HobbyTown USA in Sanford that I'm 99% sure has Tamiya paints. The Coliseum of Comics stores at the Mall of Millenia and Orlando Fashion Mall might also have them since they have some decent Gundam selections.

    Target on 9th in St. Pete had 2 leader TCs and 2 Armada Megs. They also had all of deluxe wave 4 with 1 extra Sunstreaker and 1 extra Ironhide. I grabbed one of each so no more Prowl or Mirage. No CW voyagers but they also had 1 legends Rodimus.

    Nah, that little hobby shop closed down years ago. I'm surprised it stayed open for as long as it did. Every time I went in there, there was a thick layer of dust on everything. The old guy that owned it only cared about the R/C helicopters and boats. Everything else was filler to him.

    Um, just a heads up. I was just on the new Hasbro toy shop site and they have the new Devastator listed for $0.00. I tried seeing how far I could go with trying to order it but it locked me up around the payment page. I figured it might have stopped me since I didn't have an account. Maybe if any of you have one it might work. I figure it's worth a shot.
