    At one time TransFan could order 3rd party stuff if they didn't have it? not sure if they're still doing that?

    Example I asking them to order DMY Studio missile attachment for DoubleDealer and they said they will order it, but never got confirmation if it came in or not OR they sold it to someone else?

    The Mentor Walmart has TLK voyagers on clearance for $7. When I left earlier, they had one Megatron and two Hounds.

    Anybody hitting up TRUs this weekend, can you keep an eye out for the things in the picture below? I had picked up three of the six available, and it turned out they were really fun, but when I went back to Dayton South the other day they were all gone. It looks like these may be TRU exclusives, so I'm hoping maybe one of the other TRUs still has them. I have Frogger, QBert, and Space Invaders, still need Breakout, Asteroids, and Centipede. At Dayton South TRU, they were not with the Legos, but were instead in the electronics, with the mini working arcade machines and other small electronics. They're not expensive - less than $3 a pop, and I'd really like to complete my set, so if you find them in the wild can you hit me up? 513-568-8855

    Isn't this run by peeps who used to be affiliated with Fun Pub? That would explain the little too expensive price for a 2 day con.

    Though I do see a walk up is only $10 so that's not too bad. But that Pre-Reg haha yeesh.

    Those prices are asinine, just like his conventions.
    Good grief. To each their own, if y'all like 'em that's great, but not me. Yikes.

    Who cares about his Funpub past. Just do the walk in for $10, at least that gets you into a dealer room that's mostly transformers.

    That's kinda what I was feeling. The only thing that might tempt me would have been the customization classes, and they're not even going to be unique things like the unpainted Ratchet, it's just going to be making goth Swoop.

    Oh yea, I was just trying to remember if I was correct on my assumption there. The $10 seems more than fair. The $70 pre reg just seems like old habits die hard haha.

    Also to be more on topic, still didn't see any wave 2 POTP last weekend when I was doing some shopping.

    Found two Studio Series Grimlocks and one Studio Series Blackout at Meijer in Hamilton, Ohio. Nothing else new, however.

    I know this isn't exactly the place for this, but I'm hoping I can find a deal in Ohio if anyone's interested. I've been looking for some Takara accessories, but have had no luck in setting up a deal or finding a B/S/T topic with them listed. I'm looking for the Starscream Titan Master that comes with Legends Octane and the Elephant-Tank-Drone that comes with Legends Blitzwing. If anyone's willing to part with them, let me know!

    I just ran into those today at TRU Beavercreek - picked up Asteroids and Space Invaders for myself. You can find 'em in the "pop culture collectibles 'n' crap" aisle. Seemed to have a full selection when I left (friday 7PM-ish), though there was another box/tray full of nothing but Centipede for some reason.

    Fun to find something interesting at TRU. With the outta-bizniss clearance TFs are between thin and nonexistent there. Never saw a Thundercracker, though I'm not looking very hard.

    I could be completely wrong but, those look like some of the augmented product that the liquidator has been bringing in to sell. I will keep my eye out next time I work.
