I didn't accuse I was asking.... thus the question mark

Too bad TRU is so damn over priced on Voyagers

Beats eBay though, doesn't it? I have no interest in these so I don't know what they run, I was just there looking for a vehicon.

I guess. I can wait forever for them to be on the shelf when I'm shopping. I always find everything I want eventually.

I'm going to Novi also!

It happened to me right in Dearborn TRU. This dickbag thought it was hilarious that he used all of our findings to get his shit. "AND< Im not even a member there!!!" I never let on I was either until he spewed that...The original story is probably a few pages back, that is when I was invited to the MI group.

You guys say you're trying to create a community but yet somehow you're using the web as a place for you and your 7 buddies. If the comic shop guy istheissue and he or she has the gumption to show up at a get together and socialize, maybe they aren't so douchey. At the very least you'd be growing your circle of friends and contacts with the people who did show up.

Chicago has an awesome group of he man collectors called the Chicago horde. Its just a little disappointing that this group doesn't try to be a little more social.

And if people don't have the 12 bucks to buy those vehicons off you? Then you've learned that people maybe aren't interested in buying from the community and maybe they're happy going to the secondary market to get stuff and paying the markup. Heck I didn't go to botcon this year, so I know Ill have to pay market on whatever bots I might want. Same with the club figure this year.

At the least you're actively trying to create an inclusive community as opposed to an exclusionary one.

See the guy im talking about, is SERIOUSLY hated around here by most guys I talk to that are either in comics or hobby of toy collecting. Im not going through the story again as its in previous pages anyway, but you bet your sweet ass that one of his employees or himself is reading this right now. Its not a childish stupid grudge I have against him, he practices some of the most dispicable scalping that any of you have ever even heard of. I would LOVE a monthly meet up. I would do that NO problem. One of the main reasons I am hunting for Vehicons are so some of my buddys here can get them.

I already got a few PMs from the guys looking. From being a regional manager that was in every TRU Target and Walmart every week in SE MI I know when each store gets the truck, and I can even walk up to TRUs computer with my own PIN and access it to find out if they are back there.

I am the ANTI SCALPER. I will buy all the HTF shit, and dish it out to the guys on here that want it. The guy that owns the shitshop has his employees go out almost every morning getting stuff like this, How do I know? HE TOLD ME. I was on good terms with him until I caught him in a MASSIVE Lie, and confronted him about it, and he lied even more. again.,..not getting into it as they read these pages anyway, and im pretty sure they wont say "Hey, I work at ________"

Big Ben's Comix Oasis has a pretty solid Transformers section though.
STORE PHOTOS

Big Bens is SOLID. he has nice stuff, VERY fair prices on alot of stuff, and he is just an all around good guy to sit and shoot the shit with. Big Bens is the ONLY comic shop around here I patronize anymore.

Found that bulkhead someone stashed behind the Human alliance stuff.

Was that you? Thanks!

They have more in back. Southgate did not get a single TF on the truck this week, just the Optimus costume.

AngryChad · 05-17-2012, 02:38 PM

Anti-scalpers. I like that. I would've picked up multiples of the Starscreams and Bulkheads if I thought there was anyone here who needed one, providing I didn't have to drive too far. Still looking for a vehicon, but from what I can tell that wave hasn't hit my area yet.

Devil Prime · 05-17-2012, 04:21 PM

Nothing in Okemos today.

Battle Creek is barren. Heck, they've even sold out of all the wave 2 deluxes. The few toys left are all wave 1 dlxs and voyagers. It's about time for a restock I imagine.
