    I just checked. I haven't posted in over a year. :/ I did get that Springer, tho. :) 

    What did I miss? Can someone make me one of those Facebook movies to catch me up?

    Thanks for the heads up! Got him and Rhinox finally. Use code 10HTSDISC for 10% off (thanks to the deals thread).

    Now if only freaking Skids and Waspinator would show up locally or be online for at or near retail...

    Assuming TRU doesn't jack the price to $100 by the time they actually come out.

    For years now the listed price at the convention vs. what TRU actually sells them for has been very different. You can bet TRU will milk this to the max.

    Thanks! I haven't been to ToyCon in ages so I'm going tomorrow. Will I see anyone there?

    Dojatron was at the Blackhawks game today. I think he still lives just around the corner from me.

    Managed to get a Whirl for $20 at the toycon. There was a Takara MP Soundwave, some other vintage g1 stuff as well. Plenty year of the whore primes & starscreams also. If it's marvel figures you're looking for that's the place to be.

    Despite being a comic collector before a Transformers/toy collector, I had no idea Marvel toys were in such high demand and they made so many until I started looking for Transformers at conventions.

    There is a lot of overpriced stuff at the show, but you will find some deals. padre got a great deal on Whirl & Skids. I got some good deals on Lego sets.

    target palatine had another set of the new idw wave (skywarp/scoop/minicons/armadascream) 1 of each. they still never changed the price tag (9.99) from when I bought mine and had to get a price adjustment, so if you're around the area and need them, just do the same. wave ain't bad for $40, though imo I'd pass on that minicon team. definitely the stinkers of that set when scoop and armadascream are so excellent.
