    If I remember correctly it is south of Canal on Elizabeth their prices are'nt so great. Also it's spelled Mugen toys my mistake before. I'm terrible with remembering names but I think a block over on Mott in another store they have Korean versions ( or at least that's what I think they are) of two of the landcross sets and one of the Road Caesar carsboth for around $35. Usually when I get the chance to go to China town I wander aroud all the sides streets and go into anystore that even looks like it might have toys in it.

    For all of you in NYC Toy Tokyo has a loose Energon Unicron on display no price tag and I did'nt bother asking cause I'm not buying him. Also the owner is going on a buying trip to Japan for a few weeks asked to look for the Kabaya TF bottle caps.
    Comics World in Flushing (off Prince St) had two BT Smokescreens ($60 if you pay cash no tax). That's all I got for today

    I hope everyone looking for HoC got the message to check Rite Aid stores... yesterday I checked the Grand Central Station and Grand St. (lower east side) locations, and between them they had a complete set or two. I wish I'd waited a week instead of hopping around finding one at a time last weekend, but at least I have all of wave 4 now...

    Universe Autobot Ratchet and Universe Inferno are on the shelves at Walmart. I only found 1 PL Demolisher and 1 Nemesis Prime and I nabbed 'em both.

    Still no sign of Universe Tankor/Obsidian or the Emergency Team & Sea Team repaints.

    Any signs of Nemesis Prime in the NYC area? With Energon vastly upon us, he's the last Armada toy I need. Well him and red Thrust.

    I found Nemesis Prime, PL Demolisher, TFU Inferno and Rachet at the TRU in downtown Brooklyn NYC this afternoon. I grabbed the last Nemy and there's 2 PL Demolisher's left. They also have a whole rack full of TFU Infernos and Ratchets. My Armada is 99% done. All I need Red Thrust.

    I think he means the K-Mart in PENN STATION...in the city. Which pisses me off cause i was there on Wednesday (the day before im) and there was nothing there.

    Yah sorry about that. I usually go in there just to kill time waiting for the train. But Thursdays seem to be when they get shipments.

    I haven't been to TRU TS when they open recently, but I haven't seen sign of any new waves. I'm sure they'll get something next week since everyone is stocking for holidays now.

    And damn, that 34th st Kmart is a pain, especially since all the toys are on the bottom level. Oh well.

    I want Nemesis Prime!

    Yeah no kidding. K-Mart either has nothing, or all their TF stuff is spread out and awkwardly placed.

    Me, I'm waiting for red Thrust!
