    That would be cool, I always wonder when I go in to Walmart of TRU when I see people looking at TF's if its anyone from the boards. Im not shy I always ask!! Yeah that would be cool, I have tons of stuff to sell, and love to cordinate things like that. Sounds like fun stuff....

    I was thinking of doing that a few times myself Contessa. But the last time I saw an apparent Transfan the guy seemed to be in a rush and not in a good mood.
    Seeing as some Transfans threaten to kill someone for liking Beast Wars or anything, I didn't talk to him. ;) 

    Though the past 2 times I went to KB at Lakeline to buy both Destructicon sets, I did start conversatiosn with parents who were fans of the line back in the day and are buying the new stuff for their kids. That was neat.

    man I know of no transfans here.. I mean, sure you all here on the boards, but in my normal everyday life, never meet anyone! It'd be kinda weird! lol

    but in a cool way! It's been a long while since botcon 96 to be among other transfans


    I've never run into a possible fan in the toy aisles... just hear little kids wanting them everynow and then! that's always nice to see...

    helped on lady choose which one to get her neice... PL Red Alert was right on hand!

    I got to UT btw... dunno if anyone here does too!

    If I know for certain I'd be attending any of the conventions this year, I'd love to meet everybody in the area. Even if not, I'd probably still be interested.

    speaking of conventions.... there is the collector expo next weekend, Nov 7 or so? date is probably wrong, but it's next weekend....

    that's always interesting.... they've always had some peeps with tfs, and usually the same two guys, although last time I was REALLY suprised when one guy showed up with some japanese exclusive G1 tfs..... that's ALWAYS nice to see :D

    We had a houston/texas area yahoo group at one time but it bottom out. I was wanting to start up another Texas wide transfan group on yahoo. Covering all the areas of texas so nobody was left out. If you are interested and wanna help me get it together lemme know. We can always hold small group swaps and try to attend the conventions together as a group instead of going hoping to randomly see each other. Just a thought anyway.

    and bringing them together, even if just online, would be a great idea. especially if done the right way. that mean you're interested Onslaught?

    Texas is way big. Though I'd be in it for a group at least. But I like the Austin/Houston/Dallas split also, since most of us will live in one of those 3 zones.

    Then ppl in Midlands can bite it. ;)  Kidding. With the fact that half our counties are bigger than most countries in the world, a state wide and regional thing is a good idea.

    BTW, the TRU at I-35 and Palmer has a lot of TF toys. Nothing new as of Halloween though. But if you're looking for 'older' releases (wave 7, maybe 8) and wave 1/1.5 of TFU, they got a bunch. And Tiny Tin Spychangers.
    And a million Unicrons.

    Re: Texas TransFans Groups

    I used to be a part of TheCHAT but the people who run it start too much drama inside the group between each other. Never heard of the BCS one though, but I do remember you from TheCHAT. Axalon, is for statewide. Not area dependent. The whole reason is for people across state to come together instead of being just localized to one or two cities.

    sex stuff...? err.. it's been awhile since I set up a yahoo thing, but, I dunno how that could happen! what's your ID on the yahoo group?

    the reason I ask is acutally... I dunno, but some people I can't figure out who is who on the group so far.... BUT also, what if you set up an account with the same name as someone else????

    the chat on there is pretty neato btw.... you can do voice and crap! that's nice!

    NEMISIS PRIME SIGHTING

    I was just at the Walmart at IH 35 and Parmer Lane and saw 1 Nemisis Prime. Sorry, but I grabbed for my son. I would check the other Walmart around the area. He was only $9.99. I also went to the Toys R US and the SuperTarget and did not see him again. I will keep looking.

    Man, I was thinking of hitting the Walmart on IH 35 and Parmer also, when I hit the TRU and SuperTarget on Friday. But it was on the wrong side of the road coming home from ACC. That's just irony for ya. ;) 

    How's the toy TransMomma? We all know Supercon Prime is cool on his own, but how's the paint job look on him?

    I had no trouble signing into the Axalon_Group, Contessa. I don't know what sort of sex stuff you saw though. What did you do? Made a Yahoo account, put in your info, got all signed up and in then...the sex stuff popped up? Or the sex stuff popped up after you tried to join the Axalon group?

    And has anyone here been to Out of the Past in town yet? How's their selection and prices if you have?

    Nemisis Prime

    When I saw him I thought he looked so cool. He is dark blue/blackish grey and has a cream/white grill and smokestacks. Red front windows, headlights, and eyes. With a decepticon logo in his hood. He definitely looks nemesing. Next Friday on Cartoon network is the episode "Puppet", I read this is where Nemesis Prime first appears.

    :ev:  Just found Universe Inferno and Ratchet at Woodlands Walmart at 242 and I45. Not sure if they're supposed to be out since they wouldnt ring up at the register, so the manager gave me 3$ off each one so they totalled at 6.96 each! Nice haul tonight. Also got the repainted night attack military team and Predacon from Armada.
