ive heard of several flea markets I have yet to go to one, I usually always find TF when I go to flea markets usually without acc. and stuff. but I will have to check it out this weekend if my mom comes to visit she loves flea markets!! Yeah Yeah I admit Im a packrat too. Okay well if I go I will post what I see out there. I know of an indoor flea market somewhere on Lamar, this guy who sells toys told me about it, I will have to check that out too.
I was planning on going this past weekend, but I totally forgot to go. This make me mad because I'll be out of town for the next two weekends. Here's some info on the Austin one; Apparently it's pretty good if the Travel Channel ranked it #8 in the world. http://travel.discovery.com/fansites/worldsbest/fleamarket/fleamarket8.html
Thanks Starswipe, I was just looking for more info on where the location is. I know of that huge one in Wimberly, that everyone in Texas talks about it's only on the first weekend of every month though, but thanks again I will go and check it out see what I find!!
Austin G1 shops Does anyone know of stores in Austin that sell old Transformers. I've been to Hogwild and Funny Papers, but I wanted to know if there are other shops in the area.
nope but I have never been to the two places you mentioned what kind of things do they carrry? That one place Momoko's had some old TF's but in boxes they were of course imports but like BW stuff. How old of TF's are you looking for?
Hogwild carries a bunch of G1 stuff. Some are really overpriced but others aren't that bad. I got a complete Thrust for $35. Funny Papers also carry G1 toys. The section is a lot smaller but the prices are decent. I bought a complete Blitzwing for $25 and a Takara Reissue Rodimus Prome for $35. I'm just looking for some G1 (84-86) action figures. I was just wonder if there are other stores in town.
Thanks I will have to check out those places but I dont know of much here in the area, Ive only lived here in ausitn for 2 years and i kind of keep to my self..... What I learn is from you guys!! and people that I use to work with.
BOO YA!! First to see it here in texas (methinks)!!! At the Target on payton gin I just found air razor and hoist!! WHOO HOO!! they were the only ones there.... DOH! which means some bastard got my wheeljack.....
Hey! Payton Gin Target finally getting shown some love! Be going by soon to check all that out. I wanted to ask you guys if you see the original Star Saber team pack out. I've seen all the other early wave minicons on the shelves, and kinda want to pick up another Air Defense set. Most appreciated.
WAIt wait!! there's nothing left!! I should've posted that!! DOH! I got the last of each of them :redface
thanks on my way out to target on north 183. Big truk convoy will be so HAPPY!!! were on our magic carpet out the door!!
I picked up Airazor, Hoist, Wheeljack, Rhinox, and Terrorsaur earlier this afternoon at the Wal-mart in Mesquite. They have all but Airazor left.
Well crap, I went to two targets and two walmarts in Austin and Round Rock and they had everything but Wheel Jack and Hoist. They all had PL prime and 3rd issue of supercon Prime and all the TFU deluxe figures but no freaking Wheel Jack or Hoist!!! AAAAAHHHHH I hate this, I need them now!
at Target at 290 and mopac I picked up Wheeljack, Rhinox & Hoist. Got the last ones. They also had airrazor and terrorsaur. Got the last hoist and wheeljack but I went across the way to wal-mart and they have them all over there.
Alright Got the last wheel Jack and Hoist! Very cool and Big figures! Thanks Jason. I can die in peace now.
