    ^Yup, all about the 3rd party stuff. The legit TF's just, well, suck lately. So most my money has been going to 3rd parties. Except the MP's. I am really liking the MP's. My only question is how the hell does the 3rd part paint apps come out so clean yet the TT MP's lambo's look like crap? It boggles the mind.

    If it's the one off Valley Creek and Weir - it's pretty lame. Mostly comic books and Star Wars toys. Stillwater HW guy is behind it i think...I wouldn't mind actually getting a table there sometime and see what happen$ though.

    If anyone that has grabbed the FOC Cassette packs does not want the purple box things, I could use a couple. Fair price etc :D

    Ridgedale TRU has Prime Dreadwing... @ $29.99 POWERIZERRRRZZZZzzz. :(  I always wanted Dreadwing.

    $29.99?

    And of course, 3 $24 Prime Bulkheads - about 20 GDO Megs and a grand total of 0 Soundblasters/Soundwaves from the FOC line.

    Also, has anyone checked out the Beast Hunters figures? From what reviews I've seen, they're not half as bad as people have thought them to be - I'm currently digging me a Soundwave.

    As the resident "will get anything regardless of quality" TFP collector, I gotta say i REALLY like the Beast Hunters line so far, if Wheeljack and Lazerback are anything to go by. They have some issues(not pegging in decently for beast mode head for Lazerback, some kibblywings for Jackie) but definitely satisfying purchases.

    I put in a preorder for BH Smokescreen now that we know the BH crap can come off. I may bite on that big Predaking if I like what I see, also a Voyager Hardshell would be awesome. Not interested in anything else in the BH line

    Minnetonka TRU had 2x BH Wheeljack, 2x BH Bumblebee and 1x BH Lazerback. Also 2x FoC voyager Soundwave. I can't get myself to buy any BH figs until Smokescreen comes out since he's finally getting the new mold he deserves.

    MW TRU has a bunch of wave 1 BH Prime Deluxes, 2 FOC Soundwaves.

    Oakdale Target has nothing of interest.

    There's been some talk over the years with a "third party" Battle Beasts line(canceled), and a Diamond Select line(so far just promotional figurines). There is a comic currently, though!

    Had to go appliance shopping thanks to my 3 year old upright freezer dying. :mad  Maplewood TRU was pretty much as Kham described it yesterday, other than there is only one FoC Soundwave now and he was up top when I was there.
