    Hi fellow members from Hawaii:

    A friend of mine is going to travel to Hawaii in a few weeks and he would like to visit good shops for Transformers and other vintage 70's / 80's toys.

    From the few information I could gather myself there are:
    - Collectors maniac
    - Glen’s Collectibles
    - Toy Conquest

    How are these? If there are any other retailers that you can recommend me I would appreciate it a lot, thank you!

    Target in Kahului has several Shadow Panthers and a few Sharkticons. No signs of Draculus. I picked up the only Waspinator as a souvenir of my time on Maui.

    Has anyone had any luck finding a Minerva recently? I'm assuming it's a very slim chance.

    Hello new user here, does Hawaii get everything last? Like if I wanted the upcoming core Grimlock, Nemesis Prime and Thundercracker and they were would I have better chance to order it online on BBTS, Amazon, eBay or TFSource rather than wait for it to be available to pick up in a store?

    I'm just asking because lately I haven't noticed any new stocks of even Legacy Evolution wave 1 core classes in Walmart or Target in Kapolei, Kunia, or Pearl City. Everytime I went the Transformers section would usually be empty or have the last Legacy wave figures so I wouldn't even know when to check for new stock.

    There's really no winning in Hawaii. Sometimes you'll get lucky but most of the time stuff does seem to get here late. I've ordered most of my stuff online since I've been here, which kind of sucks with how much you usually have to pay for shipping to get stuff here, but more often than not it's better than waiting around for something that may never come.

    Amazon is probably the best way to go if you already have Prime and can get what you want before it sells out on Amazon directly. However, I've had multiple instances of items from the LA warehouse (where most of your things will ship from) being opened and looted before they're shipped. Amazon let me exchange without much hassle each time but it's still infuriating. So like I said, there's really no winning either way.

    Thanks for the reply, I know what you mean about seeing old waves currently in stores and that's terrible about what happened with your stolen items I've never really thought something like that could happen. I knew it would be a waste of time, I even hate when I know something is stocked at Target but I don't see it from their website like the 4 Iguanus figures don't even show up just the NEST Ratchet or Bonecrusher. Well now ik to never look for or expect new figures in Hawaii.

    Walmart (Lihue) SS ROTB Arcee, Airrazor and a few others. Earthspark Nightshade and a few others, all as if Wednesday 3/20.
    Target (Lihue) nothing of note, or memorable Thursday 3/21.
    Ross (Kapaa) I didn’t see anything, but maybe cuz I was in and out since the AC was out. Also Thursday 3/21.
