    I know that store!

    Yeah, great place for food. Take your pick. Don't like a place? Keep trying. The few places I visit for toys are the shop he mentioned above, Little Surprises, which is also inside of HK Mall not very far from that other shop actually. And fit, a japanese goods store. Though they mostly sell household goods, they do carry gundam kits.

    Sometimes I forget Old Chinatown is still a thing.

    The South DFW area has been dry as a bone lately. Nothing but movie figures and RID shelf-warmers.

    Its the same in North DFW. At least here North of Fort Worth.

    What the hell does that mean? huh? China is here, I don't even know what the hell that means, all I know is this "Lo Pan" character comes out of thin air in the middle of a goddamn alley while his buddies are flying around on wires cutting everybody to shreds, and he just stands there waiting for me to drive my truck straight through him, with light coming out of his mouth!

    I believe Greenville Wal-Mart got the lion's share of fembots, there are like 4 each at least of Arcee, Chromia and Windblade. No CW figures though.

    TRU in the woodlands had some new rid cartoon figures: bb, grimmy, prowl I think and a decepticon. Not much of anything else. This was as of yesterday after lunch. Walmart in Spring had 3 gens voyager whirls and not much of nothing else.

    Yesterday I went to Tyler and checked the Toys r us there. Only saw Rid stuff and Rattraps. Then I went to the Walmart there on Broadway next to the Target and found Arcee and Chromia. There were about 8 of each of them minus the one Chromia I took. Also there were Nightbeats and Waspinator. Now time to look for CWs.

    I know all of those places you mentioned! Although Fit has kind of cut down on how much Gundam stuff they are selling..
    They used to sell figure stands for pretty cheap and now i'm sitting here kicking myself in the rear because they don't have them anymore!
    Little Surprises merged with the CD store next door (or may have been bought out?) So their KO transformer selection has suffered a bit (actually have little to none and have these weird Chinese TV show toys, a bunch of combining dragons with no robot modes just the different dragon modes (Chinese dragons albeit). I remember buying that Super Thomas KO and the Brave Advenger KO there for fairly cheap. I think one of my favorite finds actually at the store with the RID trains was my WST Fortress Maximus Complete with the headmaster function still! (albeit the "headmaster" is a brick of the head mode, but that little detail included still gets me!)


    I've always gone to Chinatown even as a kid and it never grows old.

    Got a platinum silver knight op from 1st colony target for $17.98. Been skipping out on him because I felt the price was too high but this was definitely low enough.

    Fit had a bunch of KO anime figures a while back which I thought was funny. Seems they don't sell much of those either nowadays. I wished they had carried other toys as well although preferably not bootleg.

    If any one can help me find a Platinum silver knight OP at this price or around it, I would appreciate it. None of the Targets I've visited have had him on clearance or have been out of stock.

    Stopped by the Wal-Mart on the Frisco/Little Elm border, and of course the Transformers section was blasted out, EXCEPT, there was one lone Dragstrip sitting on the pegs, so it seems Wal-Mart is getting into the Combiner Wars fray, the more the merrier.

    I think there was a kiosk at the 99 Ranch Market on i10 that had some random transforming robots as well. It may have been H-Mart. It's been a while.

    that was a couple of hours ago, they should be if no one got them, because as much I think I might have liked Dragstrip - didn't get it so good luck.
