Man, I'd like to get SunSurge (aka MP Sunstreaker), but he doesn't seem available anywhere as of late. BBTS has him listed as preorder...and I don't recall him ever being anything BUT that there.
Thanks Man! Im in talks with a established decal shop...might do something with him.. Wage plus commission or sub contractor arrangement.. Should have things figured out in a month or so..
Pretty sure I plan to go to the meetup...anyone looking for any of the following: Takara MP Prowl (open but like new) - $50 Takara MP Bluestreak (open but like new) - $50 Takara MP Bumblebee (MISB) - $50 Hasbro MP Grimlock (2nd release MISB) - $85 Takara MP-06 Skywarp (open but like new- stickers not applied) - $85 DX9 Chigurh (open in box) - $100 Microblaze Onsluaght set (open to check for obvious QC issues, never TF'ed) along with MISB Platinum Bruticus vs Grimlock - $150 That's what I can think of off the top of my head...will have to check and see what else I have on the chopping block.
How good is this site? Never really heard of them before. (Mainly cause I hardly ship anything from any place other than BBTS lately.)
I think them and ToyDojo are probably the best small US retailers. They get orders out quick and are receptive to dealing with any issues. They also offer free shipping on orders over $150. I might do more business with them if they had a DIY preorder canceling system. That feature is just too convenient with BBTS. I preorder everything I'm interested in and weed them out as more info becomes available. I think both TCP and TD allow cancellations, but you have to email and wait for responses...so I'd rather just have the no hassle/no guilt option of doing so that BBTS offers.
I wouldn't link you to a place I wouldn't buy from myself. There's also Captured Prey but I didn't check their stock.
CP is out. I've heard good things about TCP, but I'm basically in the same camp as kibble. I'd rather be able to control than to have to email if I want to change things. Ain't nobody got time for that.
So I want to thank Gregory (TFWAutobotProwl) and his friend Erik for offering to share their room with me at Botcon. Unfortunately my tax return had some bad news and just like that it looks like I'm out. The money I had been putting away for a potential Botcon or Poseidon run has to go to Uncle Sam. Thankfully we got the news before I had registered with the Con. ' Bummed I'll miss out on Predacus, the Beast Wars Anny, and a chance to be in the room if/when they reveal more new Combiner teams. I really want to believe this is the year we finally hear about Piranacon. I'll keep my fingers crossed the bottom falls out of the market like it did for the 2013 Machine Wars set. This one does seem to be pretty controversial. And regardless of what may or may not be happening with FunPub, hopefully there's something next year that I may be able to try again. See you guys for sure on Saturday for some pizza and whatevs.
Ugh, I've been wanting this. Sucks that I'm low on funds after Christmas. Maybe you'll still have it for the next meetup.
Has anyone seen Combaticon limbs in the West Metro (Shakopee, Eden Prairie, Chanhassen) area in last couple of days? I'm missing Vortex and Brawl and haven't had much luck finding them as of late.
Are you coming to the Meet-up this Saturday? I think there is still a set of Combaticons at Eagan Target. If there is, I can grab them on my way home if you message me before 4pm-ish. Then I can just bring them Saturday for you.
Anyone own this TRU Platinum Soundwave and what do you think of him? Transformers Platinum Edition Soundwave Figure - Hasbro - Toys "R" Us
Not as cool as MP Soundblaster...which hey, I just remembered I have him for sale. Like new, never even been transformed. Complete. $130 Which reminds me I also am willing to unload MP Star Saber for $140. Also complete.
