    Relatively new to TFW. Do you guys have CT meet ups to hang out in CT?
    I always thought it would be cool to connect with fans in real life. Is there any interest?

    Went to Ollie's in Manchester today. Talked to an employee who said someone called and picked up all the remaining stock of Fort Max. Hopefully no one in the Manchester area is trying to scalp these!! Keep CT collecting fun please!!!

    I second the meet-up question! I've been lurking this sub for years, and other than close friends, I've never tried to meet any other collectors in the area!

    This is bumming me out so much. I feel like this must have happened with all the metroplex people were finding at Costco a few years back. They're probably the same ones going for 300+ dollars on amazon now from private sellers. Ugh. People suck.
