    Ahead of Frankiecon, is there anything anyone is looking for?

    I realized too late I should have grabbed that Hun-Gurr and Elita I saw the other day. I'll add Inferno to that list if I see him. Don't mind being a mule.

    Meanwhile, if you've got Combiner stuff, I may be interested. Looking especially for affordable Ironhide, Silverbolt, and Prowl. Bonus points if you've got accessories I can use to finish the Magnaboss (CW Computron's hands and feet, Victorion's sword)

    Also would be looking for accessories I could use for Abominus, as well as Elita-1, Inferno, and Starscream's combined modes.

    Edina Target off York had 1 potp Bludgeon, 1 potp Submarauder (is that his name? Whatever, fish guy from wave 2). Left both because I had ordered wave 3 from HTS.
    They also had 2 Cindersaurs, but I passed on both. Waiting until after SDCC exclusives drop to grab anything.

    Looks like my Repugnus just got billed on Amazon, too, so I imagine we'll see them in a few days.

    when, where is frankiecon? also I too would be up for a more informal meetup.

    I've been collecting mostly potp stuff lately but some of the other new bots look good.

    also I forgot, and it isn't tf related but action figures, I saw a tonof 8inch Mego figures and a handful of14 inch ones at the sane target.

    all kinds of8inch ones. I picked up a couple ost star trek and Jimi hendrix.

    I'll haveto get another time the married with children peg. must be a big relaunch of that brand.

    i have seenthe retro figures at comic shops but these are awesome to me

    Blast Off and Repugnus arrived today in the same box. Pretty impressed with both figures. I much prefer Repugnus with the earlier TR head.

    I also got a KO G1 Sunstreaker from China. Repro packaging was pretty banged up, but the figure is pretty good quality. All in all a successful day.

    I'm looking at getting rid of a few things, mostly Combiner Wars and Alternators. All loose. I wanted to give you all a heads up first, otherwise I'm going to take it all in to Hot Comics. I can bring things to Frankiecon Saturday if anyone is interested.

    Here is what I've got.

    I mostly guessed on prices. PM if anything piques your interest.

    Hot Comics tend to give the best price around? Or just the place you tend to go to? Might want to offload some stuff eventually and wondering where to get the best price (outside offering it to individuals here of course).

    I'm strictly going on convenience. I've done ebay before, but I don't want to deal with that since nothing in this batch is particularly rare or valuable.

    Got Repug and wave 3 PM's in the mail today. I like repug a lot but his bottom jaw just doesn't peg into his head well, so he always looks like he just had a stroke. That said, I still think they could have done better with the legs, but overall he's a great figure and it's good to have all the Monsterbots.

    The PM's... are more PM's. XD

    So who's all going to be at Frankiecon on Saturday?

    I'll be there probably early since my job is over in Saint Louis Park and I'm off at 9:30. Maybe I'll get a bite to eat at Fat Nat's while waiting. LOL

    Champlin Target had multiple Cindersaurs and Outbacks today.

    Grabbed an Outback. He wouldn't ring up, so I had to wait for a CSM to come up. He input a DPCI, and told the lady ringing me up the price was $3.08. Score.
