    I said I'm bringing mine. I actually haven't opened mine yet though. LOL. I got him with the rest of everyone's loot yesterday.

    Besides personal interest in the figure is 260 for a Botcon 2016 Megatron (new sealed) a good price? I understand at con he was 90 but some of the other prices I have heard and seen on ebay ouch

    Nice meetup of the regulars today. We definitely need to try to inject some new blood like @Predaking EX in future ones!

    Next meetup is going to be in the Fairfax area but date is TBD. Probably in March I would imagine.

    Agabyss.com is my go to place for all third-party and Takara products. Great prices, and super fast shipping, none of that waiting a couple days for your order to ship out. They have great custumer service as well, always friendly and very helpful!

    Has anyone had any luck seeing or finding G1 reissues in the wild and if so, what stores?

    Never saw devy or starscream but I’ve seen all others at Dulles landing. That’s the only Walmart I regularly check.

    Only when they first came out... Dulles landing and Dulles town center one. Never found bumblebee tho

    Stories of deep cut clearance etc in other parts of the country are fantasy here...

    Well not completely true. I got two hot rods the other day from Haymarket for $7 each. I saw Dulles landing discount the minibots last month to like $8 (not much of a discount).

    I don’t see any $19 devy or super cheap OP though.

    Were you able to see them online first or just brute force checked?

    Spending hours repeatedly for toys I don't really need is where I try to draw the line... tho I admit I have spent at least 4 loops on the g1 toys :(

    I typically use brickseek which is often very wrong. But it’s better than blind searching. The haymarket find I saw it said 6 available but I only saw 2 in the clearance aisle. Once things go on clearance folks won’t be able to direct you to where the inventory is.

    Last I checked brickseek said Dulles landing has devy but I’ve never even seen them there.

    Only sold at Walmart store. I have not seen Devastator or starscream in months in my travels. Have seen reports of them on clearance and did score a hotrods on clearance for 6.00 in N.C. Only ones I have seen in store lately is tailgate, outback and swerve. Everyone is buying up bumblebee

    The reissues are only at Walmart. I’ve never seen Devy or Starscream but have seen all the rest. You should check the sightings thread instead of here though. One local found several Hot Rods the other day.

    I have found Hot Rod several times, but I never saw the Bumblebee...and that is the one I really wanted. I would have loved to find one of those discount Devys too.

    Does anyone have the Transformers Card Game SDCC 2018 booster pack they might part with? None are on ebay at the moment.

    The only reissues I have not seen and purchased are Seaspray and Warpath.
