    You sure you are not thinking of SS Jetfire, which has still been showing up at Target lately?
    From all accounts I have seen people have been having them delivered from online orders or specialty shops, not major retailers have been stocking him

    As of 7am Friday morning, the Walmart in Valencia had one each of Siege Red Alert and Brunt on the pegs. The G1 Optimus Prime cab reissue has finally been reduced to $35—I bought one and there were two more left on the shelves. Good hunting!

    IMG_0617.JPG Oakland Target: 2 Hounds, 3 Red Alerts, 1 Brunt, 3 Springers, and 3 Starscreams. Springer wasn't in the system, so I took @Capirus's advice for Galaxy Prime and scanned one of the Starscreams at the checkout instead. Left 2 Springers and everything else on the shelf.

    Excellent. It's sad that we have to do this these days.

    Hey all. I’m preparing for a move to Northern CA soon and trying to figure out how to manage my large collection once I’m out there. I’m coming from a humid climate with ample storage and I know that at least on the storage side I will have a lot less at my disposal. So I know I have to pare down. I was just curious what any of you have done in a similar situation. I’m also curious if any of your have converted parts of your garage to manage storage at all and the effect that has had on your collection. I couldn’t do that here without causing damage but not as certain about Northern CA.

    I too came from a homie environment. It's a lot dryer out here. I'm not sure it has much effect on toys though.

    I used to have a climate control storage unit and that made a world of difference. But as I moved to my new house in Santa Maria from Ventura, I gained some space, but ended up having to convert a whole bedroom into an office/toy room with bigger closet for storage. Garages can be highly useful for storage as they tend to be drier climates, and have a lot of space (unless you want to park your car in there).
