    Noho Target has the Seeker 3-Pack. In fact, a lot of area stores seem to have stocked them. Must’ve been holding them back until that TF promotion ended.

    Can anyone help?

    Just moved to LA yesterday, want to buy an MP44. What’s the name of the dealer with all the Japanese imports at Frank & Sons? It’s a long way off and want to check if they have it first.

    If I'm thinking who you are asking about, it should be Toy Arena. They have a great selection at Frank & Sons, which reminds me, I need to get back out there to see what they have these days...

    Hey, welcome to LA! Yeah like @maveric002 said it's Toy Arena. Toy-Zilla in Alhambra may also have it (call first). And if you want an even further drive to Fountain Valley, Cape and Cowls will be getting it in (but not sure when).

    Toy Arena was what I was thinking of as well. However last time I was there, there is also My D Pins & Collectibles at Frank and Son. They also have a store in Anaheim you might want to check out.

    Huh, I kept hearing here that My D Pins limited their TF collection and/or shut down, that's why I didn't list them. Guess those people were wrong.

    Birdcage Target in Citrus Heights has the Siege Seeker Multipack and the Micromaster Multipack, but not a heck of a lot else.

    Hi guys, I don't know if this is the right place to share this; but I'm selling a lot of TFs (generations, studio series, etc.) on my OfferUp for, I hope, decent prices, if anyone wants to check it out.

    Those are some great prices! It's too bad I already own every single one of the ones you have listed, otherwise I would pick up a bunch from you.
