    Hey! I am going to be in Greenville for the weekend. Anyone play Transformers TCG in the area?

    Greenwood Walmart had SS Scavenger and Shockwave. I bought shockwave but left all else.

    The shockwave mold is cool, but was disappointed with him- Hands and Sword are rubber with the sword being real flimsy and Wheelie/brains are super tiny!

    Dont know if anyone cares right now, but if you stop fr supplies at Simpsonville Walmart, they have SS Soundwave, WW2 hotrod and the Chromia/arcee/elita 3 pack.

    Stay Safe Everyone!

    Hey everyone. There's a good chance I may be moving to South Carolina in the next few months. Any recommendations on places to avoid or places to gravitate to? It's me, the wife, 2 kids, and 2 grandparents. Hit me up!

    Personally I’m very attached to the upstate, specifically the Greenville/ Spartanburg area. Lots of good people here but I haven’t really found a place that doesn’t have good people. I will say if you hate the heat you should probably avoid Columbia. It really is hotter than anywhere else in the state.

    Greenville/Spartanburg is actually the direction we're headed. Haven't heard anything but positives about that area.

    I'll second that, the upstate is nice.

    You'll want to stop by Toy Federation in Greer.
    They have quite the vintage and modern selection of Transformers and everything else.
    Prices range from low to high with a little wiggle room.

    Upstate is Good Times!

    I was out for supplies today and found Roadbuster, Soundwave and Jeep bee at Laurens Walmart. I bought the only Roadbuster I saw but left the rest.

    Stay Safe everyone!

    Eh... I moved here awhile back. It's ok. The roads suck, and I mean suck. They're poorly laid out and they aren't maintained worth shit. I don't have any major complaints. But I don't know if I'd pick this area over somewhere else. It also makes me nervous that so much of the local job force is tied up in the local BMW plant. If that place were to close then shit would probably get real grim around here real quick. I'd probably choose Raleigh over this area if I could. There's nothing that really makes the area stand out to me.

    To be fair, I think that’s a problem for most of South Carolina. Saw much of the same when I lived in Columbia.

    Not much around Laurens. There is a Mixmaster at laurens Walmart but most of what else they have has been shelf warming since Christmas. Havent really traveled much outside of Laurens lately.

    I checked the Greenville and Taylors targets this weekend but nothing new that wasn’t already there for awhile, except maybe a couple new lower end cyberverse figures. Same for the Greenville Pelham rd Walmart.

    Trying to stay safe. We have been busy on the ambulance, but thankfully not much to worry about yet.
    A little disappointed in wally world for nothing new yet. But might have to go up to target and best buy to see what they got now that they are easing up the restrictions.

    Dropped by Spartanburg Target yesterday. They had an earthrise hoist and ironworks as well as a few primes and astrotrains.
