    Dude is a notorious scalper, he and his buddies wipe out local store shelves of high demand items which end up in his store for jacked up prices. Did you notice the $95 SS Grindor?

    There is a lot of cool stuff in that video. I feel bad for anyone who lives in that area though. He is an obvious scalper, and I'm sure he's cleaning out the local stores. The NECA TMNT stuff alone makes me want to say or do not nice things to him.

    LOL I saw the Grindor, but couldn't see the price sticker. I'm not shocked by the 95 price tag.

    I was in there today and they had a nice selection of stuff, but 350 for the Fansproject Menasor was laughably high

    Yes, I know he is a scalper, but toy meister is doing the same thing. All toy meisters recently new stuff is not sold to him by collectors. I do not live in Virginia Beach area. I will say he doesn’t only buy from his area but today he wasn’t in the store. I was told he was in Maryland because he was buying figures up there from a buddy. I don’t know how true it is. Yes, his prices are higher on somethings. I was tempted to get core class soundwave for $15 but I didn’t get him. I feel like he is the store you go to for last resort.

    ^The prices on the older figures seemed OK. I picked up a couple of TF Prime figures and the prices were fair.

    I have really enjoyed your videos. I hope you keep up the reviews. I definitely meant no offense to you personally with my scalper comment.

    Keep it up. You'll get there. I may hit up this place, I saw a few things im interested in plus theres a few figures from past lines i really wanted but missed out on so always on the look out for them.

    Btw anyone know what the blaster in the zip lock bag is? It was in the glass case with the mp primes(were those mp 10s) 1:50 mark if that helps.

    Picked up RED Bumblebee and Starscream from the Burke Walmart this afternoon; left none. Every Target in the area is a barren wasteland for Transformers. Most have maybe 4 pieces of random old stuff at best.

    Nothing special to report at Target in Seven Corners, Skyline, or Mosaic (as of about 4pm).
