    A Lil toy reset @Walmart of Bella Terra. Multiple Tracks were available yesterday around 6 pm

    I regret I didn't buy cartoon and movie Neca 2 pack Turtles over the past months, I saw multiple times in WM and Target but I has other priorities......now I have those in mind and I want them, prices are ungodly high...

    On the Houston Flea Markets, I used to go to the Antique mall on I10 near the Beltway, and also to Traders Village, but I haven't since way before Covid became a thing...are those places worth a visit nowadays?

    I stopped going to the Grand Prairie Trader's Village years ago for a few reasons.

    -They kept raising the entrance fee, so if you did find something good it probably wouldn't be worth it in the end.
    -It became much harder to find good toys and parts because more and more collectors started coming in and combing the place. I don't blame them, it just dried the well up between all of us.
    -People became more and more desperate with their prices on things you did find. You'd often see something stripped down that you might want a part from, but they'd want $10 for the thing because "It's a transformer."
    -3D printing replaced a lot of my customization needs.

    I really do miss doing weekend mornings out there but it got to the point where I kept leaving dirty but empty-handed and out $5 for parking.

    That’s funny. I was wondering if you were part of this group. I had just made the turn into the aisle when I saw you putting them in your basket. I made the mistake and stopped at another store before I went there.

    Oh well, to the Victor go the spoils!:D

    Hey everyone! I have 2 questions. As anyone seen any Wave 4 deluxes near Grayson County? I’d appreciate it if you have. Also, does anyone know the K numbers for Waspinator and Shadow Panther. Thanks

    Clearly Hasbro heard our calls to produce more Classified figs. #'s 16, 17 & 19 are showing up everywhere as I'm sure y'all have seen.
