    Meh, the past isn't as good as you think: Polio, Slavery, bad food, wool clothing, world 1 and sequel, etc. All round bad time really, 3 out 5 stars

    Okay everything else you listed is obviously horrid, but I won't stand for wool clothes being lumped in like that and besmirched! Wool rules school.

    Full legacy wave 1 at jungermann Walmart all sizes. With the exception of laser prime redo. He’s still there. Galvatron is not.

    Yup, thanks to @Sweep I was able to get that Galvatron. HUGE restock over there. A shit ton of Beast Wars reissues including 10x Scorponok. A lot of R.E.D. figures including Primal and Reformatted Megatron (no Knock Out or Ultra Magnus). All core class figures (Bumblebee Ravage and Shockwave, Legacy Repugnus, Skywarp, Hot Rod).

    Ya gotta try different wool blends, not all (or in my opinion, really any) blends are itchy. Wool is renewable, ecofriendly, and incredibly durable! You store wool right and it'll last a lifetime compared to cotton.

    Ugh, I was just there early Tuesday morning too. I can't ever get in and out of that store quickly due to knowing everyone since I used to work there back in the day.

    Its been a few years, but I remember a vendor like BBTS/EE (but neither of those) that carried everything at retail cost and were pushing Funko Pops out the butt to everyone who bought something from them. There was at least one person who was selling vintage bagged things and had a G1 Scorponok everyone was drooling over the same year. Vendors there are hit and miss due to the fluxuating booth prices by the con as one of my friends would tell me who usually had a booth at the con until they raised the price or didn't give him enough vendor passes for people working his booth. All this being said, sometimes you can find a good booth. In 2016 I found a guy selling boxes BW2 and BW Neo stuff and got the Diver & Niagra Falls set for pretty cheap.

    Saw Vintage Cybershark, but technically it was in Leavenworth, Kansas, so I've yet to see him in Missouri. Kansas Walmarts also have a ton of different RED figures.

    Florissant Walmart had one studio series Soundwave, a lot of sweeps, and plenty of studio series core figures. Florissant Target just had four Bulkheads and loads of legacy core figures.

    The bee studio series wave has been hard to find.

    You mean B-127/Kup/Cliffjumper? I've seen them occasionally, but I'm not always able to make a post. I have some free time in between dropping my parents off for appointments and picking them back up, but not necessarily a lot of time.

    Which ones are you looking for? I can try to keep an eye out.

    Oh, and if anyone can keep an eye out for something for me: I managed to find POP Vinyl Joe the Condor and Jun the Swan at two different Targets, but I am still looking for their leader, Ken the Eagle. (I have very little hope of Jinpei the Swallow or Ryu the Owl even being produced.)

    And before @quantumhawk makes a wisecrack: for those who don't know, these are characters from Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, which was first brought to America as Sandy Frank's Battle of the Planets (with Mark as the leader of Jason, Princess, Keyop, and Tiny). My collecting habits are not for the birds and I am not counting my chickens before they hatch.

    ...okay, QH, your turn.

    I don’t know what you mean. I certainly wasn’t already preparing a response and certainly didn’t sullenly grumble “never mind” to myself when I saw you mention my name.
