    Best bet is to either try Kohls in the area or Walgreens, K-Marts are dry and nothing else has gotten them in yet,

    yeah it used to suck finding shit at the stores, but now due to the wonders of online I can just get whatever I want (pending they make it in my size).

    charcoal really had my on the edge about getting a pair, especially since they're clearanced most places now. still something about that window just won't let me get them, lol.

    My parent's bought me a pair of 6's for one of my birthdays as a kid. Typical kid I trashed them in about a year but they were always my favorite pair of shoes. I didn't even know about jordan retros until about a year and a half ago when one of my buddies mentioned the 6's were going to be re-released. So that kinda fueled the fire and I started picking up stuff I had missed out on. Sucks I waited so long to get back into it, but I suppose it's better this way since I know how to take care of my shit now :)

    Is this Drew Eiden? Did you move to Chicago? I bought a Botcon Alpha Trion and Weirdwolf from you in 07. I have 2 extra Tracks and 1 Jazz from Walgreens. Never been to a AJ Wright store before until last night. They have a ton of older Tformers. Animated voyagers are $12.99. They have Grimlock, Lugnut, Skywarp, etc. Also rotf nest deluxes for $8 like Ratchet and Sideswipe. Walmart exclusive Skyfall and Powerglide for $15. Also Kmart Nebular SS for $15. Plenty of ROTF laptops and a couple pinballs too! This is the one on Cumberland and Belmont.

    Yeah I ended up moving out here. Lovin' it. I'm going to go hunting around the area but if I can't find them would you be willing to sell your extras?

    They all have been, no? Are these any worse than the usual crap? I have accumulated quite a few of these over the years from extended family members and my gf's sister since they know I like TFs, but I don't even open them since they are usually such utter craptitude.

    Sure. Give me a call 847-878-3523. I'm going to be in the city probably all day. You need to come out to our next local meetup. I don't know how much your going to like Chicago when the snow and the sub zero temperatures hit!

    Ehh the Animated ones that transformed were alright. These ones don't even transform, I got a shitty ROTF Starscream that will shoot cardboard disks from behind his head.

    i dont think TRU does clearance too often. last years unicron from universe stay full price for 50 bucks then they disappeared.
    it's an expensive path, careful!

    i love me some clear figs myself, but the price is crazy, even crazier are BBTS and tfsource prices. 60 bucks on top of that.

    very nice, i need a set.

    just looked it up, very nice!

    LMAO, i have starscream and BB

    yep lol

    welcome
    i might be in the neighborhood today and will probably pick up cliffjumper. i need to get a hat for my girl.

    heading to detroit for a bears win tomorrow.
