    Just note if you do go to Frank N Sons and your vice is only Transformers, you won't be seeing much, as very few vendors sell them, and if they do it is mostly for inflated prices. Now if you are into Funko Pops as well, well you are going to have a wet dream like nobody's business

    Toy Arena is pretty great. And their prices are much different from retail. If you’re after current lines, selects, masterpiece, they have all that stuff and a ton of 3p if that’s your thing.

    ToyArena is one of the vendors but they try and keep that Ebay edge on pricing even with newer items, nowhere near retail. It is nice that they have a cash price and a credit card price though to save money.

    Studio Series Arcee and Ironhide. 1 of each still on shelf at Irvine Spectrum Target. *Note: NONE of them scan(including wheeljacko_O  and preceptor). Target does that once awhile. You can use the price tag or try you luck with the staff.

    Micro Machines 07 Movie 4-pk

    Found at the Target in Cypress this morning. Been wanting him for a while, buy couldn't justify him at $23. $11.49 is a steal though! Only one was stickered, but the upc scanned so check at the scanner, it may be on clearance at other stores as well!
