    Hero Headquarters in Westminster has a great inventory and selection and has a friendly and helpful staff. The Mile High Comics Megastore on Jason St. in Denver is a must see as well.

    Kind of off-topic and kind of on-topic. I received Jhiaxus from Amazon today. Ordered yesterday and received it today. Shipped from the Aurora warehouse.

    I am glad I don’t have to go out and spend gas and time looking for this figure.

    Amazon still has it in stock. If you can, get it. The figure is way better than what I expected.

    I've been to Jeff's but haven't heard of allCs. I'll have to check that out. There's also a neat little store on Wadsworth just north of US-285. I forget the name of it. It's directly beside Yummy's donut house. Neat little shop with a broad selection and good turnover on items.

    Also, does anyone hear know of someone who might be interested in some old GI Joe ARAH playsets/vehicles or some large DC Collectibles BTAS items? I'm going to be selling some soon, and I would definitely prefer local meetup rather than try to ship these monsters. Thanks :)

    Does anyone know what is going on with the toy drought in this state??? Feels like it's been months since anything new has surfaced while other states seem to be swimming in the new stuff. Wouldn't mind ordering online but that's getting tough to get anything as well.

    Talked to a Hasbro Rep in Loveland Target the other day. (Yes they still do exist!) She said we may see some new items when the reset is done at the end of the month. But yeah it seems we keep getting the short end of the straw in CO.

    I don't know, I feel like this has been the case for years. At least since I started collecting, last 4ish years.

    It's even worse with your neighbor to the north in Wyoming. Entire waves have missed this area, which have made it hard to collect Generations.

    I’m glad I moved out of that state when I had the chance. Don’t miss it one bit.

    TF collecting in store is easy compared to Star Wars. When was the last time you saw the Star Wars section have ANYTHING? That collecting group has been online only for the better part of two years now.

    i can usually find 99% of transformers at retail, but everything after the 1st wave is one sighting and gotta buy it then. star wars is damn hard in this state! when i found tvc new figures last week, i was ecstatic but there have been way too many waves that never once hit retail. i don't know if stores don't get the product or if it just disappears so fast. of course, nothing pissed me off more than the target exclusive blue xwing because i had 5 targets i shop at and none of them carried it and you couldn't order it online and the number of stores in the state carrying it was pathetic

    It's great for me, I only collect Landos I now have over 978 lando calrissian toys......

    Everyday I am glad I quit collecting and sold off Black series when I did, that is nothing but heartache and disappointment

    I think it's distribution and either devoted fans/scalpers I've seen the Star Wars section completely stocked in the morning and by the time I get some groceries and swing back by everything's gone

    Off topic slightly but I have a spare Jhiaxus and Galvatron in package though the packages have some damage. If anyone needs them just cost on both.

    also looking for some Energon figures if anyone has complete ones looking to sell

    If I recall, Jeff’s collectible empire had some energon figures, like Megatron, in box not too long ago. Might be worth taking a look into.
