    Hot Comics is giving away a Cullen and a Welker signature on an item of your choice! You really don't want to miss an opportunity like that! Hope to see a lot of you there.

    PS - There will be a closed off VIP area for us TFW folks.

    Hot Comics will be seeing the voice actors at an upcoming con and have already scheduled autographs. The contest winners will be able to provide any item to Hot Comics for them to bring it to the Con to be signed by Cullen and Welker. After the signature are acquired, the item will be mailed to you.

    Sounds good.

    So, what TF's and other collectible would you guys like me to bring up with me next week? I am currently sitting on over 1,600 Transformers in the shop and I can't bring them all with me. So I will focus on what you guys tell me you'd like to see.

    As far as other collectibles go, we have large selections of Super Hero figures, Star Wars figures, Sci-Fi toys, Magic cards, Manga, and much, much more.

    That all posted, I will be bringing my parts boxes again if anyone is looking for TF parts to complete a figure, I will also be looking to buy TFs (or trade) if anyone wants to bring their stuff for me to look at.

    Hey guys.

    I thought I'd throw a request on here for one of my customers. He's looking for Cybertron figures including a leader class Optimus Prime. If anyone has some of these toys and would like to make a few bucks or get a good trade, bring them with you and help me help a fellow fan out.

    Thanks and see you there Sat.

    Hiro

    Just a dumb question here, but is anyone planning to go to tomorrow's meet-up? I ask because there's been hardly any posts in this thread for the last week.

    I'm still planning to come up, but I will admit to being a little worried if I'll see many of you guys there.

    ^ Looks like it'll be a good showing, everyone has been posting in the MN sighting thread about it when they do.

    I am going and I will have some stuff to sell. Anyone interested in:
    Hercules with rage kit
    FP Bruticus
    FP Superion
    FP Menasor
    CW Superion with white PE kit
    FP Insecticons (not KO's)

    If so I can bring them along tomorrow. The boxes are in storage but I can get them fairly easily if you want them along with the figs.

    Hey, guys.

    I'm gonna be coming up to the Twin Cities this Sunday to meet up with G1jetfire. Since I'm making the trip anyways, I thought I'd ask if any of you guys were looking for figures that I could bring up with me. If so, I'd like to invite you to meet with us at the Burnsville TRU at 2:00 pm.

    Just think of it as an unexpected opportunity to pick up a figure or two that you'd normally have to wait for a regular meet-up to get. Or, just stop by to say hi and wish an old toy collector a happy 45th. B-day.

    So if you can stop by and you're looking for a few figs, let me know here, or drop me a PM. But hurry, Sunday will be here real quick.

    Sadly I won't be there, because I'll be in Iowa Sunday. I might be able to stop into your shop Saturday, but won't have much time to spend there.

    Edit: yeah, it is literally on my path, so I will stop in for a bit.
