    Going tonight. That ROTB Endcap in edina is still there, as is the 1 Dragon Megs, but nothing else all that interesting on the cap or the aisle.

    Was hoping to get to an AMC for that giant-ass Prime bucket with the drinking straw smoke stacks but odds are more likely I'll sneak in to a later showing this weekend once the kids are asleep.

    I picked up Robot Paradise (secretly Fans Toys?) Acousticwave recently and I think he's pretty awesome! I dunno if I like him more than the MP or not, but they both have their advantages. Hopefully I can find the tapes for a decent price soon too, because I'm always down for more Soundwave stuff.

    To anyone who owns him - is there any way to keep the extra side panels for the legs attached during transformation? I feel like they look good in robot mode, but there's nowhere to store them in casette mode mentioned in the directions, Unless I'm missing it.

    Just got back from ROTB. Stopped by Hidden Walmart, but all they had was like 10 mainline rhinoxes. (and like 5 re-release starscreams).
    Found the Ashoka jedi star fighter chase ship for my brother from that microfighter line tho.

    New sealed in box
    Never opened

    I bought an additional one for when he was old enough and another for me in case I wanted/needed it.
    Unfortunately, the line of work I am in has taken a sharp decline and pay and now I need to consolidate.

    send me a message if interested- would like $1000 but willing to negotiate.
    We can meet at a safe place in Minneapolis.

    Edit:
    I also have a complete set of G.I Joe classified (all MISB) that I am needing to part with.

    a Blitzway Voltron MISB $700

    and a Bumblebee Go Cart $200


    Still pricing things out but would be happy to hear best offers.

    Hello, just throwing out some feelers for anyone who may be selling a RED Optimus Prime.

    ---

    Don't think it's out yet. But I'll absolutely take one as well.

    Everyone probably has one already but the Walgreens in the Skyway downtown has at least 3 Minervas.

    Also the Target downtown has a Swoop and a Scarr. Didn’t really see anything else noteworthy.

    Saw one Tarn at Edina Target on their ROTB endcap last night (well, and a bunch of other stuff but Tarn is the interesting part)

    Will definitely check this one out as well… Thought it might be cool to get a group of us together and get a couple tables outside in July. We could call the TFW 2005 table.
