    I don't travel on a weekly basis, so I don't buy the weekly or monthly metrocard. But if I do go out in one day to many places I buy the Fun Pass.

    Btw, I bought the 20th Anniversary Prime today at a gift shop over 23rd Street between 1st and 2nd Ave. across the McDonald's there for $80... no tax...kickass (my debit card = useless for now) :banghead: 

    If you guys need one, there is one left. Act nicely towards the man and he will just charge you straight up $80, no tax. :lol 

    I will post a pic later in Highs and Lows topic. :thumb

    Oh my gosh I found a bunch of Alternators Swerves and Decepticharges at Atlantic Ave Target! Then I wiped the eyecheese away, and realized it's just a bunch of Swindles and Windchargers. :p 

    Dekalb Ave TRU is starting to clear out their reissues. They have some el cheapo $3 Skywarps and $9 Dirges in the 30% off clearance rack near the registers. Thundercracker is $13.99 and Skids I think is $17.46. :thumbs2: 

    The Silverstreaks are still $20 and Richochet is still $35. :thumbdown 

    Surprisingly, the 3x Alternator Grimlocks are still there as well.

    Thanks for the Dekalb tip. I feel kind of bad, because I never buy multiples... but I bought all 5 Skywarps. I've got two friends, a coworker and a boss who ask me about Transformers all the time, and for $2.08 apiece I'm just going to give them each one for the hell of it. And I'll keep the last one for... I dunno, maybe one of our friends who comes over and marvels at my collection. Door prize! I also picked up one of the 3 Alt. Grimlocks, because my boss wants one (he'll pay me back for that). More prices after the green tag 30% off (approximate, from memory):

    Grapple: $4.98
    Smokescreen: $5.98
    Hoist: $6.98
    Inferno: $6.98
    Dirge: $7.98?
    Tracks: $8.94

    Dude he picked up all the Skywarps and only one Grimmy. Read carefully. :D 

    Also Times Square TRU had nothing new except they rearranged the TF a little bit.

    LIC TRU had 1 Grimmy, 1 Swindle, and 2x Ravages

    The National Wholesale Liquidaters next to the LIC TRU had Universe Prowl and Sideburn for $6.99 and some Built to Rule Thundercrackers for $3.99.

    Yeah, like I said, I never buy multiples of stuff. I just... couldn't pass up the Skywarps. I like the idea of just giving away G1 Transformers to people I know who remember them fondly.

    But Grimlock; I've had mine for months, my boss digs my Silverstreak I have at work, he loves Mustangs, and I offered to pick up a Grimmy if I found one. Just one. :)

    Where are you looking? I haven't seen Wheeljack and Shockblast in awhile. I don't think Decepticharge has hit retail yet.

    If anyone needs the old, old, old Energon Demolishor or Cyclonus KB Exclusives, the KB near me actually has a couple of each in stock for 12.99 each. It's the KB on Broadway and 88th St.

    If anyone wants me to head down and pick them up (if you can't make it) just PM me and let me know.

    I'll be there Friday and Saturday. I already set up my workday so I can leave at 1:30 Friday and walk the 6 blocks to the show. My wife will not be attending, as she'll be at the Dave Matthews show Saturday and doesn't give a crap about Transformers anyway.

    You should check out (and post in) the headcount thread.
