    I am super pissed off. I was at the White Plains ToysRUs today because I was working near that store today. I went there and found a Trypticon and I bought it. I just got home and opened it up and somebody repacked it with a Fortress Maximus. Fucking asshole!

    That's BS dude. Sorry that happened. Maybe the person was stupid and used a TRU rewards card or something they can track? I once returned Masterpiece Bumblebee still single taped sealed and they literally ripped the box wide open to check it. I can't believe they didn't check a return for a $150 toy.

    I would avoid Manhattan. There isn't even a full TRU there anymore. There are a few Walgreens and a lot of Duane Reade stores (subsidiary of Walgreens). They are pharmacies that sell toys, so not great. If you're able to, try the outer boroughs. There is a Target in Brooklyn that is easy enough from Manhattan. Feel free to pm me with questions.

    Fyi-forbidden planet just put a ton of transformers on their website. Mostly combiner wars. But non scalper prices if there are certain figures you guys are looking for. Leader g1 megs and Jetfire. Also cosmos and sea spray for anyone who is looking.

    Not trying to advertise for them. Sorry if came across that way!

    Forbidden planet had all the wave 5 deluxes in stock at $19.99. Grabbed a windblade, misfire and twintwist. If you guys want to grab them give them a call and they can hold it for you if you're picking up the same day.

    Thanks. Picked up MP Prime this morning. The Amherst TRU didn't have anything new except some power cube core things.
