    I'm familiar with Crowe mag toys already, but does anyone have any other toy shop recommendations? I did a Google search but didn't see anything

    I was wondering if anyone wants to pick this up in the cary/raleigh area for $70? I've been wanting to sell it, but not have to ship it. SDCC exclusive Rodimus.

    I know of a few spread throughout the state but not much in any one city. Just going off memory for these, so best to look them up if any sound interesting to make sure they're still around - hopefully so.
    • Ogopo Toys inside Ultimate Comics Cary, off, uh, Buck Jones or whatever the road's called at that point. It's across from the back issue "warehouse" and the first time you go in it feels like you went somewhere only employees were supposed to, but it's all good. Very very hit or miss with TFs, usually miss, but the dude that runs it is at least really chill and fun to talk to.
    • Acme Comics Presents in Greensboro is excellent, again keeping in mind that any secondhand shop can be either bountiful or bare-bones with TF stock on any given day
    • Ssalefish Comics and Toys in Winston-Salem across from Hanes Mall, same plaza as the old TRU, or if you're an old fart like me, it's in the old Heroes Comics location. Excellent place, have found some absolute gems there over the years like a complete Ceji "red foot" G1 OP. Usually has a small sampling of newer MPs as well.
    • Rebel Base Comics and Toys in Charlotte. I've never been but it's a very memorable name, right?
    • I remember seeing pre-pandemic that someone opened up a shop in downtown Lexington. You would think since my sister-in-law owns a beauty parlor in downtown Lexington that I would have been there or know if it was still around, but I have not and don't know.
    • There was a place in Boone like 15 years ago in the strip mall behind the Cook Out. It's probably not around anymore, but I haven't been to Boone in years
    I'm sure there are more I'm not aware of out there. Hope this helps a little at least!

    Walmart on 29 has a bunch of kingdom wave 1 deluxes in addition to an arcee as well as 2 studio series grimlocks and a bunch of retro headmasters and several Netflix clampdowns and a couple desius drones and a good bit I’d wave 1 and 2 core class but no wave 3 yet.
    Target Kannapolis has 2 voyager Cyclonuses or is it cyclonii? Also a bevy of leader ultra magnuses or is that magni lol.

    Walmart on hwy 29 didn’t really have anything new to speak of. Walmart in Kannapolis had the new Netflix voyager primal and sparkless seeker and walmart concord mills had a few ultra Magni and leader megatrons. Target Kannapolis had a studio series leader grinder and grimlock.

    If you have pics, that may be first US sighting of the wv3 Netflix voyagers.

    I thought slug was next not grindor.
    Oh well.
    Pics are needed for conformation.
    Then a mod can get to front page.
