    These are just the front counter alone. There are way more. But I'm slowly going to buy as many as I can of the ones I'm interested in. Rodimus Prime (the one where they did an Alternate paint called Rodimus Unicronus) I'm thinking is next, if they sell the 3 Rodimus Unicronus figures. Think that's a good buy? Maybe another figure too. But not sure which.

    It's always nice finding shops like these. If you're planning on buying stuff though, I'd recommend checking eBay to gauge prices first. Welcome to the forums!

    This is a dream I once had. Only they were G1 toys I think.

    I have some pics of their G1 figures. I'll post those in a bit. Most are even mib too. I want this one Transformers Pepsi Prime figure. But it's not a big one. I need research to check if it's a decent price. Pic below is what I'm talking about.

    Congratulations on your find.
    Events like this you wish you could record and play back whenever you want :) 
    I remember my days of hunting small second-hand record stores for Techno 12"s and CDs. The times when I found a store full of treasure was like a party in itself :lol

    They have like 3 or 4 display cases of just G1 figures. It's crazy good. Then there is like 2 isles and 3 endcaps of figures mib/mip from the later stuff. They even have full collections from The Combined Wars behind the front counter. I'm glad there was a recent boil advisory for my city the day I found this place. Otherwise I wouldn't have been bored and gone exploring. Lol.

    Here are a couple G1 figures they have. I need to free up space on phone for more pics.

    On this top one. The Red and Blue Ultra Magnus figure. Is he still Ultra Magnus? I never came across him before in my nearly 40 years of life!!! I want him too. But I want to know more.

    Here are what's behind the counter.

    That isn’t Ultra Magnus- He’s Delta Magnus! He’s a Diaclone figure, and I’m amazed he’s there.

    wait, hold on, what's that toy-based bust of optimus prime's head? @Nevermore you're pretty well versed in this stuff, but if it's something listed on tfwiki it's pictureless. i'm intrigued, especially if it's the cookie jar (which i doubt since it's got the movie font below it)

    I know we aren't supposed to post links. But not dang this site

    Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys - Transformers Wiki answered who this guy...
    20191230_113517~2.jpg
    Is. He is what Ultra Magnus was originally gonna look like in the Animated Movie. And according to that site. Only 1500 were made. I hope he is for sale. He'd be a great addition to the collection.

    Siege Chromia USED going for 17.99$? That's gonna be a hard sale for anyone that follows the line.

    I agree. Some stuff is kinda ridiculous with price.

    Delta Magnus is the name of the Masterpiece redeco in those colors. The redeco of G1 Ultra Magnus was named "Movie Preview Ultra Magnus".

    Says who?

    The rules. I read them. Can't promote or share links to sites.

    No, it doesn't say that second part. It says "Any posts or threads solely to promote a website or store, Transformers related or not, will be removed." It doesn't say "Links to other websites are forbidden". If you post a link to another website to help provide an answer to a question asked by someone else, or to back up a point, or to share the source of news, that's fine. I've been doing that on this board for 15 years now.

    Just starting a thread that basically says "check out this website, it's cool" or posting a link to a website in the middle of a discussion apropos of nothing is not permitted. But context is king here. Does the link serve further a purpose in a discussion, or are you just posting a link for no reason other than to promote said website? That's the important difference, and for the most part, I'd say the forum staff is following this rule the way it's intended rather than in an overzealous "You posted a link! You're banned!" manner.

    From the looks of a few things in those pics, I spy with my lil eye some KO products. Best advice I can offer anyone walking into a shop like this, especially if you are not experienced in what to look for: Buyer Beware. Unless you are an absolute authentic only kinda collector, be absolutely happy with what your paying what looks like full retail for. I've come across many a KO that pass very close to real in my 3 decades of collecting. Even fell for a few Japanese KO's - ok for me since they are now a variant in my collection. Still learn new things weekly. Ask the community if you have concerns. One of us or more is likely to have or access to knowledge on what you are looking at to assist you.

    Just FYI - Thats a 10,000% positive KO Ravage/Jaguar in the Box Behind Delta Magnus. Only official Takara Micro Change boxes are in Japanese to my knowledge with the rest being one of multiple variant releases (three boxed & 1 carded) from Shiantai in at least four varying line names across three continents in the 80's.
