Question for you guys at large: how do the TFs hold up to cold weather? I may have to store my collection in the garage as our temporary place of abode does not have enough space to store everything indoors.
Scalpel...blood bucket...priest...next patient!

Would ye care fer a wee nip of scotch whiskey?

Yes I am a Cubs fan. You may pity me now.

Space heater? Tho I guess that'd get expensive..I'd think they'd be ok as long as you stored them properly, maybe in those big rubbermaid containers with a sealable lid. But then again winters are harsh in good ole Illinois, so it might stress the plastic just a tad? =/

I've pulled TF's out of my Dad's attic after 15 years up there, no problems at all.

Oh god, so the winters are even worse! D:

I feel ya tho man, I'm gonna be moving up to Minnesota...AFTER Thanksgiving it looks like. And yes, I know you're thinking "Why in the F-ck are you moving up north at the start of winter?!"

Well...lets just say, Rockford is a cancer...a deep malignent cancer that after living here for 22 years. I need to just rid myself of completely lol.

Oh also, just in case anyone WASN'T aware of this. MP Thundercracker is showing up in force in TRU's now. There was a total of SIX sitting on the shelves when I went in yesterday. Sorta makes my trip to Gurnee seem pointless had I just been patient. e.e

The price hike has hit the Target in Skokie, on Howard and roughly McCormack. The good news is that they, as usual, have no new figures on the pegs, but the ones that have been there for months are now priced more expensive, which surely the only reason they'd been pegwarming was due to their relatively low price.

I stopped by the Schaumburg TRU yesterday and the Carpentersville TRU today. The Schaumburg store still had 4 MP Thundercrackers along with the usual TF Prime and Universe toys. They now had a nice sized hole in their TF display. I talked to the Customer Service desk and they think MP Prime is arriving on the Saturday truck. Since I'm working overnights all weekend 15 minutes from Schaumburg, I can check them out this weekend.

Carpentersville received their MP Thundercrackers and had them on an endcap at the start of the TF aisle. They also had no clue when they were getting MP Prime. The department manager was seriously annoyed when I told her Rockford got Prime and sold out already.

One FE Terrorcon CJ at TRU Downers Grove tonight I almost bought him but didn't. They had 3 MP Optimuseses, but I put one on layaway, Merry Christmas to me!

Also, one each of the GDO Scout Dead End and Sandstorm, and I bought the last FE Entertainment Pack OP and Meg. Anybody want the Optimus without his weapon, cheap?
