Motto: ""Not good enough for G1!""
I hope this is acceptable to post this here, but I'd like to share some info on a friend's planned Get-Together... (He's not a member of the forums here, so I am hopeful that this is acceptable!)

Hey guys,
I wanted to spread the word regarding an event a friend of mine is putting together.

Event: The Inaugural Wi. Mini-Con!
Date: December 1st
Time: TBD (Roughly Noon-5pm?)
Location: Beaver Dam, Wi

His description of the event, from their Facebook page:
These Mini conventions ("Mini-Cons") will hopefully be starting in Late Nov/Early December of this year.
My vision for the Mini-Cons is a chance for all us mid-western Transformers lovers to get together have, have a good time, do some basic small dealer/swap meet stuff, and then to add to the Con style Each event will host a few fun activities, ranging from Script Readings, Customs classes, Transformers Trivia, and some other stuff based on the season.
I'm hoping that each event will give every collector who attends a chance to get involved in their own little Mini-Convention.


For more information, please check out the Facebook page for the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/357401061018492/

Man we really need to get a group of us together soon. Beacon Tap in Des Plaines off Lee Rd has $1 drafts on Wednesday nights. Would any of you be interested in meeting there next Wednesday or the following Wednesday?


The following Weds would work for me. Keep me posted on details!

Got to go to the Aldi in Lisle today. Vehicons, Airachnids and Deadends are abundant and at 9.99 ea. Then was in the TRU in Joliet and saw all the 1st editions currently available as well as 2 or 3 MP Optimus'. If there's anything I've learned in the past couple of years since I began collecting these things it's to not panic that something won't be available, eventually they'll all be out there somewhere.

In the city there's a Target on Peterson between Ridge and Western. They had a load of new Prime Deluxes yesterday, including Kup and Rumble.
The TRU on Butterfield road in Lemont (?) had the GDO voyagers today. Mostly MEgatrons and one Powerdive.

Rockford TRU has GDO Voyagers. I had TJ Duckette grab me Hotspot, thanks again TJ! And then I went back for Powerdive..not wanting him at first. But then I saw he was a Decepticon flyer and good lord, those paint apps..so against my judgement I scooped him up. BUT there was still 1 or 2 of him left and about 4 Megatrons. Plus the GDO scout and legends figures.

Popped into the TRU on golf road in niles (golfmill) a few mins ago, they have 1 GDO powerdive, 2 GDO cliffjumpers and 1 GDO swerve. nothing else really noteworthy.

EDIT: the deluxe GDOs are on the endcap of the hasbro isle.
