Do you know any good places to pick up g1 or japanese figures in that area?



To my knowledge, no. I know Lawrence has some comic shops that sell some older toys, but no Transformers. I can't say I've seen any older toy or hobby stores in the areas I frequent.

However, I am new to the Kansas area, so it may just be that I am looking in the wrong places. But I will try to keep my eyes open.

The Wal-Mart in Lawrence finally restocked deluxes. I picked up a DropKick, but sadly they didn't have Longarm. They had Brawl, Bonecrusher, Swindle, and Dreadwing, along with about 5 or so DropKicks. So...be on the lookout in Wichita.

yeah, wichita is still pretty dry. But i stepped into the Derby walmart the other day and they had just about every deluxe except for bb, barricade, and arcee. I'm still debating on dropkick and longarm... Only voyager was ratchet but i'm hoping to get my hands on the best buy version.

Every Wal-Mart around here seems to have restocked. Lawrence had deluxes a few days ago, and both Wal-Mart's I go to in Topeka restocked as well.

I finally was able to complete my movie collection (all I wanted at least). I got Dropkick on the weekend, Thundercracker on Monday, and I finally found Longarm today. Sooo...until the little Sector 7 Dune Buggy comes out, I think I am done hunting for awhile.

As for Dropkick and Longarm...both are actually pretty good figures. I would give the nod to Dropkick though. He's a pretty bad ass looking robot. But honestly, both are worth it.

Well...the Lawrence Wal-Mart has voyager Thundercracker..2 of them if I recall.

I've seen 08 Bumblebee (by himself) only once recently in the Topeka Wal-Mart, but I'd say your best bet is to go to a Target, and get the Evolution of a Hero set. The Lawrence Target had about 6 sets of them a little over a week ago.

I haven't seen Leader Prime or Leader Megatron since early August, and that was at the Topeka Target. Can't say I've seen too many Voyager Prime's around either. I've seen two before, one in Lawrence, and one in Topeka, but that was about a month ago.

Hope it helps

To my knowledge no...

but..

I haven't actually been to a Kohl's since I got my 08 Bumblebee there back around mid-August. So, they could actually sell Voyagers, but my guess is they aren't

oh because i heard someone say they found voyager prime on the floor at a kohls toy display. of course around me, like when a new popular figure comes out, such as 08 bb its gone before i can get it. it gets very frustrating finding new figures.

well some of the wal-marts here in wichita still have leader primes and megs. But it would be cheaper to order them and pay shipping than to take the time/gas to drive here.
