Asked a nice gentleman for help and he scanned the figure I had to see if any of the rest of the wave was in stock. Sure enough he brought out a nice fresh box. Soundwave, Megs, Red and Darkmount. I took 2 reds and a Darkmount and left the rest. For anybody looking the generations box does have wave 3 on it if that helps the stock people. Also of note that for some reason Red Alert isnt in their computer to be rung up.

Yeah that was me. I happened to wander in there with some friends once and discovered all that stuff. I'm not all that great at figuring out if something is a G1 KO or not (especially since I don't collect g1). But I wouldn't put it past that guy, he is set up in a flea market. But I don't know him personally or anything so who am I to judge. The store right near Tri County, Amok Time won't steer you wrong though. In all my experiences with them, they have been very cool.

He was selling a boxed devastator gift set for like 120. I dont think he's trying to pass it off as real as any real collector would know a MISB devs would cost much more than that. Its just that his mark up is really high for stuff. For example, I paid 18 dollars for Classics Cyclonus when he first got released. I couldnt find him anywhere but there and that was a small amount compared to what I spent in gas looking for him all over the place. I use that guy in circumstances like that.
Amok Time on the other hand is the place to be. I swear i can just spend hours in that place looking at his crap. Now with them, stuff is marked up a little when he first gets it but once it hasnt moved they price it quite nicely. Just recently picked up omega supreme (reissue) from him for 80 bucks and sky linx for 50. The best deals with them go on the loose stuff. Classics astrotain for 8 dollars, 1st movie black ironhide (to turn him into classics Trailblazer) for 10 dollars. They're like the Marshalls of the TF world. "What will you find today?"
Real upset about Dark Henkei too. I was eyeing it when they first got it and it was like 70. Couldnt justify it at that price just because it was a delux but i would have been all over him for 45. Good catch.

Darkman20xx wrote:That figures. So tempted to jump right now but I just blew my budget on MP Grimlock, the Bruticus Upgrade kit and wave 2 of generations. Trying to hold off until my next commission payout will be murder. Maybe I'll get some dough for the B Day tomorrow though.
BrooklynPrime wrote:Ahh Yes My boys at Amok Time are Awesome.. Just to let you all know because i share the info on deals as a collector not a grimey selfish person or collector but Amok Time has MP Ultra Magnus for $107.00 cash out the door! I got 2 this past holiday weekend and can't complain at all ever about them! plus picked up a Henkei Dark Skye Fire from them for $45 But back to my fellow collector Tyrannotaur.. if during your TF hunting if there is something your looking for or cant find shoot me a PM on here I pick up 3 to 4 of each figure most the time and if i can help its no bother at all brother ... plus i am not some SB who would 3x jack up or even 2x jack the price I enjoy collecting and i know the feeling when you find that hard to find or new release figure and got no problem with helping out fellow Seibertronians who live close by oh and yeah i dont mean to or am trying to bash that guy at Tri-County but some of the boxes just seem to match up with what I seen B4 or even what they show on here, Esp some of those G1's he has and Reissue's

Tri county is kinda far from my house and i rather not go if they don't have it, cause ebay is just to crazy right now. I have been coming up empty a lot of the times with everything which is definately upsetting. Might make a run to TRU on 110 tomorrow if my sister wants to go. She collects LBP Sackboys now and she is looking for the girl with the pig tails and the Voodoo sackboy. I'll let you know if I find anything.
Oh well I did find an Animated Arcee on monday of this week but she was the only one left and I picked her up so I didnt feel it was worth mentioning right away lol.
