Hey guys. I'm visiting the LA area from MI and was wondering if there were any cool comic/toy shops that I should check out. Thanks!

Depends on where you are and how far you're willing to drive. Some of my favorites:

Toy Mandela: 14555 Ventura Blvd Sherman Oaks, CA 91403

Blast from the Past: 931 Hollywood Way Burbank, CA 91505

Halo 13: 201 E. Magnolia Blvd Burbank, CA 91501 (this one's in a mall; third floor, right in front of the Sears)

Things From Another World: 1000 Universal Center Dr Citywalk #179 Universal City, CA 91608 (parking's expensive though)

You should probably check out Frank an Sons on a Saturday, too.

Also found Scourge and Kup at the TRU in Redlands. Again sorry, but I took all the scourges for my sweeps.

People like you make me angry, there are collectors who can't find that stuff and then you guys horde every one and the second hand market jacks the price up.... :-x

Agreed. May all your Transformers develop Gold Plastic Syndrome!

Anyone find a MP Grimlock anywhere? Did TRU stop selling them?

LOL. I said sorry.
But really, you would do the same. Its not like I got ten. I only picked up three each, and there for my collection, not to sale.
I got some from BBTS too. So sue me.

I could understand helping friends out or kitbashing, but just sitting there.... And last I checked the phrase "Sorry" doesn't lower stupid ebay prices. :BOOM:

Walmart - San Diego - College Ave near kohls and target

I counted 3 warpath cases worth untouched...

Since I already had a warpath case from bbts I didn't need to
pick any up as I was looking for scouts. Though I probably
should have cleaned out the warpaths for ebay lol. Kidding.

Hopefully they are still there if you are in the area and need
them. Good luck.

Wal-Mart in Bakersfield now has Dotm figures.
4-Roadbuster
8-Bumblebee
1-Ratchet
2-Crakcase
1-starscream
2-skids
the deluxe ones.

Also....
3-Optimus Prime voyager class
1-Ironhide voyager class.

They're turning the walmart into a super walmart so they were hidden and not with the other TF's. They where on a seprate lane with other surplus toys.

Got me Bumblebee.

Tue May 03, 2011 12:57 pm

Looks like Orange County Walmarts have the first wave of Dark of the Moon figures.

I resisted the urge to pick up a few figures. I really like the new Megatron figure.

Tue May 17, 2011 1:57 am

Nice, I picked up the Voyager Megatron too. Haven't opened him yet, but finally two proper hands!

Sat May 21, 2011 9:48 am

A crap load of DoTM figs here at the Wal-Mart in Bakersfield.

Hello my fellow Seibertronians in California! I was at the following Walmart location

3382 Murphy Canyon Rd
San Diego, CA 92123

and found the new wave 2 Human Alliance basics (Tailpipe and Whirl) along with the wave 2 Activators (Topspin and Megatron). This store had a real nice Transformers set up. Biggest I've seen at a store yet!

Happy hunting. See you at BotCon!

Target in Long Beach on 33rd had 3 Fireburst Optimus Primes yesterday around 4pm. If they had him, that meant they had the rest of wave 3 which includes Voyager Class Sentinel Prime. Happy hunting!
