Thx for the pm mugen! I pm'ed u back~

how bout the San Fernando Valley? (aka the scalper's hive)
[SG Valley = Frank & Sons hive]

I've been hearing these "Frank & Sons" guys a lot recently. I assume it's a toy shop in SGV area.

Met with Sludge yesterday night at Walmart El Monte, no MP SS, but lots of dropkicks if someone is still looking for one.

Thanks to Sludge, I got my MP SS!!

I've been calling the Wal-Marts in my area regarding the MP SS, but the people I talk to aren't much help.

The Wal-mart in Glendora is 24hrs, so it will make it hard to catch these when they are stocked.

ive found plenty of mp ss last night.... i snagged 2 for me (couldnt buy more, low on $) but i left the rest and stashed 2 just in case.... pm for location.
.... also congrats to everyone that got their mp ss. and to mugen and sludge, good looking out .

.... also found some wave 1 voyagers including ironhide at wal mart.... pm for info.

Sent you a PM.

P.S. I know I just joined this forum, but I am not a scalper just a collector.

Thanks.

I went to 5 wal-marts.... All sold out
Thx mugen for trying but when I got to the Wal-mart at 7:00 all 6 cases were gone

7 in the morning!! Dude!! Guaranteed it would have been gone by 10 or even 1030 last nite. There was a lurker there. The lady that helped me out didnt want to take the other boxes out. I was gonna stash some for you guys. I got 2. 1 for me and my cousin. Last min. on the cousin part. I didnt know who this old guy was, he was just lurking around looking for the boxes. Luckly I found it before he did. There's 2 in WM Duarte left when I went this morning, this was around 10:30am this morning. Just to see what they got. Toy manager was hiding it. PM me for details! Good luck to everyone. By the way the people that goes to the WM I go to in Duarte we got competition, lots!!!! Just got that info from manager there.

Yikes. Mmm will they have more in a week or two? I'm low on cash right now but I'll have more money next week, but I'm also afraid that they'll all be gone... Yikes, credit card time.

See, I actually live in Walnut, so it's pretty much impossible for me to get any toys in the stores, because it's where Frank and Sons is. I've actually bumped into the same scalpers at Toys R Us, and usually they show up much earlier than I do and scalp everything. On the other hand, the old toys, such as Concept Bumblebee, are much cheaper at Frank and Sons, so maybe with time it'll be alright...

Mmmm. Damn, spent too much money this month, with the Wii and Guitar Hero III!

It's pretty much a convention-type thing set in an industrial warehouse in Industry. There's a ton of booths that sell all matter of collectible stuff, including Magic cards, Pokemon cards, Happy Meal toys, Gundams, you name it. Brilliant selection, but only problem is a good lot of them are scalpers as well.


Anyway, I have about 4 spare MP SS's; if you find yourself out of luck, give me a PM and we'll arrange something.

Phatdawg i left you a pm with my number. Give me a call when you have time. I might be out of the area latter tonight so we might have to make the pick up for tomorrow.

Damn! This Mp-SS hungting thing got me tired!! Anybody else in here feel the same!!??? I'm bored at work! LOL!

I am going to give up hunting for now. I think I spent $20 on gas alone going to 7 wallys....

I found all 18 MP SS this morning at a walmart in San Diego, bought only 2, they are rather well hidden.

I got a MP SS, thanks to Mugen. I checked the Walmart in Covina but there were none there...
