I saw one in the St. Petersburg TRU two days ago. It's probably still there.

Tate's is still there and they do stock Encores. They have a selection of G1 but it's not always on display as they tend to rotate their stock on the floor. The last time I saw their G1 selection it struck me as a bit overpriced, like a loose Bluestreak for $125 or in that range. Their prices on Encore are decent but they don't have everything.

That's monthly now with the next one coming up November 28th. I've never gone because I'm in Pembroke Pines and it's a bit far. The best way I'vve found to find out about toy shows in the Miami/Broward area is by checking craigslist, which is how I know about the Miccosukee show.

I saw Human Alliance Skids yesterday at the K-Mart on Pines and the TRU on that street has had Perceptor and the Insecticons for about a week now.

Can you post the address/directions for Tate's comics? I'll be in the area for Thanksgiving week.

Tate's is on N. University just north of NW 44th in Lauderhill. There are some really good directions at their site that show you how to get there no matter what direction you're coming from.

Cool, thank you. The directions say they're next to Uncle Sam's. I've never been to that location, but I've heard really good things from friends. Sounds like I have something to keep me busy next week.

don't know if this has been posted yet, but wal-mart has been selling universe 2.0 voyager leftovers for $11. TRU also had a 50% sale on their 2.0 leftovers for a couple of days as well, if anyone's interested...

Has anybody seen discounts on Animated Voyagers at Wal-Mart. Some people on the TFW boards say they've seen them discounted, but I haven't yet. Has anyone seen them here?

While i haven't been chaecking their prices, I've noticed that the TFA Voyagers that are still for sale mostly consist of Bulkhead, Lugnut (normal and Atomic), and Optimus Prime (though, I will see Shockwave and Skywarp on occasion, but not as often as the others).

Here's the brochure for last year's Botcon. There are several different rates for attendance, and it lasts all weekend.
