They do it every year there.

It is not like the summer or fall toy shows, much smaller, remember the fair is going on and they smash some toy vendors into as well

Actually, they don't. The toy show hasn't been there in 6 years for the County Fair according to the message I posted above.

Hmm thought it was a yearly deal, checked my old fliers and I was thinking that cause they started pushing it on the 2010 fliers already for 2011 lol

Wonder if it's worth hitting for that?????????????????? Not near the vendors of the spring or fall show and the fall show has tons more than spring, at least this past year,

The fall show is my favorite, but this one really intrigues me because it's for 3 days and during the County Fair, which means more people. I'm almost intrigued enough that I wish I had known about it being 3 days and that weekend. I have so many doubles and extras now that I need to have a venue to sell some of this stuff at quickly to get rid of some of it, and make a little profit to pay for my time and gas. I am currently planning on being a dealer at Slagacon.

More recent stuff from the past 5 years or so. I brought down most of my loose G1 stuff to your place a month or so ago.

hey ryan
i am looking for someof the 25th ann items if you have any doubles let me know

News Credits: 9 · Sun Jul 17, 2011 7:23 pm

Alright, picked up the Target-exclusive DOTM Jazz, the TF1 repaint. Big thanks to Ryan for the DPCI via text, I'd forgotten to write it down earlier. I aked the guy in Electronics (Rosemont) and he brought out Bumblebee first, then went back for Jazz.

Jazz is this cool dark translucent gray, like The Ghost of Jazz. The legs and torso are solid light gray, tho, and his windows are unpainted. I might hit the windows w/ black. Warts and all, I love this mold.

And Ryan, I might be interested in some recent stuff you might want to get rid of, could you post a list perhaps?

News Credits: 3642 · Sun Jul 17, 2011 7:57 pm

About 1/4 of the stuff that I have extra right now is posted on Seibertron.com's eBay account which is linked in my profile and at the top of the site. I do all of my Transformers sales through eBay.

I don't have any loose items posted at the moment because those take up less space and are more difficult to photograph for the auctions.

Anyone seeing Wheeljack around? If you are - can someone pick one up for me?

Thanks!

Did TRU say they'd go on sale tomorrow? I wasn't expecting them to go online.

HTS will be next Monday.

There's a couple at my local Kmart. I'm in the south suburbs, (Orland/Crestwood) area. If you want I can grab it. Just let me know.

Dude, if they're still there, I am totally game.

I picked up the Kmart exclusive HA Sideswipe figure tonight at the Kmart in Des Plaines. Had 3 left.

News Credits: 2 · Fri Jul 22, 2011 2:39 am

Saw that KMart exclusive in droves at the one here in Rockford on State St.

FYI, just got back from Captain America. Epic awesomeness. Stay to the end for a VERY special treat: a teaser trailer for...

...The Avengers!

I ended up with 10s of thousands of dollars in damage to my Transformers collection tonight/this morning. Sucks big time. We're all OK, just couldn't keep up with the 12 to 18" of sewer water spewing out of our downstairs toilet.

Heavy rainstorms are Chicago's latest weather nightmare

We couldn't move my Transformers out of the basement fast enough. Tubs knocked over, filled with water. Probably was better off having boxed Transformers stored in cardboard boxes like I used to have, they at least didn't tip over when the water got deep enough.

And yes, we even got a few floaters out of the deal. I don't even want to think about what I'm covered head to toe in right now. At least the sewer water was so diluted from the rain that I don't smell like sewer water at the moment.

Let me tell how much fun it was when the hose popped off the portable sump pump and sprayed right in my face and all over me. Mmm mmm mmm

Feel like Tom Hanks in the Money Pit right now.
