Hey fellas
Would any one here happen to know where I could find and purchase some of the Classics line in San Antonio, Tx? I've tried most of the main toy stores and hobby places(ugh) but most all I see are toys based on the movie figures..

thanks for any advice fellas

If you're trying to find the original Classics line, I wish you luck. That line's all dried up almost anywhere, including specialty toy stores. I'd suggest camping BigBadToyStore's vintage department or another online stores because there isn't much hope in finding them still on the shelves.

As in Prime, Magnus, Starscream, Rodimus, Bumblebee, Jetfire, Grimlock etc...?

That's a 4 year old line. No way you are going to find them in stores still.

If you are referring to: Sunstreaker, Prowl, Dinobot, Cyclonus, Inferno etc...
You may find leftovers in stores, but again its been a while since they've been out. So whatever is left is what you may find.

The newer ones like Cyclonus and Inferno may be easier to spot.
the first wave, of Sunstreaker, Prowl etc.. really unlikely.

Your best bet is checking out online stores of Ebay(if you don't mind buying there)

BBTS still has a decent selection of things. Including the Japanese versions of the figures so you can get those.

Hey trence! I'm a fellow San Antonian and i have to concur with what the fellas said here. I know Alien worlds on 410 and 281, down past the north star mall may have some vintage bots but as far as classics go I would keep a sharp eye on BBTS..That and ebay are pretty much your only avanues..
