websites for buying accessories

[Hobbyist Prime]

Hey everyone,

Does anybody know some good sites for buying TF accessories and loose bots? I have run out of items that I'm looking for on the following sites and need something different...

transformerland
fortmax.net
bigislandtoys

and I refuse to use ebay! I'm not paying 10X the price of the part for shipping!


Thanks in advance, Chad

Put up your list in the Wanted section.

I'm sure many of us have parts lying about.

Unless you wanted to do 1 large purchase, rather than multiple small purchases...

Other than the ones you listed...
wheeljackslab

...is all I know of

I got a lot of generation 1 parts, check my thread for any of those.

Assuming you are a non-US-American, and a general normal human being, I would not recommend that guy.

At one point dit138 was a great ebay seller for parts, but I think she's not shipping to Canada any more, and prices were steep.

Russ has just about any part you'll need...you'll pay "market value" for his parts but you can buy in bulk and save. Sorry, don't have his contact info at the moment.

Some of her prices don't seem too bad. But where she ships too seems to be very inconsistent. A mixture of US, Canada and UK.. and it seems random which ones that get listed with any parts.

I've been tempted to contact to see if it's an oversight on some parts, but I never bothered.

For those in the GTA (heck, even outside the GTA), your best contact for G1 parts/accessories is Russ. There's no other source than him. For those who know him or visited his booths at TFcon, he's VERY aggressive with his parts (we know that), but give the man credit where it's due. He has EVERYTHING related to G1, and I believe in most cases, he has like 10 of everything (I'm not exaggerating either). His inventory is FRIGIN ridiculous. I don't collect G1, but even I'm amazed with his stuff. There IS NO ONE who can compete with him with respect to selection, it's just a matter of meeting a common ground with respect to price. I've known Russ for years and he is a good guy deep down. I'm sure one of the mods on the boards would be more than welcome to share his contact info (if wanted).

Russ, if you read this, you owe me a coffee next time (well, make that a Green Tea)

Stay warm everyone, now roll-out,
MCH.

Don't bother!!!! I emailed her through eBay MULTIPLE times and she eventually blocked me from her auctions completely. I wasn't being rude or anything...just asking if she would ship to Canada whenever a part I needed came up. The auctions would say the shipping price to Canada and so I would try to bid and it would say the seller dosent ship to your country. No response ever and then the boot.
