BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

[Metallica_Unforgiven]

I was just about to post and vent about the crazy SNES Classic pricing on the secondary market on craigslist. Then Kirbenvost brightened my day by posting about the Pop Culture show on Oct 14

I'll be in my usual spot selling some MP cars and a couple of jets. Got a few boxed and loose G1s as well... and some marvel legends and Nintendo games/consoles.

I have to admit the turnout during the Spring shows earlier this year was very heartwarming to see. The Scottish Centre is becoming our new go-to spot for getting together and enjoying this crazy hobby!

Great see you guys there!

I really wanted to get a table to sell boxed g1s but alas parenthood won't afford me the spare time.

I'll have to settle for a an hour to shop and chat

Hank... there's another one on Nov. 25 if you can make it work.

I live close to that Walmart and am glad I decided not to go there, especially since it was raining.

I decided not to chance it and went to the Bestbuy at Metro at 5:30. Four and a half hour wait and they had 100 ready to sell lol.

Amusingly, this douchebag scalper at metro who got one at EB just casually strolled up and joined the line at Bestbuy with his EB bag in hand, and when the Manager was handing out tickets, saw his bag and denied him a ticket.

It's better this time overall. As I said, the Bestbuy at metro had 100 and there was only 80 in line, so plenty for walk ins. I hear a Bestbuy in New York has 300.

Though my friend who lined up at the EB at Brentwood was one person short. I'm surprised he didn't vent his frustration because he was never able to get the NES Classic and swore off Nintendo products for good.

Ahahaha, this made my morning. Too bad about your friend though, that would be a huge bummer. I'm glad they have a lot more stock anyway, maybe they'll actually restock and people can finally get one easily this time.

Anyway, glad to see people making it out to the Pop Culture show, it's gonna be a good one! Here's the Facebook event in case anyone wants the info on there:

Takara is already reissuing MPM-03 Bumblebee. Preorders are up on most Japanese e-tailer sites.

KO version is also on its way. There has been some so called leaked version in early September that were sold for ~$70 CAD in China and the quality was actually almost indistinguishable from Hasbro's. Now the KO versions is coming in early October and price is around $45 CAD in China. Makes me wonder how fast would 4th party factories start selling MPM04 and what kind of improvement would they make to the defected original product.

what boxed g1 stuff do you guys have available?

[kirbenvost]

I'll be selling mostly newer series.

What's the deal with everyone getting rid of their Generations Metroplex lately? Decided they don't need him and Fort Max, or is there something I don't know?
