I have an Ultra Magnus but there's no accessories for it, I'm looking to get rid of it. I also have an extra complete Scamper if you want it. I think I have 3 actually, selling 2 of them. I don't know for a price, make me an offer plus actual shipping.

Re: Toys you were hoping to find/buy at TFcon but didn't buy for whatever reason

Two that will probably haunt me for quite some time:

Wal-Mart Universe RED Powerglide $30: were a lot of them at the large table that was loaded with HFTD stuff by the second entrance/exit. Because he was quite large, I told myself I'd nab him before I leave, but totally forgot! Boo, still don't own that mold (passed on the grey, Henkei was too pricey).

Complete Quickmix w/ 2 Targetmasters $25 iirc at some random table: I spent WAAAY too much time at Russ' table with my list of G1 parts. By the time I went back, Quickmix was gone. <sad panda>

Various complete G1s I passed on, but not losing sleep over as they were asking for just too damn much: Grimlock ($95...or any Dinobots for that matter), Wheeljack ($140), Shockwave ($225), Menasor ($275!), Lightspeed MOSC ($60), Punch/Counterpunch ($85), pretty much all Head/Target/Powermasters ($$$ yowza!)

Unhappy Re: Toys you were hoping to find/buy at TFcon but didn't buy for whatever reason

Looked around for Henkei Ironhide (in my opinion, it looks better than Hasbro's version, what with the bad windows and the blue face), but either the dealers were hiding them, or I really really sucked at looking for it D: Did find Henkei Ratchet, for a decent price, considering how high both have gone up on eBay and how they're almost never in stock on other online toy stores. Warbot defender, I missed out on because I already withdrew my limit on Sunday, and Generations Drift I just couldn't plain find (I saw it on the front table and actually got excited but the blonde who was there, though extremely nice, shot my hopes down, lol).

Re: Toys you were hoping to find/buy at TFcon but didn't buy for whatever reason

I was really on the lookout for Magmatron and Universe Nemesis Prime [the mammoth] neither of which I saw. I would have spent a hefty amount [for me] on that mammoth...

I also saw Heinlad for 40 bucks, which struck me as sorta high, so I waffled, and sure enough it was gone when I returned later. So... I dunno. Bit of a wash.

Oh, also, a guy was gonna sell me Botcon Buzzclaw and Dirge for, I think, 35 bucks. I feel I should have gone for that one. Not an amazing deal, but deal enough I think I should have taken it.

Oh, well.

I concur with those who did rounds and missed out, i wanted rid prime, did 1 round , came back and he was gone, henkei ss for $20....i know, what's $20on a henkei ss. Next year i see it at a good price it's mine!!!! I also agree that some of the price were exorbitant to say the least but it was well done, congrats to the staff.

Re: Toys you were hoping to find/buy at TFcon but didn't buy for whatever reason

My memory gets me every time.

A seller had Botcon Springer for $70. I offered $60 but the seller wasn't there at the time...his wife, I guess?, was watching the table and said he is the one negotiating. So she was nice enough to put it aside. I was to come back and get the verdict but I TOTALLY forgot. I was half way home stuck in traffic when it occured to me. I feel so freakin bad for leaving them hanging and would've bought for sure.

Just as an FYI to the people that came Sunday, next time come Saturday because that's when things like Drift were available and sold out by the end of the first day.

Re: Toys you were hoping to find/buy at TFcon but didn't buy for whatever reason

I had totally spaced on my wishlist till the last minute for some reason. I was trying to find a Universe Skyfall (Silverbolt repaint) for sure... And an Alternity Cliff, which I saw but was busy and then forgot about.

I think there were a couple others I was looking for...
