Yeah...couldn't resist it anymore. Bought the Autobot Gift set just to get the Combat Hero Optimus to use with this armour (since I don't have a Botcon SG Ultra Magnus) but have been resisting it since it's $140 (yikes)...but now that I want one, I realized I haven't seen one locally. They only came out sometime in January so I figured they should still be around somewhere...I can get it online but I'm trying to avoid shipping and possibly getting hit for duty.

Yes I saw the chimungmung listing...tempting. I've never ordered from them so I wasn't sure how they declared the item value, but that's good to know, thanks. Definitely a good plan B then, if no one sells it locally.

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

Anyone know of stores in BC to buy vintage boxed g1/japanese transformers/diaclones?

Back in the good old days I remember a place in Crystal Mall, the old JHobby, a few tiny ships in Pacific Plaza. Now, they are all gone.

Going further back to 85, there was this cool toy shop on hastings a few stores over from Army & Navy that sold G1s and Diaclones. That's where I got my yellow diaclone Sideswipe that I never really liked because I thought it was a 'fake' transformer.

Ah, the memories.

Check with Boris at A3U. He mentioned he would be getting both the Magnus and SG Optimus sets, but wouldn't be putting preorders up online.

You'll have a hard time finding any shops with Diaclones or boxed G1s. The only shops I know that carry boxed G1s in BC are Cherrybomb Toys over in Victoria. R.P.G. Vintage Toys out in Langley (near Toy Traders) has G1s as well. But not many boxed, when I was last there, which was awhile ago.

The owner of Toy Traders has mentioned to me that he's been holding onto a lot of vintage G1s, once their ready to revamp their TF section. But that was over a year ago, lol.

I've gotten orders shipped from Tony at Chimungmung in excess of $1000 and never got hit with Customs. He also does a very good job of packing everything he ships out.
