There is plenty every year, I remember the 2007 show when Megatron was "all the rage". Everyone got one. 2008 was all about the Universe 2.0 stuff...... what will it be this year? DUN DUN DUN!

Of course, I remember the year there was only a single galaxy force primus, so there's something to be said about competition and coming early as well.

In terms of Masterpiece items, however, they're popular every year, and if they're out by then, odds are extremely good you'll find them at TFcon.

Last year there was a fair number of Hasbro Screamers. There were few alternator ravage / rumbles though...

there was one guy in 2007 who unveiled a crapload of magnus vs skywarp packs mid saturday. me and purple-bot each got one for a great price. kinda wish i had bought 2 or 3 now. Oh well, I am happy with my one set. beats the crap out of traking one down now a das for 90 bones. that and my city commander actually has a use. so glad i didnt trade Magnus away when i first got the set, as i originally only wanted it for skywarp.

phew.


HEY. What ever happened to that upgrade set to the city commander upgrade set? The one with the new head, and missile launches, and gun and sword?

[Sideswipe]

I want the missikles and gun (and will take the swrd anyways)

I've never been to a convention before, but Im trying my best to get to this one for saturday morning so I can do some shopping and find some bots I've been looking for! I really hate buying online (unless its from another member or a message board I post on) so things are hard to find for me.

Things im looking to buy are original Beast Wars, Henkei Prime, Ratchet and Ironhide, Universe Hound, Encore Soundwave, Megatron, All 3 Seekers, Ironhide, Trailerbreaker. Any 84/85 re-issues that are a decent price ($150 for bookstyle insecticons isn't a decent price, but I'll pay $90ish). and im looking for some RID toys.

really? dang, I bought my second UM/Skywarp two pack just a few weeks ago at a vintage toy store. MISB didnt have a price tag so the owner said $35 bucks.

I used my older magnus for my custom powered convoy blue prime.

This.

I found SO much Beast Wars stuff I was looking for last year...

Of course, I lost a missile in the dealer room. And didn't realise it until after the 'con.
