I made it! Thank you for all the recommendations and advice. We had a lot of fun on this trip. The toy show was really cool to walk through - there were recent TFs, like you said, but there were a lot of older figs. It was fun to see what people had - like a museum where you could buy the...

Is the Washington State Toy Show a cash-only type event or will they use something like Square? I haven't been to anything like this in years.

It's funny and sad at the same time . . .

Archie McPhee's is a crazy weird place. Reminded me of Boo Radley in Spokane, but with extra doses of crazy. It was fun to see their celebrity picture wall - they had John DeLancie in his Voyager costume. (Maybe it was DS9?) Their Transformer selection was different than what I've seen in other...

I've spent part of this evening mapping out where these stores are relative to us and looking at pics - Toy Roundup has a wall of TFs in one pic. I think they were the one with a massive wall of Funko Pops, top, but I'm not as interested in those. We were cracking up over things at Archie...

This is awesome - thank you! We're checking out the ren fair for part of Saturday, but I'm going to see if there's a way we can hit up both that and the Toy Show.

I'll be in Seattle over the next few days on a family vacation. I can do searches for stores, but are there any "can't miss" shops for Transformers, Lego, comics, or just good book stores? On the flip side . . . are there shops that I should skip due to lousy selection or outrageous prices...

Seemed appropriate - my longboard's a Globe.

Nice. I had fun putting mine together, too. Careful when you pick it up - mine comes apart in the middle. There's one spot near the turntable where it doesn't hold together well. It looks crazy cool on the shelf, though.

Totally forgot about the Tensegrity release, and I do have Delta Magnus . . . My Optimus and Magnus both used the armor when I was growing up - it all depended on the "story" of the moment.

Seems like the beginning of a movie. You weren't trying to film anything, were you?

Funny - you beat me to this. I was going to make a comment about a poseable Ultra Magnus w/ a removable cab that could be swapped out w/ Optimus, and then wrap it all up by asking "too soon?"

"Robots in disguise?"

I just read through this entire thread again. Iggy Drouge, Ben's page, Dave's page, pre-transformers, Phule's, the page w/ the big summaries of Japanese cartoons, the TF webring, ATT . . . It's fun to sit here and reminisce on a slow Friday.

There are good ideas, bad ideas, and fun ideas. Sometimes two of those are the same thing. But I was up until 2 or 3 last night, so I shouldn't go looking for a Dunkin. At least not for a day or two.

If I step back and tip it just right . . . Bought a cold brew today. When I said "go big," I had no idea what I was in for.

I really wanted to turn BB Silverstreak/Blue Bluestreak into Alternators Smokescreen, and I bought a second one just for that purpose. It's sitting in a bin at the moment, though. I have no idea when/if that project'll ever happen.

Bwa ha ha ha . . . . I still love How I Met Your Mother, because it's so fun to watch those actors play off each other. I teach with people who hate the show, though, so it's fun to bring up that finale every so often just to watch them blow up.

Kascade and Javelin could look cool next to Axelgrease. Hot Shot is cool, but someone posted a mock-up of that mold in Animated colors a while ago. I think I'd rather have that than the Hot Rod colors. Those are cool, don't get me wrong, I just liked the animated colors more. Ultra Magnus...

Nuttin.' What's a Magnius wit you?
