I got my opened Hound for $10 and Dead End for $5. Just be patient.

Is that the best place for loose transformers? As long as I get it for under the regular store prices, I'm pretty happy.

check out TFW2005.com, Allspark.com, and Tfans.com. Those are the most popular and you'll never know what you'll turn up.

I've never paid more than $10 for a loose alternator. So far I have:
Hound - TFW
Swindle - TFW
Ravage - TFW
Deadend - TFW
Windcharger - $10 @ Walmart
Silverstreak - $10 @ Walmart
Smokescreen - (gift h: )
Sideswipe - TFW

I opened up my TFC #0 Prime last night. Then I screwed up big time trying to put the stickers on. I think I might just throw him away now. :happysad:

Yeah. I might get Megatron out tonight and act out their battle. I just need to find a hammer to create authentic battle damage on them both.

If nobody had said there was a binder with Prime I would have never known it. Mine's all sealed up tight.

Cool, I'll check those out. If you end up having trouble selling Hound and Dead End, I'd still buy them from you


Aren't you guys afraid that you'll have kids one day that will go and open all your toys? My girlfriend always asks me what I would do if we had kids that wanted to play with my transformers. I think I'd probably end up playing with them.

I have my 2.5 year old trained pretty well. He says "daddy's transformers stay in the box." I've bought him 3 of the Transformers Go-Bots for kids and those can keep him entertained for days.

I don't want you to over pay. That's one thing we do in this thread, kinda show the best deals possible.

My buddy had this happen. He had an extensive collection of hotwheels cars in his room. He came home from work and saw that his niece (2 years old) opened about 25 packages.
