Description My Wal-Mart keeps letting the TF toys run out before they add a few to the shelves again. It's been worrying me, for I get afraid that they're going to end the present toy-line and start something new before I get the guys that I want. So anyways. I wanted Knockout. I'm troubled by rent and bills, so it was hard to justify buying something "unnecessary," but I eventually talked myself into getting the vain little mech. After all, he won't be for sale forever, and I do have a birthday coming soon. He thinks I'm quite unfair, though.

They've got to scare us into buying toys... "If you don't buy now, you may never get a chance to buy this little guy until someone has him on eBay for $14.99 in three years!!!"

$14.99 is cheaper than the ones I buy right now in the store xDDDDD And don't worry, value doesn't go up that fast and that high for toys that aren't convention exclusive or an otherwise limited run.

I think the real reason is that there are maybe 5 Transfans living in my county. I used to think I was the only one, but then a worker at Wal-Mart informed me that, no, we get crazy Transformers collectors all the time DDD8 You people scare us. I'm probably the only one who reads the comics, though. xP They don't even sell 'em at the local comic shop anymore. Apparently, they're not worth it.

Yikes! You're buying the big guys, then! Cool! I'm one of those penniless college students, so I'm limited to the little, cheapest ones. I was exaggerating for effect there on the price rise.

I don't even know about the Transfan population where I live... I saw a guy with an Autobot T-shirt last semester, but that's about it. Haha! You guys scare them?! Lols! I just causally stop by the TFs every single time I go to Wal-mart and look the bots over then walk on.

GeyserEelborn In reply to Cairistona [2013-01-30 15:43:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the price rise is more like fifteen or sixteen now. O.o

I occasionally see other Transfans, usually wearing Autobot shirts. Saw a guy a couple years ago wearing a jacket with the G1 Megatron box art on it. [Stifles a giggle] Y'know, the one with the trigger... But I only saw him that once, and I've only met one other Transfan here. :\ I've had to extrapolate from how much product is sold. xP

I think it's more toy collectors in general xDD But apparently there are some scary obsessive TF toy collectors in this county?

Happy birthday! How about letting the poor doc out now eh?

Cairistona In reply to WerewolfThorn [2012-11-26 20:01:56 +0000 UTC]

Thank-you! I did. He rather uppity about it, though... probably still mad about the wait. And I was 400 miles away from home visiting family for Thanksgiving, so I had to drive home on my birthday, so the doc-con had to suffer a seven hour car-ride with six Autobots, a bratty little Decepticon Kreon, and a rather hyper Thundercracker. (Thundercracker, being a seeker, doesn't do well with car-rides; he can hardly stand being cooped up in a ground-roller and constantly frets about getting stuck in traffic).

Hehehe! No... but there is a bratty Kreon Sunstorm. And one of my friends got a TPF Soundwave for me, so now he has to worry about Soundwave.

He is! And I have no idea WHY!

Knockout: "WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! Can't you toy-makers see that I'm clear a luxurious shade of red? I'm not orange!!!"

Anyways, I still wanted him, so I got him.

Knockout: "I'm irresistible even in the wrong paint-job."

I slip down the boys' toys aisle for the TF's every time I'm in Wal-Mart, which is about once a week, and most of the time I don't see KO. I've only seen him twice in the past three months, actually. Persistence is necessary.
