Norman G. Sippel
For my latest finds from my TF source, I got two bulk deals:

Trypticon
Scorponok (Weird Wolf's Head)
Metroplex
Duocon plane and tank
Red Throttlebot
Windcharger
Mixmaster (loose)
Vortex (complete)
Brawl (with overhead gun but no small gun; plus pieces to Bruticus)
Eject (complete)
A few other small ones
$67 :)
Sunday
Kup (Targetmaster, complete)
Weirdwolf
Sixshot (one misc. weapon, not necessarily his own)
Tailgate
Headstrong (one Predaking foot)
Wingspan (wings only)
$32 :)
Kup was marked $12, but he sold me him as a part of the deal for $5. :)
Please let me know if you can help me find accessories to Scorponok,
Trypticon, Metroplex, WeirdWolf, Wingspan, Sixshot, Headstrong, or
the Duocons. Thanks!
BTW, sorry Dave, but the Computron pieces were gone when I went back to my

Lets see, I just picked up A Tele-Game(Atari 2600 clone) with thirty
six games, $15! (I've been trying to get one for MONTHS!) I picked
up an Astrotrain and A Sandstorm, $0.50 each, the A-Train is in good
shape, but the sandstorm needs some TLC. I found A Blaster Action
Master, $0.25, and LOTS of Micromasters for $0.25-$0.50 each. I also
picked up A Deathsauros clone and A Dia-Atlas clone for about $20.00
each. There's been more, but those are the real fond memories. (They
hold the Swap-Meet three days A week here, so I get lots of chances to
shop.)
The worst thing was this morning, I missed A MIB Fort Max for $30.00
by about fifteen minutes. 8-(
So what have you done today? 8-)

Um, that's not the same character. That's the actual Torpedo, presumably
Brock Jones, the guy who had the armor before the Turbo twins.

fleamarket was a 3 inch little bue car (well, blue) Gobot. I
might have gotten it, but on the underside was a sticker that
read "First Generation Transformer, $35.00." I nearly had an
aneurysm laughing.
My friend went hungint (okay, why can't I backspace?) flea
markets last weekend and found altogether;
1) a g2 Smokescreen/Dreadwing gun and misile; 25 cents.
2) a Action Master Starscream: $2.00.
3) Fire in the Sky video, $7.00
4) Transformers Lunch Box w/thermos, $6.25
5) an empty Pretender shell marked "He-Man: 76 cents. (well, not
exactly, but I can't backspace.)
6) 12 Transformers comics in protective sleeve, fine condition:
$1.00 apiece.
The last two items exceeded his money quota, though he plans to
go back and get those comics.
The closest thing I ever found to a tf besides the aforementioned
was a case of Stawars )(AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!) Star Wars figures
priced from 7-15 dollars.
Every time read about somebody finding TFs at Fleamarkes (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
I want to scream. This editor doesn't help. I wish I knew someone
who could find stuff like that....say, a %55 Fort max....I wouldn't
mind. (I didn't mean a fifty-five percent fort max...btw) Here in
LRM we get everything late, though NLR gets stuff early compared to
LR.
Warpticon, who is now searching for a cheap Tracks, Star Warrior II,
Robolinks, and any other Japanese knockoffs I can get cheap. :)
