I went to the San Diego Comic Con a few weeks ago and lo and behold I found quite a few muscles I needed. So I was wondering if anyone else knows of any cool toy conventions that couls possibly have lurking muscles. On a side note I also saw a pack of Transformers that were small pink and rubbery like Muscles! :lol: Anyone know the story behind those?

Those are decoys (as they were called in the US) and they are HELLA expensive. Takara released a whole line in Japan, (including multi packs like the muscle 28 packs) and then packaged them over here singly with the TF's line as decoys that came with a couple waves of characters.

As for a convention, I haven't seen any up in the Sacrmaneto area, but we've been trying to get a MUSCLE-Con off the ground for a few years now, and it looks like this next summer it is going to happen for sure. The only question is how big it is going to be.

Usually when I see MUSCLEs at conventions, the dealers try to ream me by charging a couple bucks each MUSCLE. I have been known to laugh out loud in a dealer's face when he tells me the price... :lol:

Every year in Atlanta there is an anime convention. Last year I had a friend who went and found some muscle and kinnikuman stuff.

Alas like Nathan said they dealers want to rake you over the coals.

He did get a little transmetal optimus primal figure that transforms for me.
