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! 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...

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.

Boy I guess I got kind of taken at the convention I went to. They charged me a dollar a Muscle. Oh well I really needed them though.
