Meeting TF Fans you don't know

[turtle boy]

only other fans that i have met are the melbourne guys, and maybe some random fans that have been fans of the newer stuff and when told about the older stuff just say thats not transformers.

I saw Paulbot once at Foundain Gate before the my first meblourne meet.

I saw IHEC once at Highpoint before the Melbourne meet

I was very surpirsed to learn that Jaydisc was Amercian (because of prior contact on phone) and that he lives 10 mins away from my ex-girlfriends friend's house.

Well Griff and I are allways organising meetups in Brissie but the Queenslanders just can't be bothered!

Southside blows. Meet at Strathpine/northlakes/chermside and I might turn up to scare you.

I was wondering if anyone had any memorable experiences to share regarding encounters with TF fans they don't know?

Note: The experience can be good, bad, or neither - just whatever comes to mind. I clicked a radio button by accident and the thread title has a sad face icon that is misleading.

Back when Cybertron Optimus Prime had just come out, I went to a Sydney Toys 'R' Us store one day and looked through their TF stock.

I noticed another guy checking out the TFs as well. On one upper shelf, I saw that some Alternators were on sale, so I said to the guy "Hey, the prices for those alternators are not bad if you haven't got them and are interested."

He gave me one of those "You-don't-know-anything-noob" looks, and said "I only collect Binaltech."

I said "OK", but mentally I was like "Gee, no offence intended!" :0

For some reason that story gives me deja vu.......

i always wondered if toy collectors are more friendly than comic collectors...
