    Comics R Us had bootleg tfs?
    I know of the dinobots, combiner teams that Gardenvale Collectables and the Gofigure places sell, but I thought CRU was pretty good?
    When I've bought things from there, they usually pull out a guide (want one!) of the figure and accessories to make sure i haven't been ripped off.
    Not jumping to their defense, but interested to know what may be fake.

    Only one that looked dodgy (to my knowledge) was the Shockwave, but I thought it might have been a diaclone or the radioshack version?

    All Star is nice, havent been there in ages but a fair hike =(
    I think the owner split from Comics R Us to make his own shop

    I should clarify:

    All the TFs in the display case by the stairs are obvious KOs, the "Shackwave" of uncertain lineage.

    I don't recall seeing a KO TF priced for sale, but the presence of KO TFs in any store selling G1 toys, is enough to make me look twice and closely at any purchases.

    That's toyco astro magnum (basically diaclone shockwave- but without the dia, or the clone)
    Also, does all star comics have any larger g1s, such as shocky or omega? I've been looking for omega. I think I'm getting trypticon from CRU but I need a decent description of what major toys they have and anything worth mentioning (all star, of course)
