    I'm not really a hunter. I don't have the time or dedication. Plus, I'm just not savvy (I'm admittedly pretty bad at keeping up with releases and distribution). I'm sure that I could be if I applied myself, but I'd rather locate something after the dust has settled. So maybe I'll come across one by accident, or luck out with someone on here that's unloading him at a modest price. It's happened either way for me in the past.

    I've also been very fortunate to know some local hunters that hooked me up with a ton of stuff over the years. I can't imagine where I'd be without them.

    Color me lazy.

    I should check them out the next time I'm in the city, because I've honestly never stepped foot inside Wieners for years. Actually now that I think about it, the last memory I even have of that store involves a song that a friend of mine & I sang about penises, roughly 15 or so years ago.

    *Gets his lazy crayon*

    I found out about the Marshall's Reveal the Shield sightings three days after it was first reported and I still found a ton of stuff, so maybe I'm just luckier than most.

    If anyone finds any extra Grapple, Lugnut, or Windchargers that they want to sell, let me know! I'll gladly pay for them!

    Please if anyone can grab a Deepdive for me, PM me. I'm in Canada and will pay a little more than cost plus shipping for your troubles. Thanks!

    I didn't find jack at Ross. I went next door to TJMaxx and found Legends Prowl, Perceptor and WRECK-GAR! No Windchargers or Grapples though.

    If anybody here needs a Perceptor shoot me a PM as I already have him. If I come across any more figures, I'll let you guys know.

    Japan/Asia will get Windcharger sooner or later. Same thing happened with the initial Classics releases later as Henkei and vice versa. Japan is just now getting (well, in a month or so) the G1 Jazz Legend (and Bumblebee) that came out several years ago. a Spiffy metalized Windcharger paint scheme is coming.. mark my words ;)

    Five bucks says it won't come out for another three years and you have to sign up for a credit card to get one!

    Based on your logic, no news or sightings of new toys should ever be posted. It would be a pretty boring board if that were the case.

    Agreed.

    I've hit a total of 3 Ross, 2 Marshalls and 2 TJMaxx. I managed to find Leader Starscream and Leader Blades Prime for $25 each. I think I found all the G1 legends figures but I'm racing through stores and shoving everything I find in my cart...gotta go to work after this.

    I'll be posting my extras later on tonite when I get home or tomorrow in my sales/trade thread if anybody needs help acquiring these.

    Just got my 4.99 Windcharger at a Ross in Washington state.

    Not paying 30+ is awesome.

    Lucky! Maybe they'll hit GA eventually, that is if Scalpers don't nab them before people get a chance to find them. I wish Ross was a "returns = store credit only" place b/c that would make a Scalper think twice if they might get stuck with the toys.

    would be nice. though it would penalize legitmate people though. If i find any extras and can afford them i will pick them up for folks who cant get em.
