    Hey guys,

    I'm out in the states (San Jose), visiting for work (from the UK).

    Where should I be going to find tfs?

    Visited Target, TRU and the flea market and disappointed with what I've seen so far.

    Ideally looking for G1 / RID / 3RD party stuff or anything I cant get in the UK!

    Any help much appreciated :)

    Basically? The best place to hunt remains online, regardless whether you are in the UK or not.

    Retail in the US is probably not much better than the UK

    Did you try our CA sightings thread? Probably some folks in there will have an idea. Good luck and have fun hunting.

    I'm in the area and have practically resorted to buying everything online... Once and a while you see some awesome finds (to me it seems rarer and rarer), but most of the time its the same old same old.

    Thanks guys thats very helpful, I will check out Ross and Marshalls tonight if I can.

    It was Berrysea I went to and yes it was ghetto. One guy had Primus and there was some movie stuff, G1 Flattop jet only and obviously a bunch of knock off stuff that was pretty cheap.

    What are dd's by the way? :)
