Ordinarily we’d not report on a toy showing up at every retail outlet in the land – but I think you will agree this is not any ordinary toy sighting. The much-sought after Reveal the Shield Voyager assortment – which includes Lugnut and the much-desired Grapple – was sighted earlier this week at Ross stores along with Windcharger. They are now also turning up at TJ Maxx as well! The implication seems to be thus – check those discount and close-out stores folks, the last unreleased waves of Reveal the Shield are filtering through to these outlets! Don’t pay the silly Ebay markups without checking out you local stores first! Find out if anyone near you has been finding these hot toys – and share news of your own findings – in our Transformers Sightings section.

Bought an RTS Voyager Grapple and Lugnut, as well as an HFTD Brawn at a Durham, NC Ross today. They also had several ROTF Leader Battle Hook OP and some RTS Voyager Seaspray.
At a Marshalls, there were some HA Bumblebee, some scout class figures, some DX ROTF figures, RTS Seaspray, RTS Heavy Load…

My local TJMaxx had 1 Grapple and Lugnut on the shelves. Don't know how many times they have restocked but I have hit this store like 3 or 4 times during the last couple of weeks so I know they have restocked.
I'm just stoked to finally have Grapple after all this fruitless searching.

You scored a grapple! No need for a frown! Wreck-gar is more common so you'll be able to score one eventually.

I went to Pennsylvania these past two weekends and stopped in the same TJ Maxx both times. The first time they only had the Legends and this last time I scored Grapple. I believe they do re-stock but it's completely random as to what they get. your best bet is to keep calling or stopping in. I still don't have wreck-Gar

There's some new TJMaxx Grapple sightings in Texas this week. I saw one myself, only one though.

I have called and stopped numerous times and they now know who I am. They keep telling me to check back, but i think they were a one time thing.

just something Ive noticed. We absolutely blanketed the city we live in and purchased all the wreck gars windchargers lugnuts and grappels for the people in our transformers club. if you cant find anything at these stores more then likely its already been picked clean as we havent noticed any restocks.

I found two grapples. I picked up Deep Dive and Lugnut jsut for kicks. No Strafe though.

Would be nice if all the TJMaxx stores had received Mudflap. Plenty of Barricade showed up.

Found a spare Strafe and Tomahawk but no Grapple. Anybody wanting to trade for a Grapple, look at my trade thread and send me a PM.

This is very off topic but i notice that TJ Maxx's brother store TK Maxx (in the UK) now stocks things like Canadian HFTD Deluxes and Powercore Combiner Wave 2 and 3 2 packs. as well as the Minicon 12 pack.
Now if they actually got some Human Alliance leftovers in like Mudflap & Barricade that would be super handy.

Nice find.

Found a Strafe and Grapple at TJ Maxx. I just took the Grapple but MrByatis was to lazy for me to get the Strafe for him even though he wanted it.

Interesting idea. Would love more discounted transformers.

I wonder if it would be productive to contact TJX or Ross to encourage them to get more toys…probably not, but anything is worth a shot.
TJ Maxx has an active Facebook page and I posted the suggestion. They said they would look into it. (Their exact words: "Thanks for reaching out about getting more of these toys. We'll share this feedback with the appropriate buyers.")
If you get a sec, chime in…I figure the more people they see demanding the toys, the more likely it is that they'll try to get more. (After all, more profit for them….)
They appear to really like "haul" pictures, so if you got Glorious Lugnut (or the other cool, but not-so-glorious RtS toys), posting a pic and receipt might get their attention. (You can apparently tag your photos to get their attention, too.)
If your toy hunting has led to sales of other stuff they sell – clothing, etc – post that as well.
(Marshalls has a FB page too, but it's the same company, so….)
Oh, and here's the Ross Stores FB page. I posted the suggestion there too, and they also said they would try… " I can't promise that we'll get more Transformer toys, but I will send your comments to the appropriate teams."

I did pick him up. not sure if my son wants him or not.

I could use that G2 Optimus,. Been looking for one.
darkjedi187
Well made another round of stops today and all I could find was a g2 optimus. Again if anyone can help me acquire a grapple I would really appreciate it.

I found a Lugnut at TJ Maxx yesterday so they're not done yet at least in N.C. I wish they'd put out some more G1 legends though.
