    Aww, thanks!

    Worst case scenario I can imagine Windcharger has two different magnets representing two differing polarities hence why they "look different".

    Wish all of these reached mainstream retail and saturation like they shold have..

    You should consider collecting Lego. Despite being as expensive as hell, we (lego collectors) don't have a scalper problem, it's practically stress free.

    Lego trading mini figures can be a scalper issue! At Fullerton toys r us they limit you to bags of six. Once they saturate it is easier to find the ones you want. I'm skilled at feeling bags and determining what's inside.

    I remember in the past I had trouble finding haz mat suit guys and spartans.

    I was never into minifigs. I guess I was more into the building of the sets. Minifigs do have some scalping problems, but it's not a problem that affects the whole Lego collecting community.

    Yes, but can you do THIS!

    YouTube - ‪Kinderwette Star Wars‬‏

    Okay that was very off topic. Back to TFS!

    I suppose I've been lucky where I am because I can go to any Target or WM and pretty much have free reign for bag gropage and there's no limit. Prior to the current wave, the TRUs in my area had an issue with limiting people to 5 each and they wouldn't allow for gropage. Now they're sometimes placed out on the candy walk-up for you to search through yourself.

    The easiest figure to find in this wave is the geisha woman or the radiation guy because of the geisha lady's "skirt" being the only thing shaped that way and the radiation guy's abundance of bag kibble. :)

    When I saw re-stocks of the old cases..I knew these guys were going to come back out. Probably see them at retail again too. I bet thats the last shot though.

    I went to the two Ross's in Garden Grove. The one on Chapman has a Lugnut and Strafe hiding behind some other toys, which could mean that Grapple and Windcharger were here! The one on Harbor had nothing.

    I picked up the Lugnut there...

    The one on Harbor had a lone Deepdive.

    The Anaheim Plaza one had Chopsaw.... Picked up an RTS Prowl from TJ Maxx. I guess that means it's possible for to RTS stuff to show up still.

    These assortments are so random...

    I have a Chopsaw you can have for retail (5 bucks) if you want.

    All together, grabbing things from Ross for any boardies that need em I have that Chopsaw, 1x Sunspot, 1x Deep Dive, 1x Strafe, 1x Tomahawk (which I'll keep for me if no one needs him).

    Went to the Orange Ross and TJMaxx. Ross had no signs of RTS, closest things were the HTFD Bumblebee and Ironhides. Guess it's possible for them to get them later?

    TJMaxx also had nothing. Saw some bins by the toys, but no TFs besides a RTS bumblebee.

    Still looking for a grapple and windcharger.


    Oh, and everyone who needs a Warpath should get them off HTS. I think disc10 still works for the discount, just order a few more things to try and get enough discount to eliminate most if not all of shipping. Ordering it will ensure you get Warpath, it's looking like a while for a Generations restock at stores. I hope I'm wrong about that part though!!

    EDIT: HTS got the new MU in stock this morning???? Cable is all gone.....my hunt continues....
