    I have an extra Lugnut, loose or MISB have it your way. I'd gladly take that Grappel.

    Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure he meant he'll give you either a Lugnut or a Grappel for a Windcharger......not a Grappel for a Lugnut......

    lol I know the feeling man. Lately all I've been finding are Lugnuts and Deepdives. I've yet to spot another Grappel or Windcharger. I would get rid of one (windcharger), but like I said....not too keen on being called a scalper so I guess I'm stuck with it.

    Well, I got the stinkeye from a local collector ( I assume, as he wouldn't chat with me but was hawking the Ross figures) when I bought both grappels and both Lugnuts at the same time.

    I really don't care if he thinks I'm a scalper. I customize them, and need several for projects. (example: 6 Grappels for a Raiden custom!)

    I keep hoping against hope one of the Ross stores around here will have a Windcharger, to no avail so far. I'm thoroughly convinced the second I buy one off eBay, either a repaint or release will be announced, or I'll find one locally. =p

    LOL....oh well....you got to the store first.

    That's what happened to me. I broke down and let myself get scalped on Toywiz at $39.99 each (bought two before they jacked up the price to $46.95)....and sure enough...a month after I get them both in the mail, I find one at Ross :banghead:

    Between the Ross and TJ Maxx near my house, I've picked up 4 Lugnut and 3 Grappel for fellow fans the last few days. The Ross near me had RTS G2 Prime, Wreckger, Perceptor and Tracks for $6.99 for the last 2 days. They're still there this morning.

    That happened with several of the Alternators... we were in a small town in Arizona with one Target, one Wal-Mart and no TRU, so I ordered a couple to make sure I got them... and sure enough, I found them in store later on. I'll probably give it a few more weeks and see if I get lucky.

    I just wish it'd be harder to find character I didn't care about. When Legends G1 Wheelie was hard to find, I didn't go out of my way to turn him up.

    Last Friday I went to Ross and TJ Maxx. I found c7 Deep Dive and Lugnut at Ross and 2 Lugnuts (mint condition boxes) and c8 Strafe at TJ Maxx so I brought c7 and c8 boxes for loose collection. one mint condition box for sealed collection so I still need 2 windchargers, mint condition deep dive, and mint condition strafe. I have one mint condition lugnut with TJ Maxx's sticker for trade with what I look for or $9.99 plus "depending" shipping cost. I look for mint condition warpath and two G2 optimus prime.

    It seems like a failed attempt to insult someone who was just trying to assist in Culby's request to find what he or she was looking for.

    Really uncalled for IMO. Using Google to find uncommon words to make fun of people, is not what this board is about.


    back on topic- My local Ross's no longer seem to stock these. In the end, I never did find a Grappel. I just bought one from Amazon for a decent price. My Ross quests are over. Until there is word of another restocking of other hard to find TFormers, I am staying away from these overcrowded and unorganized stores. :lol

    Been religiously checking every TJ Maxx in the area since this was first posted with no luck. Anyone feel nice enough to snag me a Grapple and Wreck-Gar? Please?

    I found a Human Alliance Jazz at TJ Maxx yesterday, if that's noteworthy. So far, there had been tons of BBs and a few of the Sideswipe repaint at a few different stores.

    I hope you realize.....that with your high standards in looking for conditions of packaging, you're making it next to impossible to acquire the toys you want.
