    Never found one to buy in any odd location , but I did see an Armada Hotshot in the holding tank of a port-o-potty at my local county fair 2 years ago.

    I was talking a leak looked down and saw Hotshot and i was like WTF?

    I left him where he laid.

    I'm fairly certain I bought my G1 Wheelie (yes, I'm the one that bought him...) in the local "random stuff" shop. They were mainly a carpeting shop, I think - that's why we were there in the first place - but I think we also bought snooker balls there at some point. It was basically a big warehouse full of carpets and "random stuff" :)

    A G1 Hot House, its box seriously battered but the toy itself perfectly preserved, in a deadbeat mall known to stock nothing but cheap home appliances, clothing and footwear. This in 1998, while accompanying my aunt there to purchase some kitchenware. Got the toy for her young son, who was overjoyed to receive it and still has it. The place has long since shut down.

    It wasn't Classics Astrotrain, now, was it? :D

    while shopping for a purse for the wife, i found G1 omega, G2 megs. i also found optimus prime and voltron sneakers.

    once i found classics seekers missiles in my friend's bathroom. that's when i found out that he also transformers his TFs in there sometimes.

    I saw some RPMs at the Dollar Tree. I wish they were deluxes or Voyagers, though.

    TJ Max in my area has Transformers toys that obviously came from Wal Mart because some of them still have "Only at Wal Mart" stickers on the packaging this included a few Wal Mart exclusive Masterpiece Skywarps.

    My school. No kidding I found a G1 Keychain Reissue Cliffjumper and 2 Real Gears in my school library. I asked the librarian if its part of the library and she said no so I took it home. All 3 now accompany my G1 Sky Garry on my MISC Shelf.

    I found boxed Energon TFs in $2 shops (& they're weren't KOs) some 4-5 years after the Energon line had ended. Who knows where they'd been keeping those figures all that time... :confused:

    Where they like Energon Scout classes because they might have been universe repackages.

    When my wife and I cleaned out our deep freeze to move in the replacement, a RID Crosswise was amongst the debris. He was far too waterlogged and damaged to salvage, though.

    I found Armada Hot Shot

    ...in 2008...

    I didn't buy because...he's just so yellow, that is an ungodly amount of yellow...
    I've seen less yellow on a sheet of yellow paper...yellow...
