Several members of TFW2005 have reported finding Human Alliance Mudflap at TJ Maxx for $19.99. Seibertron went to his local TJ Maxx to look for it. He didn't find it, but he did find HA Bumblebee for $19.99. It sounds like if you want a good deal on Human Alliance figures, check out TJ Maxx. See the original post here with pictures of the figure and receipt.

It's worth getting this set if you liked RotF even a little bit.

Though, I think finding these at TJ Maxx will be harder than folks anticipate. The east coast may never see them at all due to how distribution moves out from California.

Yea, hard to find at a discount store, impossible at regular retail. 8-}

The inability to find this guy killed the HA line for me.

Jazz is out in my area, but if I can't get the whole set, I'm a lot less interested.

That and the new deluxe BB is much better IMO than the HA BB, so I'm kind of done with them.

The TJ Maxx here in NE Tenn had HA BB and Barricade, but the Ross had BB and Sideswipe for $14.99. I haven't checked back in a while, so I'm not sure if they have Mudflap now or not.

I work at Tuesday Morning and we usually get the same stuff as those two stores. Right now I'm waiting to see.

It's true. I haven't been seeing these in Florida, and there aren't any sightings here either. I saw a HA Sideswipe and a few HA BBs, but no Mudflaps.

Same here. I broke down and payed scalping rates for this guy on Ebay. I believe Hasbro decided not not make many of this guy. I wonder if it has to do with the accusation that Skids and MudFlap are racist.

Doubt it. They're still making brand new Skids and Mudflap toys in other class sizes. Often the last wave of any series become difficult to find as retail stores shift to stocking the season's latest product lines.

Besides, Hasbro's toy division didn't even bat an eye at the Mudflap/Skids controversy last year. No reason why it would become an issue now.

immediately after reading this on tfw, i went to my local tj maxx and found one HA mudflap (which i got for $19.00), 2 HA BB, TFA wreckgar and 2 TFA atomic lugnut.
i really like the HA mudflap figure, a long search that paid off.
it would be cool if they made a HA Jolt w/ leo and HA Sideways w/ alice/pretender

happy hunting everyone.

I gave up on fionding this guy in retail ages ago-best advice, go to ebay, pay a few bucks more cuz in the end you'll spend that in gas driving everywhere tryin to find him

I live in Winston-Salem, NC and i just found HA Mudflap for $19.99. So i guess he's started making his way down here. There were three of him and 3 HA bumblebees as well as a ton of Animated Wreckgars and Atomic Lugnuts. Plus, a lot of 25th anniversary G.I.Joes

Gah, I'll have to go there tomorrow then. I have business in the area, but I never would've gone in Maxx, especially for Transformers toys....

Now I'm all excited.
I only need Mudflap and Barricade, so I hope they have at least one of them. :S

Wed Sep 15, 2010 3:44 pm

I found HA Barricade and BB at mine. No Mudflaps though, damnit.

Wed Sep 15, 2010 8:29 pm

I absolutely HATE to ask and beg on here, but could any of you fellow Seibertronians who have found one at TJ Maxx or Marshall's care to help a fellow collector out? I currently have a roster of over a dozen other people all over the U.S. looking for this guy for me, but to no avail. If this is improper, I sincerely apologize. I simply figured if I'd ask, the majority of the people who have already found it would be on this thread. Again I apologize if I'm overstepping my bounds. I would help anyone if I was able...unfortunately my location hinders me.

Got mine at savannah georgia T J Maxx today, 3 in store got one to play with and one to keep MISB, so excited. SO there is one remaining, thanks Seibertron for the heads up!

Wed Oct 13, 2010 3:09 pm

The legends are true! I went to T.J. Maxx today and they had HA Mudflap for $19.99. So keep checking, it might not be too late to find one.

News Credits: 3 · Wed Oct 13, 2010 7:26 pm

Sadly, the only one in my area just had some other old figures (first HA Bee; the atomic lugnuts, etc.)

There are two TJ Maxx locations in my city and the toy section of both of them are a complete mess. They are just tossed on shelves in no particular order. I have only seen BB, Sideswipe and Barricade there. It's bad enough that I have to set foot in there but I have no patients to dig through the shelves looking for a mudflap however I would be ecstatic if I ever came across one.

HEY GUYS!!!!!
I just recently started collecting the HA figures(last week), since i thought they were pretty awesome! anywho, i purchased HA SKIDS at an HEB plus for $15.99 (my nephews told me about it, they got skids and bb there), unfortunately i didnt find a BB, but i did get skids for half of retail price. So i went in search of mudflap when i noticed that they were extremely overpriced on eBay! so i figured, its a rare fig, so my collector instincts kicked in..hehe,,,, i googled mudflap rare, and this forum popped out, so i sent out friend to scout one with no avail, then i called the second one in my vacinity again with no avail. so i call the one in my old college town, and eureka! i found one, so i told them to hold it so a friend could go pick it up and she did! hehe, friends...
I wanted to thank you all for the postings on where to find this little guy, now i know they have bumblebees there too, so i just told my firned to go to the the one near school to ask if they have em in the back. FYI, they have stuff in the back, but the bums are too lazy to restock.
I joined this forum right now to post my success. for those of u who havent found one, keep looking! and dont pay overprised ones on eBay!!!!
P.S. this is my first post! hehe

The fact that this figure was not released exactly how all the rest of the HA line have been is just absolutely stupid. I don't think there is any other way of putting it. Hasbro douched on this one.

Sun Oct 17, 2010 11:14 am

$19,99.
It's worth getting this set absolutely.

Sun Oct 17, 2010 10:05 pm

I picked up HA Mudflap at my local TJ Maxx in upstate NY - so if anyone is looking in the Northeast, they do exist. They also had several HA bumbles and several animated voyagers (wreckgar, lugnut, shockwave, blitzwing, etc.). The toy section was a mess, and the HA mudflap was sitting on a shelf by itself, so make sure you look around before you give up!
