Went to a TRU, they had NOTHING. Went to Target, they had NOTHING. Went to another Target, they had NOTH-wait, what's that buried behind two Prime Helmets, and under a pile of Real Gear and FAB figures? Wha-what? What the hell? Could it be? NO WAY!!!!!!...

Found me a Voyager Rescue Ratchet, and a Voyager Thundercracker! AND I BOUGHT THEM! No ebay needed! I nearly wet myself. :grin:

I was not going to get a Rescue Ratchet. But, over time, he grew on me. He looks pretty good, actually. At least in his Ambulance form. He's still in his box, so we'll see how he looks in Bot mode. He looks pretty good on the back of the box though.

Thundercracker is just really nice. Been wanting him for a long while now. :) Today was a very good day. :cool:

That's the thing. I've been reading from good members here that they see them practically EVERYWHERE. Yet, in the crappy area where I live, nothing. In fact, I found these where I don't live. I was far away from home earlier today, at stores I have not been to. :)

I live in an unpopulated area and I found Rescue Ratchet & Thundercracker a week ago when I was trying to hunt down the movie score.

yeah man, good for you!! Remember it has nothing to do with what other people can readily find it has to do with you want and what you CAN'T find in your area. Cuz when you do finally find that one toy(s)that you've been looking for it feels like gold when it's finally in your hands!!!

Congrats on your find! Something tells me that you just bought two TF's someone was hiding for themselves. If I'm right, your joy will be someone elses misery. :P

Good find man. I'm glad fortune finally fell upon you. I know you've been waiting for newer waves to come to your area for WAYYY too long.

That's a fantastic feeling, congrats!

I'm almost hoping I don't see Thundercracker again, as well as G1 repaint Starscream. I passed on them before, but now I'm really into the movie SS mold, and I'd love to get the other two versions of it, but I've really got to rein in my TF spending, my wife's getting suspicious!

My best friend told me earlier today that our walmart got a restock of Thundercracker and Rescue Ratchet and boy i got lucky, when i actually got down there they only had around 3 of each. So pretty much if ya find those suckers, snatch em up :P

edit: If i can find my camara going to try to get them up, though thats if it still works >_<.

All the G1-style repaints are about all I ever see now but that's only if I see anything! Glad you got what you wanted(I never had such luck with Leader Megs and now they don't make them anymore :sad: )
That's why I joined NADA.
