Well, I'm in a different country but for what it's worth I found Roller in a charity shop and Stalker (minus removeables) in the box of toys in a doctor's waiting room.

Every few months my church has a rummage sale. Once in a while a find more recent Transformers, but I've also found accessories for some G1s. Also, I'd try garage sales, haven't been to any in a while, but I know you can sometimes find some good stuff there.

A Friend of mine goes to car boot sales a lot. He got an almost complete Metroplex for 50p!

I have had some stellar luck with garage sales in the past myself. Actually found a G1 Thundercracker at a garage sale about 10 yrs back...he was in HORRID shape (even worse shape than my very own TC..did not think that was possible), so it was easy to haggle with the owner on price.

Ya never know what you'll find when you hit garage/estate sales!

Unfortunately, Goodwills are not accepting toys due to the toy recall lists that happened last Fall. So, that will not be the best place to find G1 TF figures. So, I would try other ways....garage sales and thrift stores, unless they are not accepting toys either.
