In my area of charlotte north carolina I hit a few stores of Ross and TJ Maxx and found nothing but Marshall's had special ops jazz, fallback, turbo tracks, human alliance bumblebee, others. Deluxes were 6.99 for reveal the shield and 7.99 for revenge of the fallen, and HA Bumblebee was 16.99 - I passed on HA bumblebee... am I crazy?

I was in that same TJMaxx on Friday at 5pm. There were numerous RTS Wreck-Gars & Perceptors, a RTS Bumblebee, and a few ROTF pieces.

Called TJ Maxx in Des Moines, they apparently have even more.

Happy hunting.

Was it the one on Collins Road? That is the only one I know of in CR. I didn't see any Wreck-Gars or BB. I was there about 8:30 Friday night. I am gonna go back cause they still had Animated Atomo Lugs for 7 bones, I still need to pick that one up.
Coralville TJ Maxx only had the HFTD Leaders, they were only $25 though, not bad.

I did see leader class starscream at a ross for 20 bucks, was tempted but passed.

WOW! No offense, but what a waste of time and gas. I really think the whole news thing is a hoax, especially with Windcharger and Grapple. Yeah, a few have found them, but big whoop. Might as well be a hoax to most of us as no one but Californians have found Windcharger and only two people by my count. For the gas and time I am glad I got mine online....

You're flat out wrong. I'm on the opposite end of the country in Florida and found a Windcharger just last night.

Also ditto, though in Colorado, not Florida.

I just found these 3 plus Deep Dive at the Ross' outside of Atlanta.

I had begun to give up hope, but when i saw Grapple, I nearly slid into the toy shelf like a runner sliding for home plate.

Picked up the last Windcharger ($4.99) and second to last Strafe ($9.99) at the Ross in Old Town Alexandria, VA during my lunch break today. Have not hit the nearby Marshall's or T.J. Maxx yet, but at least I can confirm two more sightings.

The shelves were the typical piles of random toys, and you had to dig behind the pegs to find Windcharger. At least the two Strafe's were on the endcap and readily visible.

Happy hunting.

hey bro im in norfolk va. Do you think if you find 2 grapples would you sell me one for a reasonable price?

Tue Jun 14, 2011 11:08 pm

Nothing at the TJ Maxx or Marshalls in Manhattan, no surprise. If anyone has a spare Grappel, Deep Dive, Windcharger, or Chop Saw for a reasonable price, PM me.

Punctuation, basic sentence structure and laying off the caps lock would go a long way towards more people actually reading your post. Jus' sayin'.

He used large bold uncapitalized non-punctuated letters, not caps. I personally hate that size, but sometimes it's necessary. In this case it wasnt.

P.S: My large, uncapitalized, non-punctuated, bold letters was an example of what he did. It was necessary. Or was it? *dun dun dun*

Why do you comment on damn near everything I post? Why do you not bother to even read what I'm responding or referring to? Why am I even bothering to respond to you? Your posts are generally useless or reposting jokes you read earlier in a thread as your own. You keep trying so hard to fit in with the "cool kids" when you should seriously just be yourself and not some toolbag I keep having to put on my ignore list. I don't even expect you to read all of this post to put together a coherent counter argument. So again, why do I bother?

Hey Flux, just put him on the block list. That's what I did

I can't respond to you? It was my mistake, but I was responding to what you had on your quote: "keep hope alive." Maybe he edited his post because when I saw that post, it was just that text and some normal-sized bold gibberish above it.

Shouldn't you just keep me there if you think I'm a toolbag? It's much more easier to avoid things like these.
