I gotta ask, what's with the obsession over Windcharger? Or is he the only Scout RTS that got any form of release?

IMHO he is great all around with awesome G1 representation! There are only few scouts that I care for and Windcharger is part of the few that actually pack weapons. And that sucks majorly for the rest...'nuff said!

I would have loved to find it at that price. However I already have him and no CVS in my town.

To answer the above question, Windcharger was supposed to have been released at retail in the U.S., but the beginning of the DOTM line meant that the last wave of ALL Reveal The Shield line never hit any regular retail stores in great quantity, if at all. So he has only sporadically shown up, and only at discount stores like Ross, TJMaxx, etc. Those that have shown up go for high prices on eBay.

If only I weren't broke! Also waiting for BBTS to get the Battle in Space box set in (I had missed out on it when the local K-Mart had it, need to replace my broken Rodimus figure so may as well grab a con along with it.)
Still leaves my Cons unfairly outnumbered currently at 5 (and Grimlock and it will be 6) to 3 (after getting the set it would change to 5-4 or 6-4 if you include Grimmy) Add Windcharger and the scales remain tilted in favor of the
I don't count the couple of DOTM toys I snagged. Not to thrilled with anything from any of the movies. If anything I am eagerly awaiting the Prime series figures.

I was about to tell you to skip the thread if it bothered you...then I saw your small print at the end. Well played, sir or madam.
And...CVS? Wow....didn't see that coming.

This one has largely skipped the US as well. It was the Brits who were swimming in them.

It's a good thing I found mine at Ross; still $6 cheaper than CVS. Then again the CVS price is better than $45 that I had seen it advertised for online.

Also forgot to add that they showed up in much greater numbers in Canada than in the US. So much so that many American members here were asking Canadian members to hook them up.

I checked my local one but alas no Windcharger. I think the CVS here might be a little ahead of the game toy wise. They actually had DOTM stuff unlike most of the other retailers I check like these that have dust on the toys circa 1800's. I will however check any others I pass just on the off chance. TJ Maxx has actually been very kind to me in finding the rarities...and the not so rare...

I have no interest in this figure but a FREAKING PHARMACY?!
Well i guess it's not a big deal when the first movie guys came out i wanted Jazz and i never found him for a long time!
But then i found the final battle one at a Grocery store!

I found about 10 of these at ROSS, and TJmaxx stores, kept one, sold 4 at cost, and threw a couple in lots on eBay.
There's no way I'd pay 10$ for that Windcharger. He really isn't the best thing ever. It was a pain in the ass to get him to line up perfectly in vehicle mode. I was fine paying 3.99$ a piece for him, no way I'd spend 10.49$ especially from CVS.
All power to those who want it and can't find it though, $10.49, is better then 35$.

I find it ironic that the first RTS sightings where of Jazz (the most anticipated) at Walgreen's and what's probably going to be the last RTS sightings are of Windcharger (the most sought after) at CVS. I'm officially declaring Reveal the Shield the drugstore series!
Yup.
Yup.
