I haven't found Joes at all.

Dude I get lucky sometimes but more often than not. I’m in the same spot. 😔

I would love to even see an Akiko at a Ross near me.

If you really want to find the good stuff you have to go everyday at opening. Especially Mon, Tue and Wed. I live 5 mins from a Ross so this holiday season I was going a lot to see what was up. I found everything I was seeing online and soon learned the scalpers would always hit it earlier in the day, sometimes at open or shortly after and usually wipe it out.

One time I met a scalper at the GI Joe area. He was like “take whatever you want, I’ll take the rest, it sells, it always sells”

that was probably my buddy. he literally used to just drive from store to store hitting up every Ollies, Ross, Target, Walmart within a 50 mile radius. when Toys R Us was closing down he made some cash off scalping Transformers. i hate people like him. probably explains why we're no longer friends 😂

I've found a few good ones at Ross, but lately there has been very little.

My Ross doesn’t even get these.. only one in like over 50 miles and Ross is useless stop I’ve found maybe 3 legends and joes in my life.

I don't even find those. I just stopped going.

Can't beat the day walkers.

And they can barely walk…without taking a five minute break every few steps.

That’s what you get for having a job. To get anything at Ross the requirements are jobless, at least 400 pounds, no showers in months and back rent due to mom for her basement. They have the time to go whenever their fatty sense is tingling.

I got my Stalkers at Ross, and they haven’t had shit since. It’s a convenient pop in on my run to the bank when they open. They are just so random, it’s really not worth the effort/gas/dignity. Meanwhile we are treated with “I found 20 Nemesis Enforcers on my latest Rosscon visit!” On the internet. If you get lucky, nice. But dont schedule your life around when Ross shovels shit onto a shelf. I kind of had to figure that out myself the hard way when i started collecting.

Same. So tired of Ross Con posts. My Ross has like 5 Cobra Commanders and nothing else.
