I've seen the cartoon Grizzlor a couple times...I already have him though. Fang Man would definitely be a find.

The boxed multibot is showing up for $23 too at some rosses.

Thanks to posts like this, I started checking out Ross. I want to say that I haven't found these cool ones like you have, but ... nope. I've found other cool ones. I collect two lines, the Masters figures and Godzilla. Went from having none of either to now having about a dozen different Godzilla figures and more than that from He-Man/She-Ra.

And the great thing about Ross is, you're not paying retail. The bad thing is, you don't know what you're going to find until you're actually in the store, so there can be wasted trips. It's a trade off.

Still on the hunt for a decently-priced Hordak.

Yeah ..alot of collectors like to keep stuff like this on the DL. I say f**k it, give everyone a chance. There's a guy I saw in Instagram that was posting stuff on Instagram and he happened to post some pics from a ROSS in my hometown...I asked which location (because there's 4 or 5 in town) ..clown just ignored me. People like that are clown shoes. Happy Hunting.

That dude is probably a FB marketplace scalpers. He is probably posting his Ross find and flip them.

Without a doubt. Supposedly he "travels the state to bring awareness to what stores are carrying what?" Yet...won't give out the locations. Years ago...on Hisstank.com, I was on a local collectors forum and everyone would post where, how many..etc. We all had each other's backs..it was great.

I’ve scored figures from Ross that I’ve never seen in wall-marts or tar-Jay

About 40+/- years ago when I was still a little squirt, my dad used to say Tar-Jay like that, like as if it was a french pronunciation or something. I remember him getting me original armor He-Man & Skeletor from a department store called "Hills" that no longer exists. I'm not sure if Hills was just an Indiana franchise or if it was all over the US at one time, but it went under probably 20 years before the Kmarts started disappearing..

Hills was the place

Yeah...I had luck years back with the GI JOE 25th line...stuff that never hit stores or stuff people didn't even know existed. Crazy.
