My luckiest find was the variant Shipwreck. I picked him up, and didn't even know he was a variant. My next luckiest was BlackHead Destro. It was when Target had all the single cards on sale. Nobody looked at the comic packs, and there he was.

i picked up a box labeled matt's toys at a yard sale for $12.00, inside was a complete rattler w/damage panels etc. about 8.o M, a bunch of loose joes, one of them a 83 v1.5 snake eyes complete !
it was cool, the best part was the castle greyskull ( i am by no means a MOTU fan, but that castle was cool) there my lil pony, star wars,some john wayne dolls, a bunch of stuff. the box was a lil small then a tv box.

When I got back into Joes the figure I most wanted to buy was at the second store I went to.
I consider that GOOD luck because I was expecting it to take a dozen stores, months of searching.
