Spotted a Flagg in my spare room that is looking for a new home

Someone in Iowa wants this bad boy

I live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area in Minnesota, but I grew up in Waterloo. Was down visiting family a week ago and went to stop by the TRU there, and was shocked to see it was gone.

Though, I guess I can't really be too surprised. I frequent three TRUs up here in the Twin Cities, and one of those closed about a month ago...

If anyone in the Iowa City area needs a SDCC Desert Duel set, I have an extra one someone can have at cost.

I found a case of the new 2 packs at the Davenport TRU yesterday. I bought the Gung Ho pack, but left the others.

Anyone local intersted in over 400 figures with 95% of them in great condition with new O-Rings. From 1983-1994, with most of them being 85-94, minus the sub teams like night force and tiger force(although there are a few tiger force figures). Well over 200 file cards and I am in the process of matching up accessories. Most have some of there accessories but are missing 1 or 2 from being complete. Can get a spreadsheet to you if you are really interested, looking to get around $1600 OBO for the lot.

Anyone collecting Classified figures, Elmore Target in Davenport has a single Viper as of right now.

There's a healthy supply of Wave 2 retro figures at the Muscatine Walmart, except Scarlett; they only have 1 of her still on the shelf.

Judging by the activity on this thread, I might be alone here. Just in case I'm not, Elmore Walmart in Davenport has Classified Zartan, Roadblock, and Scarlett.

I've only been lurking on the tank for the last eight years.
I live out near Council Bluffs.
I have only ever seen 2 classified figures on the shelf.
