Today I saw at one Ross:
Trubble Bubble (with driver stolen) Rage (with driver stolen) MARS 3-pack (with a MARS Trooper stolen) RoC Dragonhawk (with driver, blades, cockpit canopy, and missiles stolen) Mantis w/driver (untouched!) That's one shitty person, I tell ya.

Well, the last few days I have read through the 86 pages of this thread and seen the many victories Tankers (it appeared mostly on the West Coast) have had at Ross. I have also read the unlucky Tankers with 0 Ross stores in their state.
Next I read some Tankers seemed to get upset because they are missing out of a golden opportunity to add to their personal collections. Then it got out of hand, and Tankers started being called scalpers and then the great "toy war" began. It then dawned on me, one of the Greatest shows in the history of television, Seinfeld had predicted something very similar to this latest outbreak at Ross Dress for Less. It was in season 7, "The Sponge", when Eliane heard that a certain sponge was getting pulled off the shelf. Replace that with Cancelled Target Exclusive Wave 3 vehicles, 25th Anniversary Wave 5 vehicles, DOCI & AOCI 7 packs. Elaine rushes out to her pharmacy and BUYS EVERY CASE of Sponges. Then precedes to go out on a 25 block radius and wipes out every drug store clean of sponges so nobody else can buy them. So what happens next is poor George and Susan just need 1 box of sponges and can't find any on the shelf. |

I haven't found any yet. Not that they aren't in my area, other collectors just keep beating me to'em. Eh, oh well, that's the hunt, I guess...here's to hoping my trade list is worth something!

After looking at some of the pictures in this thread and other past Ross threads and seeing shopping carts filled to the top and floors being covered with 20+ Wave 3 vehicles, 15 Stingers, dozens of DOCI and AOCI 7 packs it reminds me of a neighbor friend I had years ago. He would have his parents run and to the store and buy him every single TMNT, TF, C.O.P.S., M.A.S.K. etc that was on the shelf. Then he would call you to come over to show you a "toy" he got.
WHen you walked into his house his entire floor was covered with those toys mentioned above. It wasn't that he was into every single one of those toy lines, but more just liked to Gloat that he had more than you. Just curious what the reason is for taking pictures of overloaded shopping carts and living room carpet made out of MISB RoC vehicles? |

Don't forget the unlucky tankers that do have a Ross but still don't have a chance in hell of ever finding anything good in it.

When George went to Elaines house asking to buy 1 case off her closet full of sponges (ROC) she would not sell him one and hoarded them all to herself.

She probably should have. A case of those sponges were just as popular in NY at that time of the episode as Roc wave 3 vehicles are the "flavor of the month" right now.
