My Crazy Turbo Find.

I made the post I found a great shape leader 1 about 7 months ago:

My wife and I (with our 2 younger kids) have a Toy Collector show come through our city about 2-3 times a year. I have been looking for leader 1 for 10 years and never saw any GoBots I recognized.

Yesterday, the toy show was back, and as we were driving there, my wife asked if I was looking for anything. I said Turbo, but I have never seen him, and all the ones on eBay are in bad shape, and they want crazy money. Yesterday, walking through, I started digging in a loose box of old figures, and Found Blue Leader 1 in perfect shape, and 2 Turbos, one was missing arms, and the other was missing wheels. Both have a lot of paint chipping. I asked how much per figure, expecting $20+, but he said $2 per figure. So I bought Leader 1, Turbo with no wheels, and the guy told me to just take the other Turbo for free to see if I could combine them. So $4 total. I already ordered a new set of Tires off eBay. Pretty excited. Now I just need to find Scooter!
