Interesting, I instead remember how my wife is always nagging and how maybe it's time to put a permanent end to things.

I've seen that Jazz costume in person, even though I've been told before it didn't exist. They had someone in that same Jazz costume at my local theater for the 86 movie back when I was a kid. I remember somebody had said they had seen Thundercracker too, but he wasn't there when I went. If it isn't the same costume, then there is more than one set of these. Awesome find.

There have to be more suits out there. These two couldn't make it around ALL the appearances.

I dunno, man. Those suits are plenty dirty.
However, I was thinking that since they were found in PA, and I live in MD it's definitely possible they were the ones that were "local" to me. They had things at the ToysR'Us right up the street with them, they had the Captain Chesapeake Party contest where they would show up, the Baltimore Zoo. They got around, and that was just here.
