Hey guys, has anyone started seeing the TF: P RID Wave 3s yet?

And, also, hope everyone's been well. If any of you guys are going to Botcon, lmk! It'd be fun to party it up some.

This is more a novelty report, but I stopped at a Tuesday morning on the border or Darien and Woodrigde, just to look for lulz. I found an RtS Tracks which I bought, a few DOTM HA basics including Whirl, who'd I'd never seen before, and a few Legends Prowls. The HAs and Legends I left there. Almost grabbed a few of the HAs, but I haven't bought any of the HA stuff at all to this point, and decided against starting now. Anyway, they had a few pegs of these generic robot toys packaged as Quick Change, and they were some terrible looking bugs and odd dinosaurs, but some of them were KO Transformers. There was at least one of the G2 Cyberjet styled figures, and then some upsized Armada minicons. They were sold in three different two packs, but they were the minis for the Requiem Blaster and the Skyboom Shield. The real strange ones were two packs of G1 Strafe and Lightspeed, and Cutthroat and Rippersnapper. They also had two packs of the Liozak guys, but they don't look like they're combination-capable. They look cheap like hell, but they were very interesting to look at.

Went out hunting today with the hopes of finding some new TFP figures, but that didn't end up being anything but a waste of gas. I did however get the club incentive Runamuck figure today in the mail. I guess with the issues of CC fraud the least that could be done was an earlier than expected release of this guy.

Also got mine today, too. Found out my card was one of the one's taken in the hack job...sadly, all they did was spend $150 at WalMart.com...I mean SERIOUSLY...if you're going to steal someone's card use it for something BIG! Not for flippin groceries...I feel jipped...

For anyone who still needs them, the Wal Mart on State in Rockford has deluxe Arcee and Ratchet. In fact they had every character. But only 2 cases were out...the store shelves still look completely barren.

Went a little further north in my hunt tonight, to the target up on rand rd south of palatine rd. Waste of time, very few TFs and nothing new. Ditto the Walmart on Rand and Mt Prospect.

Has anyone else noticed a near-complete lack of Transformers figures on the shelves the last year of so? The only store that has fully stocked shelves anymore is TRU. WalMart and Target are spotty at best, and KMart is good if you want TF figs more than a year old. One wonders if the stores not stocking these toys are the real reason why Hasbro had a bad quarter and overall sales...

Yeah I have noticed that. Walmart especially, those shelves have been barren for months and have not improved what so ever. Huge HUGE gaps between displays with lingering Botshot packs and the occasional Prime deluxe. Course, lets face it, Rockford has ALWAYS been terrible about getting any sort of distribution. I'm surprised we still don't have row after row of Dark of the Moon figures. I gave up going out and searching honestly, cause its a waste of gas.

TRU in Golf Mill had 2 Bot Shots Mirage and 1 Brawl a little while ago, I bought one of each. My Bot Shots empire doth grow...

Sorry I haven't been around in a while all. I continue to have issues loading the website...and I've tried everything I can think of to prevent it. But still nothing new to report in the Rockford area. Hope everyone had fun at botCon...one of these days I'll get back there again. But that probably won't happen unless they bring it back to the midwest again...especially as I FINALLY found a full time job (after more than three years and 1,500+ applications) and won't have as much free time as I used to.
