The TRU on Butterfield had the whole FOC Starscream wave in multiples, minus Kickback, on Friday. They also had the Blaster and Grimlock Voyagers.

And, which ever one of you guys it was that grabbed the only Blaster around 11am Friday when I was standing right there, you are a meanie. I just wanted to look at it, and you bought it. I didn't want it, but I saw it like half a second before you picked it up. I'll probably never see another one in the wild. Damn your fast acting!
*I'm totally joking, but I was about to pick him up and look at him. I snoozed and I losed I guess.

I can answer both I believe: TRU is 22.99 for Generations and I think 24.99 for Prime. Meijer is 24.99 for both, im 100% sure. It is a bit of a markup, but honestly, I was glad to spend the extra ~9$ to make sure I wouldnt have to hunt for those two. I'd go thru that much in gas.

At Meijer's they were 24.99. I only remember that at TRU Grimlock was about 27.95 after taxes.

I found some of the Beast Hunters Cyberverse figs at Target by Yorktown Mall. They had Bulkhead, Optimus, and Predaking. I bought OP and P-king. I had a $5 gift card, and when I got home I realized the cashier only rang up one of them. Karma.

Walmart in Villa Park had a few of the BH Legion figs, I got Bumblebee, Smokescreen, and Airachnid. These guys are fun.

As of earlier today, the TRU on Golf rd. in Niles had two cases of the FoC deluxe save with Kickback/ Starscream. From what I could tell they must have just been unpacked, both full boxes were on the pegs.

Sadly, still no FoC Grimlock voyager wave :(

Huzzah! Found Beast Hunters Voy Optimus and Predaking at Rolling Meadows Walmart, bought one of each and left one P-king behind. $23 each. This after I hit 3 Targets in the W burbs with no luck.

As it turns out, my local Rosemont Target had them too! $20, and my Redcard got me a buck off each, so they came out $8 less for the pair. Returning the Walmart set tomorrow.
