I need to seriously catch up on my sleep after last night, and before this weekend hits.

Stanley Cup championship and Botcon in 1 week.

Life is good.

Well that's a bummer ... if you get a chance, you should come out on Saturday at least and pay the regular day admission which doesn't cost that much money. If not, hopefully another time we can get u together with the rest of us!

I didn't think I'd find it, but the Schaumburg/Woodfield Toys R Us had Devastator this morning. I got the last one. I believe I was told that they only received one case (I'm not 100%) sure on this. So he's officially out in the wild in this area. Good luck!

Congrats, nice find. I'm definitely torn on Devastator still, I dunno if i really have the space for a titan class.

I saw the new RiD15 minicons at the Addison Walmart last night. Curiously, they were on a clearance peg for $5; I scanned them and they rang up at $4.93, so I bought one of each. Aren't these supposed to be $10 or so? They pretty neat, glad they aren't spring-loaded.

They're the $5 price point, which isn't bad for these little sets.

One lone Devastator at Golf Mill TRU as of 11:45am. :D

Golf Mill Toys r us on niles had the Tru exclusive "Clash of the Transformers" line. There was at least one full set remaining minus the hyperchange bumblebee (I bought the only one last night that was there).

If any of your kids are into shopkins they had an absolute ton of the new ones there. Had so many they had just a bin in the aisle full of one's they just dumped in.

TRU Golf Mill has a bunch of the new RiD15 figs, like the Deluxe Optimus, Sideswipe, and Bee repaints, as well as that big Megatronus.

Also, they had one CW Hotspot and Rook, which I bought. Price-matching with Target made Rook 15.49 instead of a crazy 19.99. Hotspot was 26.99, ouch.

Lots of new Star Wars stuff, those small Micro Machines and Titanium vehicles are aweome.
