New member, so first, hello. Haha.

I went to the Target in Chicago on Addison and Grace I believe (the one near Kedzie), and they were sucked completely dry of figures.

I'll be making some rounds tomorrow, so I'll be sure to keep you fellow Chicagoans/Illinois..ans.. updated!

Heads up, there are a handful of '74 Bumblebees and Barricades at the Kohls in Lincolnwood Mall for my Chicago heads.

Rockford Area Retail

Postby Starscream227 » Fri Aug 17, 2007 10:54 am

The Super Walmart on Perryville in Rockford seems to have decided to shift out all their backstock. These can be found
in the clearance area between Lawn And Garden and Hardware;

5- Classics Astrotrain
2- Classics Megtron
2- Classics Optimus Prime
1- Classics Devastator

3- Alternators Rumble

1- Cybertron Optimus Primal
1- Cybertron Metroploex ( The Package is Damaged ).

A bit of a note; Though they're in the clearance section, they're still going for Retail Price.

The Toys R' Us up the road a bit had nothing to note but the following;

1- Titanium Soundwave
3- GI Joe 25th Anniversary 5 Pack

Super Wal-mart in Peru (newly opened, by Kohl's at I-80) had big piles of movie stuff of all types...but no BB'08s. Leaders of Prime and Megs, tons of Deluxes, all the Voyagers except for Blackout (I got the last one)...big deals afoot

Last night I stopped by the TRU in Niles, on Milwaukee and Golf, and they had two Cybertron Primus' let, sans the unicron head.

I also went to the Wal-Mart on Algonquin, near Woodfield Mall. They had a lot of leftovers, including:

2 Classics Cliffjumper
2 Classics Ramjet
3 Classics Jetfire
4 Classics Optimus Prime

5+ 20th Anniversary Optimus Primes

Alt. Rollbar and Skids

And a bunch of Cybertron figures, including t-rex Megatrons, Skywarp, Demolishor (Demolisher?), and LOT of the smaller figures.

When it comes to movie figures, they didn't have anything but a single deluxe Brawl, in the clearance aisle.

Oh, they had some Robot Heroes as well, including the pack with Megs, OP, Skywarp, and Mirage.

Hope this helps someone!

The Kohl's in Mt. Prospect on RT.83 had at least three 08 Bumblebee's left as of last night.

EDIT: I listed this sighting at the wrong store in the sightings listings. It was at this one.
