Walmart in Mt Prospect had 2 TFP Cyberverse Wheeljack/Starhammer sets, then I bought one. $20!

EDIT: There also 2 TFP Shadow Strike Bumblebees there too; I nearly bit, looks good in gray.

Walmart on rt 53 and lake st has 2 TFP Dead Ends RIGHT NOW.

EDIT- They also had one each of Dlx Airachnid and Cyberverse Ironhide, but I bought them so it's not really a sighting. Damn I gotta slow down with the buying.

Still nothing in NW IN stores as of yet.

I think I'm gonna chase down some FOC love.

This evening Target in Yorktown Mall had a single FoC Optimus. And the Movie Trilogy OP w/ trailer clearanced for $15, bought one, yay! Also that silver Movie Voy Starscream, $12 and change. Might go back for one.

Target Rosemont had the same stuff they've had since the mighty thunder lizards roamed the planet, kings of all they surveyed- namely, a bunch of TFP Bumblebees and overpriced DOTM Deluxes.

From eariler this evening: Marshalls on Butterfield Rd had a few of the DOTM Cyberverse Bumblebee sets for $10, and the big CV set with the "crashed" Bee, Ironhide, the repaint of Bee's Battle Bunker, etc., for $20. Best of all, theu had one Gens Sky Shadow for 8 and the Darth Maul Sith fighter thing crossover for 10, half the going price, so I bought those two.

TRU on Butterfield had several FoC OP and Jazz, no Shockwave. Also the Mini-mates KITT, which I bought because of the awesomeness.

Still nada near me.

Zero FOC seen or show on store searches.

Have seen remains of latest Prime figures, etc, but nothing new otherwise......
