Weapon: Double-Barreled Assault Missile Launcher
AS of 11:00am, the Downers Grove TRU still had one MP Prime left. They used to have two :DANCE:

Thanks for the tip Hip-Hoptimus Rime. :BOWDOWN: :BOWDOWN:

Went into TRU on Butterfield today at about 12:15 and they had a ton of things: Prime 1st Edition Cliffjumpers, Vehicons, Arcee's, 2 to 3 MP Optimus Primes, and 3 or 4 MP Thundercrackers. Picked up a 1st Edition Vehicon and left the rest. Get there while you can.

Had a lot of fun today at the Kane County Fairgrounds. Got there around 8:30am this morning and was there until about 1. I haven't been in over a year ... maybe 2 years. Can't believe how big it's gotten since I first started going in 2002. There were some good Transformers finds there today. There was some loose stuff there but I did see at least 4 dozen or so boxed G1 items there today. Hope some of you were able to make it there. Good times!

St Charles TRU had some FE Arcees, Starscreams, and a Terrorcon Cliffjumper. There was a case of Scouts on the top shelf and TRU started their sale with Weaponizers for $23.99 or $22.99. That's a great deal on a figure that size.

I wish I'd been paying more attention and had known about the Kane County Toy Fair. My daughter's riding lesson was cancelled and we could have gone.

I could have sworn that the Weaponizers were going to be $19.99, I really thought I'd read that somewhere. Still, 24 is pretty good, I'll be getting OP tonight. My daughter got TFP FE Arcee yesterday, awesome.

I was at the Kane county fair, it was so-so from what I saw. There was a decent amount of boxed G1 like Seiberton mentioned, didnt check many prices because I wanst in the market for them, but I did see the tag on a boxed G1 Jetfire- $330.

One guy was selling his loose 2008 Universe TFs, and since they were part of his collection previously, they had all accessories and instructions. Got a Universe Sideswipe and Sunstreaker for $20 each.

Anyone going to Toycon this coming Sunday? Anyone been before and know how good of a show it is?

Rockford TRU has FIVE MP-10's on the shelf. They are at the 120.00 dollar price tag however. Get the feeling they'll be sitting there for a long long while at that price. Unless some filthy scalper snags them all up, which I have not counted out yet. I'm gonna go back when I get home from Minnesota and see if they're still there, if they're not I won't be surprised in the slightest.

Funny thing, if I didn't have 1 already, I'd gladly pay $120.00 for that figure. It's still cheaper than the Takara price.

Did you see the image from one of our users on the homepage of Seibertron.com and in this news story? Based on those images, I don't think any of us need to rush to the store to get this figure.

Yeah, I saw. That is good news, as well as ridiculous.
