speaking of toys on order, did anyone order and receive Windblade from Hasbrotoyshop?

What comic book did she come with?

Kmart can go cram it, they are just awful. I'd like to wait to pick up Jetfire at Target, for the 5% off, but I'm not sure I could resist if I saw him at TRU.


Jetfire was a little bit more at TRU -- $46.99. Originally, I had pre-ordered him at Amazon -- but since they pushed his release date back, I couldn't help myself and bought him on the spot (it's a NICE looking figure). So I just cancelled my Amazon order.

Walmart in Villa Park, Rt 83, had a lot tonight. AoE Voy Drift and Slog, a couple each, at $19.97, Deluxe Windblade, Jhiaxus, Crosscut, and Whatsisname, marked 14.99 but might be 9.97 (that's what I paid yesterday at different Walmart), and AoE One-Step Stinger, 7.97. You go now!

Downers Grove Toys R Us on 75th had the new kreo micro changers.

Really not a fan of these blindbags. Got 2 Scattershots, a Frostbite, and a Sunstreaker with a broken leg.

With that in mind, if anyone is looking for a Scattershot or Frostbite, and looking to trade, let me know.

Rolling Meadows Meijer had a case out of the Windblade wave as of Thursday. Sorry for the delay in reporting!

Golf Mill TRU had 3 Voyager Slogs and 1 Voyager Drift with the other group of AOE Voyagers on the higher shelf, separate from the Slogs.

Golf Mill Walmart had 2 Voyager Drifts and 1 Slog for the $19.99 price, along with some Roadbusters, Sky-Bytes and over-priced deluxes including Rattrap and Tankor.

Golf Mill Target had the Skrapnel and Tailgate waves. I'm pretty sure it was that store but it is possible that I'm mixing it up with the Legends toys at Rosemont Target, though I don't think I'm mixing it up. 1 Voyager Hound was at Rosemont Target.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who stopped by the Seibertron.com booth at TFcon. The show was a lot of success for us and a lot of fun. We are looking into a few future shows and will keep all of you posted as to where you can see us next! Still working toward our goal of opening up a store or warehouse at some point. Fingers crossed for 2015!

I did not see Legends Tailgate or Skrapnel at Rosemont Target last night, but I did see them at Yorktown this morning.

It's getting hard to resist AoE Voy Drift at $20; I like the mold but hate the way his 3rd mode was wedged into the movie.

Is it weird that I am excited that the masterpiece Wheeljack I bought from you was used briefly in your gallery?

It's like a celebrity toy. But not really, and the more I type the more I realize how weird I am sounding.

It's not weird at all! I've had a few people over the years seek out Transformers I've sold that have been in the seibertron galleries. I usually do this with each masterpiece release so keep your eyes open for more with bumblebee and magnus coming down the pipes before the end of the year.

On a sightings note, I grabbed the last set of AoE deluxe hot shot, Bumblebee and snarl at the wood dale target. Couple of lockdowns are still there.

For those of you looking for the Windblade, Jhiaxus, Crosscut and Nightbeat wave ... Meijer on Golf Rd in Rolling Meadows had a bunch on Friday night and they haven't been moving over the past couple of weeks since their arrival. I think there were at least 4 cases of them on the shelves (2 of each). Don't forget to look up on the upper shelves as well. Not sure if fans keep forgetting to look at Meijer or what but hopefully some of you come along and help move out the new Generations product at this store so that the Arcee and Chromia wave can find a place.

The only one I checked was their Deluxe Class figures which were priced very reasonably at $12.99, compared to higher prices elsewhere. I seem to recall the Voyagers being somewhere between $19.99 to $24.99, can't remember offhand.

I found the AOE Deluxe Hotshot and AOE Deluxe Snarl at the Woodfield Target today. I forgot to post this earlier in the week -- but the other day, they also had Steel Jaw, One Step High Octane 'Bee and One Step Helicopter Drift.

TRU on Butterfield has the new RiD One-Step figs, 9.99. I got Sidswipe, who shares AoE One-Step Drift's transformation, and Strongarm, a new transformation. Good cheap fun.

Golf Mill Toys R Us has at least 2 full sets of the new Robots In Disguise Warrior Class, Legion Class, 1-Steps, and Hyperchange figures.

Nothing new at Walmart across the street ... but I discovered that they had moved the end cap of Transformers over to their Christmas section so there are two places in their store where you can find Transformers toys.

For those of you with girls, Shopkins Wave 2 was at Golf Mill TRU and Mt Prospect Walmart had the new My Little Pony Play Doh set.
