Congrats! That's a no-brainer and an absolute steal. Just slightly over half of what my wholesale is on it, which is why I never carried him in my store. Nice find!

Lately I have been getting a lot of figures from Primetoys.net. He is local in the Chicagoland area and is a great source for transformers, 3rd party, Hasbro and marvel legends.

About an hour ago, Yorktown Target bad 2 TR Soundwave and one Blaster, 44.99. Remember, the Target Redcard gets you 5% off that, or about $2.25.

I found one TR Voyager Optimus at Walmart in Rolling Meadows tonight, $24.86. Also, curiously, they had a couple Leader Soundwaves and a Blaster for just under $40.

Congrats. That's awesome. He's an amazing figure, though I'm really bummed about Quickswitch. Hopefully the inevitable Greatshot and/or Sixknight are done right.

Has anyone seen the Titans Return Deluxe Class wave 4 figures at their local Walgreens? I feel like I missed that boat.

Naw, he's a steaming pile of G1 puristic sh|t that will never see my collection. If they had updated him, I'd've been all over him, but sadly, 4/6 modes look like crap and his flat-top mode is no where near good enough to merit buying him - beyond all the qc issues that seem to be mold-wide...

Seriously, if anyone needs bumblebee, gnaw, or kickback, Meijer in Oswego seems to have gotten several cases of them judging by how stuffed the pegs are...

Wow, I'm surprised to see your response to Sixshot. Which types of Transformers figures do you prefer?

I liked the classics version of stylized updates; if the wolf mode was more proportionate I'd like the figure, but the tank mode is pretty superfluous, the car mode is weird looking and on top of this, the figure is plagued by qc issues, I've not heard a single person say theirs isn't, it's just another nail in the coffin.

If I'm being honest, I like bay-formers... weird stuff like the beast machines vehicons... I don't really have strict rules that I follow, if a figure looks cool to me, I get it, sixshots bot mode is killer, but is let down by the other modes... I was never even impressed by the original figure as I thought it looked equally dumb, and now this one has rigidly followed suit - too rigidly. I think the mmc one was way cooler.

I found Titans Return Brawn and Roadburn (Chase) at Rolling Meadows, Meijer yesterday. 2 of each were left as of yesterday morning. Sorry I forgot to report it yesterday. Bunch of Bumblebees and Kickbacks there also.

As of about half an hour ago, TRU on Deerfield Rd had some Last Knight toys: 1 Voy Optimus (I bought the other), 2 Voy Grimlocks, a Bumblebee and Grimlock Armor Up Turbo Changer (I bought the lone OP), and a few 1-Steps and Legions/Legends.
