Day before thanksgiving went to the walmart on touhy. I did see those two pack exclusive boxes, not sure what was under them, and a few deluxe boxes stack on top. I saw 7 Ld prime there. One on the floor, 6 stuff up on top of the selves near the towel area. Those tricksters...

For those in or around Springfield, IL.

The Toys-R-Us in Spfld had as of earlier today - very few voyagers... most all of them were Megatron, then a few Ironhides and a Blackout or two. Most everything they had was Decepticons. They also had 1 Cybertron Metroplex in the Transformer aisle as well. In one of the clearance isles by the baby department they had a set for sale with Omega Supreme and Crumplezone? in it. They were pretty small I don't think they actually transformed. TRU has some stuff, but if you are in the area I really recommend the Walmart on the west side of town by Target as they have the most variety in TF toys.

What the heck is an LD? My TF lingo is getting stale. I hope I'm not missing anything with all this talk of LD Prime. Unless you mean leader class?

Anyway has anyone spotted MP Starscream in IL at all? I'm in arlington heights and no luck. Went down to Oklahoma over Thanksgiving weekend and no luck there either. eBay is loaded with them though.

I checked the Rockford (Rt.20) and Freeport (Rt. 26)Wal-Marts yesterday and came up empty. Aside from the usual toys, no sign of MP Starscream at all.

I checked a couple of my usual stops today: Schaumburg Target on Meachem, Schaumburg TRU on Golf, and the Target on Rt. 59 in Hoffman Estates. Nothing special about any of them except the Target on Meachem was completely out of deluxes. I suspect that the Allspark wave may show up there soon once they restock.

The one by Lane Tech. No more voyagers though, got clean on Monday cause of the sale. By when I was there, I did see a Starscream...gave it away since someone was looking for it.

I did see a Starscreams at Target on Friday (the one on touhy). I spotted at least Starscream 5 times of all my runs. Concept Bumblbee...11 + the 3 I got...

I visited the Elgin Target and Wal-Mart and both stores had nothing new. The Wal-Mart had no Transformers merchandise period, as in completely cleaned out.

Just to repost info that got lost during the board reset last week, I did spot a ton of Allspark Power wave 3 deluxes at the Downers Grove Toys R Us including five Cliffjumpers and a lot of Landmines and Camshafts last Monday.

Was at Walmart in Addison last night. Practically empty TF shelves, just a few Booster X10 and Nightbeat Real Gears, but they did have a single "Final Battle" scene set w/ Longarm and the BB torso, $20.

Ditto Target in Rosemont, plus lots of existing Dlxs and Leader Brawl/Megatron. (I just mis-typed that as "Kegatron", there's got to be a kit-bash in there somewhere!)

I bought the Jazz/Bonecrusher and Rescue Ratchet/Brawl packs, those 2 new molds are nice! ;)^

I paid the Elgin Wal-Mart and Target on Randall Rd a visit today:

Target: restocked with lots of deluxes including at least 2 Arcee's, 1 Barricade, 2 CC Bumblebees, 2 Final Battle Jazz, 1 Jazz, and 2 Brawls among others. They also had 1 Movie battle set (First Encounter w/ Barricade), a Voyager Megatron and a Leader Meagtron and Leader Brawl. They also had a few Allspark Legends two-packs as well.

Wal-Mart: No transformers period. I found out why when I asked an employee who was fairly intelligent and spoke English (I know, I'm shocked too). Apparently the won't be restocking TF's for a few weeks while they move the TF's and all the other action figures to a different part of the Toys department.

Well, I stopped by the Elgin Wal-Mart this morning (I needed motor oil) and saw that the TF section was restocked. They had a bunch of Wave 2 deluxes (CC Bumblebee, Final Battle Jazz, Arcee, Longarm, etc...) as well as a bunch of Voyagers (Starscream, Prime, Rescue Ratchet, Ironhide) and three Leader class Nightwatch Optimus Primes. First time I've seen that toy around.

I stopped by the Elmhurst Rd Wal-Mart just outside of Oakbrook today and they had the usual Wave 2 Deluxes with 2 of EVAC, Offroad Ironhide and First Strike Prime.

I went to the Target on Rt.72 and Meachem and they had a mix of Wave 2 and Allspark Power deluxes including 4 Landmines and 2 Camshafts. No Cliffjumpers though.

It's funny how for months CC Bumblebee was never in stock and now I'm seeing that toy everywhere.

There were two Nightwatch Primes there and two Leader Brawls.
