Wow! It's been a loooooooong time since I've had back to back posts.

No go on Arcee in Janesville today, called them right after 11.
Did another round of calls and expanded my radius. When I called Green Bay they told me they had her. I asked if they could hold it and I was asked if I wanted 1 or both. I took both (reselling the second one at cost to another Madisonite). Drove up there. The guy I spoked to apologized and told me they actually had 4. I said that was alright as I don't want to appear greedy. I checked the store, 1 of the other two was still there right out on the front of the peg, didn't see the other one. Good selection of various animated figures, plenty of the ROTF multi-packs. A bunch of Classic ultras as well.

The Green Bay Toys R Us is HUGE! The Madison one would fit inside with it's parking lot. The Green Bay store also has the friendliest staff I've encountered in any Toys R Us as well.

BTW, I know, I'm probably nuts for driving all the way there from Madison just for a pair of Arcees but I've also applied for several jobs in the Green Bay area and haven't been up there in 15 years and never coming from Madison, so now I have an idea how long the drive would be and how much time to give myself if I should get an interview up there.

Nothing new in Marshfield. I still managed to spend money though. Got about half of the Encores for half their price at BBTS from a friend. Couldn't pass that up. :D

I myself make the drive up to the Green Bay TRU about once a month, but it only takes me about half an hour. I agree that its one of the nicer TRUs in the state.

If anyone is still looking for a MP Skywarp, Wal Mart in Oshkosh has one left in their clearence section, although it wasn't priced.

I still can't find mysel a Skystalker, I've seen every ever figure from the wave except for him.

Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to myself here, but here it goes again. The Wal Mart in Fon Du Lac has two MP Skywarps in their clearence section for $29 a pop.

Other than that, there isn't really anything new in NE WI.

Not new figures, but a new price. The movie scout 2 packs Beachcomber/Deadlift and Slap Dash/Trenchmouth are down to $12 at the Monona Wal-mart.

I finally found that little bastard Skystalker. The Target on the east side of Appleton has all of the new scouts.

Those 2 packs are now down to $9. Wish I'd waited a week, still about a dozen left of each.

Movie deluxes at Monona Wal-mart are down to 7.59. They've got several Brawns, Lockdowns, Deluxe Ratchets, I even saw a couple of the Sideswipe "repaints".

Madison Toys R Us ACTUALLY has 3 Cybertron Ratchets in stock as of 8:45 p.m. on 6/18/2010. No Arcees though, and still the same 5 Oil Slicks.
