Same with the Target on Rand in Arlington Heights / Palatine.

Saw wave 2 Megatron and Darkmount last night at Walmart in Mount Prospect, but I think they're the same ones I reported last week at that store.

Downers Grove Toys R Us (Butterfield Rd.) also had 2 MP Grimlocks. Two HA Barricades as well. No new Generations or PCCs. Remember the Scout sale, buy 2 get one free.

Before I forget again, is that Sideswipe a new mold or just a slight retool of the old one?

Does anybody know any store in the Northshore area that has TomaHawk, Terradive, WFC Soundwave, and Red Alert?

I seem to find everyone else in those waves but those guys.

I have yet to see any of those figures in stores around the Mount Prospect area. I'll let you know if I do.

FYI ... Blurr and Dirge were sighted in Chicago yesterday at a Target.

Walmart near Golf Mill had a few each of HFTD Activators Ironhide and Starscream. Bought one of each, they're pretty cool!

Which one? Also, should I just keep waiting for the others, or buy them online?

Walmart in Rolling Meadows had one or 2 PCC Mudslinger and Double-clutch sets. Would've gotten Mudslinger but we were already dropping $60+ on other stuff.

Rockford TRU finally managed to get up to date with their Generations figures...multiple SOundwave, Megatron, Darkmount, and Red Alert figs on the shelves. They have virtually zero HFTD figs.

I think TRU did a much nicer job with this wave of exclusives than they did with Arcee and Ratchet earlier this year. Thanks for letting us know Hip-Hoptimus Rime!

Anyone heard of any sign of Highbrow or The Fallen? Really want to get my hands on those two.

Has anyone seen a store that still happens to have a Star Wars Transformers Death Star / Darth Vader toy in stock? I know it sat around forever. When my basement flooded in June 2009, the packaging on mine got wet. I thought I had taken out all of the parts but I had overlooked that the figure came with a cape.
