Illinois Transformers Sightings
Re: Illinois Transformers sightings
Hey guys, has anyone seen Drift at Schaumburg or Bloomingdale TRU recently?
Also, I finally got War for Cybertron on PS3, and it's stupid fun! My username's nilocomic if you want to keep an eye open for me on multiplayer.

Nothing new to report from Rockford. Nilocomic, I'm imfromcybertron on the PS3 network. Add me if you want.
Wanted to post this: I don't know if anyone has posted this anywhere, but here is a good place. This combines two of my favorite things ever: Transformers...and Futurama! THe only Transformer that could possibly be more of a jerk to Megatron than Starscream...

It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

I haven't see anything Generations related in the Bloomingdale and Elgin areas at all. I stopped by the Bloomingdale and Carpentersville TRU's and saw HFTD toys, but no Generations figures (and I checked the VG sections too).

Thanks to a tip from Alkaline, I found a ton of new Transformers at the new Target store on Broadway just north of Montrose in Chicago. This store had a massive amount of new Transformers including the Target exclusive 2-packs (Tailwhip/Arcee, Bumblebee/Thrust, Skids/Mudflap/Sideways, and Barricade/Sideswipe for $19.99 each), HFTD Legends Class, HFTD Activators, HFTD Deluxe Class, Generations Deluxe Class (mostly Primes and Bumblebees but there was a single Drift and Thrust there), HFTD Voyager Class, HFTD Leader Class, all 5 of the first wave of Power Core Combiners, and the HFTD Scouts. In addition, this store also had the new Speed Stars toys (Hound, Silverstreak, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Megatron and Gears). Check out the pics below for the first Target store sighting of these items.

Re: Illinois Transformers sightings
Anybody out there who hasn't got an Animated Arcee check out the Toys'r'us on Western and Addison. The one next to Lane High School. I just got from there and they still had 5 left! Also looks that they have a restock of other TF Animated figures like Oil Slick, Cybertronian Optimus and they had 2 of the exclusive Cybertronian Ratchet figures. So I recommened to head up there and fill out your TF Animated ranks!!!

I think I may try to make it over there today, because I need that Optimus, but if I can't and someone is going there within the next day or so can you maybe hide that Animated Cybertron Mode Optimus for me?
I probably won't be able to get over there until the end of the week if I can't today. Any help would be awesome!!
Edit: What I originally wrote is a little confusing, I'm talking about the Animated figure, not the Generations figure. Thanks.

Hey is there anyone that can maybe hide that Cybertronian Optimus for me?
I probably won't be able to get over there until later in the week. Any help would be awesome!!
The new Target on Broadway that just opened last week north of Montrose probably had twenty of those Primes as of last Friday. I'd recommend just going there or waiting for your Target to get them in stock. They'll be plenty!

Are you refering to the WFC one? Because I'm talking about the TF:Animated one.
