Illinois Transformers Sightings
Re: Illinois sightings.
stopped by work and golf mill today.Glenview still has universe deluxes at $7.79 they had all the new waves minus hound and cyclonus. Golf mill target had dinobot and smokie and the rest of the last wave they also had the new animated deluxes but blur was missing really pissed me off considering they had atleast three of his other two wave mates prices there were $10.99 Also 3 of the fugly roadbuster magnus I finally scored at wal-mart where the pegs were filled with deluxes from the new universe wave and animated scored a blurr and they had about 4 left. Still lookin for inferno...

Had fun with the guys at diablien's house in Chicago yesterday. It's always nice meeting more TF fans around the area. Nice group of guys.
As for toy hunting this weekend, I stopped at the Rolling Meadow Meijer to see if they had any of the new Marvel Transformers left. They only had Carnage and Iron Man on the pegs, but I found the others en masse toward the back of the aisle. Lo and behold ... I also found Legends class Rodimus and Warpath at this store.
This sent me off on a hunt that ended up with me driving all the way to the next closest Meijer, which is in Elgin. I stopped there and they had 2 of each of the wave 5 Legends class figs. I picked up Cosmos and Wheelie to complete my set. I left 2 Rodimus, 2 Warpaths, 1 Cosmos and 1 Wheelie at the store (though the Wheelie I left had plastic stress on his upper legs so be careful if you decide to buy that one). The Elgin Meijer also had multiples of the new Marvel TF wave with Thor, etc.
I also saw a whole bunch of the new Marvel 3 3/4" figures at this Meijer. Hasbro did a really nice job with those (except for the ridiculous price point). Those look much nicer than the comparable DC product.
I saw the Animated Jet brothers at a variety of stores. Seems like it's kind of common now. Meijer even had it in addition to every Walmart and Target I stopped at.
Hope this helps you guys out! Happy hunting.

Any luck with the Mighty Muggs? I'm oddly really excited about this line. I really like the look of some of the other product lines' Mighty Muggs such as the cute little Hulk, Ghost Rider and some of the Star Wars ones. I can't wait for the Transformers to show up in stores. I added a bunch of figures to the toy sightings section of the site to help us all figure out where the Mighty Muggs are showing up. You can view these here: http://www.seibertron.com/sightings/index.php

Yesterday I saw a few of the new Universe Legends wave 5 at the Golf Mill Walmart. I saw Rodimus and Wheelie and I think Cosmos but I can't remember the 3rd one.

Welcome to our community!
Yet another Chicagolander eh?
Since I get first greeting I suppose I have to give the disclaimer:
Warning: Seibertron.com contains nuts!
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

Hey gonzo23! Welcome to the site. Hope you're enjoying the Shadow Commander figure.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I found the first wave of Mighty Muggs at the Kmart in Des Plaines on Friday night. I should have galleries of them posted early this week. I don't know what it is about these guys but I absolutely love them. I can't wait to have a set here on my desk at work.

Hit the Target on E. State in Rockford today and found more of the SWTF Torrent Starfighter and finally found the AT-TE molds as well. They still had a few left.

No, not rubbing it in, just with the excitement of Sam Prowl and Waspy, totally forgot about all the other figures that were there. I know some people are still looking for them.

There haven't been a whole hell of a lot of Inferno sightings at all. Still haven't seen one in Rockford and just now are starting to see REGULAR Ultra Magnus here in town, let alone Roadbuster version. FInally found Cosmos, Warpath, and Wheelie legends figs though- they showed up at virtually every store in town on the same day...
