Anybody seen Legends Devastator in the W or NW suburbs? I've got the $5 off coupon from the Recon Ravage mail-away, and it's my birthday today, so I want this guy. Thanks!

There's a ton of them out here in the Rockford area if you want to drive out this far.

Yay! Walmart helps those who help themselves, to coin a slightly blasphemous phrase. Found Legends Devastator at the WM in Bloomingdale, Army Trail Rd. Just one left after I bought mine. I did notice at the five other WMs I went to that there was no longer a space on the shelves for him, some stores had new planograms hanging on the pegs. One store did have a space, with the $32 price tag, but it had 2 x's on it.

I used the $5 off coupon from the Recon Ravage mail-away, came to less than $30 w/ tax. Happy birthday t' me!

Thx for the heads-up anyway, First-Aid.

Looks like Crystal Lake TRU finally put the Animated Exclusives out, because there were two Cyb. Ratchets there this morning. No sign of Arcee though. Nothing new at Crystal Lake Target. I want to find Lockdown at Target, dang it!

Has anyone seen the HA Mudflap yet?

I just think the sightings reported of HA Mudflap were false. I ended up getting mine from HTS and a second from Brianstoys.com I suspect he will be actually hitting retail soon now that the NEST run is over.

Thanks for the tip. I grabbed the last one as of 8:50PM tonight. Now I have to determine if it's worth opening this one to do comparison photos of this version with the original and the Takara Tomy version (which also sports the matte finish).

Have you met Hip-Hoptimus Rime yet? He could kick my butt if he wanted to. He can say "keen" all he wants in my book! Besides, I think it's pretty cool beans that he said "keen".

Target Rosemont had ROTF stuff on sale: Voyagers 14.99, Deluxes 8.99, Scouts 6.99. Little selection, tho- Defender Optims, Mindwipe, Tuner Mudflap, Rampage, Scalpel, and Ejector. Good figs all, worth it if you don't have them or want more.

FWIW, I wouldn't hurt a fly, unless it was driving the car that ran into the tree in front of my house the other day... :evil:

Just hit the TRU in Downers Grove, Butterfield Rd. They didn't have much, but they do have several each of the exclusive Backroad Brawl and Shanghai Showdown sets, and at BOGOHO too. Cool sets, you buy now!

Walmart Glen Ellyn had 2 Human Alliance Barricades last night, I understand he's hard to find. They also had those Movie 1 Scout 2-packs for $5, a few of both sets.

Great job! Looks nice! And that's coming from someone who can't stand the green repaints of construction vehicles that inevitably happens in the TF line...

That your first repaint?
