Anyone else seen the black Human Alliance Sideswipe with Mikeala yet? I'd really like to get my hands on that figure.

Just left Kmart in Oak Lawn they had a least three cases worth of wave 3 Voyagers all priced at $17.99 each for that price I gave in and pick up Highbrow. It was at least 2 of those guys left three of the Fallen and about 5 Voyager Primes

The only thing I don't like about Highbrow is his arms. They dropped the ball on those. Other than that, I think he's a great figure. Unique face sculpt, head design. Very WWII looking in both vehicle and robot modes.

Love the new The Fallen as well. Just wish he was a dark grey or black color like the original. The new mask and face underneath plus staff are awesome.

Their galleries are the ones I'm wrapping up tonight.

I'm torn about what to do w/ my original Fallen. I was thinking of swapping parts over onto the new one, to darken his color scheme. Also thinking of just keeping the old one around as one of the other original Primes for the new Fallen to whale on.

KMart DP had one of the Stealth Force inferno, bought him. (I always feel bad telling how I bought the last one of something, feels more like a "bragging" than a "sighting".) He's really cool, I dig him. Looks great with Stealth Force Barricade, nicely in-scale together. Two Earth emergency responce vehicles, one good, one evil.

Rockford sightings today at the WalMart on Northridge in Loves Park...and this one is a surprise. Wave THREE...yes wave 3...of the PCC two packs (the one made entirely of repaints) is out on the shelf there. Plenty to go around as I didn't get any- just don't get repaints anymore. They also had 1 Rescue Ratchet deluxe fig and all three of the year-late 25th anniversary scout figures.

Algonquin Walmart has the new wave of two-pack PCCs, with the repaints of the earlier figures, along with four Voyager Primes. Algonquin Target has two each of the new wave of five-pack PCCs, with the Protectobots and Destrons, along with a Generations Megatron and 2 Darkmounts.

Northridge? You mean Riverside?

Along with those, there's now also a Generations Megatron and Dark Mount at the Walmart on Riverside in Loves Park.

The Rolling Meadows Walmart had/has the new HFTD Voyager/Deluxe Walmart exclusive two-packs. I picked up the last Starscream/Mudflap set as well as an Ironhide/Bonecrusher set. There were still two of the Ironhide/Bonecrusher sets remaining when I left there about an hour ago.

Also saw more Axor and Rescue Ratchets at the Mount Prospect Walmart last night around midnight.

Found a Terradive at the HIP Target on Sunday which I picked up for someone I'm doing a trade with. Also found the Speed Stars Barricade $10 car at that Target.

Midnight? Get home Mister, you got a wife now!

I also saw Axor and Rescue Ratchet last night at WM in Niles, on Touhy next to the Babies R Us. None of those Voyager/Dlx sets, tho. How much are those?

Could you post a quick comparison pic of the original ROTF Starscream and the 2-pack version? I have it in my head that he's almost white. Thx.

Hey Dahpadre ... Metroplex is technically the world's largest digging machine.

Wed Nov 17, 2010 3:24 pm

So another sighting on my behalf. And hopefully this doesn't bite me in the ass, I.E. people buying this stuff up to sell it on ebay :twisted:

But the K-mart on Sandy Hallow has got a cache of Battle Blade Optimus Primes {Voyager class}, 1 Cybertronian Megatron, 1 Dark Mount, the new packs of PPC's which were Crankcase and um....well I forget the other one's name... lol. But they also have some of the new leader [not leader class

} PPC figures.

They had 1 Fallen {new paint scheme} and 1 Highbrow, already picked up The Fallen. I'm debating Highbrow, I thought I liked his look. Then I looked at him in the box, and I've seen a couple reviews on him and I'm just not sure yet. So maybe if he's still there Friday I MIGHT snag him.

Not mine, but very cool. Sadly, I believe this machine is considered the largest moving land vehicle on Earth, surpassing the NASA Crawler/Transporters that are so dear to my heart. *snif*

It was resolved.

That's cool it was resolved. It was really a "foolish" issue to begin with.

What's up dahpadre?

Ryan, we finally doing a get together or what?

Thu Nov 18, 2010 12:39 pm

There's been a sighting of Skullgrin at a Target in Indiana! That means Thunderwing, Skullgrin, and Cliffjumper are getting out there. Keep your eyes peeled for 'em! I'm looking for a Thunderwing and Skullgrin, meself.

I gave up on local stored for most of the new waves so I ordered Breacher, Insecticon, Highbrow, Ghost Rider, Tomahawk, and others from HTS, TRU, and others. And now ANOTHER wave shows up that won't be in Rockford until March...(sigh)

Still looking at Friday December 3rd for a Chicagoland Transfans get together. Likely Schaumburg area, right by the mall. 7pm gathering time. Houlihans and Hooters are tops on the list of locations unless someone has other ideas or suggestions.

Ah, looks like you gave in ... like I usually do. I generally buy most of my stuff online unless I find it in stores first.

I won't be able to attend that weekend. If you guys do it that weekend, hopefully we can get together shortly after that one. That or we shoot for Thanksgiving weekend or the weekend of the 10th.

We can't very well have a Seibertron get together without Seibertron there...if I was going to organize it, that is the only day I could; the rest of my schedule is limited by the hockey schedule...and we have a TON of home games the next couple months. If someone else wants to help organize it, that's cool with me. If you guys do the 10th, I won't make it as we have a home game that night...but Ryan is more important than me, so do it then if you can.

I'm not more important than any of you. There are Seibertron meetups in other states and even other countries, none of which I've attended. If you guys start one up here, and I can't make the first one, I'll do my best to attend the next one. I'd really like to meet some of you guys.

Dude, I been listing area's all around town that carry/carried Breacher, Insecticon, Tomahawk AND now Highbrow {He's down at the K-mart on Sandy Hallow, along with a cache of Battle Blade Optimi, voyager class} Don't think I'm gonna pick him up right now {Highbrow}, I've already spent 60 bucks this week on The Fallen, HA Jazz and Rescue Ratchet. And I'm looking to go out to Toynk very soon to pick up the Hybrid Style THS-02 Convoy since I can't really afford a MP Prime right now. :sad:

If its still in stock I mean, website says it is...but knowing my luck..

Anyways, a question to you all. Does anyone know where I can get a spare G1/Universe Ratchet HEAD? I'd really like to replace Rescue Ratchets with the G1/Universe look, simply cause I think it'd look cooler than bird face/Wooky Ratchet.

Fri Nov 19, 2010 12:19 pm

West Dundee Target had a couple Breachers and Insecticon. Algonquin Walmart had two Tomahawks and a Terradive. Nothing of the latest sighted waves at those, or Algonquin TRU or Target.
