And yet another sighting coming from your friendly neighborhood Gorechyld.

Walmart on E.State in Rockford has about 6 each of Terradive, Tomahawk and Electrostatic Jolt. So if you want them, there they are.

Also, the Walmart in Belvidere has 2 Sunspots, and the new combo packs. Ironhide and Bonecrusher, Starscream and Mudflap. ALSO, they have the voyager class ROTF Ramjet and Skywarp, two of each. Which is surprising since I thought those got released a while back and then disappeared off the shelf.

Get together on a Sat nite might be better than pulling a 7pm'er on a Fri in Schaumburg.

I know there are quite a few out my way in and about NW IN/IL border.

Hitting Schaumburg at 7pm on a Fri will be a nitemare for most folks not near there:-)

Either way I will try and be there.

Nothing new to report in Schererville,IN and Merrillville, IN (NW IN Walmarts as of t-nite) unless u want lots of Megatrons and Darkmounts.

I was thinking the same that 7pm on a Friday might be difficult for some of you, especially around the holiday season. Do you think 8 or 9pm would be better to help avoid rush hour?

Golf Mill Walmart had the Transformers Crossovers Ghost Rider and Spider-Man (Helicopter) this morning around 7am. Also saw the PCC wave 3 two packs at Golf Mill Walmart, Touhy Walmart, and Mount Prospect Walmart. Snagged an extra TFA Rodimus for $6.94 at TRU this morning at Golf Mill TRU. No signs of new Generations or Reveal The Shield figures.

Honesetly, that Friday was an arbitrary day. The 3rd and 4th are both possibilities. If one works better, we will go with it. So let's get some feedback eh?

Which day works best...or rather, which day can we get more people to? The more the merrier...and let's face it...Christmas is just around the corner...Hannukah sooner than that (starts on the 1st I believe) so merry is certainly the best way to be, right? Let's party Seibertron style for the holidays!

I'll do Fri, but from experience doing board get togethers, Sat end up working better for everyone along with traffic issues :-)

I'll do either, would like to meet some more folks from the area anyhow.

Ryan,was it a black colored Sideswipe with Mikaela u were looking for? Seen one at Walmart in Schererville.

Crystal Lake Walmart had a bunch of the new Scouts Sunspot and Firetrap, and one of the exclusive Voyager Ironhide/Deluxe Bonecrusher pack.

OK, if we do that Friday would 8 or 830 work better for everyone?

Not sure if this counts as a sighting, but the KMart Black Friday ad flyer I just got shows Battle Ops Bumblebee for 39.99, Fri and Sat special. HTH someone, maybe even me.

YOWZA! Meijer will have Battle Ops Bumblebee for $34 on Thurs. only, 6am to midnight. I may have to beg the wife to let me try for one.

Got the only ones that the target in Rockford, IL had.
They also price matched the toysrus 2 for 14.99 price.
They had generations cliffjumper too, but I didn't get him.

Someone finally got to something before meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :sad:

Seriously that's crap, Target has never had ANYTHING besides Optimus, Bumble Bee's and Drifts and the one time I stopped making Target a normal stop, they get those two in. That's my luck right there lol.

Guess I'm gonna have to put them back on my usual stop list. :grin:

The Target at Howard and McCormick (roughly) had a whole shelf of Stakeout/crankcases in prep for the Black Friday 10$ PCC sale. Not really much else though.

Picked up the Destrons and Protectobots at the Loves Park WalMart last night after the hockey game. Didn't see any others, but they had all of the new scouts, including Sunspot, Breacher, Insecticon, and the others from those waves. Also had two Black HA Sideswipes. ALso pick up the latest SWTF, the new Galactic Battlecruiser. Even though I think this fig should be bigger, this is EASILY the most poseable of any of the SWTFs to date. Great ROM at virtually all points.

Funny enough I was at that game. I remember why I stopped going to home games, cause the Ice Hogs ALWAYS get beat when they play here. 4-1 in the 3rd period...christ...

Also Happy Thanksgiving all!

Shoot mate, you gotta tell me when you're coming. I'll give you a tour of the locker room! And I can get you free tickets as well if you want!

I know it's late, but Happy Thanksgiving all! Also if anyone comes across the Skullgrin, Thunderwing, and Cliffjumper assortment, I'd really love a set and can meet same day!

I have an extra set from BBTS that cost me about $15 a piece that I was planning on selling on eBay to recoup my costs from the case I bought plus shipping. Probably not a good deal since you should be able to find them in the next few weeks for $9 each plus tax.

That is tempting when I think about saving on gas and time looking for them. Lately the south side has been getting shorted on first sightings.

Hey guys, just wanted to put this up to see if I could get any support. I'm in a photo contest on another site, with this photo that I submitted:

I was doing alright, but now seem to have fallen behind a little bit. If any of you have the time, and think my photo is better than any of the others in the competition, feel free to vote for it. You can find the contest here, and the photo is under my name, nilocomic. Fair warning, you have to register to vote.

Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there. Might as well try to get whatever votes I can, right? Thanks, guys!
