The TRU in Deerfield has (as of Saturday) two MP Acid Storms and like two or three of the Jetwing OPs. I don't know if anyone is interested in that Prime for Black Friday, but that's one place to find them.

Yorktown Mall Target had Constructbots Thundercracker and Hound this morning, picked up one of each. Also had one each of the Rescue Bots mini-fig Blades and Boulder, got them for my boy. Oh Dani Burns, where art thou?

How many did they have?

When I was there, they had two TC and 3 or 4 Hounds. Note that there are some on an end cap in the "main aisle" as well. I think I got the only Rescue Bots Blades/Boulder mini-guys.

I picked up the new Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Hound Contructbots at the Yorktown Target last night. Thanks for the heads up Hip-Hoptimus! Now I'm keeping my eyes open for the new IDW figures now out.

Isn't Hound great? Something about him, he's my favorite.

It seems that TRU is the place to go for them right now.

You are some kind of wizard. I strolled into my local TRU (Downers Grove, Butterfield Rd) this morning on your tip andÃ‚Â bam,Ã‚Â a couple each of all 4 were there, 12.99. Bought Skids and Dreadwing. Thanks wizard oh wise!

At the Bloomingdale Toys R Us, I found 3 new Constructbots, Silverbolt, Cliffjumper, and Breakdown. I don't believe these have been found anywhere else, Have they?

Found Waspinator and Skids today at Downers Grove Toys R Us on 75th st. A friend at my LCS found the new series at the Target in New Lenox too.

I've gotten Dreadwing and Goldbug from different targets in the area. I love that they were only 9.99.

I just was not seeing any of these guys at the Targets I've gone to, even asked if there were any in back. At least I have the ones I wanted.

Realy super-jonesing for the new Legends 2-packs and the new Deluxes, like Scoop.

Around 9:30am, there was 1 Skids and 1 Goldfire remaining at Rosemont Target. None at Golf Mill Target. Jackpot at Golf Mill Toys R Us in Niles. Waspinator and Dreadwing were at last mine. I left behind at least a couple each of Goldfire, Dreadwing, and Skids. No more Waspinators though.

Happy hunting!

Hey everybody. The other day I got Planet X's Caelus, which we all know is "Swoop," and it is without a doubt a bad ass figure. But it's got me wondering. Planet X has got some great people making these 3rd party figures so why not make some bots with other, not done before, dinosaur alt modes. Would I be the only on out there interested in such things?

The snow has kept me from looking recently :-(

, but I did find the last few deluxes from the Skids/Goldbug wave in different stores on New Year's eve, and I did find construct bots Dead End at the Randell road Toys R Us. Oh, and I found some Armada and RID stuff at Quake West. so i'm happy about that

My LCS, Amazing Fantasy Comics, in Frankfort had the new batch of Kreo micro changers. They were very helpful in pulling up the ID numbers for me on their computer so that I knew which figures I was picking up (screw you old lady Kup)

Fri Jan 31, 2014 12:05 pm

I was just at Quake Collectibles West in Schaumburg.
He had a G1 Fort Max that looked to be intact.

In other news, Target and TRU in Orland Park has the same figures up there since x-mas. So, nothing new in my area.

Target in Woodridge, 63rd St., had some of the new Constructbots, Silverbolt, etc. No Gens Deluxes, but the empty pegs had $9.99 tags on them.

Jackpot!

Super target in broad view on Cermack has the new generation deluxes

They had 2 of each. I grabbed 1 of scoop, mini cons, and sky warp.

Woohoo! Great news, thanks. I suppose the DPCI is the same as the previous waves, could you confirm for us? Thx again.

You passed on Starscream?

News Credits: 4 · Sat Feb 01, 2014 1:00 pm

I did. I had just grabbed some new Spidey Marvel legends, so my toy purchase for the day was already over $100. Plus I am waiting to see how the Jiaxus figure looks with that mold.
