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.

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.

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

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 :D .

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)

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.

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.
