Pardon my ignorance, but where do I see that number?

If anyone is looking for the huge Beast Fire Predaking, the Target on Peterson between Western and Ridge has two of them on clearance for $14. I grabbed one last night; they're in the ramshackle toy clearance isle, not where the Transformers section has the clearance tag on the shelf for them.
He's really simple, and he has that typical Prime Predaking problem of having just chest and legs, like he pulled his pants up way too high, but he's really big, and I think he's pretty fun. Definately a great pick up for $14. I'd figured if I saw him for the $20 that people have been reporting I was going to buy him, but the deeper discount made him too good to pass on.

I hadn't seen the Kreo Combiners Piranacon, Abominus, and Defensor until this morning, on clearance at the Yorktown Mall Target. $5.48, I bought one of each.

Those 3 sets have been out for a while. Toys R us building shelves in the area are flooded with them. That makes me nervous for the future of those set, which I happen to enjoy.

Hodgkins target on Joliet rd just off of La Grange had 2 sets of the newest generation deluxe figures if anyone still needs them.

I just saw that Hasbrotoyshop.com has Voyager Whirl and Rhinox in stock.

Still have yet to see them pop up in stores.

Again the Target and Wal-Mart here in Orland Park do not have any new Transformers.
I have not yet checked the TRU, but will go when I some more time.

Toys R Us on Butterfield in Lombard had 2 Whirls and 1 Doubledealer as of 10:30 AM 4/10/14

How much was Whirl? I have him on preorder at HTS, but for a few bucks more I'll buy him today. Thanks!

News Credits: 4 · by **philswitch engage** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 3:19 pm

He was $20+. I didn't see the exact price. I got my order in through HTS with the 20% off and free sipping, so i am just waiting for that.

Just got back from the Skokie Walmart on Touhy. Picked up a set of the new Playskool Rescue Bots with Heatwave, Bumblebee, and Optimus Prime. I was bummed that they were smaller but that was made up by them being on sale for $7.97 each with their Easter sale. They were in the Easter blue cardboard bins in the aisle in front of the boys section. There were a few sets left of each along with the rest of the Rescue Bots figures that were also on sale.

Back to working on the Age of Extinction galleries! I think these are great figures!!! They were purchased and over paid for on eBay.

News Credits: 9 · by **Hip-Hoptimus Rime** » Thu Apr 10, 2014 8:48 pm

Heh-heh, overpaid. But we appreciate it man!

Those 2 Whirls were still at that TRU as of about 7 tonight, 24.99. Ouch. I'll wait for mine to come from HTS. Better come.

I found the "unreleased" Cyberverse Beast Hunters Energon Driller with Bumblebee set at the Mount Prospect ROSS store. Here's hoping the rest of the "unreleased" Beast Hunters and Construct-Bots toys make their way to the discount chains soon!

Orland park toys r us has 2 rhinox's and 2 whirls. North riverside toys r us had 1 whirl and 1 double dealer this morning too.

by **Dinomask** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 6:44 pm

I just picked up a Whirl at the TRU on 75th. There were 2 more when I left at 6:25 this evening as well as 2 or 3 Double Dealers. It was a nice surprise to also find some new Pacific Rim stuff, the Trespasser kaiju looks awesome.

by **Dagon** » Sat Apr 26, 2014 6:48 pm

The TRU on Butterfield, as of yesterday, had a few Blasters and at least one Grimlock to go with two Rhinox' and one (remaining) Whirl.

Prices at C2E2 crack me up. There are several vendors selling Grimlock, Springer, and Blaster for $30-$40. Whirl and Rhinox I somewhat understand since they are new, but theses 3 guys are all over every retail chain.

Don't I know it. And I still spend my money buying high price stuff there.

I found the Age of Extinction Construct-Bots Dinobots Stafe, Slug and Grimlock and the Norridge/HIP Kmart off Harlem. They wouldn't break the street date so maybe Kmart isn't the place to go for this stuff.

I got the Construct-Bots Dinobot Warriors Optimus Prime with Gnaw at the Golf Mill Target this past Wednesday night after providing the DPCI to an employee who was willing to help me out.

The new Rescue Bots Rescan figures are at random Walmarts. The new "Mini-Con" 2 packs we reported on have been showing up at various Targets. Arlington Heights had them the other day and the HIP Target had them today.

Golf Mill Toys R Us had some Whirls and Rhinox figures. I forgot to see whether or not they had Doubledealer.

I haven't seen any other AOE products out but I'll keep all of you posted if I come across some.
