I saw Siege Ultra Magnus again at Rosemont Target tonight, 2 of him. I hadn't seen him at Target in a long time, and I'd been kinda regretting not buying him. So when I saw him tonight... I skipped him again. I just can't commit when he's in hand, I think it's the goofy way the front wheels are placed.

Target in Wheeling on Lake Cook Road had the Earthrise wave 1 deluxes. They only filled 1 peg with 4 at a time. I got the last Ironworks and Hoist yesterday and Cluffjumper and Wheeljack today. 1 Wheeljack was left on the peg when I left earlier today. Might be worth watching for a restock if you are on the hunt.

Has anybody sighted Kingdom Rodimus Prime at retail? All the stores I hit in NW Illinois have been pretty empty recently

If anybody needs a Kingdom Ultra Magnus, the Target in Itasca has one. Aside from a bunch of Buzzworthy Bumblebee stuff (no Origins or 4 pack present), they didn't have much.

EDIT: The Wal-Mart in Elk Grove had as close to nothing as they could get. Just a couple of Megatron's and Starscream's from a series I didn't recognize

Does anyone know if Tigatron has been sighted in Madison County or the surrounding areas? I spotted two Rhinoxes a while back, but they may have been part of the Cyclonus wave.
