To be honest with you guys, I'm not sure what that is. I assume its some form of chocolate, but I haven't seen it. :lol:

I've seen 25th Anniversary Prime twice yesterday at the Rolling Meadows and Carpentersville Wal-Marts. Also both stores, along with the Elk Grove store, seem to be overloaded with Movie deluxes even with the markdown to $7.77.

Just rub it in why don't you?

It's getting to be the holiday season with Thanksgiving less than three weeks away and Christmas only about 4 weeks after that. Anyone else thinking a Seibertron Christmas party might not be a bad idea?

I will!

lol jk but yeah I picked him up and he's a pretty cool figure I can't fiddle around with him too much tonight cause I have school tomorrow, but for the hour or two I've had him I think he's better than leader megs. Other then the two I have I might still get Blurr, Jazz, Blitzwing, and maybe voyager prime.

I would have no problem with that.

I don't have a problem either. Need to look into a couple of sports bar/restaurants around here to see where we could meet up.

Thanks to Tim Formas over at TFW, I found Activators Grimlock, Megatron and Bandit Lockdown at the Walmart on Meacham in Elk Grove Village. There was still 1 Grimlock and 1 Megatron left on the pegs when I left around 1:30. Working on the galleries for the latest Activators right now.

The TRU in Schaumburg had a bunch of figures. Newest things I saw there was Storm Cloud (which is the first time I've seen him in stores) and the Grimlock and Prowl Titaniums.

The Target on Touhy in Niles had a couple of Tread Bolts in stock yesterday.

Picked up the two latest Star Wars TFs on sale for $13.49 at the Target at Higgins and Meacham in Schaumburg.

Still haven't seen Storm Cloud out here in Rockford. As a matter of fact, haven't seen Animated Ultra Magnus yet either. Kinda depressing if not for having already ordered UM from BBTS....and being broke...being in school sucks.

my target gets Storm cloud in quite a bit. Just see if they have more ultras in the back. Btw I saw Blitzwing at wally the other day and I'm wondering what everyone thinks of him?

I liked him...not so much the tank mode, but overall pretty decent. I find the rotating head feature to be a little hard to use. 7 out of 10.

Yeah, I was a little disappointed in Blitzwing as well. Something just isn't right about him.

I meant to mention that I saw another "returned" Transformers yesterday at the Target in Schaumburg on Higgins and Meacham. This time it was the basic Obsidian mold inside of the Marvel TF Iron Man packaging. This kid is making me sick that he keeps returning figures in packaging. What makes me even more sick is that the people at the stores aren't noticing this scheme. Some of the returns are pretty obvious while others haven't if you are unfamiliar with the product.

If you're referring to Blitzwing, I'd still say he's worth the money. Most everyone I've talked to about the figure like him. He's a large figure for a Voyager. I just feel like he's one of the few figures in this line that didn't translate well from animated version to toy version.

well I went to the golf mill wal-mart and picked him up and I like him. I really like the tank mode, but they should have given him weapons.

Saw some of the newer waves such as Universe wave 3 and Animated Wave 4 at Rolling Meadows Walmart.

I found all of the other Target exclusives at the Hoffman Estates Target off 59 this morning (both Legends 5 packs, movie 2 battle scene 2 packs, universe comic 2 packs and animated lockdown and ratchet 3 packs). Didn't actually see the movie figures but based on other reports they're out and since all of the other target exclusives were on the end cap facing the board games, i'm assuming they were there earlier this morning or yesterday since the shelf space and prices were there for them. The Animated Legends figures all have paint variants from individually packaged figures. Hopefully I'll have some galleries for all of you by next week.

Also found the latest Star Wars TF figures at various Targets around Schaumburg/Niles.

Ironhide is at Golf Mill Walmart. Lots of Titaniums, Unicrons and other TRU exclusives at Golf Mill TRU.

25th Optimus is showing up at all stores in the area. Lots of stuff out there. Go find it my friends!

Keeping an eye out for Cyclonus and the rest of Universe Deluxe wave 4

Damn, I drove right by that one this afternoon. I'll have to stop there tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up Ryan.

Picked up my Springer/Ratbat comic pack last night at the Target on 63rd st in Woodridge. They also had all the new target packs on the end cap facing the board games just as others have been posting.

The Target on Elmhurst and Diversey in Chicago had ALL of the Target exclusives yesterday and lots of them. I imagine all Targets must be releasing these exclusives this week.
