Welcome to Seibertron.com AlkalinePunk! Looks like you're not too far from me. I'm over in Des Plaines about 3 miles away from the Higgins Target in Rosemont.

Hey Chris! It was great meeting you at the Kane County toyfair. It means a lot to me that you stopped by to say hello to all of us Seibertronians here.

I haven't really seen anything new at stores lately. I do have the wave 4 legends figures on the way from BBTS (Beachcomber, Animated Starscream, etc) as well as the next wave of Robot Heroes (Perceptor, "Bomb"shell, etc).

I've been working on a big project for Seibertron.com during the past couple of weeks but I hope to launch this new feature soon so that I can return to working on the galleries.

I stopped by the Target in Hoffman Estates yesterday and they had two of the new screen battles packs (both of them) and comic packs (also both of them). They also had at least six of the new Ratchet and Lockdown repaints and a few of the DVD Prime sets as well as the usual assortment on the aisles.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Nov 30, 2008 2:18 pm

God it was bad friday, couldn't even move around in toys. Anyway all we put out tf related was the G1 Prime sets, a space for screen battle packs, the animated packs, and the comic packs.

I found the Universe wave 4 figures at the Bollingbrook Walmart. Working on the galleries tonight.

Legends Starscream was at the Rolling Meadows Walmart.

The Cyclonus face looks so much better after I took a metallic silver sharpie to it.

Walmart in Orland Hills Illinois got the following:

Universe 2.0

Cyclonus (4), Hound (4), Starscream G1(2), Ironhide (5), Sunstreaker (6), Silverstreak (4), Galvatron (3), Tankor (2), Sideswipe (3), Prowl (5), Silverbolt (2), Overload/haul not sure of name (3), Cheetor (2), Beachcomber (6). BB (4), Brawn (4)

Animated

Pretty much all of the previous wave releases with the new Activators Lockdown, Megatron, Ratchet, Starscream. Not sure of quantity as this was most of the TF section.

Legacy of BB pack, I think there were 5 left.

Walmart TF Animated board game a whole end cap of those on sale for 15.88.

Target in Orland Park, IL. had the comic two packs, a good amount, but nothing new that I noticed.

Kmart in Tinley Park had the exclusive minicon 12 packs. A good amount of those. Nothing else worth mentioning.

Sorry bro, closest I got was Toys R Us in Schaumburg, near Woodfield- I got the last Hound and Cyclonus this morning.

SCored at the Target on E. State in Rockford. Animated Blurr, Swindle, and Blazing Lockdown. First time I've seen em anywhere...

Still looking for Inferno...any luck anyone else?

News Credits: 1 · Tue Dec 30, 2008 8:49 pm

well another fruitless hunt for me. I visited the golf mill target and it looked worse than Wal-mart and that's saying something. I know that target is a busy one but this was the worst toy section I've ever seen. Bakugun everywhere on the floor and scattered throughout. I managed to find a cheetor but I couldn't find Hound or Cyclonus anywhere. I couldn't find any backroom locations either and I didn't even bother looking for a team member cause there were none around. I played scavenger hunt for about 10 mins and found a bunch of tfs but none of what I wanted. I'll just wait til this weekend and try to find em at my target. That target need serious help. Ok rant over!

News Credits: 2 · Tue Dec 30, 2008 11:26 pm

Bakugan is everywhere because it's not selling. The assorted Japanese anime-based games seem to be falling out of favor (finally...Pokemon is the DEVIL) with kids as newer American cartoons make the rounds like Ben 10, etc. On that note...Total Drama Island is the best cartoon ever.

Walmart on 53 in bolingbrook has had the same stock since the day after x-mas 2 Ironhide and a sideswipe from Universe, soundwave from animated and 1 blades. The Tru on 75th in bollingbrook has 1 ton of mudflap, 25th prime, a small selection of animated.

Naperville target, tru, and walmart have a problem with updating the stock as well. :sad:

Sat Jan 03, 2009 11:22 am

I had better luck today! Roadbuster/Dirge in abundance at Target on north ave in St. Charles, also freeway battle no universe delux
Tru in St.Chas Unicron, 25th prime, tons of jetstorm and animated, also 1 delux brawl.
Walmart in St.chas has 6 cheetor, 2 hound 1 cyclonis. Got my cyclonis and 2 starscreams lol!

dropped by the walmart in mount prospect on my way home from work. I picked up voyager grimmy he's a pretty sweet figure btw, also a rather funny sight; an energon starscreme slid into a movie thundercracker box. I didn't think the wal-mart people were that stupid to let that one slide! Also stopped by the arlington heights target found nothing but they had all the holiday tf packs 30% off they also had 25th prime on sale as well.

News Credits: 3647 · Wed Jan 14, 2009 11:09 am

The Niles Walmart on Touhy had the latest wave of Robot Heroes (Perceptor, Sharkticon, etc) as well as the latest wave of deluxe Animated figures (Blurr, Swindle, etc).

I'm on the lookout for the Jetstorm/Jetfire two pack.

FYI: The Mount Prospect Walmart is closing on January 31st to be remodeled into a new state of the art Walmart. When you walk into the store, they have a picture of what it will look like. Won't re-open until 6 to 9 months from now.
