As for toy hunting this weekend, I stopped at the Rolling Meadow Meijer to see if they had any of the new Marvel Transformers left. They only had Carnage and Iron Man on the pegs, but I found the others en masse toward the back of the aisle. Lo and behold ... I also found Legends class Rodimus and Warpath at this store.
This sent me off on a hunt that ended up with me driving all the way to the next closest Meijer, which is in Elgin. I stopped there and they had 2 of each of the wave 5 Legends class figs. I picked up Cosmos and Wheelie to complete my set. I left 2 Rodimus, 2 Warpaths, 1 Cosmos and 1 Wheelie at the store (though the Wheelie I left had plastic stress on his upper legs so be careful if you decide to buy that one). The Elgin Meijer also had multiples of the new Marvel TF wave with Thor, etc.
I also saw a whole bunch of the new Marvel 3 3/4" figures at this Meijer. Hasbro did a really nice job with those (except for the ridiculous price point). Those look much nicer than the comparable DC product.
I saw the Animated Jet brothers at a variety of stores. Seems like it's kind of common now. Meijer even had it in addition to every Walmart and Target I stopped at.
Hope this helps you guys out! Happy hunting.

Hey gonzo23! Welcome to the site. Hope you're enjoying the Shadow Commander figure.
Just wanted to let you guys know that I found the first wave of Mighty Muggs at the Kmart in Des Plaines on Friday night. I should have galleries of them posted early this week. I don't know what it is about these guys but I absolutely love them. I can't wait to have a set here on my desk at work.

No, not rubbing it in, just with the excitement of Sam Prowl and Waspy, totally forgot about all the other figures that were there. I know some people are still looking for them.

FInally found Cosmos, Warpath, and Wheelie legends figs though- they showed up at virtually every store in town on the same day...
work had 2 infernos only the second timeI've seen him on the shelf sence I got him.
