Hit Two Targets and a Wal Mart today.

The first Target was on IL 59 and Higgins Rd...they had Jolt, Dead End, and Blazemaster...still had a couple of each when I left.

Wal Mart in Belvidere had squat.

Target on State in Rockford had at least four of Ice Cream Twins, Jolt, Blazemaster, and Dead End.

Mini-mini-mini-reviews: Jolt is very blah- not a lot to him. THe Twins are awesome in this mode. Blazemaster is a little confusing but a great mold.

Are you having a problem keeping the hood down on the Twins when in truck mode?

In truck mode, Skids' head keeps popping out of the engine compartment and the hood on mine doesn't seem to latch (or however the head is kept in), and the pin in his left arm was put in at an angle, making it really difficult to move his arm at the shoulder. :-?

Looking for a Mutt Williams 12" figure from TRU (or any store I guess). I know I've seen a few at TRUs in their clearance section but I can't remember where. Would appreciate a tip if you guys see one somewhere this weekend.

Found four of these figures at ToysRUs in Rockford. Want me to pick one up for you or have you found one already?

The Target attched to the Harlem Irving Plaza (Harlem and Forest Preserve Drive in Chicago/Norridge) has a few new deluxes as of yesterday. Saw the terrible ice cream truck, Dead End, Jolt and Blaze Master. Also had some Voyager Megatrons and Stratospheres. That Target is extremely slow at restocking or putting out new toys, and as I said there were only a few of each.

Thanks for the offer. I'll just snag one when I find him at a TRU around here. No hurry ... and I finished Wheelie's gallery without needing him. The brunette Barbie sufficed without a stand-in for Sam Witwicky.

If you change your mind, let me know. It's no big deal...

...brunette Barbie?...Wheelie gallery?...Too much information!!! :shock:

Oh the excitement. I got EZ LEgends Devastator in today from a good friend of mine on a different board. We did a massive order from Robot Kingdom. Here is a crappy picture from my camera phone. My regular cameras batteries died.

Target in Wooddale, Irving Park Rd., and in Rosemont, both had a few each of ROTF Blaze master, Jolt, and Dead End. I bought one of each, despite telling myself I wasn't interested in them. Help!

Anyone spot an Arcee? That's what I'm on the hunt for, and also HA Sideswipe

Nothing new to report in Rockford. However, of note is the fact that the Target on East State has the Titanium figs on clearance for $14.88 each. Anyone else seen that at their local Targets or is this just a local thing?

I haven't checked my local Target, but considering the sheer number of Titanium figs they had when I last visited, I cannot imagine they would be far behind on this sale.

I saw ROTF Swerve at the Wal-Mart on 7000 S. Cicero today as I dropped by for some razor blades. My interest in ROTF figures is minimal, so I wasn't interested, but I don't think there have been many sightings for Swerve so far.

OK...I know there aren't a lot of folks that are collecting the Star Wars TF Crossovers, but for those that are I found two new ones today at the Target on E. State in Rockford: Ahsoka Tano (yet ANOTHER Jedi Starfighter repaint) and the Magnaguard Starfighter. I will say this: if the pic on the box is any indication, this may be the best SWTF yet as far as appearance and poseability. Will post more when I get it opened...also of note at that Target is that they have their new shelf mods for the fall set up...including a HUGE empty space for the Devastator set. I'm expecting them to be on the shelves tomorrow morning; they also have a huge spot open for new Voyagers and the latest wave of deluxes. Will update further should things appear.

EDIT: One thing I should mention: THIS PACKAGE HAS NO TWIST TIES!!!! It's a molded plastic piece securing the fig in place. I wonder if this is the new packaging Hasbro was talking about. Incidentally, the package on the SWTF is redesigned as well to look like the new Clone Wars packagaing.
