Went to the Schaumburg Target on Schaumburg road and they had two of all the Wave 3 Deluxes except for Cannon Bumblebee (none) and Ravage (one). They also had the new Universe 6" Titaniums there, two Hot Zones, one WW Prime, and one WW Thrust. I picked up WW Thrust and ROTF Ravage.

Yep, bought 1 this past Tuesday at the Target on Pulaski off of I-55. I don't know if any are left.

$30 for a combiner might lead to these guys going off the shelves pretty quick. There were about 8 of these when I bought mine, you might be out of luck if there is no restock.

I think the official release date was this coming Tuesday, but it's always best to check a week ahead with these exclusives.

Near the parks, are ya? Midnight showing would have been all kinds of awesome, but work prohibited that...only downside of third shift.

Definitely seeing it Friday with some friends, but may head out Thursday.

Kaint wait!

Walmart in Glen Ellyn, Rt 53 and Butterfield Rd, had ROTF Deluxes at $9, still tagged at 11.88, and Voyagers at $18, still marked at 22-something. They had Voy Megatron and Mixmaster- I got mix, he's cool! Still had my receipt from buying Cannon Bumblebee and Mudflap at full price, so I got 6 bucks back too, woo-hoo!

Got back from the East State Street Walmart in Rockford not to long ago. They had the usual suspects, as well as a few Mixmasters, Fallens, Megatrons, and Ravages.

Of note is that they had 1 Stratosphere and 2 each of the Walmart Exclusive Seeker repaints. I grabbed a Skywarp before I left, so they had 1 Skywarp and 2 Ramjets.

Sorry bro...I was there right before you...and grabbed Scalpel! Yes, indeed I was surprised to see the little guy there (along with scout class Reverb who I didn't get). I guess that means wave 3 scouts are out.

He's not that bad...he has balance issues. My wife's exact words were:

(ahem)

"He's so cute!!!"

:shock:

The microscope mode looks cool though.

Have you posted the items that you want to sell in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum?

viewforum.php?f=36

I'd be willing to be that someone might be able to help you out if you post there. If that doesn't work, I'd recommend eBay. Please share your link in this thread once you've posted your items. Good luck!

Alright, I'm a total n00b here, so bear with me if I'm not posting this in the right format or in the right thread.

I checked out the Walmart in Oswego (Hwy 34/Ogden Ave) on my lunch break and here's what they had, if anyone is looking for these:

For scouts, they had Reverb, Dune Runner, Depthcharge, Ransack, Dead End and Dirt boss.

Deluxes (which are on sale for 9.00 this week) they had Ravage, Wheelie, Skids (painted tooth version), Chromia, Smokescreen, Sideways (lighter silver version), Mudflap (TRAX license plate...not MUDFLAP plate), Interrogator Barricade, Rampage, Desert Brawl, Breakaway, Soundwave and both of the new versions of Bumblebee.

For voyagers (18.00), they had 2 stratosphere left, a TON of Demolishor, Ironhide and Prime and a few Starscream.

Leaders, just the regular Megatron and Prime you find EVERYWHERE.

Are you willing to drive to Warrenville? If so, I can try to pick one up tonight at cost if they are still left and I can meet you in the parking lot of the Target in Warrenville on Diehl. I work not far from that Target, so I can just stop and meet up with you on my way home some day later this week.

Let me know if you want to do that, and I'll let you know if I'm able to get a hold of one for you.

Walmart on 59 in aurora across from fox valley mall has all the same deluxes I mentioned, but add a voyager megatron, ratchet and a couple more stratospheres to the mix. Oddly, they are not on sale at that walmart though. I even did a price check.
