What does Golf Mill Toysurs, Target and Walmart have? I am wondering if Jetfire is at Toysrus.

The only Jetfire I've seen so far is the extra Jetfire I snagged at the Mannheim Target a week and a half ago. I got my other Jetfire via Amazon.com two weeks ago (no sales tax and no shipping made it a deal). It is an incredible figure! I can't wait to finally take his robot mode pics and combined pics w/ Prime this weekend.

Northridge Walmart in Rockford has their HA sets marked at $29.98, IIRC.

Now there's none I grabbed the last one last night he was hidden in a cart of reshop. Overall he's a nice figure but for the price I expected more. For $20 you could get an alternator with rubber tires, detailed interior, and an front axel. $30 for HA Bumbles you can't even get any of those. While he's a nice figure he's not really a must have.

I picked up the only HA Bumblebee at the Elgin Wal-Mart today. All the stores in my area seem to be overloaded with Deluxe Chromia's and Wheelie's. I went to 4 different stores today and all of them had at least 6 of each.

I searched and didn't find anything on this. I was at Target in Peoria and saw a shelf or two of these on a back end cap. They are in Universe packaging and made by Super Soaker. My wife said I couldn't get one...

I saw this as well. That is my local TRU, I bet we've seen each other and just never knew it. I'll start wearing a bright orange hat that says I'm a collector! :grin:

I saw those in Chicago at a Target and my girlfriend was near to demanding that I buy two of them. I had to talk her out of it saying things like "When the hell are we even going to play with those?" and "I doubt the landlord would want us using those inside the apartment!" and such. Talk about a reversal of roles, huh?

Made the rounds today in Rockford; both Targets, Walmart on State and Northridge; KMart on State; ToysRUs; found squat. Majority of the stores are still on wave one and two Voyagers; haven't even SEEN a Jetfire in town yet.

I hate the Midwest...
