DAMNIT! I missed them! Well, hopefully TRU will get something this morning that manages to stay on the shelves until after morning practice is done.

Jackpot at the Kmart is Des Plaines if any of you are looking for the following figures ...

Hunt for the Decepticons
1x Highbrow
1x The Fallen
3x Battle Blades Optimus Prime
5x Victory of the Fallen Legends class sets

Power Core Combiners
3x Stakeout with Protectobots
3x Crankcase with Destrons

I haven't seen Highbrow, The Fallen or the PCC wave 3 five packs anywhere else.

walmart on 31 is setting up a display in two weeks for blackfriday so we may not see anything there for a while

So if any one wants me to keep an eye out for them let me know. There is supposedly a TRU and Wal-Mart maybe a Target and ShopKo (last resort $19.99 for a deluxe my ass) right by our hotel.

But on the note of TerraDive I love this fig. He had the arm popping problem but I just kept working the should peg back in place and it eventually fixed itself.

And Freeport had a single Blurr and wave 1&2 Generations stuff and maybe 2 Dirges yesterday. Blurr was gone in a matter of a few hours when I came back after work.

No problem problem brother, glad to be of assistance. On another note, this just must be MY week. Because I just got off of "duty" out in Freeport and stopped out at the K-mart by the J.C. Penny. And I spotted Blurr sitting right on the front of the peg, all begging for me to buy him, and thus it was so. However rightfully deserved, I've been waiting for him to come around since I first saw his release.

There was also two Dirge's, one is still sitting on the pegs, along with Red Alert and Soundwave.

It's so weird that Kmart seems to keep getting new figures out on a relatively timely basis this year, particularly the past 6 months, unlike they have in previous years.

Dude you have the best frickin luck ever...I wanna shop with you...

Target on E State had 1 Terradive, but they did have the new black Sideswipe HA figure. Ditto for the E. State Wal Mart on both figures, plus a couple ES Jolts. TRU had nothing...unless you want the green Devastator...they have like 40 of those. THe Wal Mart on FOrest Hills had the Black Sideswipe as well.

So now the black HA Sideswipe is out. Man wish I had my hands on him right now so I could knock out a gallery of him real quick. Guess I'll be on the hunt for him around here.

I wouldn't say my luck is that great honestly. I'm just persistent in my search, I visit the local stores atleast twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays mostly. But being that I'm unemployed I've really got nothing better to do with my time. And I just -happen- upon a lot of my findings, mostly because I think to myself "I haven't looked here yet" and BAM it usually produces results. However on that same token, I've bought a lot of older movie toys and and scouts or voyagers because my searches equaled less than favorable results lol.

looks like you can order the new tfs at kmart.com and have them shipped to your store.
has anyone bought the sons of cybertron animated set? how does the prime look??

We've been down that road. Not a single person on this site who has ordered from KMart.com has gotten the correct order.

Ryan, do you recall how much the HFTD Voyagers are? The KMart site has them at $16.19, but this might be different in-store. Did not see Highbrow on the site, but the others are there and show in stock at the DP store.

Screw it, I'm going in the morning, need milk and cereal anyway.

They're the normal price of $21.99. They're behind the Battle Blades Primes.

I wouldn't trust the Kmart site for anything.

I just picked up Highbrow and Fallen at that KMart for 17.99! A new sale starting today perhaps? Those were the last of each one, but they still have 3 BB Primes and several each of the new PCC 5-packs.

Ninja edit: Thanks Ryan!

Glad I could help!

I've heard nothing but bad things from that. No one has ever gotten what they ordered, usually other figures that are the same class size. Don't waste your time with them.

i do not know if you found soundwave or not yet but i saw one at the walmart on 31along with the axor and ratchet i hid the soudwave in the back of the peg for ya just in case

I need a little help guys. I'm looking for some old DC SuperHeros, Darkseid, Steel, and Cyborg Superman. I know a couple of you guys are comic shop faithful, so if you see them or know where I can go, give me a shout. Also managed to score Rescue Ratchet and Axor Sunday from the bridgeview Toycon.

Which packaging were you looking for? I'll keep my eyes open for you, mate. I gotta pick up my subs tomorrow, but Rockford stores are pretty far behind everyone else in the world so I may end up finding them out and about.

It was the DC Super Heros series. It's a couple years old. But they have repacked these particulars in later series.

Thanks, man, I got by there today and snagged him. They definitely have a good amount of stuff there, including the Axors and Rescue Ratchets, plus a bunch of Darkmounts and Megatrons, and a few Blurrs and Dirges. Those Voyager Optimus Primes are totally gone though! Definitely moving faster than the first movie Voyagers repaints ever did.

Algonquin Target didn't have much new, other than a single Tomahawk at the endcap, and a few Darkmounts and Megatrons.

np once we have the meetup things will be easier lol
i still need to find terrordive
or how ever you spell it
and i am glade i could help

speaking of which, have we figured out a date and location yet?

So does anyone know why we're starting to see Universe toys on the shelves again? Walmart down on Riverside has Universe Breakdown, Ramhorn? {Rhino} and Brushguard. And the Toys'R'Us on State has a scout three pack from the Universe/Unicron Trilogy line. You know the ones, they had the "key" gimmicks.

Anyways just wondering if anyone had an answer lol.

Another sighting here in Rockford.

Toys'R'Us has 2 Darkmounts and 1 Cybertronian Megatron in stock.

Anyone in the Rockford area might wanna act quick, I "sorta" hid him, but again there's only 1 and I'm sure it'll be the ONLY time we ever see Megatron in this city. lol

Would have snagged him myself but I already got mine in Algonquin.

I stopped by the Kohls at Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale to look for some shoes and they had a ton of HFTD Deluxes and Scouts (Wave 1 & 2), a few Generations Deluxes (a Thrust and a Drift), and three full pegs of PPC 2 packs (all Wave 1) on an endcap. Everything was on sale 20% off, which brought them down to TRU level prices. I picked up a Hailstorm and a Firetrap.
