Saw the TFW posting about Rodimus being out at stores in Illinois, so I zipped up to the local Toys'R'Us here in Rockford and low and behold there he was!

I already contacted TJ Duckett, but First Aid I hid two of them for the both of you on the second shelf of the Transformers isle, behind the Power Robot Revving Robots, there was three left which I left one out. But just so you know, he's there so hurry up and go get him! Btw, did you ever snag up the Wheeljack, Warpath and Thundercracker I hid for you? :O

Also sorry about the news about you and your wife's loss, you have my sympathy and hope things start getting better for you in the near future.

Found two HA Roadbusters at Golf Mill Target this afternoon around 4pm. I hid them under and behind some Cyberverse Bumblebee sets and the other kiddie toy sets. They're on the back of the right hand side of the main shelf where the Transformers are in the aisle.

Nothing else new to report at Golf Mill Walmart or TRU. No Masterpiece Rodimus Primes there.

Are people still looking for HA Roadbuster? I saw 2 today at Target in Wood Dale.

Soemwhat off-topic, I saw the re-release of the original GI Joe SkyStriker (NOT SDCC Starscream) at that Target, $35. Takes me back, that was the coolest Christmas gift I ever got, I clearly remember crying, I was so excited.

The sign said this Fall. Yeah, that should come in real handy for those hard to get toys down the road.

For those of you on the fence about not-Scavenger (Exgraver) from TFClub, I just got mine today and have to say.....DAYUM!! What a great job! Can't wait for the subsequent figures! And a job to pay for them! Anyone need a nurse?

3 Toys R Us stores yesterday and saw multiples of Warpath, Wheeljack, and Thundercracker at those stores. After seeing them at Walmarts, Targets, and Toys R Us stores in the past month, I think I'm done reporting on them.

Windcharger, on the other hand, is a whole other story.

I picked up a Generations Kup on clearance for $7 yesterday at the Mount Prospect Walmart. All of the Generations figures had clearance stickers for $7 on them, but Kup was the only one worth grabbing. The rest were Cliffjumpers, Thunderwings, and Skullgrins. It rang up around $11.88 (or whatever Walmart's price is on those), but a manager helped me out without any problem.

Nice find Ryan.

That scares me since we got one wave to go with Generations.

Out near me, at about 90% of the stores, its literally pure movie garbage(to me) with a peg or two of Generations and the pickings are getting smaller and smaller....

Hit ToyCon up this morning, nothing there good, found a TRU Rodimus for 85$ and actually bust out laughing at someone when I asked how much for the Starscream Sky Stryker and he said $200 :lol:

by **nilocomic** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 4:54 pm

Not that I've been scouring all over for them, but I've still yet to see Warpath, Thundercracker, and Wheeljack anywhere in the stores. Makes me glad I went ahead and got them from BBTS a while back. Probably saved myself a lot of driving around looking for them.

I hope those Gens figs are $7 at all WMs, I need some of Skullgrin's clip weapons. Thx for the HU.

I'm thinking it might be a screw up, it might not be, but I would think we would be seeing more of them per Walmarts prior history of situations like this.......

It's not good if u want to get your hands on the last wave of Generations figures........ If they are marking them down now, good chance they won't carry them later.

Two warpaths at the Schaumburg Target on Higgins and Meacham. I picked up one, but the other is there waiting for a new home.

In case anyone is interested, I found the new Star Wars TFs- including all three class I figures- at the Target On State in Rockford. They also had a whole endcap of Target exclusive DOTMs.
