He was $20+. I didn't see the exact price. I got my order in through HTS with the 20% off and free sipping, so i am just waiting for that.

Just got back from the Skokie Walmart on Touhy. Picked up a set of the new Playskool Rescue Bots with Heatwave, Bumblebee, and Optimus Prime. I was bummed that they were smaller but that was made up by them being on sale for $7.97 each with their Easter sale. They were in the Easter blue cardboard bins in the aisle in front of the boys section. There were a few sets left of each along with the rest of the Rescue Bots figures that were also on sale.

Back to working on the Age of Extinction galleries! I think these are great figures!!! They were purchased and over paid for on eBay.

Heh-heh, overpaid. But we appreciate it man!

Those 2 Whirls were still at that TRU as of about 7 tonight, 24.99. Ouch. I'll wait for mine to come from HTS. Better come.

I found the "unreleased" Cyberverse Beast Hunters Energon Driller with Bumblebee set at the Mount Prospect ROSS store. Here's hoping the rest of the "unreleased" Beast Hunters and Construct-Bots toys make their way to the discount chains soon!

I just picked up a Whirl at the TRU on 75th. There were 2 more when I left at 6:25 this evening as well as 2 or 3 Double Dealers. It was a nice surprise to also find some new Pacific Rim stuff, the Trespasser kaiju looks awesome.

The TRU on Butterfield, as of yesterday, had a few Blasters and at least one Grimlock to go with two Rhinox' and one (remaining) Whirl.

Prices at C2E2 crack me up. There are several vendors selling Grimlock, Springer, and Blaster for $30-$40. Whirl and Rhinox I somewhat understand since they are new, but theses 3 guys are all over every retail chain.

Don't I know it. And I still spend my money buying high price stuff there.

I found the Age of Extinction Construct-Bots Dinobots Stafe, Slug and Grimlock and the Norridge/HIP Kmart off Harlem. They wouldn't break the street date so maybe Kmart isn't the place to go for this stuff.

I got the Construct-Bots Dinobot Warriors Optimus Prime with Gnaw at the Golf Mill Target this past Wednesday night after providing the DPCI to an employee who was willing to help me out.

The new Rescue Bots Rescan figures are at random Walmarts. The new "Mini-Con" 2 packs we reported on have been showing up at various Targets. Arlington Heights had them the other day and the HIP Target had them today.

Golf Mill Toys R Us had some Whirls and Rhinox figures. I forgot to see whether or not they had Doubledealer.

I haven't seen any other AOE products out but I'll keep all of you posted if I come across some.

Don't forget to check out my AOE galleries at http://www.seibertron.com/toys/index.ph ... type=exact

Des Plaines KMart had 2 Rhinox and a Whirl last night, about $26.99 IIRC. No AoE stuff.

And Rosemont Target had a couple each of the new Rescue Bots mini things, Bee, Optimus, and Heatwave. I bought OP, he's Magnus now, and gave the little Trex fig to my daughter.

Just picked up Swerve and Cosmos from the Target on Rt 83 in Willowbrook.

They had 3 left of each.

picked up evasion mode Optimus Prime from the walmart in Algonquin on Randall. Only one there, they had a few of the Power Attackers on the rack.

Ugh, looked for Swerve and Cosmos at Golf Mill Target. None to be found, of course. Thanke Target, appreciate it.

On tje plus side, they had a single one of those upsized-Cyberverse BH Voyager Optimus Primes, $10. Fun to beat on or something.

Target at Yorktown Mall came through! Two each of Cosmos and Swerve as of 8:00 this morning, after I got mine. No AoE out yet.

Any TRU coupons around? Has anyone seen any wave 2 stuff? How about Voy Hound and Galvatron?

News Credits: 9 · by **Hip-Hoptimus Rime** » Sun May 18, 2014 2:40 pm

Holy crap, no AoE at ALL at Rosemont Target, not even in the back. WTH, Target, I thought we were cool?

News Credits: 4 · by **philswitch engage** » Sun May 18, 2014 3:50 pm

The target in Lombard near Yorktown had hardly any transformers. Especially no AoE.

News Credits: 3602 · by **Seibertron** » Sun May 18, 2014 8:31 pm

Gurnee Walmart and Target had nothing as of yesterday around 2pm.

News Credits: 3602 · by **Seibertron** » Sun May 18, 2014 8:31 pm

Walmart near Harvard, IL had the Construct-Bots Dinobots and a lone Fall of Cybertron Jazz.

That sucks that the retailers didn't have their act together with the street date. At least TRU seemed to be on the ball and at least the retailers were on the ball with Cybertron Monday.

Walmarts in Addison and Glen Ellyn, only the Sparkers, 1-Steps, and Power Battlers in stock, a couple Leader OP as well.
