I just saw one 30 minutes ago at WM in Glen Ellyn, Rt. 53 and Butterfield Rd. There was only one, along w/ several Desert Attack Scorponok sets, which curiously ended up "hiding" the lone BB set...

RUN!

By Carpentersville, do you mean the one by 72 and 25? I didn't see it Sunday. Maybe I'll have to double check that. And Elgin too. Thanks to everyone who's been posting what they've seen!

Walmart in Elk Grove Village (Nerge and Meacham) had the new Allspark Deluxes- al of them, IIRC. I grabbed Grindcore, he's cool. Also tons or first-wave Dlxs, Nightwatch OP and Deep Desert Brawl. Damn that Brawl is groing on me...

Funny: I've decided I want another first-issue Bonecrusher to display in his Buffalo MPCV alt mode w/ my small military collection, and now all I can find is Jungle BC! Arg.

There were tons of original Bonecrusher at the Woodstock Walmart.

Finally found Capture of Bumblebee at a KMart in CL! :grin:

Aldi's at it again. The store on Golf Rd. near Arlington Hts Rd. has the little movie Titaniums for $4. Had them all, too, IIRC.

Stoped by the glenview target this morning. They had alot of alspark deluxes, at least 3 of each; Camshaft, Ladmine, and Cliffjumper. Also had desert Brawl and the new scouts.

No, the one on Randall Rd. The one on RT 72 and 25 is one of the Elgin ones. I rarely see anything good there. The one on Randall Rd just past Big Timber Rd in Elgin usually has a better selection, like today. They had one EVAC and four Incinerators plus they usual deluxe shelfwarmers.

I saw a Recon Barricade today at the Elgin Wal-Mart on Randall Rd along with about four or so Incinerators and two EVACs

Bloomingdale Walmart had a Premium Ironhide and Premium Blackout, which I grabbed. Also, the Target next to it didn't have any Premiums, but it was the first one I've seen that had the Allspark Voyagers instead of the usual Rescue Ratchets and Thundercrackers.

by **nilocomic** » Mon Mar 31, 2008 9:18 am

Bloomingdale Meijers had one Premium Optimus Prime and one Premium Megatron hidden behind a bunch of Dessert Brawls and Nightwatch Primes. Also three Capture of Bumblebee sets, which I'd never seen so many before!

I've been checking the Wal-Marts in Rolling Meadows and Elgin fairly regularly as well as the Targets in Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates and I've seen nothing new except the Wal-Marts have a lot of Incinerators and no EVAC's for some strange reason. Deluxe Camshaft has been the only All-Spark power Deluxe I've seen on a regular basis. Nightwatch Prime and Desert Brawl has been at every store I've been to in good numbers. Hopefully Stealth Bumblebee and Premium Barricade and Bumblebee will pop up soon.

I just saw a lone Evac at WM in Addison, Rt 53 and Lake St. All the Allspark Dlxs were there, along w/ NW OP and Desert Brawl.

I'm hoping to find the Allspark Voyager TRU exclusives soon, those 2 Cybertron repaints.

I found an EVAC today at the Carpentersville Wal-Mart along with Overcast. They had two Incinerators, two Offroad Ironhides, and the EVAC along with a bunch of Camshafts and Stockades plus some older deluxes. The Target nearby had nothing special.

News Credits: 3 · by **muswp1** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 11:05 pm

Paid a quick visit to a few stores today:

Schaumburg TRU: nothing rally of note except for a lot of Scene Battle Sets and the still had some old Scorponok/Blackout two packs from July in stock.

Schaumburg Target: The only interesting thing they had were two Target Exclusive Allspark Barricades in stock. For some strange reason, neither one had the red Frenzy included.

Hoffman Estates Target (Rt 59 and Rt 72). Had two Allspark Barricades (these examples had Frenzy mounted in his chest) and two Target Exclusive Allspark Bumblebees. I did not buy them since that bright blue is still ugly, even moreso in person.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone seen the 25th anniversary GI Joe vehicles in the area??

by **nilocomic** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 6:39 pm

Toys R Us in Bloomingdale (Army Trail Road) had four each of the exclusives Jetstorm and Wingblade.

News Credits: 9 · by **Hip-Hoptimus Rime** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 7:15 pm

Likewise, TRU in Downers Grove, 75th St., had a few Jetstorms and Wingblades as well this afternoon. I grabbed one of each. They're cool!

News Credits: 3 · by **muswp1** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 12:45 pm

The Carpentersville Target has about twenty or so if the Target exclusive deluxes in stock. They were on a register endcap with a few GI Joe vehicles. I saw all four figures represented (Brawl, Barricade, Jazz, and Bumblebee).
