Nope, I'm actively looking for Premium Bumblebee and Barricade myself. So far, no luck.

Target in Rosemont had a few movie Deluxes at 6.99 tonight. One Overcast, a couple Payloads, a couple Dropkicks, that's it.

The Wal-Mart on Randall Rd in Elgin had one Premium Megatron and one Premium Optimus Prime along with the usual shelfwarmers.
I was at two Targets today and it looks like they are using most of the space that Transformers used to occupy for Incredible Hulk figures.

Re: Illinois sightings.
Target in Algonquin on Randall Road has three Stealth Bumblebees, and one or two each of Premium Blackout and Ironhide. They also had a Salvage and Premium Barricade and Jazz, but I grabbed those. For 6.99 each! 
Quite the miracle considering this Target's usually had squat in the past.

Re: Illinois sightings.
Hey, I noticed someone on here was looking for some of the original movie deluxes. Toys R Us in Bloomingdale had quite a few original Bonecrushers, Dreadwings and Wreckages.
I was there yesterday.

The Target in South Elgin had three Stealth Bumblebees (now 2), a couple of Salvages, and two Jungle Bonecrushers.
Target in Elgin on Randall and Rt 20 had a Premium Barricade (I got it), and more Stealth BB's and Salvages as well as a Premium Blackout.
Same story at the Target in West Dundee on Rt 72 except I left the Premium Barricade there as well as the two Premium Jazzs.
No Premium BB's sighted, but I am actively looking for him.
Today must have been Target's big restocking day.

Re: Illinois sightings.
Hit up the Target on Rt. 173 in the Rockford Area today, They had
2 Premium Barricades and 1 premium Ironhide.
Also stopped by the Wal-mart on East State Street, Rockford Area also.
They had 1 premium Blackout and 2 premium Ironhides.
Last stop was Toys-R-Us on Perryville Road. They were brimming with
Transformers. 2 Premium Blackouts and 2 Premium Ironhides, 1 premium
Megatron, 2 Wingblades and 1 Jetstorm.
The above is hardly a complete rundown, but only that which stuck out
most to me. If you happen to find yourself in the area, pop in to these stops, who knows what you might find?

Re: Illinois sightings.
I had to go to costco so I stoped by the Glenview target. They had premium barricade, jazz and prime. All of em had great paint but were 9.99, I thought all targets had the price break?
They also had jungle crusher, stealth bb, salvage and overcast. DAMN NO BB!

Stopped by the Schaumburg TRU and Target today. TRU must have found some back stock because now they have enough Balckout/Scorponok two packs to field a small army (at least 18-20), at least a dozen Nightwatch Primes (probably more) and at least 7-8 Thundercrackers and Rescue Ratchets. Also they had two Movie Scene "Capture of Bumblebee" sets there.
Target had a few deluxes (back to regular price), mostly Jungle Bonecrusher and a Salvage and a couple of Arcee's and a Voyager First Strike Prime and Offroad Ironhide.

In Springfield's K-mart (I think it is the only one in Spfld now), they are having a sale where if you buy one Transformer toy, you get the 2nd one 50% off.
They had 2 movie voyager Evacs
1 or 2 Voyager Starscreams
several Voyager Incinerators?
2 Desert Leader Brawls
several movie deluxe Stockades
They also had some cyber slammin' toys, etc. They also had TF Risk marked down to $15 and there was 2 of those left.

Sighted two Legacy of Bumblebee packs at the Elk Grove Wal-Mart yesterday.
I'm still wondering where all the packs that were on those aisle displays at a couple of Wal-Marts disappeared to when the the displays were broken up.
