Illinois Transformers Sightings
Re: Illinois Transformers Sightings
Has anyone spotted a HA Sideswipe from the ROTF line just sorta floating around. I'm looking for the Shadow Blade variant particularly. I didn't think I wanted him, but now I have HA BB, Jazz and Barricade and I feel like its just not right to not own one. I'd pick up the DOTM version..but...UGH...those colors and that stupid Human Alliance tag on the bottom of the car......

I've got one I would sell ya if you want him. His right arm was funky out of the package, it keeps popping off. Tried the super glue trick, but that didn't do much for it.. anyway, if you want it, it's yours.

Saw a HA Jazz at a local Target a few days ago. It was in Elgin I believe.

Target Rosemont had a single Armor Topspin tonight ~6:30. I carried him around for a few, but the was 11.99, no sale, and I am presently couponless. He looks great tho, like the primered version of a NASCAR stocker before it's painted.

My first post!
Air raid, armor top spin and dark steel were all at the Bradley Target. I bought the Air Raid and Darksteel but wanted to let everyone know they've been spotted. Also, a few HA Jazz, Bee and gold cost co battle ops bee at the marshalls in Bradley

Re: Illinois Transformers Sightings
Thanks!
I've been hesitant to join cause I usually don't see much worth while out here in Kankakee. Thought I'd share that though to let you guys know that the wave is pumping out. Also, let ya know the new stuff at Marshall's (which for me has been a goldmine over theyears)

Spotted Armor Topspin, Air Raid and Darksteel at the Hoffman Estates Target at Rt.59 & Rt.72. One of each was there.

Target on 173 in Machesney Park has 1 Armor Roadbuster (I took the Air Raid and Darksteel figs..sorry) as well as one Reverb and two Half Tracks. No Drag Strips.

Walmart in Villa Park, Rt 83, had several Dreamsicle Roadbusters, 9.88. I bought one, he's fun.
I should see about getting Armor Topspin from Target on sale at some point for his weapons.

Half Track is twice the size of Comettor..

FWIW, Comettor was Armada Jetfire's mini-con, I think that's the confusion.
I've told myself I won't buy Armor Topspin bec. of the Twin Twist repaint coming out, but I broke down and went looking for him at my Rosemont Target last night; he was gone. That's the Universe protecting me from myself. Thanks, 'verse!

I live in Mascoutah Illinois, St Clair County near St Louis. I want to know of any location near me that has the following:
RTS Wreck Gar
RTS Perceptor
RTS G2 Optimus Prime
RTS Strafe (for my dad)
RTS Lugnut
RTS Grapple
I have searched high and low for these figures. I managed to find the RTS legends first wave in some remote store near Sparta. Thank you very much for taking your time to read this.

Out of those six figs, I have never seen four of them in the stores....the bottom four never appeared here. The top two appeared once about a year ago. Nothing since then. FOr those figs, you may want to try Marshall's or other overstock stores.

I got a RTS Bumblebee from a Kohls in Edwardsville ONCE. I could not find the matching Optimus to go with it since it is a wave mate. Thanks for the heads up. I will search for more overstock stores around here.

Check Ross, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and as someone mentioned, Kohls. Those are honestly your best bets for those figures as they never really hit major retail stores in the Illinois area. And when they did, they were gone within seconds.
