I picked up voyager grimmy he's a pretty sweet figure btw, also a rather funny sight; an energon starscreme slid into a movie thundercracker box. I didn't think the wal-mart people were that stupid to let that one slide! Also stopped by the arlington heights target found nothing but they had all the holiday tf packs 30% off they also had 25th prime on sale as well.

The kid that's returning the wrong (and less expensive) Transformers in the packaging for more expensive Transformers is really getting annoying. The kid obviously has a problem. I've been seeing this problem all over the area for the past 4 months or so. I thought about calling the person out on it on the homepage in hopes that they will stop. It's ridiculous and it's stealing.

The WalMarts and Targets in Rockford are in the process of redoing their toy sections.

The Target on State St. has three of the new TF:A Shadowblade Megatron, and a half dozen TFA Blurr, Swindle, and Blazing Lockdowns. The others are beginning to restock and should have new stock within the week.

Walmart in Niles on Golf had 2 Shadow Blade Megatrons tonight and 2 Cheetors. The Cheetors were about the only Universe figures ... most everything this Walmart had was Animated.

The Target at Golf Mill in Niles had at least 2 each of the latest deluxe wave of Universe (Cyclonus, Starscream, Hound and Cheetor). They also had a nice selection of TFA Voyagers such as Blitzwing, Grimlock and Optimus Prime with the Autobot symbol on his upper arm. Universe figures were on sale for $7.77.

The Golf/Milwaukee Niles TRU didn't have anything new. Had clearance prices on their remaining Real Gear and Movie Replicas. Nothing really caught my eye here. Still had some TFU Unicrons. I keep hoping those will go on clearance at some point.

All the Wally Worlds in ROckford have nothing. ALl the Target's are fully restocked with up to date Animated figs including about a dozen Blurrs, Swindles, and BlazDowns. Both have Shockwaves as well. THe WalMart are also carrying the legends size Universe figs but all they have left are Animated Starscreams.

I stopped by work on my way home from school. They had restocked with new universe minus smokie and Dinobot. I saw one kid walking out with the only Leo Prime I didn't care sence I have Leobreaker but I wanted a peek at him oh well.

News Credits: 1 · by **Agent 007** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 12:25 pm

I grabbed the last Animated Jetfire/Jetstorm set at Target Rosemont yesterday. He's pretty cool, wish I hadn't paid $22 tho.

The last 4 TFs I've bought have been the last of their kind at that particular store- Ani Blurr, 25th Beachcomber and Brawn, and now the Twins. Am I cursed? Sorry. #-o

Nothing more lately? I'm gunning for Universe Inferno, Leo Prime, and Overload.

Also would love to vatch 25th Anniv Prime at one of those clearance prices that have been posted, $10 at Walmart, $17 at Target. Stopping by a couple tonight, will advise.

Target in Rosemont had 3 Atomic Lugnuts and... 2 Wreck-gars! WG looks great in alt mode, but he's very small, barelybigger than a Dlx, for $22. Ouch; I had to pass on him. *sad*

Edit for embarassing typos.

I can tell you: Wreck-Gar is MUCH bigger in robot mode than vehicle mode. They fit quite a bit in that little alt mode. I just got mine today and I think he3's fantastic. Don't pass him up again...

On my end the WalMart in Rockford on Northridge had 4 universe Dinobots, 4 Smokescreens, and 4 Jetfire/Jetstorm packs.

Last night, Target in Rosemont had a single Universe Dinobot, as well as a couple 25th-Anniv Starscreams, the purty white ones, and some Univ Cheetors. The Wreck-Gar figs I saw earlier were gone, just when I'd decided to bite the bullet and buy him bec. I was sick and had a crappy day. Animated Ultra Magnus was there too for $45, ouch.

There was a young guy looking at TFs too. My throat was killing me and I could barely talk, was that anyone here?

Spotted a Universe Smokescreen and Dinobot at the Rolling Meadows Wal-Mart tonight. They are still there.

BTW, is anyone else noticing that Universe Cheetor seems to be a pegwarmer. I see 3-4 of that toy at almost every store I go to.

I got the last 25th Anniv Legends bumblebee at WM on Rt 83 near North Ave (St. Charles?). They had the latest Univ and 25th Dlxs, like Cyclonus, Cheetor (lots), and Hound. Also had a TFA Shadow Blade Megatron, man he looks good in those colors!
