Rockford Toys R Us had four RITR sets and had one Darkmount. One. No Megatrons, no additional figures, just one Darkmount. Who is mine now. My bet is that he was an exchange from someone.

Went back to the Orland Park TRU yesterday afternoon, cause I knew thay had a stash of W2 Generations in boxes in overhead of the shelves looking to score a Megatron for my buddy looking for 1. 5 boxes containing 3 Megatrons each, all were opened and only Megs had been removed. The work of a scalper I know. Funny how all the Darkmounts were still in the boxes. :-?

Don't fret too much. The next wave which has also been sighted has more Megatron and Darkmount

Man I so want that set. Has anyone seen that set around the Schaumburg or Niles area over this weekend?

I bought Gens Megatron and Darkmount at Target Rosemont. They had one Darkmount left as of about 30 mins ago.

That is all.

Cool, I'm interested to see the gallery for Rampage, since we've yet to see any good shots of him, especially compared to his other decos.

S'all good, that's the one I could care less about. I'm mostly interested in this new version put next to the other two Hasbro releases.

Took my business trip to Schaumburg. Found Darkmount and Gen. Megatron at Schaumburg TRU. Did any body find them at Target around here? Checked the Target on Higgins Road and they don't have. May check the other one Barrington Road tomorrow.

I don't think I've seen any of the new waves at either Target or Wal Mart. Very weird to see TRU getting stuff first...is this Toys R Us trying to take advantage of the collector's market? Maybe...

News Credits: 2 · Tue Sep 14, 2010 9:28 am

Don't know. TRU got the first wave earliest. So it's about time they start showing the second wave, even though there are still bunch of over stock leftovers (Tuner Mudflap, I'm talking about you).

Target and WM finished their reset much later but seems like some stores are sneaking through some second waves despite of the sale on first wave. I prefer Target now because they have the cheapper price on deluxe class so far.

Some WM stores in MN sell second wave voyagers (Banzaitron and OP) together with first wave after they finished reset.

But since I haven't seen any Darkmount and Gen. Megatron in MN last week before I left, getting them here in IL is a bonus.

Algonquin TRU had three of the Rampage at the Ruins set, two Exclusive Legends Green Devastator, and one MP Grimlock. No new generations or HFTD waves.

News Credits: 3647 · Tue Sep 14, 2010 12:36 pm

As of 12:00 noon, Golf Mill Toys R Us had 6 TFA Rodimus, 3 TFA Ironhides, 7 Rampage Among the Ruin sets, the wave 2 HFTD scouts and I think that was it for new stuff.

Rand Rd Target in Arlington Heights had the wave 2 HFTD Legends figures.

Mount Prospect Walmart had 2 Darkmounts and 2 Cybertronian Megatrons as of about 30 minutes ago.

Happy hunting!

Thanks Ryan! Won't be able to make it out there today, but I might stop by TRU here in Downers Grove to see what's up.

News Credits: 2 · Tue Sep 14, 2010 3:38 pm

Just a quick note: HTFD wave two and three deluxes are listed as In Stock on Hasbro Toy Shop! Also, Megatron, SOundwave, Red Alert, were also listed as In Stock as of 4:35PM CST.

Any free shipping codes for HTS? EDIT- $13 for Deluxes?! Forget it, I'll wait for 'em. :-x

That's what I said too.

Wal Mart on E State in Rockford finally got Wave 2 of the HFTD deluxes. They had that Skids repaint, Elita 1, and Hailstorm on the shelf as of last night at 11pm...about 2 of each except they had like 5 million of the Skids repaints.

it's been a good while since i posted. but recently i had a family emergency and i've been on the download, and haven't really hunted. hope to start soon and come by more often.

i know i missed a bunch but i recall Ryan getting married. Congratulations R.

TRU at Golf Mill had 2 TFA Ironhides, no Rodimuseseses. But the new Animated figs are 15 freakin bucks! WTH, man? The older TFA Deluxes are $13, and the Generations are only 12. I wouldn't even mind paying 15, but it's insulting when there are other Deluxes for less. I left them behind.

*Spleen vent closing*

They also had one each of Generations Red Alert and Soundwave, I bought both. Felt bad for a guy that came up, looked at them in my hands, and said, "Aw, you beat me to them."

They also had about 3 Rampage Among the Ruins sets, and the Optimus Prime Stealth Force guy. About midway between Voyager and Leader size, it's a fun gimmick but expensive at $25.

Found Activators Ironhide and Starscream at the Golf Mill Walmart. There was 1 Starscream left after I made my purchase. No Ironhides left. Galleries soon!
