Please post your TF toy finds for Illinois in here. Be sure to post the town the store was in where you found stuff so other members know if it is near them.

New member, so first, hello. Haha.

I went to the Target in Chicago on Addison and Grace I believe (the one near Kedzie), and they were sucked completely dry of figures.

I'll be making some rounds tomorrow, so I'll be sure to keep you fellow Chicagoans/Illinois..ans.. updated!

Heads up, there are a handful of '74 Bumblebees and Barricades at the Kohls in Lincolnwood Mall for my Chicago heads.

by **DorkimusPrime** » Sat Aug 04, 2007 4:11 pm

there's a couple classics Bumblebees, a classics Megatron, a classics Prime, and 5-6 movie deluxe Jazz's at the Sears in Pekin, along with some of the teeny-tiny Cybertron toys, and a couple Cybertron Red Alerts.

The Super Walmart on Perryville in Rockford seems to have decided to shift out all their backstock. These can be found
in the clearance area between Lawn And Garden and Hardware;

5- Classics Astrotrain
2- Classics Megtron
2- Classics Optimus Prime
1- Classics Devastator

3- Alternators Rumble

1- Cybertron Optimus Primal
1- Cybertron Metroploex ( The Package is Damaged ).

A bit of a note; Though they're in the clearance section, they're still going for Retail Price.

The Toys R' Us up the road a bit had nothing to note but the following;

1- Titanium Soundwave
3- GI Joe 25th Anniversary 5 Pack

Super Wal-mart in Peru (newly opened, by Kohl's at I-80) had big piles of movie stuff of all types...but no BB'08s. Leaders of Prime and Megs, tons of Deluxes, all the Voyagers except for Blackout (I got the last one)...big deals afoot

by **STARSCRAPER** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 1:29 pm

Last night I stopped by the TRU in Niles, on Milwaukee and Golf, and they had two Cybertron Primus' let, sans the unicron head.

I also went to the Wal-Mart on Algonquin, near Woodfield Mall. They had a lot of leftovers, including:

2 Classics Cliffjumper
2 Classics Ramjet
3 Classics Jetfire
4 Classics Optimus Prime

5+ 20th Anniversary Optimus Primes

Alt. Rollbar and Skids

And a bunch of Cybertron figures, including t-rex Megatrons, Skywarp, Demolishor (Demolisher?), and LOT of the smaller figures.

When it comes to movie figures, they didn't have anything but a single deluxe Brawl, in the clearance aisle.

Oh, they had some Robot Heroes as well, including the pack with Megs, OP, Skywarp, and Mirage.

Hope this helps someone!

The Kohl's in Mt. Prospect on RT.83 had at least three 08 Bumblebee's left as of last night.

EDIT: I listed this sighting at the wrong store in the sightings listings. It was at this one.

Not anymore. There were two Rumbles and one badly hidden Ravage there this afternoon and I got them.

The Northridge Walmart in Rockford has relocated
the transformers about 5 feet down, though there isn't any
new stock, really.

They had 3 or 4 of the Roleplay dingers, 3 Optimus/Unicron Robot Heros 2 pack, the Real Gear 2-Packs (Grabbed a Spy Shot/Longview) plenty of voice-changers, misc. 3" Titaniums,
the Blaster (Screamer and Op.), and the Flypaper things.
They also had 1 Robot Replicas Bumblebee, 2 Barricades and 1 Megatron.

No Leaders (and they had a HUGE amount of Megs and Op. not but 2 weeks ago) no voyagers, no deluxe. The dry spell goes on.

EDIT: In addition:

2 FAB Frenzys
2 Unleashed Optimus

Hey, I went to the Kohl's and the Kay Bee Toys in Lincolnwood Mall today, and Kohl's was all out of everything except some scattered Scorponoks and Wreckages.

The Kay Bee was a different story however, they had a bunch of the new wave figures, except concept BB and Arcee basically. A handfull of Dreadwings, Payloads, and Longarms.

And the Target on Touhy in Niles had three G1 Repaint Starscreams as of yesterday, so go!

All of these have been posted in the sightings area!

Good luck hunting!

The big guy has landed, sort of.

Went to Target on Cicero, near Midway Airport, and they had two. So he is availible in Chicago....

BY the way Kohls still has Arcee and 08BB, and if anyone ifs interested, they are a few Classic voyager jetfires and Optimus Primes at Walmart on Cicero

Stopped by the North Ridge again this morning, figured I'd try
my hand. No dice, really. They did get a small stock of
Unleashed Optimus Primes, though. 5, to be exact.

Planned on hitting The East State and West Riverside Walmarts,
but nothing goin'. More rain coming in.

I'm sick of rain...
