Thanks bro

You're quite welcome. I just signed a contract to work with the Rockford Ice Hogs AHL team (the Blackhawks farm club) on the training staff for the 9th year, so I also am gainfully (somewhat)employed (if woefully underpaid...LOL). I thought it was kind of funny that I was a training camp hold out...never saw much use to it before! Incidentally this is the first year I actually will have a salary... So we need to celebrate. If we ever meet we can buy each other rounds!

Lol, that would be awesome dude.

We should plan a get together soon. You guys want to try Schaumburg area again? Tilted Kilt is now open and there's the gaming place by Woodfield that I know a lot of folks like.

Unfortunately my girl would kill me for even stepping into tilted kilt... So unfortunately that's a little out of my abilities.. I just wish there were something down my way that was with everyone coming to for a meet more this way... Hmmmmm....

In all seriousness, take your girl there for dinner some time. My wife loves the place! Awesome food! Garlic parmesan fries FTW

Hm... Maybe, if I can convince her to go where there are a bunch of half naked chicks running around.. She won't even go into a hooters though, O.o.

Scored a Guzzle today at the Loves Park/Northridge Wal Mart. There was one left on the shelf when I left...good luck!

Has anyone seen the Walmart exclusive orange Roadbuster at stores? I'm tired of looking for this silly repaint.

I was gonna ask the same question. The south side has been dry!

I'll check walmart's for you guys tomorrow

As of yesterday, nothing new at Mount Prospect, Niles, or Rollling Meadows Walmarts.

Earlier today, I saw all four of the deluxe Target DOTM exclusives (Space Case, Arcee, Jazz, and 'Bee).

Nothing new at Glen Ellyn WM either, Rt 53 and Butterfield.

East Dundee Walmart didn't have anything either.

I FINALLY acquired Windcharger!

First Aid, check your private messages.

EVERYONE ELSE....CHECK YOUR FIVE BELOW STORES THEY ARE OUT THERE!

Which store did you find yours at? How many did they have? Any RTS Wreck-Gars? Thx for the HU, I'm going to check Schaumburg tonight.

Rockford, and there was like....four or five to a wheel barrel. Also I'm editing this a couple hours later. But there was no Deluxe Reveal The Shield figures Hip-Hotimus, only scout class. Sorry if you read this before and mistook what I meant I was still running on 3 hours sleep after working from Midnight to 8am lol

I love those Five Below stores. Now that's a "dollar" store done right. You can get a lot of great things for $5, and it's not all crap like it is at a regular dollar store.

Thanks for the info Gorechyld! I got the last one at the Rockford store, but they still had a wheelbarrow full of RTS basics, including a couple Chopsaws. Also checked the TRU while I was there...they had Skyhammer and Undertow PCC two packs...first time I've actually seen those in the stores. And they had 20 cases of Ultimate Optimus Prime....

The 5 Below on 75th St (Woodridge?) had 2 Windchargers that I saw- one I bought, the other was stuck to the sign w/ the $5 price. I dug thru most of the wheelbarrow and didn't see any more, tho. There were a few more RTS Scouts at the back of the store, but I didn't comb thru them.

Windcharger is really cool, but his plastic is slightly translucent. *shrug*

Just an FYI- the TRU in Rockford, after having next to nothing on the shelves deluxe-wise yesterday, have restocked with....(drumroll)...

three cases of ROTF deluxes

However, the TRU in New Berlin, WI, just off Blue Mound Road had TF:Prime Starscream, BB, and Arcee out. I have a friend who teased me with a picture this morning...the bastitch..

God I hate our TRU so goddamn much

No Windcharger sightings at Merrillville 5 Below.

They had tons of Legends figures for those still looking.

Merr. TRU had a sprinkling of Prime figures floating around.

Thats all I saw the other day, so I will keep reporting as always.

TRU in ROckford has two Prime BB's left. Many thanks to TJ Duckett for PMing me this morning to get Arcee, Starscream, and BB (he hid them for me and therefore earned free alcohol and/or hockey tickets!). I don't know if they have another case in the back, but at least we know they have them. Oh, and they only have 10 cases of Ultimate Optimus Primes left...(which means they SOLD 10 cases over the weekend...wow!)

Rolling Meadows had 2 Cyberverse Guzzles and at least 1 Dark Sentinel Prime around 5pm tonight. Also had the police car (Chase?) Rescue Bots TF.

Higgins Rd Target in Schaumburg had 1 Guzzle and a couple of Dark Sentinel Primes around 3pm this afternoon. Lots of Voyagers including Shockwave and Sentinel Prime if you're interested.

Nothing special at Rolling Meadows Walmart.

Schaumburg Toys R Us didn't have any TF Prime toys left. Had the police car (Chase?) Rescue Bots TF. Nothing else special to report.

Also checked Five Below in Schaumburg around 2:30pm this afternoon ... had tons of RTS Legends still by the checkout, found no Windchargers in the front wheelbarrow but I did see a couple of Chopsaws remaining for those of you looking for him. I didn't see any other TFs in the back of the store.

Last night, TRU in Downers Grove, Butterfield Rd, had a single Cannon Force Ironhide, and one TF Prime Bumblebee. Target in Yorktown Mall had nothing new.

I'm trying to hold off on TF Prime toys so I can get them for Christmas, give my wife and kids a chance to get me something I don't have already. Hopefully the 2-pack and Voyagers will hit before then.

That was my intent originally as well. I held out a whole 14 seconds.

TRU in MErrillville had 1-2 each of SS, Arcee and Bee.

5 Below next door had Windchargers at 1-2 pm

Kohls in Highland had Air Raid and Darksteel as of 5:30pm or so.

I give you credit for going out into the angry mobs today and surviving.
