Shoot Ryan, I'm really sorry to hear about that. Is there anything we can do to help? Are you insured?
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

Holy crap, Ryan, so sorry to hear that. I too had some middle-of-the-night dealings in the basement, starting up my second sump pump and pulling stuff off the floor. Had a few trickles of water come in from foundation cracks I didn't know I had.

I never realized that those plastic tubs could tip over and fill up. I wish I could help. Good luck.

They're up now, but the GI JOE Starscream Skystriker jet is out of stock. Ultimate Optimus is still available as of this post. I might get the My Little Pony for my daughter.

The site must have some heavy heavy traffic, it keeps timing out.

I ended up with a Skystriker, Ultimate OP, and Prime/Prime today. I did not anticipated getting Ultimate OP, it was more impules. Now that it is sold out I am glad I'm not left with that, "I should have" feeling.

On a positive sightings note, Des Plaines Kmart had 4 case fresh ROTF Leader Class Optimus Primes in stock for $49.99.

Ugh, that is heartbreaking. There's stuff there I've never even seen before. I hope you're able to salvage the toys themselves.

Those with electronics may be OK once they dry out. It might be necessary to- *gulp*- rinse them in clean water first. Best of luck.

Dang, hope you can bounce back from that alright, Ryan. Besides all those boxes, how many actual Transformers toys did you lose?

Is this the first Ultimate Prime sighting at a Target in this area? All the local stores I've seen have had absolutely pathetic displays of TFs compared to WalMart and TRU...
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

I think I saw somewhere else that another person had seen the Ultimate Prime at Target yesterday or today. I think Target's starting to reset their displays, and that's when you'll see that and the Ark set. Transformers lost their two endcap displays, so everything was squished into the aisle display.

Early August does seem to be when the major chains reset their displays. That would make sense.

Yeah, I was just thinking the other day about how it was nearly a year ago that we had a huge drought of Transformers, and then all of a sudden a flood of the new Generations toys came in, with Drift, Thrust, and WFC Prime and Bumblebee leading the way.

To reference an old classic, HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!

I have something to report to my fellow Rockford Seibertronians, I walked into TRU today and low and behold Ultimate Optimus Prime was sitting on the bottom of the shelves, two or three infact. I looked him over and....ehhhhhh...I want him. But at the moment he just seems to much to handle..and that 80 dollar price tag...YIKES!

But then my eyes wandered up and to the left, and I couldn't believe my eyes. Wheeljack, Thundercracker AND Warpath on the end cap! :D

I snagged one of each for myself, and then hid the others on the pegs. There's still one of each, just look behind ROTF Black Ravage and you shall be rewarded, thankfully the ROTF packaging and Generations packaging is almost similiar. So passer bys will hopefully just glance instead of digging. But they are there, and I behoove either of my fellow Rockfordians to head out there IF you need them still.

My Generations collection is now complete! :grin:

Well with the exception of Thunderwing, who I sold..because..meh he was just mediocre and I don't remember the character that well. Had he been Jhiaxus, like he possibly should have been I would have held onto him a tad longer.
