Walmart is still a TF desert, just a few RiDs and a couple CW Leader Megatrons at the Glen Ellyn store.

Also, a heads up, I updated my sales thread, lots of new stuff, I'd love to deal locally to avoid the hassle of shipping. Thanks!

Target In Niles on Touhy has a Titanium Series War Within Grimlock in stock. Yes the toys r us exclusive one from like 2008/2009. Looks like someone pealed the exclusive sticker off and returned it. Rings up as a generations leader class figure at $44.99



That's funny. I saw an Animated Voyager Prime at a Target around Christmas time, and it was scanning as $25 or whatever the current Voyager price is.

This morning I found the CW Protectobot limbs at Walmart in Glen Ellyn, Rt. 53 and Butterfield. They had only one Blades, which I bought, but a couple each of Streetwise, First Aid, and Rook. They are on the topmost shelf. $14.97.

Nice repaints!

Did you scan the Coneheads? If it's an online return, likely to be way marked down. I think $22 is what's most commonly reported for those since they're not a store-stocked item.

I second this, Amazing Fantasy books has some TF's in stock at all locations. If Frankfort does not have it try the other locations. Usually, the Tinley Park locations has them. They are quite pricey but worth it. :CON:

Schaumburg Target ( Meachum/Higgens) had a single Scattershot in stock tonight. (boy does that figure leave much to be desired. Between the 7 Targets, 3 Toys R Us's, and 2 Walmarts I hit up within this past week (some twice), thats the only sign of anything new in that scale I have seen. No hints of new legends either :(. My poor Bruticus limbs are just sitting in boxes on a shelf waiting to be combined.

About two weeks ago at Amazing Fantasy Comics in Tinley Park there was one. I haven't been there recently so I don't know if it is still in stock. Usually no one buys the toys because they are priced higher. There is a sale for Free Comic Book Day, this Saturday where everything is 25% off. So, you might want to check that out. I hope this helps!
