To be honest with you guys, I'm not sure what that is. I assume its some form of chocolate, but I haven't seen it.

You mean to tell me the wife bought them and didn't share??? Shame on her!

On the other hand, Halloween WAS last week...maybe they were for trick-or-treaters....

They had these sets at Walmart, too... a week or so ago.

I've seen 25th Anniversary Prime twice yesterday at the Rolling Meadows and Carpentersville Wal-Marts. Also both stores, along with the Elk Grove store, seem to be overloaded with Movie deluxes even with the markdown to $7.77.

The target where I work finally has an Ultra Magnus so, I'm pickin him up while I'm at work. With the add and my team member discount I'm gettin him for $27!

Just rub it in why don't you?

It's getting to be the holiday season with Thanksgiving less than three weeks away and Christmas only about 4 weeks after that. Anyone else thinking a Seibertron Christmas party might not be a bad idea?

I will! lol jk but yeah I picked him up and he's a pretty cool figure I can't fiddle around with him too much tonight cause I have school tomorrow, but for the hour or two I've had him I think he's better than leader megs. Other then the two I have I might still get Blurr, Jazz, Blitzwing, and maybe voyager prime.

I would have no problem with that.

I don't have a problem either. Need to look into a couple of sports bar/restaurants around here to see where we could meet up.

Thanks to Tim Formas over at TFW, I found Activators Grimlock, Megatron and Bandit Lockdown at the Walmart on Meacham in Elk Grove Village. There was still 1 Grimlock and 1 Megatron left on the pegs when I left around 1:30. Working on the galleries for the latest Activators right now.

The TRU in Schaumburg had a bunch of figures. Newest things I saw there was Storm Cloud (which is the first time I've seen him in stores) and the Grimlock and Prowl Titaniums.

The Target on Touhy in Niles had a couple of Tread Bolts in stock yesterday.

Picked up the two latest Star Wars TFs on sale for $13.49 at the Target at Higgins and Meacham in Schaumburg.

Still haven't seen Storm Cloud out here in Rockford. As a matter of fact, haven't seen Animated Ultra Magnus yet either. Kinda depressing if not for having already ordered UM from BBTS....and being broke...being in school sucks.

my target gets Storm cloud in quite a bit. Just see if they have more ultras in the back. Btw I saw Blitzwing at wally the other day and I'm wondering what everyone thinks of him?

I liked him...not so much the tank mode, but overall pretty decent. I find the rotating head feature to be a little hard to use. 7 out of 10.

Yeah, I was a little disappointed in Blitzwing as well. Something just isn't right about him.

I meant to mention that I saw another "returned" Transformers yesterday at the Target in Schaumburg on Higgins and Meacham. This time it was the basic Obsidian mold inside of the Marvel TF Iron Man packaging. This kid is making me sick that he keeps returning figures in packaging. What makes me even more sick is that the people at the stores aren't noticing this scheme. Some of the returns are pretty obvious while others haven't if you are unfamiliar with the product.

so would any of you say he's worh the money?

Mr.Bond007 wrote:so would any of you say he's worh the money?

If you're referring to Blitzwing, I'd still say he's worth the money. Most everyone I've talked to about the figure like him. He's a large figure for a Voyager. I just feel like he's one of the few figures in this line that didn't translate well from animated version to toy version.

well I went to the golf mill wal-mart and picked him up and I like him. I really like the tank mode, but they should have given him weapons.

Saw some of the newer waves such as Universe wave 3 and Animated Wave 4 at Rolling Meadows Walmart.

I found all of the other Target exclusives at the Hoffman Estates Target off 59 this morning (both Legends 5 packs, movie 2 battle scene 2 packs, universe comic 2 packs and animated lockdown and ratchet 3 packs). Didn't actually see the movie figures but based on other reports they're out and since all of the other target exclusives were on the end cap facing the board games, i'm assuming they were there earlier this morning or yesterday since the shelf space and prices were there for them. The Animated Legends figures all have paint variants from individually packaged figures. Hopefully I'll have some galleries for all of you by next week.

Also found the latest Star Wars TF figures at various Targets around Schaumburg/Niles.

Ironhide is at Golf Mill Walmart. Lots of Titaniums, Unicrons and other TRU exclusives at Golf Mill TRU.

25th Optimus is showing up at all stores in the area. Lots of stuff out there. Go find it my friends!

Keeping an eye out for Cyclonus and the rest of Universe Deluxe wave 4

Damn, I drove right by that one this afternoon. I'll have to stop there tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up Ryan.

Picked up my Springer/Ratbat comic pack last night at the Target on 63rd st in Woodridge. They also had all the new target packs on the end cap facing the board games just as others have been posting.

The Target on Elmhurst and Diversey in Chicago had ALL of the Target exclusives yesterday and lots of them. I imagine all Targets must be releasing these exclusives this week.

Welcome to Seibertron.com AlkalinePunk! Looks like you're not too far from me. I'm over in Des Plaines about 3 miles away from the Higgins Target in Rosemont.

Hey Chris! It was great meeting you at the Kane County toyfair. It means a lot to me that you stopped by to say hello to all of us Seibertronians here.

I haven't really seen anything new at stores lately. I do have the wave 4 legends figures on the way from BBTS (Beachcomber, Animated Starscream, etc) as well as the next wave of Robot Heroes (Perceptor, "Bomb"shell, etc).

I've been working on a big project for Seibertron.com during the past couple of weeks but I hope to launch this new feature soon so that I can return to working on the galleries.

I stopped by the Target in Hoffman Estates yesterday and they had two of the new screen battles packs (both of them) and comic packs (also both of them). They also had at least six of the new Ratchet and Lockdown repaints and a few of the DVD Prime sets as well as the usual assortment on the aisles.

God it was bad friday, couldn't even move around in toys. Anyway all we put out tf related was the G1 Prime sets, a space for screen battle packs, the animated packs, and the comic packs.

I found the Universe wave 4 figures at the Bollingbrook Walmart. Working on the galleries tonight.

Legends Starscream was at the Rolling Meadows Walmart.

are we talking about the wal mart on 53?

matticus wrote:are we talking about the wal mart on 53?

Yes, but I got the last of them.

The Cyclonus face looks so much better after I took a metallic silver sharpie to it.

Walmart in Orland Hills Illinois got the following:

Universe 2.0

Cyclonus (4), Hound (4), Starscream G1(2), Ironhide (5), Sunstreaker (6), Silverstreak (4), Galvatron (3), Tankor (2), Sideswipe (3), Prowl (5), Silverbolt (2), Overload/haul not sure of name (3), Cheetor (2), Beachcomber (6). BB (4), Brawn (4)

Animated

Pretty much all of the previous wave releases with the new Activators Lockdown, Megatron, Ratchet, Starscream. Not sure of quantity as this was most of the TF section.

Legacy of BB pack, I think there were 5 left.

Walmart TF Animated board game a whole end cap of those on sale for 15.88.

Target in Orland Park, IL. had the comic two packs, a good amount, but nothing new that I noticed.

Kmart in Tinley Park had the exclusive minicon 12 packs. A good amount of those. Nothing else worth mentioning.

I saw Universe Cheetor and there is only one left. I found him at the Walmart on 83. I think thats in Elmhurst or villa park. They had alot of universe Treadbolt

I picked up a Universe Hound and Cyclonus today at the Carpentersville TRU. They had one left of each along with two Cheetors as well as 2 of each WW Prowl and Grimlock.

Found a "Battle in Space" 2-pack (deluxe Prowl and Megatron) at the Carpentersville Wal-Mart. Haven't seen that one before. I bought the only one.

anybody see the new universe deluxes on the northside?

Mr.Bond007 wrote:anybody see the new universe deluxes on the northside?

Sorry bro, closest I got was Toys R Us in Schaumburg, near Woodfield- I got the last Hound and Cyclonus this morning.

SCored at the Target on E. State in Rockford. Animated Blurr, Swindle, and Blazing Lockdown. First time I've seen em anywhere...

Still looking for Inferno...any luck anyone else?

well another fruitless hunt for me. I visited the golf mill target and it looked worse than Wal-mart and that's saying something. I know that target is a busy one but this was the worst toy section I've ever seen. Bakugun everywhere on the floor and scattered throughout. I managed to find a cheetor but I couldn't find Hound or Cyclonus anywhere. I couldn't find any backroom locations either and I didn't even bother looking for a team member cause there were none around. I played scavenger hunt for about 10 mins and found a bunch of tfs but none of what I wanted. I'll just wait til this weekend and try to find em at my target. That target need serious help. Ok rant over!

Bakugan is everywhere because it's not selling. The assorted Japanese anime-based games seem to be falling out of favor (finally...Pokemon is the DEVIL) with kids as newer American cartoons make the rounds like Ben 10, etc. On that note...Total Drama Island is the best cartoon ever.

Walmart on 53 in bolingbrook has had the same stock since the day after x-mas 2 Ironhide and a sideswipe from Universe, soundwave from animated and 1 blades. The Tru on 75th in bollingbrook has 1 ton of mudflap, 25th prime, a small selection of animated.

Naperville target, tru, and walmart have a problem with updating the stock as well.

I had better luck today! Roadbuster/Dirge in abundance at Target on north ave in St. Charles, also freeway battle no universe delux
Tru in St.Chas Unicron, 25th prime, tons of jetstorm and animated, also 1 delux brawl.
Walmart in St.chas has 6 cheetor, 2 hound 1 cyclonis. Got my cyclonis and 2 starscreams lol!

dropped by the walmart in mount prospect on my way home from work. I picked up voyager grimmy he's a pretty sweet figure btw, also a rather funny sight; an energon starscreme slid into a movie thundercracker box. I didn't think the wal-mart people were that stupid to let that one slide! Also stopped by the arlington heights target found nothing but they had all the holiday tf packs 30% off they also had 25th prime on sale as well.
