Went to TRU, Walmart, and Target just now at lunch, looking for Nightwatch Prime. Nothin'. Two weeks ago (before I decided I wanted him as an anniversary gift) I'm tripping over them bec. they're everywhere, and now zip- I did see one yesterday but he had some of his Allspark paint chipsped. Shoulda grabbed him.

FWIW today's search was in the Woodridge-Darien area, no Dlxs either, and pretty std Voy fare- Thundercracker, Evac, Offroad Ironhide. I'm trying not to buy Rescue Ratchet, but I might have to if I can't find anything else fun.

Hip-Hoptimus Rime, I just saw Nightwatch Prime in Carpentersville at two different stores, Wal-Mart and Target. Both locations had at least two.

Also the Target in Carpentersville had several of the new Allspark Scouts. They had two of each Warpath, Stormsurge, and Crosshairs.

Target in Streamwood had those as well, though no Stormsurge. Waiting for Stockade to get here. :?

Thanks.

Apparently, tho, whining is the key- found NW OP at Target in Wooddale, Irving Pk Rd just tonight. Yay! Can't open him until Sunday, but he's mine. They had all the Allspark Scouts, but only the regular Dlxs.

KB Toys at Woodfield Mall had the Allspark Legends Ironhide/Desert Blackout and Nightwatch Prime/Stealth Starscream sets, so I grabbed them. Steep at $10, but I had to have IH and NW OP, or Magnus in my world.

They also had the Allspark Voyagers exc. for Incinerator. FWIW...

I visited the Elgin Wal-Mart and Target and both had nothing new except for the new Movie Scene sets, Capture of Bumblebee and Desert Attack. Figures that my BBTS order would show up right when the set pops up in retail.

Walmart in Dundee, at the corner of 72 and 25, was filled up with All Spark Deluxe's and Voyagers, minus Stockade and Incinerator (of course...) Plenty of Cliffjumpers, Landmines, and Camshaft. A good number of FS Optimus Prime, Off-Road Ironhide, and two Evacs. That was this morning.

I'll have to stop by there later, I need an EVAC.

I checked out the Rolling Meadows Wal-Mart and they had a bunch of Allspark Power Deluxes including 3 Stockades, 5 Cliffjumpers, at least 2 Landmines, and 4-5 Camshafts as well as a few Longarms, Payloads, and at least 1 Recon Barricade. They also had 2 Leader Deep Desert Brawls, 2 Nightwatch Primes, and 1 regular Brawl. Also present were a bunch of wave 2 movie scene sets.

Graagh, must have Stockade and Incinerator! Amazon has them, Stockade for $10 and Incinerator for $30, but you get free shipping over $25. Might just go that way and forget the running around.

I braved the weather, and made a trip to Golf Mill. Target had the same usual old crap and like 20 thundercrackers. Wal-Mart prooved alittle better. They had all new voyagers, even an Incenirator. I still think he should be bigger. But still no Landmine! :cry:

Just found Incinerator at Walmart in Niles, near Golf Rd. and Milwaukee Ave. He was the last one, but they did have the other Allspark Voys but no Dlxs, just the older ones.

And yes, Incinerator is about Blackout's size, prob larger scale tho. FWIW

KMart in Des Plaines (Oakton and Mannheim Rd) had nothing but Allspark figs last night- all the Deluxe, Voy (yes, even Incinerator), and both Leaders (first time I've ever seen Desert Brawl in-store). Also have the newest FABs.

Bad news is the prices: $12 for Dlxs, $54 for Leaders, ouch! But if you're desperate, there they are.

FWIW I picked up another Stockade, that fig is too cool for words.

Walmart in Bridgeview IL. Has ALL of the Deluxe Allspark figures except BB. I picked up 2 Cliffjumpers and there were about 4 left.

Incinerator and Evac were there in force too. At least 8 each. Didn't see any Leaders but I was so excited about CJ I just grabbed him and ran to checkout.

Toys R' Us in Bloomingdale on Army Trail Road had one Overcast and one Jungle Bonecrusher, plus three or four Cliffjumpers and two or three Stockades, and whole bunch of other different types of Movie Transformers. Definitely the best haul I've seen at a TRU in a long time.
