    Jeesh! A few SCUMBAGS ruin it for the rest of us who call toy collecting a hobby.

    Yep. Seriously check my post from last week. Every store I hit had pueces missing because someone decided to steal them.

    Brickseek shows him at $30, but out of stock at all the ones by me.

    Only reason I even checked was several reports of him being on clearance.

    Studio series are at Addison Mall Target. I took Starscream, there were no Blackouts, everything else in the wave is still there.

    Is there a Toys R us in the greater Chicago area that is still nicely stocked and maintained? My best friend is cruising into town, and it would be nice to go on one last toy hunt there together. Not sure it would be fun to visit an emaciated TRU though. :(

    Anyone know where I could pick up a Combiner Wars Swindle and Vortex, in the Chicagoland area? All online prices I’ve seen are too much and was homing a collector store might have them. They’re the last two I need for Bruticus.

    Check KaPow Toys on Belmont and Broadway. They had a bunch of combiner limbs last time I was there.

    As of yesterday, Meijer in BloNo has all the Studio Series from Deluxes to Leaders. Picked up Blackout as he’s the last figure from Wave 1 that I need. Also, Walmart on Greenbriar in BloNo has the one of each of the Studio Series voyagers.
