    I guess what I forget is that this is the Illinois thread, not the Chicago thread. There aren’t any Walmart’s in the city, aside from the wasteland on north ave with a toy section the size of a bathroom and the half size walmart on Diversey.

    You may have a different situation in the suburbs or more rural sections of the state. All we have is targets here and they’ve now put their stock out and it’s gone.

    Just bought Siege Megatron from the Broadway/Montrose Target last night. Left behind an Ultra Magnus and one each of Megatron and Optimus Prime.

    If anyone's still looking, Ultra Magnus and Shockwave are at Addison Mall.

    the siege stuff is pretty pricey for the size but damn the quality is up there. the only bad figure ive encountered so far is megs, mine has a bad ankle and floppy neck. but thats one figure out of wave 1 so super impressed.

    i might just buy another if I find a retail one and return the defect. I like the figure i just think i got a bad copy.

    Actually I found my Shockwave there but it was on the top shelf on its side in “overstock” but none were below. They also had deluxes as of Tuesday. Golf Mill location

    I’ve also seen the micromaster jets a few times and have resisted buying them. I am determined to not buy everything!

    I stopped going to Walmart’s altogether.
    Mostly for sanity reasons, but partially because they always have nothing.

    Champaign Target has siege Optimus, Shockwave, the smaller two packs and singles, and no deluxe. Also has the Captain Marvel wave of legends, and no NECA stuff.

    Addison WalMarr has Primes. All the boxes are dinged up tho so if $50 wasn’t bad enough...

    Also, found this gem at Rosemont Target. Still there for $29.99 if anyone wants!
