There are three Brainstorms at the Armitage/Milwaukee/Western Walgreens, all clearanced at $12 a pop. Anyone's been waiting to pull the trigger on that guy, go for it.

 

Wal mart in Pontiac had 2 TR Bumblebees. First time I have seen those. Also all the newest titain masters, can't remember their names. But that weird looking lion dude was one of them. Nothing else new.

 

Anyone have a botcon Rapido they would be willing to sell me? I want one.

 

There's an auction on ebay for the Rapido/Cindersaur pack at $59 currently. Not a bad deal if you can win it at a decent price and unload Cindersaur. Rapido is going for ~$60 on his own pretty regularly. I managed to find the set at this past TFcon for $60, haven't found the time to unload Cindersaur yet. I'm not into G2 color schemes but Rapido looks great.

 

Addison Mall Target put out two Thrilling 30 Roadbusters. Because, well, I'm actually pretty sure they're fucking with us.

 

Thanks, I was wondering if that was a good deal.

 

Belmont/Western TRU.

 

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

 

I want to resist these, I'd rather have the Blitzwing/Octane repaints. But I have a debit card, it would be so easy...

 

If you want Octane, don't get Optimus. I'm enjoying him, but I can't, for even a minute, imagine owning two copies of this mold.

 

Marvel Legends collectors: The new Guardians of the Galaxy wave with BAF Titus has been spotted in Walgreens in other parts of the country. Hoping I can snag a Darkhawk!

 

Hey dude, just left a Darkhawk on the shelf Dempster and Crawford Walgreens. Yondu too!

 

Oh man, and I'm all the way out in Algonquin! Good to know they're showing up in the area though. Thanks for the heads up!

 

Did you see Target accidentally early released many of the new X-Men wave too... Crazy stuff!

 

Thanks. Fell into that trap with TR Sentinel Prime before Astrotrain came out.

 

Incidentally, if any Chicagoans (or near enough) wanna go splitsies on a Velocitron set when it comes out, let me know. The only parts I'm at all interested in are Rodimus and Nautica. (Really mostly Nautica.) There's gotta be somebody around who wants a Quickswitch but couldn't care less about MTMTE.

 

Walmart off 111th and 94 has a voyager megs and Optimus, and two leader soundwaves for $39.

Also a bunch of recent RiD and Titans Return deluxes for $14.99.

 

Hey Everyone! I have huge life news and a hand extended out for help from fellow TF Chicagoan Fans and members of Paulcon. I recently accepted a major job in the Tinley Park/Homewood/Flossmoor/Oak Forest area and am needing some housing help until my wife and kids relocate to the area. We're trying to keep costs down during the transition. Would anyone or a group of you be able to put me up (for a chunk of time or on a rotational basis) in a spare bedroom/basement, AirBnB style? I'd be willing to pay! My first day on the job is Monday, March 13 and I'd need to have a place or places lined up by the day before.

If any of you are wondering who the heck I am, I'm the guy who brought the large papercraft movie Optimus Prime pieces to PaulCon at Dojatron's house. Many of you I've met before and some of you I've even roomed with a prior Botcons! I also have really good feedback as seen here: automaster | eBay

Would anyone be willing to help a guy out during what is probably the most significant career opportunity of his life?  

EDIT: I should add that I won't be there on weekends, I'll go back home to my family. Strictly in the evenings after 6pm until I get up for work the next morning.

 

Logan/Western Target.

 

Going for a long shot, but a few years ago at one of the meetups, someone was giving away some JoJo's Bizarre Adventure figures. If anyone who grabbed some still has any of them and want to get rid of them, let me know! I got the Jotaro one, but I'm on a big Jojo's Bizarre Adventure kick right now!
