    Has anyone ever found the beautiful and perfect TLK Wave 3 'Bee out in the wild? All I've seen are Wave 1 and Wave 2 peasants.

    I saw him at the Diversey Walmart, but, like, months ago. I'd be surprised if you saw him now. I doubt anyone's ordering more TLK.

    Are you in the city? Because there's definitely one at the Addison/Kimball K-Mart, saw it there today.

    Saw Grim, Starscream, and Elita 1 at Target in Blono. Picked up Elita. Assuming there was a Hun Gurr, but I didn’t get to it

    Remember they repackaged early wave stuff with Cogman. I saw the remnants of the Bee wave one time but never say him. Ended up going EBay.

    if I see one, I’ll grab it

    Was it on Touhy? I think that’s the one I saw it at

    I think there's still an Elita at the Addison Mall Target. I didn't see it today, but it was there for a few days without being snatched up.

    If anyone's looking for it, there is a Rodimus Unicronus at Belmont/Western TRU.

    I ordered mine online some time ago. I haven’t heard of any reports of him being in store unless it was a return or a discount store.

    Picked up Rippersnapper and Blackwing at the BloNo Walmart on Market St. They only had one of each though... no Sludge Snarl or Moonracer.

    Anyone know if Rolling Meadows Wal-Mart still has Sludge? He's the only one I'm looking for and will be close to their later but don't want to make the extra trip for nothing

    Forest Park Walmart has absolute zero POTP stuff. Toys R Us in North Riverside is all Starscreams and Dreadwinds. Can't help but feel they should have released some deluxe Seekers to pair up with Starscream. When combiners have a clear (and advertised) group, people tend to buy them all.
    Target in Cicero has nothing new either.

    If anyone sees a lone TLK Wave 3 'Bee and is somewhere around downtown or the south side, please pick it up for me. Only that yellow piece of shoddily manufactured plastic can fulfill the hole in my soul.

    Seriously, I have never seen that, Hot Rod, or Cogman in the wild. I and many others just resorted to eBay
