From checking online my local WM doesn't have him, but I did order him on their site and he got here in like 3 days! I was amazed. Now my classics are up to date. Now I'm just waiting on Takara 10th Annv. BW Megs and Primal to get here along with Ravage and Rumble Alts.
I am convinced that the entire state of IL is not getting anything good from Wal-Mart. Even NYC is beating us to the punch, which never happens.
I was surprised to find an Alt Mirage in the NW Chicago 'burbs at Wal Mart when everyone was going on about the difficulty in finding him. Alas, that was the last time I've been able to find anything I really wanted in any good amount of time I'm still resisting buying Devy online though. I'm not in such dire need for him that I'll pay extra for shipping.
Well I drive a trailblazer, so I figure I spend as much on gas driving around looking for the guys as I do on s&h. I think it's a fair trade off since I really don't have time to get away from work to go and look for the lil' bastards.
Ditto..I live in Rockford, IL and all we get here is Alternators Prime, Nemesis and Richoocet, sp? In big figs over Dexluxe, all we get is Cyb. Sky Shadow, Cyb. Menasor and the two-pack Opt. and Megs, as well as Galaxy Force Optimus and Metroplex. TRU is all the way over on the other side of town, but thankfully my $25dollar Superme Starscream was well worth it.
I've been to 4 WalMarts around Chicago and only 1 had Devastator and none had the new Alts. North Ave, Melrose Park - Nothing Kingry Dr, Oak brook - Nothing Rosevelt Dr, Forest park - Devastator Touhy Ave, Skokie - nothing You probably mean the Touhy one right? That used to be a great WM but every time I go there lately, they have nothing now. However if you want Devy, hit me via PM. The one in Forest Park is right around the corner and has them. I can pick it up and when I move up north this weekend, I'll bring it there to transfer to you.
Nah, I'm wedged over on the other side of O'hare, Schaumburg (AKA Ikea-land) Im'a keep idly hunting, thanks. I like finding stuff on my own, even if it takes extra aggrivation . I have to have something to look forward to on the drive home from work.
lol, fair enough BTW, what is the name of the mall out by Ikea. I can't think of it for the life of me.
I've been covering the entire NW area for a week now. Nothing. Palatine Wheeling Vernon Hills Gurnee Lake Zurich Rolling Meadows Mt Prospect Crystal Lake Streamwood I've even tried out west near the GF's place over the weekend. Glen Ellyn Villa Park Naperville I completely give up. No signs of Classics Devastator. No signs of Rumble or Ravage.
Go to Forest Park. They have tons of Devys. If you are willing to travel to Villa park/Oak Brook, you can go there. it's about the distance of naperville but the other way. Take the 290 toward downtown and get off at Des Plains. Make a right and it takes you right to the Walmart there.
I broke down and just ordered mine from Walmart.com about 5 minutes ago cant wait to get him. I was tired of the Big lots Knock off.
That's the thing. As a first time buyer, your options are 1. Knockoffs 2. Old G1s; which can give you mixed results. You'll be spending over $80 for a toy you want to play with that is over 20 years old. Nuff said. 3. Old G2s; dont get me started. That paint scheme is fugly. They might as well have put a Los Angeles Lakers jersey on him. Why did they have to change it? So what if the Walmart Devy has only 5 bots and 2 are repaints? It's new, affordable, and much more playable than the rest.
you left out the universe devastator (RID repaint) that just came out a year ago, but of course that one's only 4 bots.
Phoenix has them all over the place..and a ton of Alternators as well. You can still find Alt Primes at Grocery stores.
