    i found all foc except kickback at the forest park walmart, i only took ss the other day.

    targets no.

    its weird, targets are on wave 2, but walmarts i dont think i saw anyone mention finding wave 2 there and now they have wave 3.

    hate this crap.

    also tf4 looks to film in chicago again.

    botcon better be in chicago in 2014, if not they are idiots, well they already are but you know.

    I know walmarts to the NW have them. Target to my knowledge has not been mentioned.

    Edit:
    All the walmarts my way have the combaticons.

    Hm, all the Walmarts I've seen have just empty pegs for Transformers, but maybe I've been checking the wrong ones. Thanks, guys!

    Villa Park Walmart had 2 FOC Sideswipes and 1 Air Raid after I left there tonight, having bought the only Starscream and Ultra Magnus. Sorry and yay!

    EDIT- Dammit, Magnus has 2 left fists. The search resumes.

    Not for us, but for them. Our main convention centers are comparatively expensive.

    Hey guys, just thought I'd let everyone know that the pre-registration for Dairycon 2013 has been up since late December. DTF, The Dairyland Transfan Association

    It's April 6th in Fond du Lac, WI at the Ramada Plaza Hotel. I've gone up there the last two years as a dealer and have had good experiences both times. Dealer tables are only $10 so it's totally worth it if you're looking to unload extra stuff. I'd sign up for your dealer tables soon though since they ran out of them last year.

    Anyways, pre-registration ends on March 1st and if you don't pre-register you can't attend. Hope to see some more of you guys up there this year. I had a good time meeting 3.8TransAM at the last one.

    East Dundee, Schaumburg, and Palatine Walmarts are in the middle of their resets and have NOTHING on the shelves. Schaumburg TRU didn't have much either (though I do like the remodeling they finally did!) Lake Zurich Walmart is also reseting, but they still have FOC Brawl, Swindle, and Blast Off.
