    Yeah that's the truth. Luckily between my girlfriend and I we have been a step ahead of them this last week.

    Have you guys noticed how often the Walmart replaces their stock? I'd love to stop by and pick up a set of these guys.

    Or someone could pick up a set for me and I could come down :D  lol

    So I did a little scouting ahead on-line for my trip to California.From where we are staying,within a roughly ten mile radius,there are 6 Ross stores,4 Marshall's,and 3 TJ Maxx stores.I can just imagine how many Walmarts and Targets there are also.I can't believe how many stores there are so close to each other.A guy could spend all day just trying to hit every one.

    While I was in Racine for Greek fest today, I decided to go to the kmart in Kenosha to see if they still had a HA Roadbuster left. They were both still there, so I grabbed one. I also noticed they had 2 each of Tailpipe and Whirl.

    Saw these on Costco's new items list. I'm guessing the first one is the Shout Factory sets.

    Got Kre-O Prime. Played with him for a while and made him more "movie like." He is actually about 1" taller then Leader ROTF Prime. Little over priced at $60 but still pretty cool.

    Still nothing at the Madison TJ Maxx. Starting to think that Wisconsin and Illinois got skipped over for RTS.

    Ditto. The only thing new a TJM and Marshells was the G1 Legends weeks ago and it was only a bunch of Prowls and one Megatron. I have never seen any RTS deluxes and voyagers.

    Honestly, it has been so long since the first sighting, I think we will never see them.

    I've seen the RTS legends and deluxes at Marshalls but nothing at TJ Maxx. They keep getting more Animated Voyagers for some reason.

    Marshall's in Kenosha had a large wave of Deluxes hit, and the Marshall's in Gurnee Mills got both deluxes and Legends in, but after those initial waves, I believe the supply of RTS stuff has ended. I check the Kenosha one every few days and have seen nothing of interest hit the shelves.

    Maybe TJMaxx will get hit with them eventually :/

    Also, sighting updates:

    Gurnee Mills TRU has the Wave 3 DOTM Deluxes in, snagged a Mudflap and Laserbeak, which is by far my favorite deluxe yet.

    Kenosha Kmart still has one HA Roadbuster and one each of HA Whirl and the bike guy.

    Picked up the following SpeedStars toys at ShopKos around the Fox Valley:

    Beast Machines: Bumblebee, Optimus Prime
    Trans Scan: Bumblebee, Crumplezone, Mirage
    Night Attack: Crumplezone, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime
    Stealth Force: Autobot Topspin, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime
    Metal Heroes: Optimus Prime

    Stealth Force deluxes: Big Hoss, Starscream

    (Didn't actually buy Starscream yet--cockpit seems to get scuffed up easily.)

    Me too. I work around the corner from the Oak Creek TJ Maxx and check it once or twice a week. Nothing RTS there.

    Is that mangled Animated Blitzwing still at TJMaxx? I stopped by last week and this kid almost ripped him in half before just tossing the figure back into its shoddily taped package :(
