    Yoinked a Superion at the Broadway/Diversey TJ Maxx. It was the only one, but hey, they're in the city.

    Left a cheap Battle Core Optimus on the shelf, and there was a Brainstorm at the Walgreens next door.

    I accidentally bought 2 TR Brainstorms. Anyone who would buy one off me for about $17 would be doing me a favor. PM me.

    I hope this doesn't give word to scalpers (He seems to be pretty abundant actually), but I counted 6 Brainstorms at Elk Grove Village Walgreens so if anyone in the area has been looking for one, there you go.

    Everyone have a good weekend!

    I snagged a Brainstorm and Highbrow from the Carpentersville Walgreens that Col mentioned. I also used a 20% off coupon for Walgreens that was only good for yesterday. That was helpful along with the price reduction to $17.99! Looks like I'll be going to TJ Maxx today! :)

    If anyone is running around for Brainstorm, can you guys check for the POP Spider-Man 2099? It's a Walgreen exclusive and I have seen one anywhere

    That 2099 is last years exclusive that I guess distribution centers found a few more of. I've seen a few but it was weeks ago.

    Other news, damn has it been a fun, albeit expensive, Transformers week!

    If anyone is struggling which Reflector to buy, as I took forever to decide, Opticlones are by far the winner.

    Good luck with the battery install though, yikes.

    I saw one Friday. It was either Geneva, Batavia, or North Aurora, but I cannot for the life of me remember which one. I'm going to be hitting all of them again tomorrow afternoon looking for C-3PO so if I see it I will let you know.

    And if the Marvel and Star Wars exclusives are any indication, saturation won't mean they'll stop doing exclusives! (I'll just play myself off...)

    Oh, yeah. Will post when spotted.

    Meh. No Spidey 2099 pops, no C3P0s, and Brainstorm is moving (but hasn't completely disappeared.)
