    yeah thanks for the heads up bud. was able to score ER leader prime and voyager grapple at lake zurich bestbuy. they have a grapple and astrotrain left.

    also had a marvel legends special black storm if anyone is looking.

    checked arlington heights and schaumburg bestbuys too, they had the shelf tags out but no toys. happy bestbuy hunting all!

    You’re welcome! That’s awesome you were able to find ER Prime, he’s not easy to come by right now! On a side note, Walmart in Normal on Greenbriar as of last night at around 8:30pm had SS wave 3 leaders 1x each, I bought Scavenger but Shockwave should still be there if anyone still needs him!

    I'm about to sell some items on eBay but thought I'd post here in case anyone local wants to grab something and spare me the effort of packing it. I'm in Cicero/Berwyn.

    I'm hoping to sell a set of MP Coneheads (Ramjet, Dirge, and Thrust) for $300 combined. Complete with boxes.

    I also have the following Unite Warriors combiners for $150 each.
    Superion (complete with box)
    Menasor (complete, no box)
    Defensor (complete with box)
    Bruticus (complete, no box)

    The following Unite Warriors combiners are $175 each.
    Devastator (complete, no box)
    Computron (complete, no box)

    Just shoot me a PM if you're interested in anything! I'll also be selling Cybertron/Primus and Amazon exclusive Unicron.

    Do you know what part of Chicago? There’s a few places, but they aren’t exactly close together.

    Can't recommend Quake Toys in Lincoln Square enough (Quake Collectibles). Interesting finds, big variety, good prices, and they're in a great area for food and shopping. Dark Tower Comics is a little bit further up the street from them too.

    Quake and Toy De Jour are great. If you want an excellent comic shop, Challengers Comics is close to Toy de Jour.

    Kind of a weird post, but I have to suddenly up and leave and I will not take some robots with me. If anyone swings by Hyde Park in the next couple days and wants the Studio Series Bumblebee 2-pack for free, let me know.

    That might be a possibility for me. If you have anything you’re selling I might be willing to buy as well

    I'm kinda broke so I haven't been able to get anything since ss soundwave came with a mirror unpainted
    Got that solved quick since the factory failed qc then amazon failed to notice it upon the shipment being received and before shipping it to me. But I got another in the next day.
    and I'm not brokish anymore since the border is closed my Canada trip got canceled

    This is from Seibertron, SS Scrapper. AFAIK this toy is not released yet, would have been front page stuff if anyone posted in hand photos, right?
