    That's why I'm asking. If you both still want to go, I will too. I just don't want to drive to Milwaukee all by myself.

    I probably won't make it. I'm going to the Dells on the 13th. I gotta fit a day of snowboarding in there somewhere.

    Not at Toys R Us, but Westfield Comics close by to the Madison West TRU had some in last time I was there several weeks ago, even a 9th Doctor figure.

    Hit up the East side madison walmart today. Not even a spot for tfs. I asked a stocker if they had moved them, and he said they weren't carrying them anymore. Not sure if it was true, or just a BS answer.

    It's complete BS. BD has new stuff on order (I printed out the new mod addition list and checked it out myself). We'll have the Legends 2-packs, plus we're getting the single pack Joes and the comic packs.

    That's great news. I'm also glad to see that BD will be getting some Joes.

    The Madison west Walmart has their Star Wars figs marked down to $3. The tags show the regular price but they ring up at $3. Besides the Legends two packs, they didn't have shit for TF's.

    Target East had one of those Longarm+Bumblee Bee packs today. I noticed the writing a bit different on the door, but looks a bit nasty with a person-ish thing trying to drive.

    At $20, those packs are kind of a rip. If they would have charged say $15, I might actually be convinced to buy those molds again.

    On a more positive note, someone along the Iowa border has the latest Voyagers and Leaders on eBay. I wouldn't be surprised if they showed up in western Wisconsin this week.

    In the Illinois sightings thread, there is a sighting in Davenport, IA (just over the border) and Peoria, IL (central IL). I'd think it's very likely both Illinois and Wisconsin should see these this week, dependent on how each store handles restock and resets.

    They actually showed up in Madison this morning. The Super Walmart had a pile of Voyagers, Leaders and Deluxes on an island. I'm not sure what the case breakdown is, but it seemed like there was 2x as many Primes as Evac and Ironhide. They store also had a shitpile of Starscreams. I'm not sure if these were left over from the holidays or what.

    The Fitchburg Super Target had a case of the Allspark Deluxes. This is the first time I've seen them outside of TRU.

    The Madison west Walmart got in their TF shipment. Unfortunately, they only have a case of deluxes and voyagers out right now. The rest will be put out once they finish the reset, which is supposedly next week.

    BS Answer. That guy should be Pimp Slapped! I just went there today and they were in the middle of doing their reset. I saw a few Night Watch Primes along with the new Voyager Prime (eww!). Evac is FRIGGIN SWEET!! :)  No new deluxes.

    Walmart East: Shitload of Optimash Prime's in the clearance aisle for only $5.00 a piece. Some Real Gear 2 packs in the clearance aisle for $7.00 a piece (they're sporadic, so you'll have to search). Offroad Ironhide and First Strike Prime, Nightwatch Prime found. No new deluxes (in fact, I'm impressed that they had any deluxes). Plenty of Robot Heroes.

    Stupid Westfields didn't get the new Beast Wars comic this week. This is the second week in a row they didn't have the latest TF comic. Grrr...

    Yeah, he blamed Diamond when I talked to him yesterday. They're not the only store getting shorted so it probably is their fault.

    The Madison Targets marked down their clearance toys to 75% off today. I didn't see any TF related stuff, but that did't stop me from dropping $80 on shit for me and my kids (yes, they are spoiled). The GI Joe 5 packs are $6.24 so I couldn't resist picking them up. I have an extra Cobra set if anyone is interested.

    Oh yeah.. Meg Gillis was at the Fitchburg store this morning. She had 3 or 4 carts full of shit. She had her kid with her so I didn't say anything to her about scalping TF's.
