    Target in Bolingbrook had kingdom bw megatron and kingdom ultra magnus. Took the Megatron. Maybe these will start hitting the area.

    That's it. I'm completely caught up now. Bring on the next wave!

    Not TF related, but if anyone spots any Major Bludd's or Cobra Vipers.... I'd be ever grateful. The Scalpers are strong with the joes and it's disheartening!

    Hey all, finally got some money saved and I’m back on the hunt.

    I was wondering what the situation was on kingdom wave 1. It’s been a couple months since it dropped, so I’m assuming it’s not too hard to find. I’m also wondering what the situation on kingdom wave 2 and the Dino wave for studio series. Also, are SS86 Grimlocks still shelf warming? And have any more thrusts or Netflix nemesis primes shown up (I realize this is highly unlikely, but it can’t hurt to ask).

    Sorry if these are redundant, I just haven’t been out hunting in almost 3 months. Thanks for all your help.
    Also, I’m in the north east suburbs, like Buffalo grove.

    For kingdom, wave 2 deluxes are becoming a bit more common so the wave 1 deluxes might be hard to find. Theres still a few at my local target though. The voyagers and leaders on the other hand were here and gone in an instant (at least in my experience) so I never was able to find a cyclonus (I actually found wave 1 primal after wave 2 dinobot). Never saw a leader class figure. Though I do think Walmart is doing restocks of wave 1 voyagers and target is getting in leaders again.

    dino wave for SS is very common and easy to find, so no problems there. SS86 Grimlock disappeared from the Bloomington-Normal area just recently but I believe he should be out there.

    thrust hasn’t shown up again (same with runabout). I don’t think nemesis prime ever showed up at retail but he is in stock at BBTS. Hope this helps!

    I have extras of Thrust and Runabout along with others. I sell to board members for cost + a 20oz soda. Send me a list of what you are looking for and I will send you what I have.

    Elston Target this morning had loads of Dinobots and Infernos, easily five of each.

    Feel like those were pretty rare in Chicago proper, so go nuts, I say.

    As of yesterday...

    Elgin Meijer had 2 each of Kingdom BE Megs and Kingdom Ultra Magnus, a Scourge, and a few Hot Rods
    Rolling Meadows Meijer had about 4-5 Sky Lynx
    Grapples are starting to dwindle, if anyone cares...

    Algonquin Wal-Mart has started to carry wave 2 retro headmasters...I left with Highbrow and Weirdwolf, leaving Skullcruncher and 3 Hardheads...other Illinois Wal-Marts should hopefully start carrying them...

    Targets were primarily a wasteland, as I found hunting for that Keldor/Kronis 2 pack (a lot of those TMNT Frog and Triceratops NECA 2-packs and Huffers and Airrazors are becoming more common)

    Finally got lucky and scored a Kingdom Galvatron and Rhinox at the HIP Target. They only had one of each. Left behind 2x Kingdom Ultra Magnus.

    Good luck hunting.

    PS Also got lucky and scored a Star Wars Retro Cara Dune... man what a day.
