    Personally NEVER seen a kid pick up a Transformers toy at Target or Walmart in years! I go to at least 3 Targets and 2 Walmarts a week with my wife and 4 yr old daughter and all I see staring at the ML and Transformers sections are middle aged men like myself. 99% of male kids 10 yrs old or younger are hanging around the video game section.

    Unfortunately kids today are just not interested in plastic robots or figs like back in the day. It is really sad to see a bunch of kids jammed up around a tv screen at the stores to play with non corporeal characters stabbing, shooting, amd killing each other for fun!!

    New member from the St. Louis area, have been hunting in my area in recent months. Any sightings of Ultra Class Slipstream? I have yet to see it, though it sounds like it's shortpacked so it might be tricky to find...

    Thanks to a tip from this board, I found one TR Trypticon at the Fairview Heights Burlington for $59.99 (bought it).

    Think Belleville Walmart was the first place I found Siege Shockwave.

    If anyone's looking for the Bumblebee Tribute 3-pack, the Marshalls on Fullerton has a bunch.

    Looks like a straight-up return for once, rather than a repack theft. Assuming the guns are in there.

    I was in the Springfield, IL area to go to a wrestling show, so I checked out the local stores...I finally found Ultra Class Slipstream at Meijer in Springfield. Woo.
