    It's all good!
    We're all on the same team here...no reason for anyone to get upset...sometimes things just get past a certain point, and we need to roll things back a bit.
    I'm from Minnesota, and we also have a VERY active sightings thread...in fact...I think the only other threads that have more active sightings threads than Illinois, and Minnesota are California and the UK!
    Look...there's a lot of us in these threads, and it's only a matter of time before some of us end up butting heads...it happens...we're all different, and honestly, I've learned that a lot of times, things like sarcasm are easily lost through text communication...what's important to remember though is that in our sightings threads, we're not just an assortment of collectors, we are also neighbors.
    I think you all should be proud of the collector community you share here, and not let words spoil it.
    I hate clichés like "agree to disagree" or "lets move on", so when I see stuff getting a little nutty in sightings threads, I like to come in, and remind everyone that it's ok to just be cool with one another.
    If there's a problem, report it, and we'll fix it on this end...but I don't think I can fix a broken bond between collectors that share the same stores, so I'd just assume try to avoid all that.

    I'm going to reiterate what ServO said here, "Stay cool!" The bickering needs to stop. NOW.

    Still no sign of the games and highly anticipated (by me at least) Galaxy Prime in the QC area. I think we may have actually gotten it in around here a bit before the Chicago area and I just missed it... I think this because I saw a lot of solo Shockwave's about a week ago.

    Driving up to Naperville tomorrow afternoon so maybe I'll be able to get a couple stores in my way and maybe I'll get lucky.

    I don’t know if this will be on you’re way or not, but I did see a GF Prime at Walmart in Normal on Veterans Parkway yesterday. I left it because I favored a Godzilla figure instead. It should still be there if you are interested. Hope that helped, and good luck :)

    have not seen any gf primes out in the nw burbs yet, hoping to score one eventually.

    rolling meadows wm has a plethora of siege wave 2 deluxes, some starscreams, a bunch of ss deluxes and a couple full price prime reissues.

    Enquiring minds would like to know what happened? I’ve been on this sightings thread for about 15yrs. The only problems I could recall was when TJ Duckett got on here and spewed his garbage. Cracka, there’s a GalaxyForce Prime at Walmart by Golf Mill. The Target by there has Cyberverse Wheeljack and Rodimus along with a busted up boxed Seige Soundwave. I got a couple GalaxyForce Primes at a couple Targets earlier in the week.

    Who would have thought that your simple "yoink" could have had such repercussions...

    Hey guys, just a friendly reminder here that this is not a thread for bickering with each other. It's supposed to be a thread where communities come together to help each other out in our hobby. With that said, I know emotions have ran a tad bit high recently, but I want to ask for you all to chill. It's not worth it. If you find that you cannot get along with another, there is the ignore feature you can use...or just scroll past that user's post. Lastly, a reminder:

    1. No Insults, Trolling, Flaming, Name Calling, Harassing, Etc.
    We will not tolerate insults, excessive profanity or throwing a topic off course. Use of racial, bigoted, sexist, or discriminatory terms or phrases is not accepted. Posts intended solely to antagonize others are not accepted. Keep topics/posts where they belong. Generally, “play nice”.

    The last part in bold for relevance. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out and ask. But from here on out, let's stop the nonsense and get back to the toys! Any further bickering may result in a warning. Thank you all for your understanding :)

    I'm driving up 88 to Glendale Heights right now. Probably going to get there around 5. Anyone got a lead on a Galaxy Prime that wouldn't be too far off the highway?

    Yeah, kind of assumed that was already snagged. I really wish the walmart on Dundee didn't totally blow.
