Hi All! I am in Chicago for the marathon (from UK) and my 9yr old son is transformers mad. I know he needs Ironhide and Mirage to complete one of his combiners but also any others would also do! I am staying near Grant Park (La salle street) but don't mind a little walk. Which stores would be best for me to try? Many thanks!

 

There is nothing within walking distance from where you are. But if you need combiner parts, the best bet would be a few of the local collectable shops.

One is called KaPow and is on Belmont. Its an east CTA train ride from downtown on either the red or brown lines. The only issue is they have some strange hours.
The other is a bit further of a train ride on the brown line to western. It's called Quake Collectables and on Lincoln Ave.

Both will be hit or miss but those are your best bets.

If you need regular ones, there are 2 Targets downtown. One on State St and Madison. and the other is a bit of a walk on Roosevelt and Clark.

 

Fairview Heights Target had the following as of 3pm:

Siege Mirage, Impactor, Hound, Chromia, & Brunt
2x Rainmakers

Barricade came home with me.

Happy Hunting!!

 

2 long haul and 4 ksi boss at blono Greenbrier Wal-Mart

 

Picked up Mirage, left Impactor.

 

Has anyone found Botbots in metro east anywhere other than Target? I'm specifically trying to get my paws on Halloween Knight (the jack o'lantern), but no one other than the Green Mount Target seems to carry them.

And does anyone know exactly when Siege Ratchet & Bluestreak are supposed to drop?

 

Ratchet should be in Walgreens now. Bluestreak, I have no idea.

 

Target in BloNo has one SS DotM Optimus Prime and 2 Siege Seeker 3-packs. Also, Meijer has 2 Siege Jetfires.

 

Anyone come across Mirage, Barricade, or Impactor over the weekend?

 

Saw all 3 at Target on Roosevelt in the South Loop on Friday. They're trickling out there

 

Any sightings for Ratchet? Dont wanna waste the gas if he hasnt been seen

 

Also, just found Impactor and Mirage at State St Target in the city along with Thundercracker

 

I don’t think Ratchet’s even been sighted in the U.S. yet.

Snagged the only Barricade at Algonquin Target. Nothing else from that wave there. They had two Thundercrackers too.

 

Grabbed the only Impactor and Mirage from HIP Target. Left a Barricade (kind of regret it) they also had the 3 pack of Seekers. And a couple Thundercrackers!

 

1 Havok and Polaris 2 pack at Golf/Milwaukee Gamestop.

 

Grabbed the other Impactor and Barricade at HIP Target yesterday. Also got a Mirage at Golf Mill Target.

 

Anyone sighted the 35th Anniversary display at Walmarts yet?

 

Niles Walmart. (shrug) Your guess is as good as mine.

 

Found Ratchet at Walgreens on Roosevelt in Wheaton. There was two of them and myself and another guy grabbed them.

 

And it begins
