    Anybody in the NW or W Chicago suburbs want a Wei Jiang M-01 Commander, aka OSKO Evasion Mode Optimus? I'd prefer to meet locally to sell.

    Good shape, slightly loose shoulders. No shield, the swords have been modded to be held like regular swords. How about $60?

    I haven't seen any figures, but the vehicles are legit everywhere right now! Land Shark and Wind Raider, and the He-Man Battle Cat pack as well.

    I'm about to head out for a shopping trip today, we'll see what turns up! My kids (especially the 2 year old) have gone HARD for MOTU lately and that gives me an excuse to buy more stuff, obviously.

    Well, I went to Geek Toy Hut in Mount Prospect since it's right by my house and I have liked getting TFs from there, and my dudes, WHAT a haul! Evil Lyn, She-Ra, Triklops, Man-E-Faces, Stratos, Zodac, and TRAP JAW! When the kids get home today, they are in for a big afternoon.

    Saw T-Wrecks pretty consistently at Chicago area Targets this morning - definitely five of him at Peterson Target for instance.

    Also saw all the MOTU Revelation dudes at a couple Targets, so they're definitely out there.

    geek toy hut was awesome. super close to home, especially if you are in the nw burbs. a bit bigger than quake but still packed just as well with some isle space, loved it and will be back probably weekly. dudes there were super friendly too.

    scored a ML bishop just without sauron part (dont need him anyway) for just 25, and a red soundwave with the basic parts for 10. had been wanting bishop forever so that worked out nicely.

    highly recommended check them out!

    It's about 10 min away from me too. I discovered that place last year when my buddy bought me a gift card for them as a Christmas gift. I scored an Omnibot and a Battlecharger. Maybe I'll peek in there this week since I'm on vacation.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Two Worlds Collide sets at the Addison Target in Chicago around lunchtime today!

    Surprised myself at how good I thought it looked in person, all four figures look pretty slick.
