    I’m new to the area and it looks like we frequent the same spots. What are you two looking for? I’m only after Cosmos, so I’m happy to keep an eye out for anything else. Let me know!

    Aw!❤️ If I see any cheap Sweeps, I’ll pick ‘em up for you! What’s the price you’re looking for?

    Another strikeout at Plainfield Walmart this morning.

    Found the Velocitrons at Walmart Niles (Touhy) for those looking. I grabbed one Cosmos but there's Clampdown, Override, Hauler and others.

    found a scourge up in MI on vacation so I'm set on velicitron now. what a stressful hunt for that stuff.
    might pick up the arcee and blurr repaints/remolds at some point but not a priority.

    haven't looked in the NW burbs for a couple weeks but I'll keep you all posted if there's anything up this way.

    Scored an Elita-One at W Touhy Target. There were a couple of MPM Blackouts. Nothing else new, though.

    Walmart at 59 and 75th. NO Velocity figures...3x Legacy Buzzsaw, 1x Nightprowler, x1 Sandstorm, 4x core Ravage

    Saw a G.I.Joe Classified Storm Shadow and Cobra Commander if anyone is looking for them.

    To whoever hid Cosmos behind RID Velocitron Scourge at the Olympia Fields Walmart: Thank you and I'm sorry. I found him and I bought him. I also scored a Clampdown there. As of closing, they still had the aforementioned Velocitron Scourge, two Clampdowns, and a multitude of the trifecta of Velocitron's usual suspects; Blurr, Road Rocket, and Burn Out. If you collect MOTU, there was a lone Roton on the shelf in a slightly dinged box, four Leeches, and the CGI show Talon Fighter. Homewood Walmart also had a Roton, just in a more-than-slightly dinged box, in addition to a couple of Velocitron Blurrs. Country Club Hills Walmart had a Road Rocket and a Burn Out and not much else. All three of them had Legacy beast exclusives... Now to find Override... The only one I'm now missing...

    At one point probably, but I would think they would have mentioned it if there were more figures of note.

    Ebay:
    It did in various places. Seems to have gone dry for now, but there will be more. If this goes like Rodimus and previous commanders, Walmart and Meijer will start stocking soon.
