    Do tru people not sleep? They love placing masterpieces in the middle of the night. I think a lot of people missed this one, including me. I did get optimus and soundwave at 2am.

    I think the people who handle the web server or webpages might be on the other side of the world. So stuff will come available on the website at those off hours for us. I bet they set this stuff to post at a specific time so it's all automatic, no human intervention needed.

    Walnut Creek Target finished their toy reset but nothing new in terms of CW or RID. They did have the new Rescue Bot High Tide which looks pretty cool for $30 - anytime you have a toy that can hold smaller toys for play is a win.

    I'm good friends with the people that run that place. I was the one that told them to bring in Transformers lol. They didn't used to sell them at all. They're genuinely good, nerdy, awesome people. But yeah, their prices are a bit high. The high prices partially has to do with the location. The Gamestop that it replaced suffered from the same problem.

    I felt the same when they did it with the Jurassic World reset. It seems most of the Targets I go to still have Roadbuster and Whirl still in the back. That would be nice.

    Did TRU raise the price on Devastator already?

    Seemed like TRU raised the prices every two weeks because when I got him it was 149.99 and a couple weeks later I got one for my brother and it was 159.99. Luckily I was able to use the 20% coupon both times around. $169.99 is crazy but if I didn't have him already I'd still buy it.

    Went to Winchester TRU this morning and they had baloney...

    Target.com has Devastator for $149.99, TRU should price match target.com's online price, right?

    Correct. As far as I know there aren't any good coupons currently so price match would still be your best bet.

    Also, some TRUs are sticky and look at the online listing very carefully. If it's not in stock or sold by an Amazon affiliate they won't match the price.

    At this point I consider myself lucky that TRU accepted the Naytron discount for both Devastator and MP Bluestreak.
