    A worker who was putting out the ROTF toys told me that they were waiting to put them out due to a "coupon day" or some such that was occurring in a week or two. Maybe they're having a special sale(a 2 for 1 or buy one get one half price or something like that would be awesome) and are tossing these out as an incentive. They also had a sign that said Revenge of the Fallen Movie Combiner Superion $29.99(something like that). It's on the back of the big blue endcap sign, take a look.

    There is no such policy. I bought 5 sunstorms in one shot during the pricing screw up and nobody cared

    I've had my Bruticus for almost half a year now.

    Purchased legit.

    Still shelf-warming. Great toys.

    Just thought I'd say.

    Hey Doug, does the case says something about being a Target exclusive?
    Can you remember whta the box said?
    I'm really getting upset and tired of this.
    Hopefully I find him soon. On another note I saw that one of Targets were I was has the Animated Leaders down to $22.48, just for those looking.
    None of the stores I went to had any (Superions that is) in the back, as a matter of fact not a single store in this city has not even one, WTF?

    Well these could prove difficult to get. The originals in Energon were released individually so there were a good amout of people who didn't get them all. Maybe they are out looking for the set. Plus, the box set it a real nice treat. If i see these I may get them, however I have the original Energon Versions and the original Japanese Giftsets from Superlink as well.

    I did'nt notice if the case said Target Exclusive, but I do remember the case did'nt say Superion unless I was looking at the wrong side.

    I live in Texas too, and both Target's that I have gone to don't have him out, and I had the DCPI with me at the one I checked today and they don't have it in the back either.... guess the guy hasn't made it into the area yet.... BOOOOOOO!!!! Only ROTF Figure that is number one priority right now.

    Found a Superion at a Des Moines, Iowa area Target. I had to have someone look it up to see if they had any in the back, as they were not out on the shelves. They apparently had 12. I bought only one.

    My question is, does anyone know when they're supposed to show up at Zellers in Canada. I'm really wanting this set cos I actually like the colors better than the energon set. But I'd like to buy it locally if I can.

    They are already out. Alberta has them at the very least. I'm pretty sure the rest of the country has reported sightings as well.

    Went to my Local Target today, in Salsibury. Gave them the DCPI number, Guy said they had a bunch and went in the back and then came back out empty handed. Told me that they are not aloud to sell any of them until June 21st, due to some policy or w/e. Yet they still had the poster for it out on display. =/


    Still can't the find The Fallen either around here >_<

    Bought mine today. It was lying all by itself next to the TF laptops. Silverbolt has a small black line on his face. I'm guessing that is the only reason he was still there.

    Now the question is where the hell is bruticus?
