    ...well, they received the word from their head office, who received it from Hasbro anyways. None in Toronto yet but all around it (sightings in Brampton and Markham).

    I've been to many TRU's, Targets, and Walmarts here in CA and nothing! I even had a very helpful manager at a TRU pull the cases in the back and they haven't even got any of the movie Deluxes!

    I hear you man!!! I have the same problem!! WTF??!?! Come on now and ship out and put out these figs already!! The closest I have goten to these figs was my local Target which had sold out all there old Transformer stock and the TFer Section is now empty but on the pegs where the tags are it says "TRANSFORMERS MOVIE DELUXE" and Below "9.99" but not a single figure!!! So either they sold out of the figures or there about to put them out. Either way I am screwed. Dammit!!

    Damn Walmarx...don't even have a section for the movie figures, just some crap from classics and cybertron.

    They even have the fucking display over the toy aisle, but nothin'.

    I went to Target yesterday in hopes of getting some Deluxes. Here's what I got:
    Target employee: "Movie Transformers? The movie isn't even out yet."
    Me: "Yeah, but Hasbro said stores can put out Deluxe assortment figures."
    TE: "They've got a street date, though."
    Me:"But Hasbro said stores can put one assortment on shelves because the new trailer was released today."
    *Shows printout of Hasbro statement*
    TE: "See? It says 6/2."
    Me: "That's for the other figures. The ###### Deluxe assortment are officially available for retail release."
    TE: "We don't have those out yet." *leaves*

    Looks like I'll be waiting until June 2nd....

    I think most of us will be waiting with you. I think Hasbro was just covering up for the stores that actually put these out by accident but really doesn't have huge plans on getting the word out for other stores to put them out now. Most store managers won't take the website's info to do anything either.

    Of all the places I've gone, I've only found them in one store. The last Target I visited has 1x Bonecrusher, 1x Brawl, and 2x Swindle.

    Not to worry, they'll be plentiful on 6/2.

    The Target where I work knows about the Hasbro decision, and chooses to ignore it. The woman that runs the toy department brought it up at yesterday's front end meeting, and basically said that if we wait for June 2nd, then the Hasbro rep will help "clean up and restock the shit that's out there already." Which is funny, because the same Cybertron figures have been sitting on that shelf since before Christmas.

    You'd think that "The 3rd busiest Target in the country" would operate on better standards. You'd be pretty wrong, though!

    Most of New York is dead as far as sightings go, actually. SIGH.

    That woman is a moron. "I don't want to put out new product that will sell for another two weeks because I don't give shit about my department numbers."
