    It's kind of an odd coincidence that you should mention that, 'cause I just got back from the Target on 106th South a few minutes ago, and they had a Galvatron which had been opened and appeared to be missing the collector card (and possibly the instructions as well since I could see an empty plastic baggy inside, and I don't recall if voyager instructions come in bags, or if that was just from the aforementioned card). I was in a bit of a rush so I unfortunately didn't have time to track down an employee and tell them that it was missing at least one or two things, but it almost makes me wonder if someone is going around stealing Galvatron pieces/accessories or something?

    sorry to hear.

    it might not be a "kid". seems like something a grown up would do - given they have more disposable income.

    or, as you say, it accidentally got returned without a part. :/

    It sucks when you buy something that is missing items. I'll be honest, I've bought a lot of stuff that I returned and now n then I have found the instructions sitting on my desk post-return. Oops.
    But I've also bought stuff that was broken from the factory and the next day I see it put back on the shelf, even though I told the return person that it was broken. They just don't care at Walmart or Target. At least at TRU if you say it's broken, then they toss it into a bin that actually goes back to the manufacturer. Nowadays, if it's broken from the factory and I got it from Wally's or Target I half transform it and shove it back in the package so that it looks messed up so that the inevitable placing of it back on the shelf at least warns the next guy since it's obvious it's been opened already.

    Oh man, that's so annoying.

    I saw a post the other day where someone had bought Titans return sourge, but then returned it with the packaging taped up and what was clearly the Universe Scourge from a few years back, in the package instead.

    Isn't Walgreens brainstorm supposed to drop on the 14th?

    If so, I'm thinking it's almost hunting season. Haha

    You guys seen anything interesting at TJMaxx or Ross here in UT?
    Wondering if "sleeper" releases of CW are showing up yet...
    (granted I got my Skylynx elsewhere but my son would love one too.)

    I was just in the Ross in Fort Union this weekend and didn't see a single transformer. :/

    And unfortunately no, that would not have been me. Lol I was up in Logan working today but neglected to stop in anywhere.
    But thanks for thinking of me. :)

    So, for fun today I stopped by a couple Walgreens around Murray and Midvale just to see if anyone maybe put Brainstorm on the shelf early.... But alas, I didn't see him.

    However, they all seemed well stocked with all the Wave 2 deluxes

    So my brother, Omega Maximus, I did indeed get you a High Brow. You owe me $20. Lol

    So, instead of getting off work early today, and checking out some walgreens, I got stuck with a mighty work load, very unusual for a Friday.

    So, if indeed Brainstorm is on the shelves today, and if y'all happen to run into a few, save me one please! Lol
    Brainstorm been one of my favorites since '87

    Just checked Walgreens in Bountiful, no sign of Brainstorm.
