    Someone said it was a first sighting and I have no clue.

    Munster, IN Target had 1 as of last night along with three Ultra Magnus'.

    If not a retail sighting first, delete this. I didn't buy it, but I held it in my hand.

    According to Nevermore's page no retail sightings have been posted, just online retailers.

    I don't make up stories :) 

    Folks I know on here will attest to that.

    No pics, I could care less about buying it. UM almost tempted me though.

    I didn't know it would have been newsworthy until someone on the Chicago sightings posted it was newsworthy. Would have taken a pic if I would have known.

    Ah, no worries. Pics just give us the proof we need to be 100% sure :)

    I went to the store for the Lego creator set for $55 for my 5 yr old(by the way an awesome associate hid it 3 aisles over for me so it wouldn't get sold, can't hold sale items(thanked him profusely)), I'm not going back to take a picture of Skywarp on the shelf:lol 

    Would have taken pics, but it was news to me that it was news to be:D

    Ah yes, the old "saw a new toy at retail, didn't know it was news" situation.

    I have to admit he did, I almost picked him up despite not liking the chest on these Leader seekers.

    Found him at 2 different Targets in my area. Not a huge fan of them using the Jetfire mold for him.

    I think this offer is still open to everyone.
