    Found these this evening at the Target in Frederick MD. The Mini Buildings rang up for $19.99 each, and the small TFs rang up at $14.99 each?!?, but after talking to a manager, they agreed those should have been $4.99 like all the other versions.

    Saw the mini-building sets tonight at Target in Huntington Beach, CA too. I took pix but looks like that's covered; just confirming a 2nd sighting.

    Did not see the minis though, but I want them for my kid!

    Do you remember the price on the mini buildings when you saw them? I thought they would be $9.99 like the carriers found a couple of days ago, since the packaging looked the same, but the DPCI number was different?

    I saw these the other day as well! Take a photo of the back of the mini buildings sets. One has an image of a new minicon that accompanies Chase and the other has a picture of an ambulance bot that looks a bit like Medix. I wonder if that is the new character they were hinting at for season 4.

    Yes, because everyone shops on Xmas eve, so surely these will make it into Xmas profits! SURELY! :lol 

    I know you see it as a good thing, but I see this as a colossal failure: let's say I already finished my Xmas shopping for my kid (cause, y'know, a lot of people DO finish BEFORE Xmas Eve :lol ), how does this fit into my xmas plans? It doesn't. Hasbro should have pushed these to get finished faster by either planning things better or opening up a second factory (as necessary).

    On the bright side, these recent TF releases will inevitably end up being sold at discount. Good job, Hasbro - you released toys in time to be discounted instantly! :thumb

    I'm pretty sure Autovolt's post was being sarcastic heh.

    I am not seeing those on the back of these packages? I see Chase in vehicle mode on the police station, and Heatwave on the fire station. Yes, there is a Mini-Con on both, but those come with the buildings

    How odd, I thought I saw them. Maybe it was on the back of the trailer Chase and trailer Heatwave, now that I think about it.
