Well then Target and Walmart are in cahoots, and this charade has been going on as anyone that's ever worked retail or casually observed retail will tell you. Resets happen almost quarterly, and that is why both stores have Clearance tags throughout the toy aisles and the rest of the store. All slow movers across all franchises are getting prices slashed to make room for new product. To reference those specific franchises cited - that's why I picked up the MOTU Origins Sky Sled for $12.50, and some Marvel Legends are down to $10, and DC Batman stuff is on clearance as well. And go ahead and poke your head in the Lego aisle at Walmart and see how much has been clearanced and sold out. The real question is who is going to help me find Slag first - the Free Masons or the Ancient Aliens?
Stopped by the Target at Millenia in Orlando this morning and they were finally starting to redo the shelves. Looks like the conspiracy can be laid to rest. I might pop my head in there after work to see if some new product made it's way out. Oh, but they did have I think 6 exclusive T-Wrecks on the shelves. I will be passing him up. But hopefully local collectors and not the speed walking scalper demon get to pick them up.
Waterford Lakes Target: ×1 Clunker Bee vs Barricade set ×3 Muckman ×2 Mondo Gecko in the NECA section
East colonial Target had two sets of clunker Bee/Barricade, along with Revelations Moss Man and Evilyn. The shelves are otherwise startlingly bare -- where are my origin Bees!?!
Wake up check the Target page for the worlds collide pack None of the stores in my area have it yet rinse and repeat
Walmart actually delivered a preorder for once. The Netflix Spoiler pack for Megatron and Skelivore. Another reuse of the mold but it looks good and the accessories are cool. I have seen nothing new around Pensacola for months. Almost everything I want I have to preorder and/or grab online.
One Buzzworthy Bumblebee vs. Dropkick 2-pack at Target on Pine Ridge Road in Naples: and that's about it there.

They also had about a dozen Origins Bumblebee and 1 set each of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee crash combiner repaints. No Worlds Collide or Dinobots Unite, etc. The Walmart on the other side of the Palmetto Expressway had the same old stuff, Kingdom Black Arachnia, Arcee and some R.E.D. figures.
St. Pete area Targets seem close to reaching the TF aisles when I checked this morning. Hoping for this weekend!

Pinellas Park Target has saucer Bees too. And an Inferno. Non-TF: Pinellas and Clear Water have ML Odin
Per the Target website a couple hours ago, it looks like most of the Targets in Lee and northern Collier counties had Origin Bees in stock. I picked up one 20 minutes ago at the 9350 Dynasty Dr (The Forum, east of I-75 exit 136) location. They didn't have any of the Battle Packs 2-packs, World's Collide 4-packs, or T-Wrecks though, and the rest of their Transformers stock was sparse. I wanted a second Bee and maybe a third, but I didn't want to horde them all this early. Good hunting!
