    Went back to bashford Target to get one of those cobra troopers, they’re long gone lol
    Saw an ER Doubledealer in the RC aisle but it’s loose in the box with no straps, but it’s still in it’s packaging pose. Wierd.

    Did buy one of those Snapships. They look pretty cool for only $15.

    heard some people have tried on the stores who have the trooper only to be told its street dated until Aug 14th and they get pulled from them at the register. I just hope the 6 to a case is accurate on each and these will be available to people other than scalpers...I am not paying above retail for these figures. Scalpers are death to toylines...they buy them all up and demand high prices and fans get pissed and just say forget the rest of the line and then it goes away.

    Funny thing? I'm at St. Matt's Target tight now and they have two clone packs just sitting front and center.

    6 to a case sounds right. I saw atleast 8 of them last time and was suprised they were all troopers.

    It also looked like someone just unloaded them on a random peg & the rest in a stack since I didnt see any shelf tags for them.

    Now i’m curious if people were able to buy them , or if they put them all back in the stock room?

    Well some target's are saying aug 14, but apparently in Louisville there was an error in their listings last night and they mistook the case with troopers, etc as the wave 1 case which is supposed to be sold now. And people bought out the 6 Troopers last night before close. I am gonna check my 2 this morning and see. Says both have Troopers and Beachhead...but not Baroness and Roadblock.

    Popfindr shows Cobra Troopers x6 in stock at Hamburg and Beachhead x6...went there, looked like there was about 5 other collectors or maybe scalpers there hunting too. 4 were asking about Skylynx and one on the phone with the guy. Said not until they reset the display which is sometime in the week. Of course I heard them talking after the others left and they were really condescending about it and it's no wonder they won't help customers. Reynolds Rd shows x12 Troopers and 6 Beachheads. No Baroness or Roadblocks. Didn't bother trying since I was there yesterday and they hadn't even set a place for them yet either. Will prob check again if I see numbers going down or Thursday when I swing by comic shops.

    I'd have gotten the names of the ones talking and filed a complaint on them

    Now I'm nervous to see if someone can pull a LC Dino Charge Black Ranger from the back for me at Hamburg. (Can't ship, but Target app shows it's in stock).

    UPDATE: Dino Charge Black (and the GI Joe stuff) should be set sometime this week. I'll be checking back in person every day to report on what I find. Guy I talked to (who was super nice about it, btw) also suggested calling ahead first.

    Went to several WalMarts today, only saw that one had the new Joes and what they had left were two Roadblocks.

    I was there picking up socks since my Labrador puppy keeps taking mine. I picked up a second SS51 Soundwave too since he’s on sale. Also one of my old coworkers told me they are getting 5 cases of ER Voyagers this week so I’ll stop by when Popfindr shows annincrease and hopefully report getting a Snapdragon

    I enjoyed having the inside knowledge on collector items and helping other collectors but not the crap I dealt with on most days. Oh well that is retail

    I don’t blame you for moving on! I worked retail for a few years andit can really grind on you. That was over 20 years ago...probably lots worse now.

    Sightings-wise, Newport Target is pretty dry. Saw the Clones at Florence Target as well as some NECA 40th Alien Dallas and Xeno figures (I bought the only Ripley they had).
