    Ug sorry. He didnt make it clear that you had to get the whole case to me. He did say the same thing that Roufuss said, that a lot of retailers are skipping this wave.

    Just thought I checked in for our Transformers hunting. I checked the Ross' of donwtown Salem, Lancaster, and Kaizer. NOTHING! Seems like the Transformers rush were all long and gone after Christmas.

    Hey all. Has anyone in Salem or surrounding area seen the Dreamworks Voltron figures? My daughter is really into the show and she wants a red lion (her fave). I had an order with Amazon but they delayed it.

    So I found Deluxe and Titan Masters wave 3 but no sign yet of legends or voyagers. Have those been sighted in the area?

    I keep forgetting to look for these at the stores. That's where I pre ordered them as well, I missed getting the green one with the TRU.com alert, but did snag the black one from TRU.com yesterday.

    I've been checking every other day haven't found any. Heard target is the place to look. Let me know if you find any

    The DPCI should be out there for the Voltron stuff, take it and plug it into Brickseek to see if your store has any. I believe it should be 087-06-6487 for the combinable lions (not sure if this is what you all want), if that's the case it says Salem has 4.

    Can confirm. Salem had all five lions last time I was there. Only reason I didn't pick them up myself is because the paint application on the blue lion was absolutely terrible. Red should be fine though, if it's still there. If anyone finds these toys at a local Target though, make sure to let the rest of us know! I really hope this line doesn't stay mostly exclusive to TRU when a single case only appears to have like three or four Black Lions and two sets of the Legendary limbs.

    Went to the Star Wars store. Really cool place! Finally got myself TFCC Punch/Counterpunch. Lots of boxed G1s. And Revan is still there

    Does the black lion have a different DCPI? I just need that one. Please keep an eye out for me. Much appreciated and thanks!

    Should be 087-06-6492.

    A lot of the stores in and around Portland have these in stock but they won't get them out until the reset unless you get lucky and find a worker who is willing to go the extra mile. Salem is one of the few stores that has lower stock which means someone managed to get them all from the back.

    I don't have the exact date (I don't really buy stuff from Hasbro or Mattel anymore so stopped keeping up with that sort of info) but it's usually sometime in January, near the middle? After Christmas comes the Christmas clearance event, then a few weeks later once they've gotten rid of all that stuff they'll reset and put new stuff out.

    The reset stuff comes on a giant pallet and 9 times out of 10, it won't have a stockroom location which means Target employees just won't look for it.

    Nice! I'm waiting for Fred Meyer to get them in, they leave you alone when you feel up the bags :lol

    Speaking of FM, they're having a sale on those mystery bags 50% off, great deal on the Thomas ones :p .

    Also the Target off of Hall had the Strongarm, Grimlock and Starscream RID combiner force figures, looks like the newer ones were already grabbed.

    Targets are resetting this week. Picked up the Legendary Lions at the one in Wilsonville. They also had the graphic novel on the shelves! (the one that isn't supposed to come out until February) so I nabbed one of those too. The four smaller lions that I took were the only ones on display, but hopefully they'll replenish those soon. Regardless, Targets are the place to go now as the the limbs are cheaper there than they can be found at TRU.

    I got the new Voltron toys at Mall 205. Some jerk bought only the Yellow Lion so I had to Brickseek it. Found it at Fairview and it was in the back so check there
