    F*CKING FINALLY!!! Found Alt Silverstreak (RHD) at the new Wal-mart in Lamar (that's about 35 miles north of Joplin on I-71, I just stumbled across it by chance). There were still 2 when I left.

    Got Alt. Hound at Wal-mart in Joplin. It was the only one they had, but they also had 2 Silverstreaks (LHD).

    Also saw several Universe Crystal Widow vs. Oilslick sets at K-mart in Independence this morning and Energon Strongarm and Offshoot at Targets in Overland Park and Shawnee on Weds.

    Thanks so much. Shame I won't be able to check out any stores till Sunday. :(  That's cool though that Kmart has something new. Let me just cross my fingers. Maybe my husband (whose is visiting a friend in Mound City) will bring something home for me.

    Still nothing in Springfield. I did pick up two Armada figs at the Wal*Mart in Nixa though. And in case no one knows, energon prime & scorponok are on sale at the Kansas Exp WM for $5 off each.

    I knew....but I wasn't allowed to tell anymore. They actually opened on the 20th. I worked for Target for a few days before decideing it wasn't for me and turned in my resgination.(There was a disagreement on where I would be working, and in a nut shell they had lied to me during the interview process.) They were toteing the 25th as the opening day so they wouldn't get flooded with people on the 20th. To let the employees get a weeks worth of experince under their belt before a big rush.....but I guess not everyone kept it as downlow as I did. I kept my word....unlike Target it's self.


    Anyways....if there isn't Hound then no need for me to even look. Can go straight to the SW stuff.

    Well, they have to sell two Sideswipes, two Smokescreens, three Landmines, one Scorponok, two Jetfires, and two Ironhides before they can put out anything that I would need. :( 

    Apparently they have cases and cases and cases of TF's in the back which cannot be opened until they are needed on the salesfloor. I know this because the women that was stock supervisor at the GAP (where I work stock) is now a big-wig stock person at Target, so now I can get the inside scoop.

    Silverstreak found at WM in Nixa. I hid him between the landmines in case any of you want to pick him up. Other than that, nothing. Believe it or not Nixa stocked ARMADA toys on the shelves last week. I picked up a powerlinx red alert and a dinobots two-pack for $20 total. Missouri is weird.

    That I did.....That I did. Last one to get him in this area it seems too. Oh well hopefully that meants I'll be the first one to get Tracks or Dead End. =P


    And the only thing that isn't moveing in the new Target is TFs. I collect SW stuff as well and they can't keep SW in stock....I thought this was gonna make it easier for me find stuff not harder. :eyebrow

    I know the Xevoz section clears out pretty fast. My friend and I are to blame for that :lol  .

    I'm not sure how accurate Targets inventory tracking system is, but according to the price scanner thingies (price check station, inventory kiosk, whatever) they don't even have any megas or ultras in the backroom.
