    Argh! I almost went there and checked, but when I asked if the operator could check a DPCI, she said yes and then put me in phone system hell instead.

    Ok I said screw it and went out to Brentwood after all. The TF section is frikkin’ gutted worse than I think any other Target I’ve seen in recent memory...one Runabout on the shelf. But they had Cyc in back and held him at Electronics for me. Yay!

    Arnold Target has kingdom deluxes, 1 voyager, and 4 leaders in the back according to their scanners. They also had a few MPM 7 Bumblebee on the shelf. Never saw those in person until today. 79.99 each.

    side note: they have a vintage collection millennium falcon on the shelf which is massive!

    They had the scout class and the voyagers on the shelf Saturday. Was hoping for a Warpath but no luck.

    And yes.....that Falcon taunts me everytime I walk by it. Looks like its the same falcon as the legacy collection one from about 10ish years ago which i had and was friggin beautiful. But the blasted thing is just so dang big......and now this one is so friggin expensive $399.99!!!

    * clears throat*

    they have arrived.

    5855FBA1-C8D1-4AE4-939F-40D14400C9D7.jpeg

    they were putting the other Hot rod on the shelf. So before I asked they had 10 studio series voyagers in their system, tho only one box on the cart. May be worth asking if they have more. Used dpci
    087-06-5839

    No deluxes but they did have 2 leaders on hand but not on the shelf so who knows what those are, didn’t ask. If you use the kiosk type in transformers studio series. Whom ever you see on there will share the same dpci unless it is a exclusive.

    edit: duh, hgwy k target.

    I talked to them an hour ago and they said they wouldn’t be putting them out until tomorrow but would hold them for me. Guess that didn’t work out.

    Ok, they have one of each held for me. Phew. I was a little perturbed to be honest. "Sure, we won't be putting them out until tomorrow, unless DoubleJ comes in and then of course we will be selling them immediately." Seems to be a new Target store policy. LOL!

    They still have some Hot Rods on the shelf, per the employee I spoke with.

    Also, I had Bridgeton check the deluxe DPCI (087-06-5834) and none of the local stores are showing more than 1-2, so that tells me that likely none of them have received that shipment yet. Come on, with Blurr in the assortment you would think it'd have moved faster!

    Oh dip, I didn't realize Studio Series 86 Grimlock would be out in this wave to keep an eye out for!? I'll sell a damn kidney to get him if I have to.

    No one has reported seeing Grimlock yet. So the store may say they have Studio Series leaders on-hand, but I would expect them to be a repack of Bayverse Constructicons.

    Good to know! If anyone sees them in person and is willing to work out a trade, I'd be happy to offer most anything in my collection.

    Ok got them both along with a polite lecture that target can’t hold items for people.

    “I don’t understand that since I have had people hold items at different stores plenty of times with no issue.”

    Ok, well, we can’t hold high demand items.

    “Ok, how do I tell if an item is high demand?”

    Ok, well, we can’t hold items that the toy department manager seems high demand.

    “Ok, but how do I know what the manager considers high demand? And if I talk to different people, or even different stores, and they don’t follow the same process, that’s really confusing. Are you saying I can’t call and ask about holding an item, or are you saying that I can ask but the answer might be no?”

    Ok, you can call and ask but depending on what it is and who you speak with they may say no.


    Lol. I totally understand the policy and don’t have any issue with it, provided that they enforce it consistently for all customers and all employees are aware of it. Otherwise, don’t give me that garbage. He actually tried to lump these in with PS5s and XBox Ones. Seriously, dude? This is a $30 toy, not a $500 gaming system. Let’s not overreact.
