2 kingdoms primes and primal, bunch of the buzzworthy bumblebee and spike 2 pack as well as two ectotron at the kirkwood target. edit: let me add more. Actually they have transformers spanning over three aisles. Buzzworth stuff near the MOTU and Star Wars stuff as well as Earthrise stuff thrown on a shelf in another aisle. Also they have super 7 gold bumblebee mixed in with that Earthrise stuff.
Springfield Target STILL haven't stocked any Kingdom or SS86 stuff. One employee said they have until the 10th to get everything on the shelves. Of course every other Target in MO has had them out for a week.
Vogel Rd Target in Arnold has two Kingdom Optimus Prime (truk not munkey), plus a bunch of Bumblebee stuff. Fenton Target has two SS Hot Rods & one Kingdom OP (this is after I grabbed one along with Kingdom core OP and Vertebreak). Rusty Rd Target (South County) has 5 Hot Rod, I found one Blurr and a MPM-7 Bumblebee (didn't know he was out/around).
Target on Rusty Road was a success. she brought them out from the back and there is now 1 blurr on the pegs.
They should be packed one to one based on entertainment earth website. Though quantum hawk had some other thoughts. I just don’t think the demand is there. I already have several primals that get the job done. The new bw offering don’t offer enough of an upgrade to justify the cost.
Bridgeton Target has a ton of Earthrise Megatron and QUINTESSON JUDGES!!! I guess that's where they all went, this is the first time I've seen them in the wild. There was also one Op Primal and several Hot Rods
Those have been there for months, amazingly. Only place I've seen the Quint Judge and where I got mine.
Bridgeton Target is down a Hot Rod; just got a call from a family member that they're picking it up for me ^_^
Yeah, for some reason Target is being shy about hitting the clearance button for all of the remaining Earthrise toys. I saw a bunch of clone 2 packs, Battlemasters, and Micromasters thrown on a back endcap yesterday at one Target but all still at full price. (I'm not sure what they're waiting on, they're all non-carry forward and off planogram, so break out those yellow tags already and I'll gladly go back and take any of the Soundbarriers and Slitherfangs they had off their hands!)
The toy manager at Bridgeton Target told me they’re not allowed to mark down prices themselves anymore, or the hundreds of ER Megatrons would already be gone.
Yeesh, that blows. That's one thing I don't miss about retail; being lorded over by higher-ups when you should have the power to make decisions for your department yourself. Otherwise what's the point of even being in a leadership position? Grumble grumble...
The nasty, naked kind of Unholiness. But honestly my job allows me to be there at 8 when they open and its still one per customer . BUT I have been able to snag 2 more for friends on different days. As I've said sometimes they get just random stuff in large card board boxes and not full cases. Last year they got ONE Beach Head a day on a truck for 3 days.
What I don't get is why would they even have to make a decision at all? Usually the minute Christmas is over all of those discontinued toys automatically hit clearance, and then it's mostly gone by New Years. This year they're hanging onto most of it instead and it absolutely makes zero sense.
I checked Bridgeton again and their phantom 4 on-hand count for studio series deluxes. They were not happy at having to check this since apparently someone else just called to ask the same thing 5 minutes ago. They said they do not have any and the only other stores showing stock are Brentwood (1) and Chesterfield (2).
Shiloh Target has nothing. Looks like they still hadn’t reset. I went to Belleville Walmart even though I was sure the Belleville scalper has already picked it clean. There was some elita and wheel jack. Fairview Walmart just had wheeljacks.
So Teget on Mexico road has a endcap They also have the following in the main tf section, 2 primals 1 hot rod 1 of each kingdom deluxes 1 of each kingdom leader(Megatron left with me) mans a bunch of the core class. An ectotron on another endcap. markdown aisle had the decepticon clones for 7.49 tho marked 17$.
