    As of last night, the Richardson Road Target had one Thundertron and several Vehicons. I snagged Ultra Magnus.

    We got another case of GDO voyagers and FOC combaticons last night at Ferguson TRU. Generations deluxe are now 15.99. The combaticons sure are colorful lol

    Hit TRU in Florassant. They had GDOs including springers. I grabbed one. I know there was one left. No FE Prime or Bulkhead. Would had been great to find those due to BOGO sale.

    Hit St Charles Rock Rd. They had vehicons and the rest of the wave. Nothing I was looking for but I did find an awesome Indian Grocer called Akshar for curry ingredients.

    Funny enough I did run into a friend there I did not expect to see. Rare occurrence since I am still new here and don't have many friends here. My wife did manage to get into a fight with the manager though over a mis-described sale, a groupon and poor communication skills on their point. Her words: "you don't mess with Asians and their math." Her math was right, but the fine print beat her.

    The Jefferson City Target had Generations Blast Off, Onslaught, and Vortex. I went to both Walmarts, Hastings, TJ Maxx, and Kmart to find empty shelves.

    Went to Springfield and stopped at TRU. They had no GOD Voy. on the shelf but 1 case on the over head so I got it down and snaged the Hotshot out of it. The only GOD deluxes were Swerve and Wheelie BUT they had 5 cases up top, they were stacked so high I couldn't get them down so I got a stocker, he said since the pegs were full he couldn't open another case, as we walked away my wife asked "aren't you getting one?" I said loud enough so the whole full aisle could hear " If they don't want to make a sell I can't make them".

    Finally grabbed a Hot Spot at the Crestwood TRU. Still had a Megatron on the shelf.

    Odd that the stocker wouldn't open the case for you. I remember sometime in 2011 ( i believe ) I asked them to open a case and they did it willingly. Really would seem odd that it would be store policy.

    It's actually a company policy. Most employees just find a way to cram the rest of the case on the shelf somewhere. We can't put a case up top unless it is full. It's mostly a inventory issue, but I blame the Hot Wheels collectors looking for one car in a case of 72. Also remember that a lot of employees at this time are seasonal and will do everything by the book in order to keep their job after Christmas.

    Ah, makes sense. Didn't know it was a company policy especially since they've been so helpful the few times i've needed it over the years. Can't blame the seasonals either. Crazy time of year.

    Just a quick update. Prime voyager and weaponizers just got a price increase at TRU. 29.99 and 32.99 respectfully. Gotta take advantage of the last minutes shoppers I guess. Price "should" go back to normal after Christmas. Ferguson trucks for the week are Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night

    Springfield TRU has a couple Thundertrons and an Ultra Magnus. Target has a few movie deluxe two packs for 9.99. They're on a low counter one off of the regular transformer aisle.

    The Columbia TRU had a Powerizer Ultra Magnus, but his weapon seemed broken.

    Thanks! I stopped and got a Prime. Or should I say, I stopped to wait in line for an hour. Oy.

    Deluxes are 2 for $22.99, but no Combaticons. They have GDO deluxes. I saw 1 GDO Voy Megs and 1 FE 2-pack with Megs removed and an FE Vehicon jammed in.

    So in Columbia:
    TRU: had several full sets of GDO deluxes on the pegs and in a dunk bin at the front of the store. They also had all the GDO scouts except Brawl. There were also a few Thundertrons and an Ultra Magnus sitting on the shelves.
    Broadway Walmart: Full set of FoC combaticons
    Grindstone Walmart: Had Onslaught and Brawl from FoC
    Target: Had Onslaught, Brawl, and I think Swindle from FoC. Many Vehicons laying around too. There was also a Thundertron.
