    Setauket Target is almost entirely desolate save for a remaining Bonecrusher, two non-Deluxe Earthspark Primes and 3 or 4 Jetwing Primes..

    All of the Rochester area Target stores seem to have gotten a smattering of Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys as well as Earthspark toys. None of them interest me, but there is a lot of them. Chili Target seemed to have the largest selection, but all the Target stores have some of each line in.

    Target 61st and Broadway has lots of clearance toys all over the place on various aisle endcaps and corners.

    I saw Red Cog, Terrorsaur and Cyberverse Arcee on clearance as well as the BB Heroes of Cybertron set.

    At standard pricing, they also have an SS Galvs, Earthspark stuff, both Street Fighter sets, and BB SS Prime.

    They did have one Tonkanator, and after a pleasant conversation with a clerk about it having been on clearance recently, I was given that price again.

    So how much did you eventually pay for that devastator repaint?

    Around $45. I know I bemoaned how overpriced this thing was previously, but I couldn't argue at that point with it in front of me (same happened with Blackout). I'd even consider the Street Fighter collabs at that price point. :D

    Any chance you can post a picture of your receipt or maybe a picture of a price sign when it was up for 45?

    I know it sounds troublesome but I might be able to get the management over here to honor that price if I had some form of documentation from another store

    I was afraid you'd ask that. I can post a pic here, but I'll tell you it rang up for full price, and it was the fact that the clerk was nice, and that it was hugely busy (she made a quick decision) that she decided to just do it and not call a manager. I have a feeling if the latter happened it wouldn't have been honored.

    But, try your luck with this...fingers crossed.

    Sorry it took so long. Life and work have been hectic. I've put the pics under a spoiler tag so as too not derail the thread.
