I was kinda surprised...
Great news! Score one for the good guys!

I even got to meet the guys I thought were my local scalpers. Turns out, they're just a couple other collectors. One was going after the new marvel figures, and the other was hoping for new GI Joes. They were a little rude to the clerks who were still filling the pegs, but they weren't ripping short packed figures off the pegs by any means. At least I know who my competition is, and I even know their cars now too...

Chase Avenue Target also has their Prime figures out. Soundwaves were all gone by the time I came in for work, but I did manage to score Megatron, who I'm pretty excited to open.

Man, it's not fair - this reset brings out all the Prime figures for the Transformers collectors, the Avengers and Marvel Legends for the Marvel people, and heck, I even hear the GI Joe guys are starting to get some love. But for us poor DC Classics collectors, it's still the same ol' Orange Lantern Lex Luthors that have been clogging the shelves since November. >_<

Nothing too interesting in the Appleton area by the Fox River Mall.

TRU had one each of the Prime Legion Class Arcee and Vehicon.

Walmart had the 3-pack of Bot Shots w/Acid Storm and also the Bot Shot Launchers.

Target had the pegs full of Prime wave 1 with no Soundwaves.They had a bunch of the older Transformers stuff(Generations Wheeljack and Kup,DOTM HA basics,Ultimate Optimus Prime)on an end cap,but it was all still at regular price.

Delafield - Target
2 each of the whole deluxe Prime line. 1 Megatron too. They also have 1 HA Leadfoot and 2 HA Roadbusters for $14.95 (on an endcap a little further down from main TF isle)

Walmart out there had nothing Prime related. Marshal's was null and void as well.

Hudson Target had their reset done as well, 3x Movie Trilogy Optimus' w/ trailer, TFP deluxes included Soundwave, Ratchet(?), Bumblebee, & Cliffjumpers... My little purchase today was for the single-packed Bumblebee & Prime Bot Shot figures... Very neat little guys & I look forward to finding the Nemesis Prime/Megatron/Acid Storm 3-pack (though I have no interest in the Acid Storm)...

I assume you meant Wheeljack instead of Ratchet. If they had Ratchet, I think that would be a first for Wisconsin at this point.

Correct. No Ratchets. Just that first wave of the figures. Bee, Cliff, Wheeljack and Soundwave. I'm still on the fence with Ratchet. I want a representation of the figure, but I would think a Voyager would be somewhere down the line. The deluxe seems a bit white and I'm not sure about the vehicle mode.
