    Since my guess is that a number of you are subscribed to this thread -- has anyone else any problems getting the email notifications when this or any thread is updated? Mines been real spotty the past few weeks and I wasn't sure if it was the board or my email account.

    I wasn't notified of YOUR post (or the prior three), if that's any indication.

    I didn't receive a notification either. Shin -- any ideas?

    Also, does everyone who wants one already have a 20th Prime? There are two at the Woodbury Target. If everyone already has one then I'll stop posting when I see them.

    I'm waiting to have some $ before I get one but Judging by Alt Smokescreen and now Sideswipe I figure I have a little time.

    I'll look into the sub problem.

    Toy: 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime - grey gun
    Store: Target
    City: Shoreview
    State: Minnesota
    Country: USA

    Note: One there. Contemplated scanning for our wedding registry, but fiance was NOT having that. Still there, AFAIK.

    Time: 3:00 PM
    Toy: 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime
    Store: Toys R Us
    City: Maplewood
    State: Minnesota
    Country: USA

    Note: Funny story. I was searching the pegs on the endcap for new Energon figs when a TRU employee asked me if I was looking for the new Optimus. I said yeah, then he pointed out the empty spot on the shelf. He told me there were three put out that disappeared within 15 minutes. It didn't occur to me until just now that OP was two per case. I believe the helpful employee got one for himself! He said they would be restocked this week...

    I had a weird find today. I was at Target Bloomington, which btw had 2 grey gun Annv Primes. Anyhoo, I found one lone Armada Powerlink Jetfire. Since there was no place for it on the shelf, I scanned the barcode for a price. The price... $0.00 !!!

    Assuming an error, I took it to guest service. The associate told me it rang up that way because they no longer carry them. She looked it up (not sure how), and while it wasn't actually "free", I did take home my Jetfire for $6.22!
    I don't recall seeing him clearanced anywhere for THAT cheap!

    It's probably an isolated incident. But if you see any Armada stuff still lurking around Target, scan it and see what happens!

    Peace!

    See the way that works is after its been on clearance for a while it goes salavge. So the price you got it for was the last price it was in the system at, which should be 75% off.

    Also what this means is was it was probably a return and whoever put it out didn't realize it was salavge, cause they are usually pretty good at getting anything that is still left on the floor that goes salavage off the floor.

    Believe it or not, E Megs was at the Bemidji Wal-Mart. Not that that information helps anyone :D  Still haven't seen the wave 2 basics though . . .

    Actually, that is helpful, because now we know that the distribution center for MN is shipping out Megs!
    Anyway, today at 2:30 PM, Blaine Wal-mart had 2 sets of Wave 2 Basics. One set remained as I left...

    Well, thanks anyway, but I have no car, so I'll just wait for the basics to make it up here . . . Megatron ROCKS BTW. Possibly my all time favorite TF. The sounds are a bit annoying, but I will just leave out the batteries.

    Fridley Wal-Mart has their "Featured Product" Section for TF's up. There are plenty of Universe Sunstorm, Prowl, Side Burn, Spychanger 2-Packs. New Energon includes the Mini-Con Team two packs and wave 2 basics, but not one frickin' Megatron!!!!

    Coon Rapids Wal-Mart has MEGATRON!
    There was at least one left after I snagged one.
    Absolutely wonderful toy, by the way.
    So hurry up and get one if you're in the area.
