    I just now spotted two MP-10s at the West Des Moines TRU. They were in a small Transformers display at the front of the store along with some movie stuff. Both boxes had some dents/creases and I own one from the first go around, so I passed. Plus, it's $160 this time around. Yeeks! So if you're not interested in a MISB version, go get em boys and girls!

    Has anybody seen the Cosmos/Seaspray wave of Titans Return Legends anywhere in the Des Moines area? I'm still searching for Seaspray. Daily checks of the Target DPCI tracker have shown all area Target stores with 0 available stock for the past several weeks, so I'm guessing they may not be refilling these while the movie toys are in abundance. Any Walmart or TRU sightings of those bad boys?

    I've seen several of Cosmos at the area Targets but have always missed out on the Seaspray.

    Yeah, same. I'd see like four or five of Cosmos (Cosmoses?) and absolutely zilch Seasprays. :(  I think I could pay a few bucks more on feeBay to get one, but I really want to find one in the wild if possible. A boy can dream.

    To add a bit... The Target DPCI tracker today shows zero for all Des Moines are stores, but 3 for both Fort Dodge and Cedar Falls. That's a bit of a drive for me, especially since all six of those could be....Cosmos. :)

    Anymore I tend to just pre-order everything. At a certain point the amount of time and money spent hunting and finding nothing overwhelmed my desire to go try and find things myself.

    I got excited yesterday because the Target DPCI tracker for the TR Legends class figures went from 0 to 8ish for all Des Moines area stores. I stopped at Merle Hay Target last night and found it was just a re-stock of Waves 3 and 4. No sign of Cosmos or Seaspray. I'm afraid that's what I'm going to find at all of the area Target stores, as everybody's stock suddenly jumped yesterday. Guessing the distribution center just sent everybody the same stuff. :( 

    The good news is, if you're looking for any Wave 3 or 4 Legends, there are likely plenty in the wild.

    Cedar Rapids TRU has two Movie Masterpiece Optimus Primes ($99.99), two MP-10s ($159.99) and the Last Knight Infernocus. Not much at Target.

    Finally tracked down a Seaspray at the Ankeny Target. They had one left along with a bunch of Cosmos and a few earlier waves.

    Don't know if it's been found yet, I'm not a fan, but I spotted my first 1-Step Dragonstorm at the Target on Merle Hay Rd in Des Moines. Actually quite nice in person.

    Hate to ask, but has ANYONE in Des Moines seen a Deluxe TLK Hot Rod? I've asked store managers and he hasn't even been in packs yet.

    I was just at Merle Hay Target over lunch today and saw one on the pegs.
