Thanks for the tips. Picked up Swoop and Slug from the Valley West Target. Although there was a single Jazz on the pegs from whoever picked up the first batch, they said there were 8 in the back including the Swoop and Slug i picked up.
I was there literally yesterday, and there was a single lone Dreadwind. Would have bought most of the wave, if I'd seen it.
After striking out again at the Locust Street Walgreens as well as the East Euclid Walgreens in Des Moines, I finally found Cloudraker & Wingspan at the North Ankeny Blvd Walgreens in Ankeny tonight. Bought one and left FOUR. $17.99 each. Looks like these guys should be plentiful if all stores will eventually be getting this much stock. Go get 'em!!
I think you'll have better luck by just going to customer service and giving them the DPCI number for the Deluxes. Brickseek shows "In Stock" at all of the Iowa Target stores this morning, so you should be able to go just about anywhere an grab a full set from the back if they're not on the shelves already.
target in davenport iowa had two full sets of power of the prime wave 1 in the back but all that is left is a dreadwind . snag the rest for me and a friend.
Wow that's weird the sales lady went back and brought the whole box out. Then she ask if I wanted the whole box but I just grabbed what I needed but she was real nice about it unfortunately I didn' get the sales price.
If anyone is interested, Walgreen's on 22nd in West Des Moines has several Cloudraker and Wingspan clone sets in.
Brickseek showed Merle Hay and Urbandale Target stores got the PotP Legends in this morning. I called Urbandale first and they were able to locate the case of eight they received (they were still in the stockroom), but said they had a "set date" of 11/26. The rep told me his manager said they would sell me one of the eight, but not a set of four. Pass. I couldn't get anybody to answer the phone at Merle Hay, so I went in to the store and gave them the DPCI. She showed an "on hand" number of eight as well, but they were somewhere on the floor, per her handheld thingie (the technical term, I'm sure). Couldn't find them in the aisle, but she showed me about six shopping carts full of boxes that they were currently setting. Guessing they were somewhere packed in there. We looked through a few for the obvious Hasbro boxes, but after about five minutes, I gave up and again figured I'd just wait longer. So long story short, if anybody stops in to the Merle Hay Target later today, chances are they'll finally have the eight Legends figures set or at least have a better idea where the eff they are. Also, I'm assuming since two stores in Des Moines got them today, they'll be rolling out to the rest of them by the weekend.
Heads up to the Iowa City area folks... I called the Coralville Target on my way to eastern Iowa for Thanksgiving yesterday afternoon and they found their box of 8 Legends, held four for me at the guest service desk, and I picked them up on my way through. They just put the four figures in the Legends case box and gave that to me, so I assume the other four went out on the floor. Looks like Cedar Rapids North and Waterloo have them as well. Same method may work there.
Hey guys, if anyone in the QC area is interested I have a spare loose Cloudraker and Wingspan set that I'd sell you for $15. Long story but I ended up with 2 loose sets. I've got the cards and instructions. PM me if you are interested.
Hey Iowa people, I was in Monroe from Chicago and went to Target in Altoona and they had the POTP deludes in back. I grabbed the 2 Jazz for me and a buddy but left the rest. They are still in the stockroom. Good luck!
Gonna throw this out there again... Has anybody run across Twin Twist, Misfire, or Ramhorn in the Des Moines metro area in the last few weeks? I know we had sightings a few months ago (I grabbed a lone Windblade from that wave), but with PotP hitting shelves now, I'm worried we won't see another restock of Wave 5 Titans Return. They're around $20-25 on Amazon and eBay, but I'd like to find them locally and save a few bucks, if possible.
The Cedar Falls Wal-Mart has a bunch of POTP Legends in a stocking stuffer cardboard display near the front of the store. Big red thing, you can't miss it, full of toys for $10 and under. Picked up a Beachcomber, left what looked like two cases. There's a Slugslinger in the aisle where the TFs are too.
Aldi in Waterloo had three Ramhorns, I took one and left the other two. Cedar Falls didn’t have any left when I was there earlier today.
Nothing new at the Davenport TRU as of 12:30 today but I had better luck when I jumped the river to Moline. Did not see (or really look for) prime masters but the Toys'R'Us in Moline did have a few deluxes and they had a set of voyagers, which I bought. I didn't see any more voyagers left on the shelf but its definitely not impossible that they still have some as the shelves are very crowded and the ones I found didn't really look to belong anywhere. Also of note maybe, the Davenport Walmart did have an RiD deluxe Twinferno but no sign of Bludgeon or Thermidore.
Saw a lone clones 2-pack at the downtown Des Moines Walgreens on Locust. The box was in kind of rough shape, so if that doesn't bother you, get after it! Also, called the Clive TRU with the PotP Voyager Item Number and they're expecting it on their truck over the weekend, so we'll be joining the Moline sighting soon!
Went shopping here in CR yesterday and Blairs Ferry Aldi had a couple Ramhorns in their seasonal section. I grabbed one. Also, Blairs Ferry Target has PotP Deluxe Jazz and Dreadwind as well as Legends Class Windcharger and Skrapnel. Those were kind of tricky to find as they were on one of the rear facing end caps towards the board games wall.
Kind of off topic, but if anybody collects the Mattel WWE Retro figures (they look like the old Hasbro figures from the 90s), several GameStop stores have the latest Series 3 (Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, AJ Styles, Goldberg). I honestly didn't know GameStop sold action figures. Interestingly, each store around here only got what seems like a random two of the set of four. I called every single one in the Des Moines metro, and had to go to two different stores to get the full set of four. So I can confirm that both the Altoona and Jordan Creek locations are dry, but all others had two each as of 10am this morning. Some had dupes of the same figure, so calling first might be best. Back to your regularly scheduled Transformers Sightings programming.
Looks like PotP leaders have started to hit. Does anyone have the DCPI so I can keep my on on Brickseek?
