    After venturing out to Barborsville Target who have done their reset also, I have secured the FoC wave 1...

    I am still in shock to have something new.

    But my mini review is that I love these figures for the simple fact that it doesn't take me an hour to transform them. If you want figures which are simple and fun to play with as I do after years of movie figs, u should pick them up! Also, so far nothing has broken right out of the packaging! Even though I did have to return a Shockers bc his visor looked...ah, "melty".

    Also at Southridge I got Weaponizer Prime and in spite of what I have seen about the back kibble I love this toy. Easy to transform yet big, detailed and posable. Of course that's prolly reflecting my own tastes. I tried 2 or 3 times to transform voyager Prime and just gave up when it came time to "work the arms" into place, lol!

    All that being said, no way am I going to try to secure foc wave 2 around here, or Prid voyager wave 3.

    Definitely going online for those.

    I had to run up to Cincinnati today and scored a FOC Prime figure. I found a Shockwave, but he was missing one of his wings.

    I checked out Target in Southridge today. I found all of the FOC guys, Prime Hotshot, Arcee, and Ratchet, and the Big Optimus Maximus, and Weaponizer Bumblebee. I left it all cause I didn't need any of them.

    So like I said Summersville Wally World finally had cases new stuff out on a pallet, and I had them open a case for the FoC figures like a week ago right?
    So I go back the other day, and THEY NEVER PUT ANY OF THAT NEW STOCK OUT!!
    They had cases for Optimus Maximus, New TF Kreo sets, commander cyberverse wave 2, and Weponizers, and they put NONE OF IT OUT!!! what the hell!?

    You need to talk to the manager. Trust me, that stuff got disappeared and should be out if the reset has been done. Are there tags for the stuff on the shelves? Look for the labels for the product. If so then you should explain to the manager everything you posted here. I know it may seem silly, but it isnt because we spend our gas looking in these stores all year long, and many times they need someone to remind them of why resets and new [roduct matter in the toy aisles too.

    I remember when Target at Southridge was trying to tell people that they weren't supposed to get product out of the backroom because they got tired of people requesting Prime Deluxes back when they first came out and we all had the DCPIs. I saw that on the boards and walked in there and got the same crap from a team lead. I then informed her that I worked for Target for 3 years and I knew the process, that there are people there all day whose job it is to get stuff out of the back for "guests"(Target lingo for customers). And you know what? She went to the back without another word and brought the case out.

    In fact, just so everyone on here knows, you should be able to call Target whenever you want and ask them to check a dcpi. If they have what you want they are supposed to get it and hold it until close. Some stores will hold it for 24 hours!

    University town center walmart in morgantown had a good amount of DOTM stuff ugh. But they also had the latest botshots wave (I grabbed jazz and Powerglide) two PRID optimuses and a few cyberverse legions.

    Target ( in the same area) had a whole lot of botshots, both powerizers, voyager megs, all those RC car things, both vehicle playsets and Optimus Maximus. I grabbed cyberverse Magnus and Ironhide as I've been looking for them.

    Oh and target also had FoC jazz and prime and a whole whack of PRID deluxes.

    Checked out Southridge today, and Target had quite a bit of new stuff. Picked up FOC Shockwave there. Wal-Mart is still a disaster just a bunch of Bumblees.

    I found them awkwardly placed at the end of the action figure aisle along with some clearance items.
