I've been looking for this figure for two days and 7 targets (4 of those I was actually there when they were putting the toys out and nothing) and haven't even got a wiff of this guy. Even more worrysome, most of the stores had the endcap display with a red sign advertising the combiner, now they've taken them out (the combiner signs not the endcaps); WTF?
I thought that since this was a Target exclusive it was going to be easier to find, this is bringing very bad memories of the hunt for Walmart's MP Starscream.
What are your thoughts guys?
Thanks for your time. |

Just give it some time. Target exclusives seem to either trickle or flood. I remember looking high and low for DS Starscream, only to see it on clearance a month after I bought it.

Where do you live? Chances are they have an asston in the back and they just haven't bothered stocking it. The Targets around here all have it, whether it's displayed or not. One of my Targets doesn't have a display for it, but punching in the DPCI shows that they have them readily available in the back. If you've dealt with me, please leave feedback here. Thanks! | |

So I thought that the Target exclusives were available all at once in all the stores, I guess they just haven't reached this city yet. I'll keep my eyes peeled. It's actually good to hear that they trickle too ( like at some other retailers), that way I still have hope of finding him.
One more question, with the exclusives, do ALL the stores always get the exclusives?.
Thanks guys, I was afraid I'd miss him. | |

Really trying to find this guy too | |

I've only encountered one Target that actually has them out for sale and that's because I talked to one of the people on Saturday and had them bring one out for me and the guy just brought 3 cases and stocked the endcap. One Target I checked had them listed as in the stockroom one day (I didn't ask to have one pulled) and, the next morning, the scanners said they had none in stock...despite them not having an endcap or any empty space for them. I hate crying "scalpers!!!" whenever some toy isn't instantly on shelves everywhere in massive quantities, but this set is proving to be suspiciously hard to find.  | |
