    Going to try Target tommorow. Maybe a different one next weekend. Does anyone have the UPC for Cosmos?

    If I don't find them by Sunday, well lets hope BBTS still has some pre-orders in stock.

    When the heck was the last time a domestic release was this anticipated by fans?

    Every time it's something someone wants?

    Still glad I got mine early I don't think this will be widespread even when they were out originally it was hard o fid them consistently at Targets only 1 out of my 4 in the area had the spot for them.

    The UPC/DCPI number probably wouldn't do you much good. Target seems to assign a DCPI to a whole class/pricepoint, so using Cosmos number has a fair chance of making them bring out a case of older stock that is also under the same number.

    Except this time Hasbro actually said they'd try to get these guys out despite retailers under ordering the first go around.

    Hopefully this means CP will be getting stock soon.

    Believe it or not, but my local Targets are pretty sucky as well when it comes to getting new stuff. They've been barren with only Construct-Bots and a few lingering Target Exclusive BH figures for months until Monday afternoon. I was in sheer disbelief when I saw Cosmos and Swerve packages hanging there. I almost didn't bother going there at all. I'm glad I did anyway.

    I haven't opened Swerve yet, but Cosmos is prety cool. Joints are crazy tight in most places, and be VERY careful when twisting his waist with some force.Hope you guys find him and Swerve! Happy hunting.

    Think you've slightly mistransformed the waist in that photo: the bottom of the saucer should be flush with the top of the waist with no gap.

    So, are they actually showing up across the Pacific northwest, or is this the only guy to find them?

    Highway2 Target in Spokane Washington has a healthy stock of Cosmo's, Swerve, Whirl, and Rhinox, for those in the area looking.

    Not for sure but they could even have reused the DCPI from the data discs for the size class still since that's what it was called still when the Megatron and Starscreams were there.

    So, a Target could say it has it by the number but could still have data discs I'd definitely make sure what's on the shelf when calling around asking about the number.

    I double-checked with my local Target, and had my hopes up since they had a case in the back.. brought it out and it was MORE Prime/BB/SS/Megatron.

    Gah! Jersey's always last!!!

    There is a sightings thread for every state.
    Transformers Sightings - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards

    Just check there and you'll know when to go looking at your local Targets.

    It's the same DPCI as the other legends that have been rotting on the pegs for over a year, so it's not likely to be of any help to you. 087-06-1379.

    I really, really, need that Cosmos. Swerve I can do without. I'll opt for Trashtalk.
