    Holyoke Target had a TR Astrotrain today. They also had some RID I'd never seen in stores before, Bisk and Scatterspike.

    Thank you

    3x Titans Return Hot Rod and 1x Getaway at North Adams Walmart; picked up the last one each of Triggerhappy and Twinferno. Self checkout has trouble with the rollback price on TFs...

    Has anyone been to TRU lately? I'm looking for a TR Astrotrain. I got one from tru.com, but it was missing a shin piece, and they are out of stock online. They said I can exchange in-store, so I'm wondering if Astrotrain has been spotted at TRU.
    Thanks!

    Took a trip to Danvers Target today at about 5 pm. They had TR deluxes waves 1 & 2, lengends wave 2, as well as 2 or 3 each of TR Alpha Trion and Astrotrain. They also wave 3 Titanmasters (Fangry, Sawback, etc) my first time seeing them in the wild...they had 2 or 3 of each. If anyone is intetested, they also had a RID warrior Ratchet. His pokerchip Autobot logo was applied crooked, so keep that in mind.

    Overall, Target was very, very well stocked. Haven't seen this much TF product in one place in a long time.

    Comicazi has an in-box MP Hot Rod for $60. I assume it has been opened, but still a good deal IMO.
    They have a ton of great stuff (like always), but also of note was a Chevy Aveo Swerve loose for $20. I would have killed for that back in 2008!

    North Adams Walmart had a full set of Titan Masters Wave 3. Grabbed a Fangry but had trouble ringing it up, the system didn't recognize it.
    Also had some RiD Deluxes I've never seen in stores, like Windblade and Scorponok. TR Wave 3 Deluxes have all been cleared out.

    I had the same issue with Wave 3 Titanmasters at Danvers Walmart as well. They took them to the service desk, then a few minutes later came back and had put them in the system for $2.97...great! I would have bought more than two had I known.

    I had the same issue and they had to have the toy manager ring them in. After 5 minutes I almost said forget it!

    Holyoke Target had 3 Alpha Trions and 2 Astrotrains today. I wouldn't go anywhere near that place until Monday though, it was bonkers.

    Thank you

    I haven't been to the Target in Hadley in a week or so, but they were completely devoid of TFs when I was there. The action figure aisle at the one in Holyoke looked like a bomb had gone off when I was there yesterday.

    I don't know about the Walmarts in Hadley and Noho, I don't shop there.

    Thank you

    In case anyone still needs one, there was a Brainstorm in the Natick Walgreens this evening. It's the first one I've seen at retail.
