    Shelves at my Target have become almost devoid of generations figures. Only 2 Perceptors, 1 Broadside and some assorted titan masters. Wondering if they were pulled to make room for wave 5?

    From what I can tell, a lot of movie figures are mysteriously gone, too. Shelves were full of deluxes and Grimlocks for weeks, but now there're only 6 Berserkers, 4 Slashes, 4 Grimlocks and 2 Primes (which appeared out of nowhere, for the record). Either this store's been hit by scalpers or old stuff is being pulled to make room for new stuff

    Target at Riverside and Broadway in Sac has all of the Wave 3 and 4 figures, except for Getaway. Along with a TR Megatron. I forgot to check the endcaps though.

    Target Mira Mesa has 2 TR Kups, Restock of Turbo Changers Megatron Berserker Grimlock and Bee, no TR Voyagers, Restock of Some TLK Voyager Primes and Grimlock, and a Lone VC Hound... Dunno if it was still there when I left. Some of the Marvel Legends Spider Man Homecoming wave and... Those 12 Inch Black Spider Men.

    Foster City/Bridgepointe today:
    TRU: 1 Cybertron. Nothing else new.
    Target: Lots of wave 4 TR deluxes. Legends- just the Brawn wave, no Seaspray/Cosmos.

    Also, if anyone in the Bay Area still needs the Chaos on Velocitron set, I got ahold of an extra... asking $180 MISB, local pick up (mainly trying to pay down my own set ;) ) Lmk if you're interested.

    I've seen a couple of Chaos on Velocitron sets at TRU's all over the LA area. They are out there.

    Checked out My D Pins today and they didnt have anything new and it looks like their TF section of the store got a lot smaller since last I was in there. They still have a few Unite Warrior sets and Takara Headmasters tho.

    What happened with Phat Collectibles,I heard they moved their location on Ball to somewhere else?

    Target at Birdcage had a flotilla of Broadsides, Galvatron, Hot Rod, 2 Quakes, Krok, 2 Twinfernos, Perceptor, Kup, Kickback, Brawn (both Master and Deluxe), Roadburn (a few of him), and Bumblebee. Sorry, I took the last Octone since this was the first time I have seen him.

    Damn, he was the one I really wanted. Octane was a consolation prize. Funny that I have seen a bunch of Broadsides and Sixshots when they were hard to find.

    For the UW sets,the price varies from set to set so any where from 140 to 180.

    Same goes for the Legends Headmasters,they haveeverything from Hardhead thru Astrotrain,from 40 for deluxes to 80 for voyagers.

    Well I think either the Octanes are being released with a second wave of Broadsides. Or scalpers are snagging the Blitzwings. Who knows?

    Found TR Optimus Prime and the TRU exclusives at TRU Monterey. Didn't get to go to the Target, sadly.
