Found the Wave 1 Deluxe\'s at the Seigan Lane Target in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  

Had to get them to look it up, and go get the case out the back, but the figures are in stock.
 

 

Holly shit Cosmos!

 

I just talked to 2 local Targets:
-one location will be receiving tomorrow and will be put on the floor
-the other has 4 on the pegs currently

 

Go, go, go!

 

I think I will soon . . .

 

Anyone have upc #\'s for swoop or slag/slug?  Trying to search websites inventories.  I found a target dpci of 087-06-5863 but unsure which figure it goes to.

 

It goes to all figures in the deluxe class. Target (and for that matter all the other big box retailers) does not do inventory per UPC.

 

Oddly I have intrest in these.

 

Using the DCPI I was able to secure the first wave of Deluxe's in Phoenix, AZ. I've only opened Swoop so far and he's bog standard simple as far as transformation, but it's nice having a new Swoop to mess around with.

It points to the whole first wave of DLX's. You'll have to ask for specific named characters to be pulled for you or do what I did and just ask them to bring out what they have. There appears to be two Jazz in one case, but the rest are singles.

 

yeah, around Seattle the sales tax is pretty much 10%.

 

I really wish Hasbro would get their sh*t together with the distribution of the best selling franchise that they own that started it all. Here’s the thing, If there isn’t a street date, then these should be at every retailer at this point and not one singular state. If there is a street date, then what is it? I mean for crying out loud, this is becoming really confusing, I am getting dozens of different sources from this and it is frustrating beyond compare. And I know what your thinking, “why don’t you just ask the retailer or Hasbro themselves”?  Well first of all, any time I would ask an employee at say TRU they would look for it on their website rather than if they have even have in their inventory of that store specifically (which isn’t very helpful and IMO is just lazy customer service). Second of all, I tried asking Hasbro and they said spring 2018, which if that is the case... then how do you explain this “U.S. sighting”? If this turns into the same situation as the toys for TLK, then I don’t know what is going to happen. Seriously, I’m this close to cracking. 

 

Like I posted the other day: these figures aren’t out at every Target like some thought. I think those stores that put them out originally did their toy reset early. I stopped at the store that was supposed to have them: all they had was TLK and TR; obviously the 4 in the computer are 4 cases sitting in stock room (brilliant employees). I have more faith in the one employee that said they are doing a reset on the 15th of November.

Of course, Hasbro lets us down again because their distribution network sucks.

Where the hell are the pre-orders???

 

What state is that Texarizonas?

 

Like any other new toy line, a bunch of them are already on EBAY for completely ridiculous prices: one listing had the 2 dinobots for $80, another had all 4 of the these guys (Jazz, Slug, Swoop, Dreadwind) for over $150 shipped.

What a bunch of total assholes! No wonder the rest of us can't find POTP.

 

Yet people still buy them. I've been watching those auctions and watching them sell in less than an hour.

 

They are currently being shipped to targets on truck for their resets on the 26th of this month.

Not every store will have them becuase not every store will have the same shippment days. You should start seeing the brunt of target stores receive their product this week.

 

Does anybody know the DCPIs of the Voyagers, Leaders, Legends, or Primemasters? I would guess not, as people would already be probing their stores, but I was curious as I was going to hit up mine.

 

So overwhelmed!

Only have local WG and TRU...should I try the Walgreens?
Obviously there's more stores but +5 miles away.
Or should I wait to do a Christmas toy hunt?
Or should I finish TR????????
So many thoughts!!!
