    I'm sure it is 99 Ranch. But everybody calls them Ranch 99. I know that I've always called them Ranch 99.

    Nice, congrats! It's actually a bit south of my normal range, my normal stores are the other Orange Target on Tustin, and the Fullerton Targets.

    Must be a regional thing? I've only heard it called 99 Ranch, as that's how the signs are written out, at least here at the Sacramento area locations.

    Ahhh I think I found out why from the wiki page on 99 Ranch.

    I know that the Folsom one reads as 99 Ranch. So probably why around here is is called correctly whole the one near Richmond looked more like Ranch 99 Market thus the confusion.

    Anyone seen wave 2 legends yet? They've been popping up here and there and I'm keen on getting Battletrap.

    No, there has been no US sightings as of yet. Only a handful of UK and Asia.

    Picked up the sole POTP Leader Rodimus this morning from Target San Ramon. No Optimus or Grimlock but all others well stocked.

    As of right now, there's a POTP Optimus/Rodimus set at the Target on 65th and Broadway in East Sac. And they look pretty freakin sweet!! Especially the Optimus.

    I have to lol at the fact that the newest TRU in OC, the one on Bristol, is closing. It's not the first time they've closed the most recently opened store in this area.

    True enough. Though that Toysrus felt smaller and had less stuff so it makes sense. The ones near me are staying open so I'm in the clear.

    Has anyone found a target clearance section worth raiding?

    Fortunately, the address mentioned in the press release is for a San Jose Babies R Us store which is across the street from Oakridge Mall and not the TRU further up Blossom Hill (whose address is 1082 Blossom Hill Road). So at least we aren't losing both San Jose TRUs. When the Monterey store closes, we'll be back down to the two original TRU stores that opened up in the 1970's. They probably own the land and buildings they are on (or have really long and cheap leases) which may be why they aren't closing them yet.

    Oh whew, I didn’t catch that.

    Still, the one at the Plant is a big flagship TRU/BRU combo, in an established shopping center. I’d have thought that’d be the last one standing...

    The Plant opened in 2007, and I am speculating here, but I bet the lease was probably up for renewal and they didn't want to renew it for whatever reason.
