    Weird.

    Apple Valley Target didn't have any leaders from any series, and the Siege ones didn't even register on the scanner.

    They said usually means clearance or discontinued. Did Hasbro or Target change up DPCI's all of a sudden?

    Hiro Prime, I think is his TFW name. The guy that would bring a shit-ton of stuff to the meet ups.

    I was going to tag Hiro/Harold but he has a space in his username which breaks the whole thing.

    But yes. Hiro Prime, the guy likes to comes to meet-ups and cons and always has parts, is usually always willing to buy, and is fun to talk up about the line in general.

    Argenta Hills Target had a fresh case of Wave 2 Siege Deluxes, a Prime, a Megatron, and an SS Rampage. I bought one of the Sixguns, the SS DotM Megatron and Siege Magnus. $30 Leader class figures for the win.

    Bloomington Target had a handful of s2 BotBot blind packs out. Was able to get Hamurai, Javasaurus, and Sir Botcha. There should be an Overpack and Frizzle Fry left.

    Couple of blind bag S2 at Nicollet Target. #2 and 3 if I read them right.

    Also, for you Power Ranger fans, the first wave of Hasbro's lightning figures are hitting Eagan, Richfield, Argenta, and Nicollet Targets.

    Yeah, they're out, but apparently street dated. The Target handhelds say 4/21 and the registers say 5/1.

    Thx for this. I grabbed Chromia and Ironhide last night. Still on the lookout for a WFC Hound if anyone sees one.

    My part of town has been relatively short on Deluxes and where I have seen them were primarily Wave 2. @einhazard found me a Cog by his neck of woods so he may have seen a Hound around the same time.

    Is...is that the BW font?

    I think there might be a Hound at Edina Target? Definitely not one at Bloomington Target after yesterday. I feel like I saw one there, but I'm not really looking for Siege deluxes since I'm good until wave 3 hits. I'll keep an eye out.

    My wife found some G1 minibots at the Shakopee WalMart if anyone still needs those.

    Is it just the four? Bumblebee, Swerve, Warpath, Gears?

    No, but I think we won't see that one more commonly for a bit. Pulse's release date is July, and I know it was spotted out on the west coast (I think it was the west coast?) but I figure we'll start running it around June.

    I think they did Outback and Tailgate earlier?

    :EDIT:
    Man, I dunno if any of you have ordered from SirToys before, but apparently in order to get my package to me, they have to have it pass through a number of arcane leylines so it can be summoned into this dimension:

    I mean, I don't mind waiting, but I'm expecting it'll to go Texas next. Or Narnia.

    If you connect those points on a map is your house in the middle. I bet your house is in the middle.

    Yeah I've ordered from SirToys a few times... it's pretty much place your order, and then someday, some random package will show up. It'll probably be what you ordered too, and you'll probably have lost interest in whatever it was by that point.
    My last order came with tracking... the tracking updated twice... once when it was sent out, and on the day it was delivered.
    It was the right item in the package though, so I guess that's a bonus.

    Finally started cracking open this pile of loot.

    My Magnus is a bit loose in the waist swivel, but overall such a sturdy bot compared to CW.

    How this hasn't been adapted into RiD Prime is beyond me.
