    Still lots of wave 2 siege deluxes at greenbrier Wal-Mart in Blono. One leader ss Megs (was hoping to get a jetfire) and I got the last SS rampage (was hoping for a BB prime too)

    One ss rampage left at meijer next to that Wal-Mart

    Well... first off, yes they won’t be able to sell them until the 21st. The only problem is that Target isn’t open on 21st... because the 21st is Easter. So technically you won’t be able get them until the 22nd. Second, I wouldn’t keep your hopes up even then because the second these things go on sale, they will likely be sold out (especially Zedd). This is more than likely because people are starting to become very paranoid about the LC figures being in stock, which in turn is the part of the main reason why Zedd (and eventually Tommy) sold out so quickly pretty much everywhere, which in turn is what is urging people to list Zedd on places like Toywiz for so high (though Toywiz is pretty much scum when it comes to prices, so that’s not surprising). The same exact thing happened to pretty much everything out of this years Studio Series line up on Hasbro Pulse. So, at this point, it’d probably be best to just wait until the hype dies down to get them, because like I said, chances are going to be that a lot of the stuff I assume you’re looking for (Zedd and Tommy) are going to be extremely hard to find due to people freaking out about availablity on things that haven’t even come out yet.

    You shouldn’t have any issue finding him. He has had the most figures hanging on the pegs at every store I have found them. Zedd is the only one who is literally one per case. The main rangers are all multiples

    I want Krueger too. The only one I’m not impressed by is the Dino Charge Red Ranger, though that’s only because I’m not a fan of the Dino Charge Ranger suits.
    Which Target stores are you finding them at?

    2DD9BFCE-327D-4E1D-9593-A323294A4519.jpeg Also, should probably mention that Target in Bloomington has a returned SS 38 in the clearance section despite not being marked down. Everything appears to be there. Should still be there if anyone wants him.

    Rosemont Target's Studio Series TF section is a post-apocalyptic wasteland. A couple Cogman, a couple Grimlock, Blackout, ROTF Starscream, that's it.

    They're clearing out that stuff with the 25% Cartwheel coupon this week, then the newer stuff comes out later. It's rigged! :mad:

    Actually yes. There’s a Bonecrusher, a couple BD Megs, 32 Prime, and a Jetfire.

    Yes, found Shockwave and Slipstream at HIP Target. This Target TF deal with coupon and cartwheel has been awesome this week! Have been able to get all my Seige and SS leaders, voyagers, etc. for 50% off.

    Long shot, but I’m looking for a SS DOTM Ratchet. I decided late in the game to get the core cast of characters.

    I would suggest calling Quake Collectables. You never know. Otherwise Hasbro pulse. Last time I saw one was a busted up one at target in Schaumburg.

    Also, fresh wave 2 DLX siege and Scrapmetal SS wave at Bloomingdale Walmart.

    Hey did you guys know we have a full fledged mod in this thread? I didn’t! Mostly because they don’t have any indication on their profile. Hmmmmm

    I learned that about 2 weeks ago when I posted my sales stuff up. Apparently that’s a no-go.

    I just called Target to see if they had any Power Rangers Lightning Collection stuff come in, and the person I talked to told me that the street date of April 21 was changed to May 1st. I assume this is because the original street date was on a holiday, however that is purely speculation on my part as the person I talked to didn’t give me a reason (nor did I ask for one). So for anyone who is planning on going to Target today in hopes of finding the LC stuff, you may want to reconsider as you won’t be finding them until next week.

    Edit: also FYI, every Target I called said the same thing (Schaumburg, Peoria, east Peoria, Bloomington, Champaign, etc.), which is telling me that this is a company wide thing and not just certain individual Targets.

    I bought a Shadow Ranger at the Addison Target on Saturday. I was also getting an Overwatch figure which wasn't street-dated, so the cashier just shrugged and scanned the Overwatch figure twice. Then I went to Elston and saw a full peg of the Lightning Collection, brought three up to the registers and they refused to sell them. It was barely a conversation, just took them away and I wandered out of the store empty-handed.

    If they're on the peg, you really should sell them. I can understand keeping them in back and not pulling them for customers, but if they're out, then come on, it's not like they're Harry Potter books.

    RIP Reflector Prime, we hardly knew ye.

    Let's not go sucking the fun out of local people getting to know each other on this board, that's one way to kill activity in this thread. Sure rules might be rules, but sometimes the enforcer needs to question if it's necessary for the greater good or not. Sticklers will be sticklers though...
