    I just managed to buy Springer from the Southpoint Target. I found one at Crossroads a few days go and it scanned on the price checker without giving me a street date but when I tried to check out at the register ,it had the street date and I couldn't buy it. For some reason the one at Southpoint had this barcode sticker over it which wouldn't read on the price checker but the cashier scanned it just fine with no issues.

    Found Springer at the Porters Neck Wallyworld yesterday evening. Such a GLORIOUS figure, straight out of the '86 movie.

    Found a Springer at the Winston-Salem Target. However, when I went to purchase, I got shot down because of the street date. Girl told me she couldn't sell it and promptly went over and started scolding someone for it being on the shelf. I noticed the street date that popped up said 7/28.

    The trick I’ve seen people do is grab another voyager, scan it, then put springer in the bag at self checkout.

    Saw several Siege Starscreams on the shelves at Southpoint Target. They either have Springer in the back or it's already been sold.

    How? It's paying the price point for a figure that won't scan. I mean not to get into a debate about ethics, but it's not a movie toy that is waiting for a movie release or anything. The street date on this one is ridiculous.

    At Target, as long as the DPCIs are the same, it shouldn't matter, IMHO. Now, it's different at Walmart.

    My buddy that works at Target has said that there is no actual street date on the box for Springer, there is an issue with the upc.

    It's not on the box. The DB comes up with a 7/28 street date when the item gets scanned. The fix is to replace the UPC with that of another Voyager figure in the same line. Only at Target since they all have the same DPCIs. Would not necessarily work at Walmart.


    BTW, Target online listing shows July 28th release - Transformers Toys Generations War for Cybertron Voyager WFC-S38 Autobot Springer

    My first sightings post since my return to North Carolina:

    Took a shot on some brickseek information(which is always kind of sketchy), and came upon two cases of the refraktor wave at walmart kannapolis this evening. I picked up one each of brunt and refraktor but left everything else.
