    That’s correct. I can verify this. If you are lucky you can have somebody check stock and pull it from the back if they have a “location” in the stock room. Many times I have seen with these toy resets that come around, the products are held back on pallets and are flagged in the system as “transition”. This is bad because the clerk has no physical location to go to, nor are they going to sift through a ton of boxes on a pallet just to get what you want. In those cases, you’ll just have to wait for on or after the reset date. Don’t hold your breath, as things get busy and the reset isn’t complete on 07/28.

    I’ve seen the box, and there is no street date so to speak. Just a date sticker that Target would like to have these products on the shelf by.

    This is all too convenient with the 07/28 sell by date we have seen with Galaxy Optimus and Springer that have been giving us problems recently especially when they have been selling Galaxy Prime for almost 2 months now before this stoppage happening 1.5 months ago.

    Surprised this didn’t happen with the 3 pack seeekers with not being able to sell it until a specific date.

    I have learned at least for the Rainmakers set that Brickseek low stock usually means 2 or less and may or may not be on the shelf. Out of stock don’t waste your time. However I’ve also seen the information to be inaccurate as well and the only semi-accurate count unless inventory is messed up is the Target Team Member using their handheld device to give you the information.

    Sacramento Target near 65th has the battle masters Slamdown and Caliburst. Downtown Target has the Action masters Blackjack & Hyperdrive.

    However ,Downtown also has Bumblebee Movie Soundwave (The recolored TR version) on clearance for $25. I grabbed one and there is one left.

    Got the last 3 pack Seeker at Carson Target off of Sepulveda just now. Tried the Redondo Beach one but it only had 2 on hand with no backroom location. Most likely on a pallet waiting to be set. When the guy I asked looked up on his zebra for other stores that might have it, Carson popped up with the one I eventually got. I called prior someone at the Irvine store off of Jamboree and the Irvine Spectrum Target and they both said they should be getting theirs in on the 24th, so next Wednesday.

    Whelp. Glad you got it but I'm annoyed because that's right in my area. So close.

    EDIT: Wow, I just solved a completely unrelated problem by just being annoyed on missing out on yet another seeker set. Now I'm in a great mood. I don't how I did that but woo-hoo! Will still attempt to try and find these guys tomorrow.

    The thing is I was not expecting Carson to have any according to Brickseek and I would have not known about it without the team member at Redondo Beach doing the store search. When I got to Carson, I thought it was going to be located in the backroom but it was literally thrown in with the other Transformers on the salesfloor. Both Redondo Beach and Carson toy sections look like they got blown up.

    Armed with the knowledge Galaxius84 provided, I returned to the North Hollywood Target only to have them tell me they sold all the Seekers they had. Undeterred, I trekked over to the Van Nuys Target on Sepulveda and picked up their last one.

    That sounds about right. Those toy sections get annihilated over the weekend.

    Edit: All the Targets around me now have them... in the back... somewhere... So chances are they'll be out randomly or by next Sunday.

    Still looking. May have a lead on one or two, but boy this sure is a crapshoot. Hopefully by next month the three-pack will be relatively easy to find.

    I'm hoping so. I hope Target doesn't do just one run of them and that's it.

    Yeah, at the same Target I mentioned above where I found Thor.

    Edit: Been calling around Targets and pretty much Brickseek is inaccurate at this point (worked the first time though!). Everyone said next week. Maybe.
