    They're two to a case, so maybe they only got one case. In my experience, that has been true (each store only getting one case - at least at first).

    While my stores have a shelf tag, no stores have gotten it yet, except 2 stores that had 1 randomly, and when I called neither said it was on the shelf or in the back.

    I had gone back and forth if I was gonna get this set or jetfire. I caved when target's site had the set in stock this morning, and they already shipped.

    Ugh. My impatience is getting the best of me again. Fed-ex tracking stills says delivery is tomorrow, but it also says it's been in transit from Anaheim since 2 AM Tuesday morning. I know CA to OH is a pretty long drive, but I should have gotten an update by now.

    If I check my order on Target.com, it says expected delivery is today. It also says "Arriving Late: Originally Schedule for 8/9".

    I just want my God damned Rainmakers already. If they aren't delivered tomorrow, I'm giving Target hell. They were guaranteed to be here by tomorrow.

    Well it seems some stores in my area have gotten the rainmakers, but have been getting 1 set? But still easier that I just ordered the set online.

    They are two per case, so if they're getting one case they should have two of them. Likely they're being bought up quickly.

    Finally - I had a weird hunch, checked online, and the Target closest to my job had "limited stock". If they didn't have it on the shelf, I intended to ask a store manager about it - what does limited stock mean if there are none in stock? I went in and whaddya know - there were two. I bought one. Shockwave has finally got his groupies!

    I snagged mine this morning too. That didn't last long! It was out of stock in less than an hour. I'm glad you got yours! My order shipped and I'm all giddy :D

    Only one in stock at my local target this morning according to the website, so I ordered it for in-store pickup and I’ve got em! I didn’t see any others on the shelves.

    My wife was telling me that when she went in and asked customer service for them. The lady at customer service started to give the guy working in toys the DPCI number and he interrupted her. "Yeah I know, The Transformers."

    I'm sure they're getting very familiar with certain items, and not just Transformers.

    Anyone seen restocks of these? This thing is a myth in my area.

    Is there an online site where I can get these at a decent price?

    My set is finally out for delivery. If I had known I would have to wait this long I would have ordered ship-to-store.

    I have no idea when Fed-ex is gonna roll through, but I'll be in bed from about 8-3 today, so hopefully it's between those times. I always like waking up to a package on the porch when I'm on third shift.

    Haven't seen the set yet in person, but I keep waffling on if I want it or not. On one hand I love the mold and I love Seekers... on the other hand the repaints just feel too simple. I get that it's how they looked in the one episode they showed up in, but damn this is a good example of how sometimes it's good to deviate from the source material. Who am I kidding? If I see them I know I'll end up buying them.
