    Got Impactor at Sunnyvale Target, 1 more on the peg. Also saw 1 Impactor at Santa Clara Target.
    No Mirage or Barricade there or Cupertino or Mountain View :( 
    Plenty of Rainmakers, Micromaster 10 packs and Off Road patrols though. Also lots of Lionizer, Aimless & Blowpipe.

    Also bought SS44 Optimus and got the $10 off $50 coupon deal... and then ordered Omega Supreme online with the $25 off $100 coupon :)

    Sacramento Area

    Walmart Roseville on Pleasant Grove has 2 Impactors, 1 Mirage (I took one), 1 Barricade, 1 Red Alert, 1 Six Gun, 1 Hound. Starscream was on the shelf below and I think Shockwave. No more G1 Soundwaves or cassettes.

    I picked up the last Mirage and Thundercracker from the Rancho Cordova Target off Zinfandel, they still had two each of Impactor and Barricade. Also one pack of Rainmakers.

    Gave in and picked up Impactor and Thundercracker at Target today using the $10 off $50 purchase promotion. Plan to keep them in box for now until I’m sure I want them but at least if I do I will have saved some money.

    Just picked up my Soundblaster and Bluestreak from Westminster Walmart off Beach/Trask by ship to store. They have Siege Wave 4 deluxes and 1 Thundercracker. I still haven't seen studio series DOTM Leader Optimus anywhere...

    Last week I saw SS-44 at the Irvine Walmart on Von Karman. Don't know if it's still there, but just wanted to pass that along in case you wanted to check.

    Thanks. =) If I'm in that area I'll check it out but with gas prices going up around here, I rather stick to my local stores within 5 miles.

    I remember seeing a post that Walgreens may get an early shipment of Ratchet today. Has anyone found him yet?

    I grabbed one each of Mirage and Barricade from the stockroom at the Target off La Cienega in Culver City. They have the rest of the case in the back.

    Finally found a SS-44 Leader Optimus Prime at Target and it was street-dated "do not sell until 01/01" (???). They wouldn't sell it to me!

    Target at Birdcage in Citrus Heights has Siege Thundercracker, but all of their Wave 4 Deluxes are gone.

    Damn. I was hoping to find one to take advantage of their 25 off 100 deal this week but if this is the case...

    Not me. :) 

    Orangevale Walmart has a Siege Thundercracker, and Cyberverse Jetfires, and a couple of G1 Soundwaves, but not much else.

    Not sure if joking or... ? I know it came out in August technically but this is the first time I've seen one on the shelf (and I've been looking!).

    Anyway though it's true. I even tried ringing up the Leader class DOTM Megatron and it gave the same message. Somehow the SS leader class DCPI is blocked.

    I've seen him on shelves multiple times but never bought him so I don't know what's happening with that. I'm waiting for Sterling to get them in, but Amazon does have them if you're tired of looking/waiting.
