    Update for all:
    So I went to another Target to exchange my Earthrise Strascream for one properly painted. They scanned it and said they have two more units in the back. (The voyagers on the floor were all Seige) They came out the back with Seige Megatron and said thats what came up after scanning my Strarscream I had in hand. Dont waste your time with DCPIs. They are all the same as Seige.

    Thanks, it works for me, especially being on a budget. There's some current Siege stuff from sales, and TR and POTP stuff that I've found on clearance.

    FYI: Wheeljack’s hips were glued solid. He just got out of surgery. What’s up with QC?

    Yup, I learned this quick when I started working for Target. The system goes by price point and just lumps all of them into a single dpci even if you type the correct one in. The best thing to do when you are there and asking them to pull up their my device and check a dpci for you is to find out when the last shipment came in, it shows them on the device. If it was months ago then dont bother it is old siege stuff. Anything from this year is a good bet it is either more of wave 5 siege or earthrise, never hurts to ask and have them check backstock locations if there is any. I do it all the time, so dont hesitate to ask, it's all about the guest interaction. My store hasn't gotten anything new in unfortunately or I would let y'all know. Probably gonna happen on a day I'm not there lol.

    Thanks. Im going to try asking them that. I bet some of these guys get sick of collectors lol. I doubt parents are walking in with DCPI numbers because their 7 year old kid wants the latest TF figures. Sometimes I even wonder if kids are the "front" and 75% of all TF sales are adult collectors and scalpers...

    Can't speak to some of them but most employees are pretty cool about it, guests come first and foremost before anything else. I try to have a screenshot or image pulled up of what the figure I'm looking for looks like inside the packaging and show them if they are going to the back to check locations for me. I am avoiding Daytona this week when I'm not on schedule due to the crazy amount of traffic from the races. Ugh.

    0F8595E3-5545-4A6E-A803-7F63B55D7440.jpeg Found at Waterford Lakes. No voyagers or deluxes (in the front or back). Are these two a case? The Optimus looks wonky (his chest isn’t tabbed in all the way), but there were no others and I didn’t want to chance it.

    Pretty sure it is 2 to a case. Got my prime in from toy dojo (curse you target) and from the picture it looks to be the same as on mine. Once took it out of the box chest was super tight ( not a bad thing), but possibly just needs to be tabbed back in.

    trailer looks cheap as hell though. Gave it to SS38 for now.

    Apologies for the off-topic post, but since I know a lot of Orlando people frequent this part of the boards, I figure it's okay to post this just to get more eyeballs on it:
