    Found 1 ER Starscream in Eastshore Hwy Target in Richmond. He was there with his Siege counterpart.

    This took me back to BW when I would see Transmetal and original versions of a character on the shelf at the same time.

    The only other new releases were Astrotrain hidden behind an army of Shockwaves and multiples of the micromasters.

    I nabbed Screamer and one each of the micros.

    This happened to me on Monday,I get there first thing in the morning,find the shelves are still empty except for loads of Siege Shockwave and the lady is helping the HotWheel guys find the exact cars their looking for in the back. I ask her for help and I show her the empty deluxes and voyager shelves,she scans them and says there are multiples in the back and then says she cant go and look for any for me and then tells me all about the store policy. So you'll help out the Hotwheel guys but not the TF Collectors? WTF!!! I didnt wanna stay and argue. Just one of the ins and out and downsides of being a TF Collector I suppose.

    I go back today,a very helpful gentlemen in Electronics comes up to me and I let him know what Im looking for,he scans the still empty shelves and goes in the back and grabs a full case of ER deluxes.I grab what I wanted and we put the rest on the shelves,sadly no more ER Voyagers or Leaders,so looks like I missed them.

    AV Jess Ranch Target- All 4 ER Deluxes and too many to count Siege Shockwaves.
    Hesperia Target- Plenty of Siege Wave 5 and too many to count Siege Shockwaves.

    Got an employee to bring out some Earthrise Voyagers at the Birdcage Target in Citrus Heights.

    Snagged their last Starscream.

    They said that they didn't have anything else for Earthrise in the back.

    This was about a week or two ago, but I saw Ironworks and bought the only hoist I saw at the Broadway Target, and I saw Grapple at the Sports Arena Target.

    Sacramento: Roseville North Walmart (Pleasant Grove) has 2 G1 Astrotrain, something like 4 or 5 Soundwaves, and a bunch of his cassettes. Siege leftovers with one Spinister, 2 Crosshairs and one Apeface.

    I've been looking for Siege Rung for quite some time now and had no luck. Is it safe to say that if I haven't found it by now that I should just succumb to overpaying online?

    Woodland Wal-mart has a Siege Apeface. Woodland Target has about seven Earthrise Micromaster sets. The Super Walmart near Dixon had nothing.

    Lake Washington Target in West Sacramento has two Earthrise Grapples. And one each of Earthrise Optimus Prime, Astrotrain, and Starscream. They also had a couple of WFC Siege Starscream figures. So make sure you buy the right one. :)

    I'm pretty sure Rung is getting reissued in Earthrise for wave 2. Not 100% sure though.

    I can't believe I actually scored an Earthrise Astrotrain today at the Westfield (Fox Hills) mall Target in Culver City. It was the only non-micromaster on the shelf. Up until now, I've had no luck at all finding Earthrise in LA.

    Hopefully next week’s sale gets rid of some shelf warmers.

    God I hope so because he was out for maybe a week and that week was the one before Christmas, AND I'm pretty sure there was very limited stock... lol
