    I feel your pain haha... I went to 6 different Targets the past two days and came away with nothing. I did see a beat up box of Earthrise Astrotrain but I have no interest in that one. Oh well. Sale ends tomorrow so hopefully a couple Targets will restock in time, but I get the feeling that most stores are only getting restocks of the leftovers to hopefully sell during this B1G1 50% off sale. I just find it really silly since Shockwave was $30 at Target for months last year, so I don't see how this current sale will really entice people.

    Hit a few Targets today on the ER Starscream hunt. Target on Park/75 has a ton of Voyagers, but nothing ER, even with what they have in the back. They do have four or five Smashdowns though, I picked one up along with the lone Soundbarrier they had out. They also had the ER Micromasters, but no Deluxes.

    McDermott/75 had a bunch of Voyagers too, according to Popfindr, but they only had a lone Grapple out that I picked up. They also had an Astrotrain, and if you're into SW, they had the Lego Mandalorian Battle Pack and a case of the Mandalorian TVC wave out. I picked up one of the Mando figs as well and left behind one more, a pair of Stormtroopers and a pair of Cara Dunes.

    Custer/121 only had two Siege Thundercrackers, but another single Soundbarrier that I also bought.

    Has anyone seen anymore Rainmakers sets around the Austin area? Or is it safe to say they're gone for good?

    Target on 249 and Jones restocked on some Earthrise figures. They had 2 each of Grapple and Starscream. I bought 1 of each so there should be 1 more of each left. Call their electronics department and ask to save yourself a trip, really nice workers there.

    Picked up grapple and sound barrier at the target in Georgetown in wolf ranch. Odd thing happened though I scanned Sound barrier first and it triggered the by one get one 50% on grapple. Didn’t realize it till I was out the door. It was their only grapple too. They had plenty of sound barriers though.

    Update: Earthrise spotted in San Antonio at the rim target. According to my friend who actually went and told me, they had 2 ironworks, one hoist, one cliff jumper, and a wheeljack. He talked to one of the employees and they said they just got them in today, they also had some of the minis if anyone is interested. This is the first spotting I've seen of earthrise in San Antonio I'll probably hold off on getting most of the deluxes for now, right now I'm mostly on the hunt of Starscream or Optimus Prime.

    1x ER Optimus and 1x Astrotrain spotted at Walmart in Brownsville Alton Gloor. Picked up the single case of Star Wars VC Mando, Cara Dune, Rem ST and Clone at Brownsville Target so they are out there for those SW collectors. Target also had ER Targetmaster wave in abundance.

    Your sightings are not helpful without mentioning where you saw them.
