    Let us know if you see extras anywhere...I’m interested in this set. I passed on ER SS (happy with Siege) but I never picked up the Siege versions of TC and SW.

    I’ll keep posted about it. I may buy two to ensure I have no defects between either figure and return any defective ones

    Springfield Walmart (east end) earlier had the big red movie dude (Devastator limb) - Siege Chromia, Netflix Chromia and Swipe, and G1 Astrotrains. May have seen Netflix Hound, but not entirely positive.

    One Earthrise Optimus Prime at Target in Sugarcreek, and the Sugarcreek Wal-Mart has a mess of Netflix Megatron & Hotlink (back wall, not the picked-over cardboard display.)

    Oh yeah, and a SS Sentinel Prime at Meijer Kettering.

    Target in Bridgewater Falls and Miamisburg-Centerville Rd. In Dayton showing they got their case of the seekers this morning. Tri-County Target still showing 1 on hand too.

    Reminder though: Do not badger employees. Hopefully they help, because theyre likely on a skid or in the back, but they're getting a LOT of new stuff, so it might be buried. Doesnt hurt to call/ask, but dont press too hard, please.

    I can confirm Bridgewater Target has their seekers in stock- I purchased mine this morning- employee was super nice and when I politely asked her she went in the back and got one for me! no issues ringing out. Also they had both ER leaders out on the floor ready for pickup

    I just got back from Bridgewater Target and the lady stocking the toys told me that if they had them they would already be on the shelf. I showed her the listing on my phone and she told me to feel free to look on the shelf for them (which I did beforehand), so I left emptyhanded.

    I have never asked an employee to go in the back before, and all are dead said not to badger them, so I just said "Okay, thanks!" and I left the store.

    Yeah I asked a guy at Bridgewater Falls around 9:45 and he said there was “none”. I didn’t care too much since I called Florence and they set one aside for me. Also Bridgewater had a couple Series 5 8 packs

    Glad it wasn't just me! I'm not going out of my way for these though, so I guess it's either seeing them on the shelves by chance, seeing them in stock online, or just not getting them and sticking with my Siege versions, even though I do prefer the Earth jet modes...

    Speaking of Florence, the person on the phone said they got two cases in. She found one but couldn’t find the other. They had set one aside for me at Guest Service but they couldn’t find it. I went back and there were two on the shelf. I grabbed one of them (no defects!!) and there should still be one. In total there’s 5 floating around the store

    I’m a Thundercracker fanatic so I needed these lol. And I even saw on the screen there was 3 on hand that came in this morning. I didn’t pester further cause he seemed to be trying to avoid me when I started walking up to him

    I went back and gave the guy who was now there the DPCI and he went back and got it for me. With all of the bad things happening in my personal life, I'm glad to have gotten this!

    I stopped by the Dayton mall target at lunch and they didn't have the seeker 2 pack stocked. It didn't even look like they had an endcap set up for them yet. On a whim I gave an employee the DPCI number and asked if they could check the back. She brought out a 2 pack for me but didn't stock the rest, so I would assume there are 2 left. Happy hunting all!

    If I strongly suspect a location has something I want, I usually mill around the toy aisle with a puzzled look on my face (comes naturally to me...lol) until an associate asks me if I need help. The ones who approach you are typically happy to help.

    Thanks for the tip. I tried to look lost there but everyone kept walking by me. Probably just bad luck this time.

    Anyway, I also got the only Starscream they had at the same time and it had that yellow plastic speck on his helmet. It came right off with no obvious chipping or paint wear, so that worked out perfectly too. Very glad to have luck finding Transformers at retail for a change.

    I have a feeling these will not be too difficult to get ahold of. I’ll let you know if I see more. I live just a few miles from the Newport store and they don’t appear to have hit there yet.

    As soon as I saw this posting this morning I called Target of Sugarcreek and ask them to hold this. Everything seems to go to smoothly over the phone and even the girl in Toys was nice to hold this for me at Guest services. Once I got there, the item being held was completely wrong! It was the Galaxy upgrade Prime they held. I even gave the DCPI number from ER Prime to the girl and she said it changed or superseded to the old DCPI referring back to the old Siege line of figures. I saw this first hand with her hand held device. Whether ER Prime was actually there or not, she couldn't tell me.
