    Of COURSE they hit on a day I have to work -_-
    Now the closest store that even shows "limited" is half an hour each way :mad: 
    Someone clean out Batavia and remove the road-trip temptation :D

    Call ahead & see if they’ll hold one for you at guest service. Webster & Victor show 1 each on PopFindr

    I stopped by the Chili Target and a worker told me the ones they had sold in '2 minutes of opening'. While I can see them selling, the 2 minutes of opening seems strange. Unless a person were sprinting, it would take almost 2 minutes to get to the toy section, let alone making the return trip to the registers. This of course means they didn't spend a second looking around. So maybe it was a worker that bought them.

    Agreed. I found it odd earlier in the week when stock was listed at 6:00 before stores opening & then down to 1 by 6:30! I still don’t think they’re allowing online/store pick up for these here in NY

    So at Greece, they are either in the back waiting for the toy guy to unpack, sold out already, not arrived yet, or come in an assortment pack with other figures so they only got one---depending in who you talk to. No one would go look in back. Just gonna have to wait. If ya pop down there and they have them on the end cap, I'd appreciate a pick up. Live in Brockport and will have my kids today so cant run back later.

    The Target in Elmurst had some in supply yesterday, but looks like they're sold out. I'd check in daily to check for any changes.

    It is up to you but this tends to happen with all exclusives. Rare the first month or so then easy to find. I can't remember a Target Transformers in-store exclusive that never became easy to find eventually.

    I was able to get another Seeker set at 10:07AM. I kept hitting the ADD TO CART button on the Save It For Later portion in the app until it let me checkout. Site to store. By “another Seeker set” I mean the one I purchased in store on Friday is defective. Upon removing Thundercracker I noticed a huge crack in his right shoulder. Doesn’t really affect transformation, but poseablity puts stress on it. For $60 I expect better.

    Out of curiosity, has anyone gotten a set at Target when the website stock said Not in stock or something like that?

    Curious if it's worth driving around even though none of the Targets around me have them in stock on the website.
