    Belleville Target has ER Soundbarrier and Smashdown for those looking. Haven't spotted the Seekers yet.

    Fairview Heights Target has a BUNCH of Grapple and Earthrise Prime if you're still looking.

    Are any of you guys willing to pick up a 2-pack of Skywarp and Thundercracker and sell it to me? I’m in central IL and not having much luck here.

    Dude. I think they are all gone already. Has anyone seen one lately?

    I’ve been watching both Target and Brickseek and I haven’t seen a sighting here in Central Illinois except when there was a case in Bloomington/Normal.

    I wonder if they just maybe haven’t hit central IL yet. I’m hoping that’s the case because my local targets don’t have the most current waves of studio series either.

    Found the brand new wave to Studio voyagers and deluxes in Villa Park. The website says they have the Jet Set but they didn’t.

    Still haven't seen one of the Seeker 2-packs by me, been mostly relying on the app letting me know when they're available and checking when I can get to the store.
    Anyone have the Brickseek link to check? Willing to drive if I have to.

    I'm here in Champaign, IL and we had: (Target)
    Seige Astrotrain x3
    Studio Series Shatter and Roadbuster
    Seige Shockwave x1
    No double pack yet (I dont even see a spot for it)
    Just in case anyone is in the area. My Target usually does pretty well with Transformers and restock fairly quickly.

    Wal-Mart here sucks and other than the Netflix figures, there was nada.

    No problem and I would not worry too much about it. I'm in the same boat myself waiting on my local Target's to get some in or get lucky online. I believe the same thing happened with the Siege Seekers and then they couldn't get rid of them.

    I know I ended up getting the Rainmakers on clearance on accidence, so I wouldn't mind that. I did miss out on the Siege Skywarp/TC set though and ouch, what a price that goes for now.

    Target.com and Brickseek both said that the Moline Target had 0 seeker 2-packs but PopFindr was saying that there was 1x there today so I stopped in around 8:30am and there were actually 3x sets. I bought one and left two behind. Guess you can't trust any of these inventory creeper sites fully.

    Speaking from experience, inventory is such a hard thing to manage simply because of how many hands are on it all at the same time. Unless you hold everyone accountable at all times for ever mistake they make, you’ll never truly see 100% accuracy.

    Not TF related, but the Bloomington Walmart on W Market St has an endcap full of G.I. Joe Classified series. They had 4 Snake Eyes, 1 Duke, 1 Scarlett, and 1 Roadblock. No Destro unfortunately.

    If you get really desperate, there's some Scrapfaces over by me, Yet (Morris IL.) I would be happy to send you one for cost plus shipping, if you find no other way...
