    To hell with retail; Target.com had her in stock with free shipping this week, and she’s a very excellent consolation prize after having gotten completely rolled on every single pre-order announcement that’s come through...

    Multiple Snapdragons at Winter Garden Target, on the "back" endcap. Boxes are a little crushed, though.

    One target i visited (Birdroad in Miami) had a scanner where you can type in the DCPI, i typed in the one for the seeker two pack and the price came up at $41.98 which was confusing and upsetting considering how many people are trying to get this damn set.

    Just picked up the lone Snapdragon at the Port Orange Target. Nothing else new there. WFC Deluxes are on sale. I think they were $16-$17.

    Apparently Palm Harbor Target has Snapdragon but was told they were pulled off the shelves due the street date issue. Apparently waiting for instructions up the chain on what to do haha

    I apologize for spamming this but can anyone please assist me with snagging Snapdragon? Please? I just got Scorponok and still have my TR Decepticon Headmasters and Siege Apeface and I'd just like to complete The Decepticon Headmasters so i can take a break lol.

    He just came out, he's going to be everywhere soon enough. No need to panic

    That's odd, I had no issue buying him at my Target.

    I only panic cause Wesley Chapel is absolutely terrible with distribution. Fortunately I found him in stock online for retail.

    Yeah he’ll be plentiful soon. I had someone helping me with a bookshelf already and figured I would ask them when they expected the new stuff, and that’s what they told me in regards to Snapdragon. It is the 9/1 date. Impression I got is they know it’s ridiculous but have to get the system updated with approval from above. To paraphrase “ we’re waiting for them to tell us what to do as we just have them sitting in the back”.

    That's interesting. Siege Springer had an issue like this as did Doubledealer. When I called Bruce B Downs Target they said if it doesn't ring up just take it to guest services. I don't get why they get the figures and put them out yet they can't sell them. Doesn't make sense to me.

    I also just found 1 Sky Lynx right now in Fort Myers. If you need the location, PM me.

    Target has all deluxe Siege, Earthrise, and Studio Series on sale this week for $16.99 ea.

    If we didn't increase the sales tax in my area, I'd probably be jumping to snag Scorponok and Sky Lynx in stores. But that's an extra $20 in sales tax for the two when I can get them online. Thanks Duval, you provided me a financial disincentive to support brick and mortar. LOL!

    Poor Grapple. He's such a great fig but this is one of the worst shelfwarmings I've seen in years. I think they made a few too many. Still though, where the hell's the Inferno reveal?

    I'm still waiting on the Blaster reveal. C'mon we need that Soundwave retooled for his Autobot counterpart.

    It is because the people who put them out aren't checking their mydevice for street dates. They aren't supposed to put that stuff out until then. It just so happens majority of the employees don't pay attention and simply push out all the product they get from the truck that day because they're told to. That stuff is meant to be backstocked.

    Homestead Walmart has 2 G1 Astrotrains at $25. The price on the shelf doesn’t reflect it. There’s a 3rd, empty box, left behind by some thief.

    Clearwater Super Target has Snapdragon out. Had like 3 left on the end cap. ( the aisle is the kingdom of the Grapples). No issues scanning and purchasing him.
