    You all need to be more specific when it comes to where you find stuff. "Target on Hampden" could mean one of two targets, that are several miles apart.

    At any rate, went to both of them, the Belmar (Wads & Alameda) Target, the 104th & US 36 Target, the WalMart on 1st and Wads and found abso-friggin-lutely nothing of anything I want. Especially pissed at Target over the 104th & US 36 Target because I drove from the south end of town up to there because they said Sky Lynx was in stock, only to spend 20 minutes looking in EVERY aisle of the toy department, coming up empty. One of their locator kiosks said there were 2 on hand and 0 in the back. Sure, looks like someone beat me to one, but FFS the technology exists to have a decently up to date inventory system.

    Also pissed at Target's site because it said there was limited stock of Skorponok at the Colorado Mills Target, and when I get there they can't find any.

    I'm done driving around, wasting gas and time - I'm just going to pile of loot a pile big enough for free shipping from TF Source and save my self a LOT of rising blood pressure.

    Forgot to mention on Monday that the GameStop by the 10th and 47th Walmart in Greeley had a full set of classic Voltron lions from the Legendary Defender line.

    2 Skylinx, 2 ER Optimus, 1 Astrotrain, some ER and Siege deluxes available at Target @ Bowles (Southwest Plaza).

    We noticed the tag price for movie Starscrem masterpiece. $149.99 I believe. However, none were available.

    LOL! This situation happened to me with Siege Omega Supreme. Except he was on the bottom shelf of one of the endcaps, facing me exactly edge-on. Something just made me look down. It was like spotting a unicorn.

    Just picked up Snapdragon at Walmart at Bowles and C470. Left 5... yes 5 Snapdragons!!!

    They put them on the lower shelf. A couple of Starscreams are also there.

    By the way, I am looking for the MOTU Origins figures. Especially Prince Adam, Man-e-faces and Battle Cat. If you guys see them, pls let me know.

    I've been hunting for Sky Lynx here north of Denver and just no luck at all. I really want him but just cant bring myself to make that trek south just find him gone when I got there.
    Wondering if these stores up here are even bothering to order the new stuff.

    Yeah, we seem to get shafted a lot. We'll get them, but months later.

    On another note, last friday (7/24) the Longmont Target had an endcap with a decent selection of stuff - multiple ER Primes, bunch of Rungs, etc. Some shelf/peg warmers as well. Stopped by the following monday, the Earthrise sign was still up, but everything was gone and replaced by random stuff. I have a hard time believing that everything got sold, unless scalpers grabbed it all, but no one seems to know what happened to it all. Any one have any idea what might have happened? I'm just curious, or wondering if anyone else noticed the same thing. Maybe I'm just hallucinating?

    I was in the Bowles/Wads/C-470 area on some other business this morning, and there's only 1 Snapdragon left at that WalMart - I grabbed one.

    Pretty typical of a triple changer, especially those that have an animal form and a vehicle/jet form - Jet is better than the stunted dinosaur, but I bought it mostly for nostalgia's sake so I'm happy.

    The Skylinxes that were mentioned being at the SW Plaza Mall Target were gone, but I'm not terribly surprised at that since that was a sighting yesterday and only two of them.

    If anyone is looking into that line of Super Mario legos that released yesterday (well, the main and required pack did, I've seen the expansion packs, blind bags and outfits for the past week in my local Sheridan Target), it seems to be rather hit or miss as to who has some. The Sheridan Target had LOTS as of yesterday, this morning the SWP Target had jack crap. And that Walmart at C-470 and Bowles had NOTHING for it.

    I picked up the main set, the two $20 expansions and a "blind bag" yesterday and my almost 4 year old son can't stop playing with it. He wants the $100, 1000+ piece Bowser castle as a birthday present.

    At least at the Sheridan, CO Target, the TF endcap was replaced by the Super Mario Lego set(s) endcap.

    Hampden/Santa Fe WalMart had nothing new (was there to pick up food), as of this morning 8/3.

    And hey, post 10,000 on the thread!
