    So I had to go to Sterling this morning for work and stopped at Target found Baroness they had 3 but all were purchased. I bought one and another dude there with me bought the other two. They had Overload but it would not let me purchase it. Lady said there was no price so she couldn’t sell it. I still am in the market if anyone finds an extra Overload and Beachhead for Joes. Still, the Baroness score was pretty awesome.

    Dude only Neeral gets lucky with that register lock shenanigans, you should know that by now. That said, I definitely need a Leadfoot and Overload.

    I had the same thing but if they type in the dcpi it rings up tra voy for $29.99. If that didn’t work try to buy both scavenger and overload together. then they will let you do that possibly. Which worked for me

    Most of the time when something wont ring out, the employee takes it away from me and stashes it somewhere employees only.

    How.... how do you have these powers. I always go out of my way to be super nice to employees - the managers at Fair Lakes Target have even commented on it several times. But I still always get owned by street dates and mysteriously missing merch....

    With Overload I just give them the DCPI number off the website. I checked and Fair Lakes has 3.

    Assuming my Overlod checks out, I have one extra for a Nova person.

    With most of the larger Transformers figures both by the space they take on the shelf and also by price tag, they tend to be a once and done; they get an single shipment to the store and that is it. On rare occasions a store may get a second shipment but it is relatively uncommon. Having Scorponok on the shelves (both being large and higher priced) really surprised me as the box occupied four to five what they call retail squares. So the box occupied the same space as 4 - 5 smaller items. In retail it is all about how many individual sellable items they can place in a given run of shelving. Target was most likely taking a chance during this time of reduced product flow (aka overseas shipping issues due to COVID) to place a larger item on the run to see how well it sells (as far as I could tell they flew of the shelves) due to not being able to get product that would normally occupy that space. Since they sold it may prompt Target to place larger figures on the run in the future. Walmart on the other hand places larger items much more frequently in their toy department so Target may be trying to compete in that way.

    I never saw a Scorp or Skylynx. I’m not even sure I saw tags for them.
