    Stopped by my local Target and didn't see any, but there was a spot on the shelf for one. So either it's been sold out already or they haven't stocked it yet.

    Likely the latter, seen a few Targets with the tags out for a couple weeks now.

    That's what I'm guessing. I'll check back every once in a while. I always enjoy hunting in stores verses buying online :)

    Heads up, both units I saw this past Monday had some damage to 1 side/corners of the box. Guess these might be shipped in shallow cases.

    Check here by store:
    Transformers Movie Masterpiece 1

    If it says “only 1 left” there may actually be 2, I verified this myself on Monday night. Popfindr tender to be more accurate for this but I also found that it didn’t reflect a sold item 10 minutes after purchase, not sure long it takes to show the updated inventory count.

    Also if it hasn’t made it to your local stores yet, the locations will show “not sold at this store” at the Target.com page.

    All the ones I've seen so far in stores don't have that security tag attached. That's the most expensive TF I've seen in Target in a while. None of the Targets here carried Scorponok although have seen them at local comic shops.

    Spider wraps are typically on items that are: easily openable/stealable | or items that are just high shrink in general.
    At least that’s how it worked at Wally World. You could easily hide this box in a dog bed at self checkout and just scan that instead.

    For some reason I thought the MPM was going to be smaller than the leader. Save for some proportions, they're exactly the same size. Pleasantly surprised at this big boi

    I went to my target earlier today and they had 2! I feel silly for worrying that I wouldn't be able to snag one

    Target's own inventory is only updated every morning, if I remember correctly. Maybe some other stuff triggers it, but when employees scan a thing and say "Story X has Y units..." they mention that the count is only accurate as of this morning.
