    Bloomington Target had Quintesson, ER Megs, SS Soundwave and Topspin
    Edina Target had 2 Runamucks and a Trailbreaker. Grabbed Trailbreaker and Runamuck, left the other. Many ER Megs and Doublecrossers too.

    Props to @T-Hybrid for grabbing SS Cliffjumper for me. Gotta say, he's a lot more different than Bee than I thought he'd be. Too bad his head doesn't quite fit on his neck.

    Also, Runamuck proves the whole 'there's only so many ways you can transform a car' statement pretty flimsy. He's pretty unique. Excited for Runabout!

    FYI: Overload appears to have been fixed at Target and rings up as $30.

    On that note, there's one at AV Target on Pilot.

    My walgreens order arrived today, and since it looks like Rodimus Pie got one in the meantime, I have a Bluestreak for whoever wants him

    Shakopee Target didn't have anything interesting.
    Shakopee Walmart had a full set of ER Wave 2 deluxes, Many ER Leader Primes, many Netflix wave 1 voyagers, many G1 Blasters, and many overloads.

    For anyone who hasn't bit yet, Amazon has Lynx at $73.

    Price match at Target plus the Circle 25% off one toy coupon and Red Card ended up around $52.

    Not too shabby since there's still stock all over the TC today.

    Just throwing this out there I got the Coneheads set from Amazon and the box is in good shape. I just want the figures and I don't have the space to keep boxes so if anyone here got a messed up box and wants a clean one let me know.

    So I was digging in my box of TF parts the other night, and came across a renderform rifle that I want to use for ER Optimus since the Centurion one is so massive

    My question is how do I remove the purple? I've tried rubbing alchohol but it didn't seem to work

    You might be better off just hitting it with some rattle can flat black, and then give it a gloss coat.

    Edina Target has 1 Sunstreaker and a whole bunch of Snapdragons and ER Megs. A few Sky Lynx and MP Ratchets too.

    I grabbed the PCP vs Barricade set. Likely only want the Barricade as I already have 2x PCP, so let me know if anyone wants to split it.

    Nothing at Eagan Target of value. Though my son in his excitement let slip which robot he picked out for my birthday present.

    ServO is right, that purple is the actual plastic, since that would have been from a testshot of the mold with what ever colors Venksta had available at the time.

    So my Overload from Target got pushed back to 11.11 now (LAWL) but the universe rewarded my patience by also letting me know my Fasttrack from that same day of preordering has shipped (meaning it'll get here before the original 11.4 ship date)

    At this point I'm keeping that Overload out of morbid curiosity. Want to see if it or God Neptune gets here first.
