    Fuckin' dicks at Torrington Target. They had all Runabout wave out, but now apparently ALL Earthrise figures of ALL previous waves are street dated to 12/1. GRRRR!

    Hopefully this is just an issue with Torrington. If this is widespread then that’s a huge issue they must fix.

    Huh. This is interesting. I’ve never been cockblocked by a streetdate in my life. Like ever.

    When I tried to buy Runabout yesterday at Torrington, I also brought an Ironworks with me to self checkout. I thought I might be able to convince them it was the same type of item and the street date was a mistake. After Runabout was street dated, I showed them how Ironworks would scan without a problem. Ironworks scanned, but they still wouldn't let me get Runabout.

    Street dating toys is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of. Especially when it seems like Target is the only store that does it.

    I didn’t purchase any Earthrise Deluxe this time. I brought Wave 3 Deluxe from another store. The Target exclusive Earthrise Deluxe WFC-E41 Runabout is the one with a 12/1 street-date and a different DPCI number.

    Sunstreaker and Runamuck should not give you issues with streetdates. They’re streetdated for 11/1, which has since passed. People are having problems with Runabout.

    Thank you, was able to grab Runamok and Sunstreaker. Now to patiently wait until 12/1 to get Runabout, which my *inside source* confirms there is three cases of at Waterbury Target.
