    Runabout is very much street dated. I just went to the Sisk target and they wouldn't even get them from the back. Found them elsewhere and got blocked at the register.

    That’s what I’ve figured and my locals are pretty strict about street date too so I may just track the inventory and wait the week. It’s not like the SS86 line that I’ll be losing my crap over to get in my hands.

    Now what I really need is a SKU on Bumblebee so that I can find him somehow.

    edit: Found SKU. See attached photo.

    Don’t bother going to the Mission Valley, Convoy St, or El Cajon Targets if you’re looking for Runabout. Popfindr might say they have 8, but all of them didn’t have them out, and in the one case where 8 were in the back (the El Cajon one), the employee was actually smart for once and didn’t put them out (he said he put them back in). Walmart nearby the El Cajon Target doesn’t have the Netflix Wave 2 figures (only Netflix they did have was like 4 Hotlinks), but they have the WFC endcap and the ER Wave 2 Deluxes. I’ll be looking for Runabout a bit longer today, but I’ll likely have a hard time finding him before Tuesday after next.

    Even if you find him expect to be blocked, he's street dated.

    No but if I do I’m taking it back to 1985 to buy some Transformers, GIJoe, and Star Wars toys. I’ll also buy stock in Disney and Apple.

    Did you guys know Back to the Future is on Netflix? Maybe it was there before but I just stumbled upon it the other night while browsing for movies. Added to my watch list haha. Excited for Gigawatt.

    Anyone preorder Gigawatt from Target? If so, please post here once you get yours. I did too and am curious as to when they start showing up.

    It could also clue folks in to start hunting for those wanting to try finding him in-store.

    i had a preorder for it with target but it wasnt due to ship til second week of january. Hence why i started calling gamestops in my area. Seems like they got a little bit if stock in so id check there first by calling any stores near you.

    I just snagged these two guys at the Roseville Target off Fairway Dr. There are two Deathstrokes left...as of right now. There's also a full McFarland Toys Batman/Deathstroke case at the Rocklin Target off Sierra College Blvd...as of this edit.

    Stopped by Roseville Walmart tonight. No Bee, no Soundwave. Not many transformers really unless you don't have Netflix Megatron or Chromia yet...

    It seems I also got streetdated from purchasing Runabout. This is the first time that’s happened to me. Interesting.
