    went to both the Richardson Square Mall Target and the Super Target off of Custer, struck out at both tonight. Both locations are now sold out of Voyager Thrust. Dang it! Keep posting the sightings everybody!

    That stinks, Popfindr is pretty current so I’d keep an eye on that. I have Thrust on preorder but my Quintesson po from Target was cancelled after approving four delays so I wanted to hedge my bets.

    The Target at 2417 N Haskell Ave had 2 Voyager Thrusts as of opening this morning. Now they have 1 left, as I managed to grab one! My hunt for 2020 is over! A big thank you to everyone that posted about finding him and for that popfinder link!

    For anyone else looking in the Greater Austin area, if you are willing to take a small road trip, Harker Heights has 1 left, available for order and pickup as of the time of posing this.

    Popfindr reflected the change in quantity immediately after I put in my order for pickup. I figured I'd at least secure one from there in case I can't grab one a little closer. With that said, they are certainly starting to trickle into the general area... so my local store will probably have them in the next day or two.

    South irving target is a bust. Walked up to someone else in front of me asking about them. Employees said that they had four and all four already had orders on them...even though the store is showing in stock. Asked a different employee a few minutes later who said what they had was on the shelves.

    Popfindr seems to be a little off. This store showed 1. There’s 4 left after I just grabbed 1.

    because of the amount of scalping going on, i suggest keeping inventory notices to one's self. we're all looking for thrust, and we are all capable of checking inventory. lets not enable lurkers. let them do their own dirty work. i guarantee you thrust is going to be heavily sought after by scalpers.. let's be smart about it please. wait until youve obtained one for yourself to report something.. posting inventory notices is a bad idea.

    my buddy grabbed one there this morning and he said there was also another person there asking about them. According to him, when he told the lady at Target that He needed two she found only the one.

    Hey guys! Long shot here, but does anyone in the Austin area have an extra Netflix Soundwave that they’d be willing to part with or have seen them recently in the wild? I’m sure I’ll find him eventually, but it would be nice to be done with the numerous trips to various Walmart’s as he’s the last on my list. :)

    welcome back! we've got a nice tight-knit group of collectors here in the TX sightings thread. we all try and look out for another as best we can. sometimes there are debates, but in the end, id say we all get along quite well. as for my post earlier. scalping has become a major problem with the exclusives. greedy people are going around town buying up all the high-priority figures, then flipping them on Ebay for double and triple the price. putting major salt in the game of casual collecting. as we all know, thrust rounds out the conehead trio. many people went through enough struggle getting the first two from Amazon. i just dont wanna see people getting snubbed by scalpers. thats why i suggest keeping info to yourself until we all have obtained what we want.

    just food for thought, i went to my local Walmart today, and they have already restocked prime/soundwave cases. they had about 3 or 4 of each. so you may wanna keep checking for a restock at your local stores. i really hope you find one, if you stay persistent i think you will. good luck to you.

    Still Nothing at Cedar Park Target. Just a set of Clones I found in the wrong isle. I’m still hunting Thrust but am hoping my preorder eventually ships.
