    Damn, I was there around noon and didn’t see any. We’re they by the TFs or another area?

    I know, right? Seems like no. Zippo. Zero. Can't believe it myself. Keep expecting a report, and every day nothing. Weird.

    Shoutout to Smokeyoreo18 for his tip on the Army Trail Walmart in Bloomingdale. Right by one of the entrances is AT LEAST 7-8 of Optimus and Soundwave apiece. Go ASAP if you can!

    I am following a conversation on FB where the guy says he spoke to a manager at his local Target about the exclusives. He claims he told the manager that Thrust is an exclusive to Target and if they could look into ordering some for the store. I hope this ends well for him because I would totally do the same thing. I mean based on the super empty TF shelves I know they’re selling. And I’m afraid they will all jump into Kingdom and skip over Earthrise Thrust.

    Well you can throw that on the top of the pile of dumbest shit I've ever heard. That's not how exclusives at stores work.

    I worked at Target for over 10 years so I can tell you that's not how it works lol. The majority of stores will receive some stock of exclusive items. Target does their toy resets next month and into February when they start to get more spring items in. Whether Thrust will be part of an endcap set or within the tf aisle we likely won't see them until next month once stores start their resets.

    My pre-order of Soundwave came in after I picked up some at Pullman Walmart. I have 2 extra to help people out, otherwise I can send back.

    Target in Highland Park had 6 Snapdragons, Leader Shockwave, Leader Astrotrain, Leader Doubledealer and 2 Ironworks. Sad...

    Just checked PopFindr and saw that they had one Thrust at the Woodfield Target on Higgins Rd. Stopped by in person and they had 4! I took one so there should be 3 Thrusts left.

    Several Thrusts at the Bedford Park Target. Popfindr only showed one in stock though.
