    Wauwatosa Target, on 124th and Capitol has Kingdom Voyagers and LEADERS.

    Only Prime left in Leader class, but I left both a Primal and a Cyclonus on the shelf after I grabbed mine. Happy hunting!

    Anyone in the Milwaukee area looking for Thrust there is one on hold for Chris at the Target on Kossow Rd in Waukesha.

    I've seen multiple of him at multiple Targets. I figure he'll end up at Ross or the like before long. Fortunately got mine on sale, but not quite a Ross price.

    1x Vertebreak

    left:
    2x Thrust
    1x Cyclonus

    Guys, I just recently moved closer to the Fitchburg Target - I think that should mean I get first dibs on their new stuff! ;) 

    In seriousness, thanks for all the updates, folks - I've got the Kingdom deluxes coming in from BBTS soon, so it looks like I'll be going on the hunt for the core class, voyagers + leader Megatron starting tomorrow!

    Managed to pick up a Thrust, Optimus Primal, Cyclonus, and Rattrap at the east-side Target. Left one Primal and 4-5 core class Primes.

    Fitchburg Target had a few Cheetors, as far as Kingdom goes.

    So apparently some Targets are treating the Kindom line as collectable. They had the Voyager class at the electronics desk and would only sell one at a time. I found Cyclonus in West Allis Target on National. The only other one behind the counter was Optimus Primal.

    Primal is gone, and unfortunately I wasn’t the one to buy it. They still have the Core Primes, as well as a bunch of Buzzworthy Deluxes, and a single MPM VW Bee in the Lego aisle.

    Anyone seen the new Target exclusive G.I. Joe Classified figures? Cobra Viper and Firefly are the new ones.

    Literally have NEVER seen even one of the Joe figures in person. Target exclusives or otherwise.
    Picked up a Thrust at Beloit & Moorland Target. There were 3 more.

    Got Kingdom Megatron and v2 Ectotron at Madison East Target after some stockroom shenanigans.

    Story:

    Found a Kingdom Leader Prime at Madison and asked someone if there might be any more of that assortment in the back. They said no, no toys in the back right now.

    I thought about it for another minute and it occurred to me it’s probably a new SKU, so I could check other stores in the Target app for the DPCI using Prime’s barcode, but it wouldn’t scan, so I asked someone else if they could check the store computer. That person disappeared into the back and brought out a Megatron in about 2 minutes like a fucking legend.

    This was icing on the cake of a rough day, because the real reason I was out was to replace a defective v2 Ectotron with no ladder, and I had gotten the runaround at two stores that were supposed to have stock but didn’t. The only reason I went all the way to the east side again was because I called on the phone and they said they had one they’d hold for me.

    So I never saw either of those toys on any shelf at four goddamn Targets after driving around all afternoon.

    I saw an empty shipping carton labeled for Thrusts at Target East last night on one of those banged-up red carts they use to stock the shelves, but there were no actual Thrusts to be found. Looked like it could have held two of them. Didn't ask anyone about it because I got mine a while ago, but that was weird.

    Assuming SS86 is the same DPCi as SS there are none in the Madison area. Had a team member at target check stock levels for me since popfindr doesn’t seem to work.
