    2 SS Grimlocks at Target Vallejo this morning. Saw someone walk out with one and I grabbed the other. They also restocked 1 case of Kingdom Leaders. Nothing else though.

    Am I the only one that follows this thread even when I'm not looking for anything? Is just fun to watch other people discover things and be happy.

    Ah yes when TF Prime was out this thread was a lot of fun too, people were helping each other out left and right. I'll never forget how a fellow local helped me get an RID Vehicon when my daughter was born and I couldn't get out to hunt. Or when @SALI was down in SoCal for a tournament and brought First Edition goodies for me (remember meeting outside your hotel on a Friday night buddy?).

    Of course this thread has been awesome in all the intervening years but yeah, Prime holds a special place in my heart and memory.

    Thanks @SALI
    I got my BW Leader Megatron at Oakridge Mall Target. There’s not really anything else there that I can remember besides Cyberverse Build A Figure Megatron and Thunderhowl.

    Almaden Expressway Walmart has basically no TFs... holy. Bumblebee is already going for like $70 on Walmart.

    Seen a scalper at the target in west Sacramento he was buying all the neck tmnt guys. I asked him if he really need all of them. He pretty much side stepped the question.

    He's been hunting high and low for Cyclonus and SS86 Grimlock, with the added challenge of trying to find 2x of each because those are the ones I need too. =P So far he's found zero of both.

    I really wish I could hunt more but we only go to Target once a week these days, and it's usually the same one and late at night so my odds of finding anything these days is pretty low. If only online orders were more reliable, when they most needed to be too.
