I also spent 11 years working at target as a lead for both electronics and toys/sports. Many times we were understaffed, which means product that we do get is sometimes slow to get put out, or there aren't enough people to scan outs. So floor counts are often inaccurate. So there's a variety of issues at play. Many times I'd scan an empty peg or shelf and the system says we should have a bunch in stock so either the system is slow that day at updating counts or there's a case somewhere in the back unlocated. We faced that issue quite frequently especially with street dated product. I did the best I could to limit when that happened, but you have a lot of other employees working in both the backroom and on the floor. Not everyone knows what they're doing or gives a crap.

 

4 ss 86 Grimlocks at meijer and 1 at target in Bloomington-Normal

 

Dude, that's why. There's like 10x the collectors

 

The stores are getting restocked. You're just missing the product. It's there for 1 or 2 days before one of the 1000 people that walk through the toy aisle during that time purchase it.

 

Lombard Target has about 10 SS Grimlocks as of last night!

 

Went from must have to WTF

 

If anyone comes across the wave 3 Netflix deluxes hit me up. I’m desperate to find a set and will pay or have plenty of good stuff for trade.

 

Walmart Bloomingdale

 

One lone inferno at Walmart at golf mill. No sign of any exclusives. Target had 4 leader grimlocks. Surprisingly this thing seems to be shelf warming.

 

Technically Indiana, but the Target just over the border in Munster Indianna had seven 86 Grimlocks. Not much else.

 

2 Kingdom Arcees at Elston Target and nothing else. Hard to say if somebody bought the rest of wave 2 already or if those just happen to be the only ones the stockers put on the pegs, because there's plenty of wave 1 guys there already! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Moline target has wave 2 kingdom deluxes.

Moline walmart has wave 3 Netflix deluxes.

 

Ottawa walmart has a bunch of the RED figures, including arcee cheetor, megs and Soundwave. A core optimus, a dinobot, 2 Grimlocks, netflix deluxes cheetor and rust zombie prowl guy.

 

Target in Peru has Kingdom Arcee. The walmart has 5 dinobots and 5 infernos, the older RED figures (prime megs soundwave) rattrap, core prime, some of the various fossilizers which I am harly paying any attention to..

 

Around what time does target typically restock around here?

 

It depends on the store, some still have an overnight team some don't. But typically by 9 or 10am the majority of the truck is pushed.

 

Walmart in olympia Fields had several Cheetor and Arcee RED figures.

Still now wave 3 unless I missed them.

 

Target Kankakee has 3 Scourges and 5 Hot Rods. Not much else.

 

Unicron arrives Friday!!!

 

Found Beast Megs and EM Magnus at the Melrose Park Target. Took the Megs. Left Magnus.
