    Scored the BB Starscream and Core RatTrap at Great Hills Austin Target yesterday.
    Still plenty of new Core Megatron, Prime and RatTrap and Starscream around.
    Something like 10 86 Grimlocks too.
    Target has a $10 off $50 deal right now so good time to check stuff out

    It was nice to see a freshly stocked area and felt super lucky to see that Starscream in the wild, felt like the good ‘ol hunting days.

    Picked up 1 of 2 SS BB Starscreams at the Round Rock Target about 45 minutes ago. There was also a Hot Rod and the new Core class Megatron and Starscreams. SS Voyagers are $26.99 right now and bought enough other toys too use the $25 off $100 making Starscream like $20.

    Ah, how interesting. From Hasbro's view I guess it's the most profitable/easiest way to make money even if behemoths like Walmart have a lot of bargaining power. Cool. I've been super curious about these things for a long time so thanks for answering; I appreciate the discussion.

    ALSO I don't have a car so if anybody comes across a Netflix Soundwave let me know and let's make a deal please lol my-life-is-falling-apart-please-help

    There a lot of little things that individually are simple to understand but make a ball of wire when they are all tangled together. Supply and demand is ALWAYS the answer but most people do not understand Economics 101 let alone true economics. I don't understand it all either but I'm aware that I don't.

    Hmm. . .speaking of which, maybe I can find a combiner/gestalt analogy that would make it easier for some people?

    My local Target in Harlingen had 8 SS Bumblebee movie Starscreams on the shelf to my surprise. Great figure!

    I saw that you got the news credit for SS72. For future references, where does one go to post a 1st sighting and get a news credit? When I click on "news" it just sends me to the same place as "boards".

    EDIT: Start a new thread under "news and rumors"? Seems soo extreme. . .

    Wouldn't WM just put your defective returned product back on the shelf? So the next collector ends up buying the same defective product, goes return to WM and they put it back out on the shelf. Repeats over and over again?

    The Pflugerville Target had 4 SS BB Starscreams and a Hot Rod on the shelf tonight. I was shocked, because they never have anything great.

    Well, ideally Walmart wouldn’t put a defective product back on the shelf.
