I'm not super concerned with animation accuracy on the proportions, I'm more interested in whether the figure looks and feels "right". I didn't care for the way the arms and shoulders looked in the original photos.
Nothing at Bridgeton Target or Walmart this morning and my buddy didn't see anything at Mid-Rivers or St. Charles Targets.
Nice!!! If anyone in the Springfield area sees him, please let me know. I want Galvatron baaaaaaaaaadly!!
Interesting enough the target of Hampton should have 4 ultra Magnus left and one Galvatron. I swear this target never has anything, but this time it was different. Still looking for soundwave and the green vertebreak.
I must have missed it by mere seconds. I just got there and all there is is one Rhinox, three Ultra Magnus's. Oh well!
How are you guys finding out what’s in stock at the Hampton Target? The Target app just says “in stores” but doesn’t say which one. The only employee I’ve ever asked about toys being in stock seemed annoyed by my question (I’m also aware that she probably gets asked several times a day) so I don’t know if I can call and ask for something to be held at the counter using the DCPI or what. If there are three UM figures that don’t move it will keep any chance of finding Galvatron pretty slim. It doesn’t look like you can order one on their site either.
Well, it used to be that you could go to brickseek or Popfindr and look up the DPCI numbers. But Target started selectively turning off external visibility to certain collectible DPCIs when customers started trying to kill each other over getting a PS5 or a new XBox. It seems that Transformer DPCIs are among the ones which no longer show results. What I do is call a Target store, ask guest services if they can do a location check on a couple of DPCIs, and then give them the numbers one at a time. They should be able to see their quantity on hand, the location (floor or back room), last time they got any, next time they're supposed to get more, and you can also ask them to check on-hand quantity at other local stores. Now, yes, you aren't the only one asking for help with this, so you may get someone who is in a bad mood and doesn't feel like looking at this for you. But most times Guest Services is happy to look it up. You can also go into a Target and ask any employee who has a PDA (or I guess now it's technically an iPhone or whatever) the same thing. "Do you have time to do a location check on a DPCI for me?" Here's the page with the current DPCI's Wfc Kingdom: CORE: 087-16-8157 WFCK DLX: 087-16-5271 VOYAGER: 087-16-9183 LEADER: 087-16-6009 Just remember the rules, if you find something I am looking for, you have to give it to me. :-D Oh, and Target corporate policy says they're not supposed to hold things for customers, it's first come first serve. Sometimes you may get someone who doesn't know any better or who is nice and doesn't care about the rule, but usually you just have to get there fast and hope you beat @Doublej101 to the toy aisle.
One lonely Kingdom Magnus at Chesterfield Valley Target. A couple of Blurrs at 141 & Clayton target. Pretty bare at Brentwood Target.
Found a slightly beat up Galvatron at Arnold Target. They also had a pretty good stock of last wave Kingdom including Magnus, Warpath, Blackarachnia, Arcee, Dinobot, Inferno & core class guys, as well as SS Hot Rod.
Yeah, the key is two-fold: One be respectful and two realize ultimately its their job to help you (such is the curse of retail) so asking for help is not a bother to them. What's pissing me off is that the Voyagers are shipping 4 Ultras to 2 Galvies, thats makinjg it hard to find old crooked shoulder. I'm holding off on buying Ultra Magnus till winter when I'm sure we'll find the guy at Ross or something massive discounts.
I think I figured out your problem. If you are checking Voyagers and looking for Galvatron, you’re gonna be waiting a while...
