    Except that I was told 2 weeks ago by an employee that all of the aisles in toys were getting swapped around, and everything is still in the same place its always been... Other than a new endcap nothing has changed.

    Seven Corners Target has 4 Thrusts, 2 Wreck-Gars, 6 Origin Bees, and at least 1 T-Wrecks (I say "at least" because he seems to be an unusually common figure for people to pick up and then drop in the wrong aisle, for whatever reason).

    Ollie's on VB Blvd near Military Highway has a bunch of Snapdragons for 15.99
    And a butt load of "Combat Megatron" figures for 19.99. I broke down and bought a Megatron, since he's the only Generations Selects figure that I passed on.

    They had the carded wolverine with the cowboy hat and a bunch of the old school looking Cyclops in the blue and white costume with the optic blast accessory.

    The reset is taking away the old toys and making space for the new toys and putting up their tags, then putting out the stock if they have it. If they are physically re-arranging the section that is not the reset, its just them re-arranging the section.

    Also, and don't take this the wrong way, but we (that's the royal we) usually know more about the toy section in Target/Walmart than some random employee does. Turnover is high in retail and most people get barely above minimum wage. They will usually just say whatever they think will make the customer content and get them to go away if they don't have something in stock.

    Oh I don't doubt that for the most part we are more informed than most of the employees... In my case, I didn't ask about anything specific, I just asked why the whole damned aisle the Transformers are in is basically a barren wasteland. The response was that they aren't putting stock out at that time because they were getting ready to rearrange all the aisles and its easier when the shelves are empty. He actually said "after the reset is done we have a bunch of stuff on pallets to put out", and I asked what he meant by "reset", and that's when he explained changing the aisles around. Here we are 3 weeks later and the shelves are still barren, so I do kinda doubt the "pallets in the back" line..... But we can hope can't we?

    Nothing really new at the Leesburg Target or Walmart, not the Sterling/Dulles ones. Except for Acid Thrusts as far as one could see.

    Sounds like he didn't really know what he was talking about. If there are pallets in the back, they'd be out by now. Most likely he gave you an "easy" answer as to why the section is empty, but all TF sections are more or less empty right now, so...

    Its not just the Transformers section, its nearly everything... Matter of fact if its not Jurassic Park or Masters of the Universe its not really getting restocked, and it hasn't been for a month. That's why I asked, because it looks like nothing is getting put on the shelves in more than those 2 product lines. Hopefully that changes soon

    Hilltop Target had 3 Wreck-gar's. I bought one and left 2.one is in the TF section and another is on an end cap facing electronics, behind a row of BB Voyager Thrusts, or whatever the new green one is called that's packed in with Wreck-gar.

    Forgot to post that Springfield Mall Target had a bunch of green Thrusts and that was about it.

    Short Pump Target has one Wreck Gar, and 4 thrusts still. Only wheeljack on the deluxe pegs, which surprises me, since before he was reissued he was selling for $40 on eBay.

    Also my G2 ramjet from pulse shipped. Woo!

    Skyline Target has Wreck-Gar, Thrust, Origin Bee, and the Cyberverse 4-pack. There's also a tag for the Worlds Collide pack, but none on the shelf. And 1 T-Wrecks.

    Update: Same situation at Seven Corners, except replace the Wreck-Gars with 2 of those Optimus statues.

    Update 2: WAIT, there's an endcap...? (See 4th pic.)

    Powhatan Walmart has rearrange the toy isle and looks like they are about to do a reset. Hope its not all Kingdom wave 1 or Netflix wave 3.

    A random question, has anyone been to Kings Dominion this year? Going there tomorrow and just want to know if I should be aware of anything before hand. Like if anything has changed there after last year.

    Roanoke Valley View Walmart: a few Netflix and RED figures, but nothing of note.

    If you're a GI Joe fan, though, they have about 12 of the blue retro HISS tanks. I picked one up.
