    I got my Pulse Red Alert yesterday, but that’s happened to me before too. It’s usually just a one day delay, so hopefully you get yours tomorrow.

    I am as well. There was a note on my tracking that "Customer not available or business closed" which is pretty unusual. I'm in Dallas, btw.

    UPC are unique, they share the same DCPI, DCPI is what the Target app/employees use to look up items.

    Opened up my Red Alert. I don't know how I feel about him. Still kind of annoyed that all the lambo's are missing spoilers.

    If the store confirmed that they had the figure based on UPC but there was nothing there then it could be in the stockroom in the back.
    Next time
    Option 1 - have them check the back, but I've never asked by UPC before so I don't know.
    Option 2 - call the store again while you're standing in the store and asked them if they have it in stock.

    Origins Bumblebee and a couple Thrusts plus T-Wrecks and the tiny Megs + Starscream at Target off 183/Ohlen in Austin spotted earlier, there was stuff in the usual place besides wrestlers and marvel but there was this little selection at the end of a random aisle in toy section too. Happy hunting!

    There's been nothing in my area of Central Texas lately...well at least on the weekends I'm able to check. Harker Heights Walmart had 2 Huffers and a ton of kingdom Arcee figures....that's literally it. Pretty disappointing truthfully. Target, Walmart all within town never have anything, their shelves are always pretty barren.

    I'll keep an eye out in SATX. I had to go quite a distance to get an Origins BB. Not sure why they've been conspicuously absent from the general area...

    Anyone got an extra Walgreen's Red Alert? I missed him when he went up on Pulse.

    I have one but it's not worth paying the shipping cost and fees. It may take some patience but I believe it'll be easy to find at Walgreens in a bit.

    A bit late sorry, but there were some origin Bumblebee and the Studio Series that looks like Acidrain but called Thrust. Why is Bumblebee so expensive? Just add less than 5 and I can get the much bigger and beefier Thrust. My goodness...

    Oh yeah, this was Far West Target yesterday. Probably gone by now? Are people buying up Bumblebee at that price? I mean it's not $24 nice but I guess it's an adult market as far as that mold is concerned...

    origins bumblebee was selling like hotcakes a few weeks ago. at Far West Target the first batch sold out quick. but theyve since restocked a couple more cases. the ones they have now have been on the peg for a couple weeks. i got mine there, got SS Thrust there also..
