    Nothing new at Redding Walmart, but I did realize after seeing Rhinox again that they haven't had voyagers on selves in forever, last time they did was Starscreams er wave I think, so that's a good sign

    Poor Rhinox and Cyclonus. Everytime I come across them at Target or Walmart, the boxes are dented or damage. Not sure what it is about these voyager boxes

    Chico Target stopped carrying voyagers and core, it seems. New planogram doesn't have a spot for them, expanded cyberverse and DC in its' place. So frustrating! They didn't carry micromasters and battlemasters until the end of war for Cybertron trilogy, never carried Titans, never carried Jetfire or Rodimus, never carried Worlds Collide. They had a Slag once but it looked like a return, otherwise the leader spots door empty for months and if something does come in they only get one or two and you have to luck out the same day.

    Anyone know if Target gets inventory based on store square footage, past sales, manager's choice, or proximity to I-5?

    Having worked in retail merchandising before, my guess would be that it’s based on the store size and layout. Stores probably have a category based on their footprint and available space for their department. The planogram is probably set based on a standard fixture size and someone who works on their product agreements decides what gets shipped to stores based on that planogram. So it’s likely that your store has less available shelf space and qualifies as a small to mid size planogram, ruling out larger or ‘riskier’ items. I believe the margins on smaller items like Deluxes and Cyberverse are probably less risky and if there was any department head/manager input, they would elect to carry those if they had a choice rather than risk losing a margin on a larger item that’s going to shelf warm until it goes on clearance.
    Sorry.

    Picked up Cyberverse Dead End at Target Vallejo. They have a SS Sideswipe and Dracula X-over if anyone needs them. The Dracula box has a pretty significant tear on one of the corners so don't bother unless you're an opener. They also have a bunch of the McFarland 6" Riddler in the Disney Cars section if anyone is looking.

    My wife was not very subtle when she told me the Walmart in Sonora had a few Sweeps less "two" this morning. LOL

    Happened to be at Target Costa Mesa last night and the TF shelf was very well stocked, including a ton of Origins Bumblebee. I grabbed the one SS Gnaw I saw to complete my trio and take advantage of the toy coupon available this week.

    Saw this at La Cienega / LA Target. Nothing I haven’t seen before, but a healthy collection and variety.
