    Westlake target had tigatron wave but only one Rhinox on the shelf with almost 70% of stuff sold out at their tiny toy dept. This is the worst time of the year for us to hunt for the new stuff as anything placed on the bench will be gone.

    Stonestown target also had one Rhinox and nothing in the back. either it is a return or a case came in late yesterday.

    Struck Out is that new fan-vote character that transforms from a minivan to a robotic toy collector, right?

    Saw Batgirl and Red Hood from the "Three Jokers" wave of McFarlane toys today, if anyone's into that. Jefferson and Fox Hills Targets.

    that is a record... but it was tough to hunt with everyone else shopping for toys. I am glad in my area those Leader class Beast Wars Megatrons found their way to homes... hope the kids like and keeping them... Now the sad part to begin is... those kids want more (cheetor, primal, rattrap...) and none at any stores any more...

    By the way, I know it’s Christmas, so stores are closed, but I’d like to say something TF-wise.

    Pipes and Slammer have hit California… at least SoCal. I got mine yesterday in the Sports Arena Target. Airazor, their casemate, was on the floor, so I checked in the back, and there was a Pipes and Slammer there. They rang up fine on the self-checkout, and thanks to the discount on the Kingdom figures, got them for $30 combined, less than what one of them would go on eBay currently. Check your Targets once Christmas is over, and when you’re there, check in the back (if there’s an Airazor and/or Blackarachnia, that’s a good sign!)

    Thanks for the tip! Do you know how many were at that store? Just trying to get a sense of how many of that wave Targets may be getting in.

    No idea, to be honest. There were 13 in the back, and the employee got out 6 of them (per my request, didn't want to overload him), which contained the two. The stuff he got out also contained Wave 3 figures (I saw Wingfinger there), so I can't really make an exact estimate. Maybe there's 2 more in there, or maybe there isn't. All I know is that they're out in the wild here.
