    Down in Pasadena the Target on Fairmont had an endcap filled with new exclusives!
    Movie 2-packs, Dirge & Roadbuster, Ratbat & Springer, Universe Team leaders, Jets 5-packs. Still had like 2 of each when I got what I wanted.
    *Max-prime* didn't inform you cause the boxes weren't up to your standards, LOL

    Haha, my wife and kiddo actually picked up a set for me at that very same Sam's last night. I was going to say that the paint apps were actually pretty good, but maybe my sweetie grabbed the only good one. I kind of dig the set :eek: 

    I also grabbed the Target exclusive two-packs last week (Springer/Ratbat and Roadbuster/Dirge). Told a lady in the toy department that I received the "available for ordering" email from target.com, but wanted to get it at the store and save shipping. Said no problemo, and grabbed them from the back. One less thing to worry about over Thanksgiving weekend.

    The Arboretum Target in Austin now has an endcap of all the new exclusives - Springer/Ratbat, Roadbuster/Dirge, Aerial Rivals, Team Leaders, and the Lockdown and Ratchet deluxe/legends packs. There were 2+ of everything when I left.

    You missed the Voyager Prime vs. Deluxe Bonecrusher and Voyager Megatron vs. Deluxe Jazz, each for $24.99.

    Note that Voyager Prime is a slight repaint and Voyager Megatron has quite a few differences (though similar to the "fire" Megs).

    I was at TRU at the Woodlands and they had 2 sets of Titanium Grimlock and Prowl. I grabbed 1 set so there is one more left possibly.

    those titaniums are 20 right? those feel so overpriced man, especially given the simplistic transformation for all.

    Yeah there $20 apiece but I like the War Within line so I couldn't resist. Plus I am 3 titaniums away from having them all so again I couldnt resist.

    The 6" Titaniums are worth the $20 IMO, sometimes simple is better. I'm not crazy about the diecast on them as it seems to stress the plastic parts. However, I do wish Hasbro would release a War Within Line - maybe do some for the Universe/25th Anniversary line.

    Bryan Target has their exclusives out on an end cap. I picked up both Universe Comic 2 packs and both Universe Legends 5-packs. Still a couple of each left. They also have about 4 each of the Animated Ratchet and Lockdown with Animated Legends packs. I only saw 1 Movie Megatron and Jazz 2pack.

    Picked up the updated Animated Voyager Optimus Prime (with the previously missing Autobot symbol now added) at Wal-Mart on Bandera. Wanted to see if they remedied the loose shoulders and waist of the original.....AND THEY DID!!! The QC on this guy is much better than before.

    Costco in Lewisville has the Animated Roll Out Command Optimus Primes (the supreme class ones) for $27.97! I grabbed one this afternoon and there were plenty left. Not sure if this was only at the Lewisville location or if it applies to all locations.

    I found movie Prime and Megs vs packs as well as animated Magnus at College Station Target on Saturday. There was 2 Prime packs and 3 or 4 Megs packs left. I also found 1 animated Prime with new shoulder symbol at college station walmart and 1 at the bryan walmart today along with animated activators Megs and Grimlock at Bryan Walmart. Plenty of those were left. The animated Prime with shoulder symbol at Bryan was still there as of 3 or 4 pm.

    I saw Grimlock and I think Megatron at the Walmart in McKinney. I know I saw Grimlock for sure.
