    Scored mine today 3/17/09 at Chantilly VA. Target. Shockwave and Sunstorm weren't out yet, but the kindly folks at Target retrieved them from the back for me. Kudos for them! :D

    Why is it that MY Targets NEVER get things like this. Seriously! I have 5 of the worst Targets in the entire nation. They don't have jack squat. Activators Ratchet and the Safeguard packa are all they have. They SUCK at getting anything new, which is why I LOATHE exclusives, especially from Target, and seconded on Walmart. I'd love to get Sunstorm and Shockwave repaints. They're really cool.

    Oh, and...

    Targets are fickle. The first Target I went to to preorder my Platinum wouldn't let me preorder it, but the second did.

    Go to a Target with dumb people, or nice people. Both ways, you can't go wrong.

    I know I shouldn't, but I did. Why was I tempted to buy both. It was like the end cap was calling my name. And all I wanted to buy was toothpaste.

    Well, after posting my flame-fest regarding my local Targets filled with epic fail, I actually found these Tuesday night. They had only a few, and they were all Shockwaves, so I snagged me one. I much prefer the purple over the gray. THIS IS SHOCKWAVE. :)

    Got my Shockwave Tuesday at the Lake Pleasant/Happy Valley Super Target in Peoria.

    Really nice set. First Shockwave, and animated voyager. Has a problem with the left fist, but I don't regret the purchase at all.

    I had thought about buying the Grey Shockwave they had in stock, but the extra five dollars for the purple is easily worth it.

    Pick him up if you see it.
