    Wow 4.99 for voyagers! Picked up multiples of both Sunstorm and Shockwave at Elk Grove Target. Still about 10 of each still there.

    Target Manhattan Beach had about 8 Sunstorms, and I bought the last Shockwave. :D  Nothing is left at Target Culver City on Jefferson.

    went to Target Mountain View this morning at 8am before work to see if they had anything. got my money back for me Shockwave and picked up the only sunstorm they had beat up box but for 5 bucks worth it. ended up saving 27.05 - 5.45 - 5.45 = $16.15 thats a killing. going to pop by rwc target to see if they have any sunstorms in an not totally efft up box. They had nothing else, so a bunch of battle bumpers and one dinobot.
    oh point of interest, even though you have a 3 month receipt, they will only do a savings refund for 14 days. so i had to return the shockwave and then take it to the register and rebuy it.

    I still have a few of those Target packs left over, if anyone couldn't find one, and is within reasonable distance to Redwood City. :)

    I went to TRUs and all Transformers figures are 20% off. I bought Ratchet for 8.

    Marshalls had some remnants and I got Marvel Legends Sunfire for 7.

    Can anyone hook up a fellow CA and ship the Target Shockwave twopack + Sunstorm twopack for $20?

    I don't mind taking them loose to save on shipping, as long as it is 100% complete

    Target in my area also had the 4.99 deal on animated. Picked up 4 sets and decided to pick up some more and there was only 2 sets of Sunstrom.

    Picked up a Shockwave set at Buena Park TARGET late this afternoon. I think there are about 15 more or less left in the backroom. I also checked my PDA at work and it showed about 27 sets left at Cypress TARGET. Hurry and get your sets before there gone.

    Colma and Serramonte Targets were out of the $5 Sunstorm and Shockwave packs, though I did see someone purchase one of those Sunstorms. Instead, there were stocked to the teeth with Wave 5 deluxes. Colma had an entire row devoted to Wave 5 Deluxes; there were a bunch of Blurrs if anyone is still looking for one. There were also a couple of Blitzwings and Voyager Primes. MMs are on sale also; I spotted a BB, OP, and two Starscreams at the Colma Target.

    I was at the BP Target at about 6pm.
    Were you the guy I talked to with the Shockwave in his hand?

    All I found was a busted up Sunstorm, so I talked to one of the guys at the counter and they went to the stockroom and pulled out a bunch so I was able to get a proper set.

    If that was you, it was cool to finally meet a board member in the wild!

    Hmmm....weird news here guys.

    I went back by RWC target to try and grab a few more for the boards, since they still have plenty in stock here. (I counted at least 7 of each figure) I loaded up 4 more figures and took them to the checkout -- I thought I might double-check the price at the scanning stands, but they were all curiously out of order.

    When I got to the checkout, the guy scanned them all, and the total came to....90-something dollars! The price apparently shot back up to 22.49 or something like that... I balked and told him I thought that was the wrong price, while I wondered to myself if maybe the 4.99 price might have been some sort of mistake that had been corrected, or the sale had perhaps ended. He double checked it and said that it was in fact the correct price, so I apologized and told him I didn't need them after all.

    Can anyone else confirm this?

    Yep... its true. But it was fun while it lasted, 2 whole days of TFA buying bliss.

    I guess now we can focus on the important stuff:
    Where is Activators Cliffjumper?

    OMG !!!!!!!!! T(x) you got to thank me cuz' I got you one of each yesterday !!!

    btw, I was able to credit my shockwave I got on 3/17 yesterday, yes, that was just 20 days ago.. and the dude in customer service gave me back the credit without me asking for a re-buy....

    And this Target MISTAKE is the funniest I believe !!!!! for a decade !!! :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  5x LOL

    Updated: just checked the Target web site and it is still listed as 4.99 but in stores only. Well... at least perhaps some stores crews/managers might think this price is just ridiculous so they might adjust it by themselves ???


    http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...arget-animated-exclusives-sale-4-99-a-10.html starting from #230 to hear others story which can confirm this as the biggest Target mistake ?

    Couldn't get my TFA two-pack Shockwave/Sunstorm figures price adjusted - 1 day over their 14 day adjustment period. They didn't have figures for me to purchase and return either.

    Screwed! >_<
