    Awesome. I don't care where I have to drive. I just don't wanna risk a store selling out.

    Also. Thanks to those that kept a lookout for Strat for me. I picked him up at Maple Grove WM. We start coping classes on Monday so that I can learn to deal with his feet. LOL!

    If I had to guess which Targets will get Wave 4 first (based on previous items), I'd say Bloomington (494 & Penn), and Knollwood Super Target (169 & 7) are the front runners. Keep an eye on those 2 places if you're near them!

    Perhaps it's already been posted here or elsewhere and I missed it...but Target has a new Transformers t-shirt that just arrived for those that like Transformers apparel. It's light gray and has G1 goodness with Optimus, Jazz, Rodimus, Grimlock, and Bumblebee. It's also in the Target ad this week (pg.16)...normally 7.50 and now on sale for $5. It's on the "Tees for Dudes" (I think that's what the sign said) rolling display that was at the front of the men's clothing section at Plymouth target. I'm not sure if it's front page newsworthy or not and it's not a toy sighting, but I thought I'd at least mention it.

    Brooklyn Park Target still has a couple Breakaways and a Soundwave, if anyone's still looking. They also have a surplus of Titaniums, as well as two clearanced Optimus Prime helmets. Other than that, nothing too special.

    Yeah and while I was at the Maple Grove WM yesterday I got a black t-shirt with a large "movie style" grey autobot symbol with blue eyes and border, kinda looks like blue light shining out from behind the logo. The XXL was 9.50, its a pretty badass shirt.

    Nothing exciting at the Maplewood TRU. The 50% off sales are done. The only new thing I saw there was the ultimate Bumblebee, which no one really cares about anyway.

    Add that to the "buy on site for Marty" list! Pass on Grindor, though. Never was a huge fan of that mold.

    Thanks to the sightings at Bloomington TRU and the Target across the street, I now have Leader Jetfire and HA Bumblebee.

    None left of either and nothing worth noting at either place.

    Went by WSP Kmart which I rarely ever do, one of kids happened to find a Leader Jetfire "hidden" behind a big RC truck. I know I paid a couple bucks more than I woulda at Walmart or Target but I couldn't pass it up.

    The White Bear Ave & 94 Target still had their leader Jetfire as of last night. You could always do a buy and return to Kmart if it was still there...

    They had nothing else of real interest. Still a couple voyager Megs and Mixmasters. The TFs, especially the deluxes, looked like a child-sized tornado had hit them. It actually did look like a lot of KMarts I remember from about 10 years ago. :D 

    I'm going to be looking for Bruticus Maximus and HA Sideswipe. If anyone finds these and purchases I will promptly pay back and meet wherever. My wedding is less than three weeks away now and class is still cranking, so I have some time to look but not a lot.

    Second consecutive post....

    Stopped by the midway Target on the way to class. Nothing notable there EXCEPT Bumblespud is 50% off!!! That's right, at $4.98 he practically jumps into your cart!

    I checked the scanner for any additional combiners in the back. None listed, and still no stock for the HA DPCI.

    I assume you guys are registered at HTS.com :D 

    Knollwood Target has a pantload of Deluxe Megs and 4 Mixmasters for good measure.

    Well, I did scan a leader Prime at Target as a joke, but then deleted it immediately. ;)  We've got a Wii and Punchout on the list, that's about as fun as it gets.

    I stopped by the WB & 94 Target after class. They still have the leader Jetfire and the other same figs as yesterday. Only two Superions, so maybe Bruticus will show up there soon.
