I generally hate Ratchet in design and colors, but the new deluxe looks better than some of his past incarnations (not saying much) and........ an awesome weapon gimmick! I want that weapon!

 

The target I work at only got two cases of everything and that is it and that includes the deluxes. Like indicated, try Walmart as the deluxes at least should be cheaper and more plentiful. My store had them selling for $11.99 but I thought I saw somewhere that walmart was selling them for $9.97 if I was not mistaken. Also if you have the DPCI's for what you looking for, ask a team member for assistance. Some Targets are pulling them as individual pulls from the backroom called pogs that will be reset whenever plano or the toy team lead will get to it. Some stores like mine are slower than others on resets but if your store is higher volume, you most likely get more cases and they will be quicker on displaying them. Ask them also to do an item search at other stores on whatever toy you are looking for if they do not have it. They can print out a receipt with all the nearest stores that have the DPCI in stock but you can also specify any area in the US to do the search on. You are not regulated to your immediate area. There are no guarantees on them holding a specific toy for you but it does not hurt to try. It will save you a trip and more importantly gas.

 

This sounds pretty consistent with what I saw from the Pittsburg Walmart and San Ramon Target. Interesting thing at SR Target was a Battle Ops Bee for $15 but didn't pick it up since I'm probably gonna end up with Leader Bee instead.

 

Where did you get him?

 

hasbrotoyshop.com has commander powerglide for pre-order and will ship june 6. Decided to order it online with gi joe shadow tracker figure. Used code DISC10 to get a small discount.
Please feed the scalpers sometimes bec. scalpers are human too.
voyager shockwave and skyhammer are still in stock at amazon.

 

Anyone in SD spot Shockwave?

 

Target in Santee had quite a few.

 

Got Powerglide from TARGET Cerritos West. BTW, does anybody have a promotion code for HTS?  

 

DISC10 gets you 10% off.

 

Thanx!

 

I got Shockwave from a DCPI pull at a Target in Richmond. However, I did see a Shockwave at Walmart in Martinez this morning, so I'd think that Shockwave has shown up at some Walmarts.

If he gets hard to find in your area, I'd maybe try to do a DCPI pull at Target at Lone Tree. They've always been helpful to me.

 

Burbank Target was pretty much cleared out; Just some HA figures (basic & regular), deluxe bumblebee, deluxe barricade, 1 deluxe jolt, a few voyager primes, a few leader bees, and several cyberverse figures.

I got lucky; When I walked in the store I saw someone heading towards the checkout aisles with a Leader Sentinel Prime, and I think he put it back near another end cap and I was able to get it. Thanks stranger!

 

You know what they say at the zoo. Don't feed the animals.

I hid 2 powerglides in the south bay. Also, I came across 3 hidden plastic packs of Lego AT-ATs. When no price showed up on the scanner, I took it to a salesperson, who said that they weren't suppose to be on the floor and then took them to the back room.

 

san mateo kmart :
commander ($8) : 3 optimus, 1 ironhide, 1 sentinel prime, 1 megatron.
voyager ($20) : 2 optimus, 1 shockwave, 1 skyhammer.
I did not get the shockwave and skyhammer bec. I already ordered them from amazon earlier.

 

Thanks to hierojux for the tip. Got the last shockwave.

Natomas target has two skyhammers. I hid 1. PM me.
Also had one leader SP and one leader BB. Tons of voyager OP. Many deluxes.

This as of 15mins ago.

 

I wished I could trade in that HftD deluxe Ratchet... as of a deluxe ratchet... it is just not right with its size in vehicle mode.


P.S. same applies to Crankcase in my opinion... (improper size in vehicle mode..)

 

Yea I only really want him and Megs... I'm not super worried about getting them. I wana check Pittsburg TRU, it always seem like they have surprises there.

 

Anyone seen any Warpath, Wreck-Gar. Wheeljack, or Thundercracker in the Bay Area?

 

 
I just ordered Lugnut, G2 Optimus, Oil Pan, and Breacher yesterday. That's what I get for not asking I suppose.

 

That's a negative ghost rider though I did see a Scourge at San Ramon Target this evening around 6pm.
