    well I hadn't bought any transformers in a while so I had an urge to spend some cash haha. when I saw all the thundercats I ended up picking up one of each of the 4inchers, all three of the 6 inch figs, and as I was walking out I saw the 8 inch classics roll by on a pallet...had to get those too. Add all that to the thundertank and two bikes I picked up a few days earlier at toyrus. My wallet is in tears.

    Good luck! I called this morning and the girl I spoke to checked, but said they didn't have any. If you still go let me know if they have some. Their next truck is Friday so I'm gonna call them again Friday morning to see if they got any in.

    FINALLY!!! Scored my RTS Windcharger at the Plano Ross at 75 and Parker! I searched all over, but didn't find another one. Also saw an ROTF Leader Starscream, RTS Lugnut, HFTD Terradive, a couple of Deluxe Bumblebees (HFTD I think) and a couple of Scout-class Breachers. Also saw a couple of the younger-ages Transformers. Didn't bother looking at the details.

    Wasn't able to post yesterday but Westchase Target had a Warpath. Looks like they popping everywhere so that's good news for anyone who hasn't got one yet.

    Same Target also had a voyager Ani Bulkhead in the clearance aisle. It didn't ring up a price so I took it to the counter and see if I could get it for $3 or less. Unfortunately, the register guy called up the manager lady rather than just ringing it up so I had to wait. The manager lady looked it up and gave it to me for $4.98. Not bad I guess. :p 

    Also picked up a few MB Halo series 3 mini-figs. Glad to finally have a complete Camo Elite since my first one had 2 left legs (talk about awkward).

    I have a hilarious story I posted in a note on my facebook about my HA Leadfoot today. I know it's quite lengthy but I hope you guys get a kick out of it.
    So as it well documented in tales of lore I am a Transformers fan. I love the whole genre and raise my geek flag and wave it proudly. Many miles and hours have passed in search of that one particular one that makes my day and completes the hunt...for now. But my obsession aside this morning I see that a certain type of plastic crack that gives me my fix has been sighted in the area. Human Alliance Leadfoot. Due to his alt form being the Target stock car you can only get him, guess where, Target! Now for those of you that have watched the Dark of the Moon movie he was the Wrecker that had a gut. For those of you that have not seen the movie, sit and spin. Well I call my local Target Right at 08:01 you know to give them that minute they may need to sit down, sip that coffee, and prepare for a day of phone answering. I get the operator, I make my inquiry as to if it's in stock, and she puts me on hold. Now for those of you who have been put on "hold" in the past know that dread that comes with it. How long? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? Well at 15 minutes my wacky sense of humor begins to start running wild. Coming off a night shift I tend to be even less subdued than normal. So I hop on the bike and did I mention this Target is 5 minutes away from me, even less when you aim to misbehave so let's say 30 seconds away. Well I park and go to the customer service desk. "Can I help you?" the young lady behind the counter asks. So nice she is already I feel sorry. "Hi" I say, " I'm on hold". "What?" she curiously asks. After explaining that we are now reaching the 20 minute mark on my holding pattern she looks up the item confirming there are 4 of them. After going back to the toy aisle I don't see them. I proceed back to the front, did I mention I'm still on hold? Well the young lady sees me coming and this look of doom crosses her face. I'm not mad at her, she's not the Houdini phone operator. I tell her I didn't find the item, may I see the manager, oh yeah...I'm still on hold. As the manager approaches and gives me a standard greeting of "Is there a problem sir?" Oh the many times I've heard that from various flight attendants, store manager, and law enforcement. I ask her how her sense of humor is. She looks at me like I'm crazy (all of you shut up) and I show her the call timer on my phone. She notes the number is indeed the stores number and calls back to the operator. She inquires is anyone on hold? To which the operator says no. All of a sudden my line goes dead. Now I'm a little miffed. I look at the manager probably the same way I look at a Kardashian (I hate them). Adn the manager with no asking immediately begins to look up the provided DCPI number and hurridly tells a reluctant person on the other end to get that Transformer up here NOW! "I apologize for this sir I promise to deal with this immediately. I haven't said a word yet by the way. "Um does this toy have a street date sir?" "Ma'am a street date mattered to me 25 minutes ago, unfortunately that call went to 29 minutes and 20 seconds. She looks at me "...You're right" Well I sit on my couch telling you this story while enjoying my fruit cup and chicken biscuits. Oh yeah, Leadfoot is right on my table. I'd open him but he's almost a trophy now.

    As oddly as this might seem this is the same kind of thing I go through with some stores lol. Like today I went to Target that is just up the road from me because the the store finder shows them to have HA Leadfoot in stock. Well I go to the toys section where they have the Transformers at and I immeditaly ask this male employee if he could check the back and he gives me the run around about their store having a policy on collectibles and that they can not go to the back to check. Anyways after that I decided to go to the service desk well the guy checks and it shows they have 12 and that they are not in the back but on the floor well I was over where they would be if there were and they were not there. So either someone it telling stories or someone took all 12 of them for themselves. I am actually going to go by there tomorrow because the guy at the service desk also told me they stock during the night so maybe they will be on the shelf by then. If not I'm going to make them go to the back and find the damn things by gah. I've been waiting for HA Leadfoot since June. Anyways I enjoyed your story my friend hope you enjoyed your chicken and biscuits lol.

    This will help you find Ultimate Prime at your nearest Target store Find it at a Target store. Another place would be Walmart as I've been told they are 64.99 like they were on their site. Hope this helps.
