    I believe the Mirage/Prime/Meister/Tracks wave was at the Woodbury Walmart. I was in there yesterday and there was just a Sunstreaker, and when I stopped by there tonight, there was a Sunstreaker and a Tracks! Can see the other three moving fast leaving Tracks behind. Check your favorite Wally World!

    I went looking for Prime, Mirage, and the $12 Primus yesterday. Didn't find anything at the Targets on White Bear&94 or Maplewood.

    Went looking at the same two Targets today. Nothing...

    But, here's an interesting note. I asked at the service counter at the Maplewood Target if they could look up Primus using the ~$12 and normal DPCI. She said that they could, and if they didn't have it in back she could find the nearest Target that did. For the $12 DPCI the nearest Target to the cities is New Ulm. I'm not driving there as she told me it was 86 miles away, but if someone does they owe me the second Primus if it's there or at least a Coke!! ;)  However, considering it's NEW ULM that DPCI could still be Starscream on clearance.

    I should have asked for more stores on the real DPCI, but she did say that the Oakdale Target has two in stock. They laughed at this because the Oakdale store doesn't open until mid to late July (22nd or so). So, if you don't have one by then and don't mind paying full price I believe they will have two! ;) 

    No sign of Mirage or Prime yet.... :(

    Yes, that's the one I was asking about. I also asked about 087 06 0001, which as I mentioned was listed as two at the Oakdale Target that hasn't yet opened.

    I'm sure the unopened Oakdale store has a section in the Fridley distribution center or somewhere that is accumulating all the stock they'll have at store opening.

    Store openings rock because they have the latest stuff, without shelfwarmers. I'm keeping my eye on the Hopkins store that was torn down and is being rebuilt as a SuperTarget.

    Mid to late July. I thought the girls at the Maplewood Target said something like the 22nd.

    Ah, very cool...

    went on a mini-hunt this evening. As of about 8 pm there was one Solo-Chewie Falcon set at the Eden Prairie WalMart, and all three of the new Mini-Con 2-packs at the Bloomington TRU

    Picked up Unicron, Giant Planet Mini-Con Team and BW 10th Megatron today at the Maple Grove Target.

    No BW Optimus Primal though. Otherwise there was 1 Megatron, 1 Giant Mini-con, 2 Ransack GT, 1 Demolishor and 1 Bendy Prime.

    Hey, that's the first US sighting reported of the Giant Minicons, Ransack GT and BWX Megatron! Would you be able to take pics for the front page?

    I thought those were already posted.

    BTW, I also found the Giant Minicons, Ransack GT, and Demolisher at the Roseville Target as of 6 pm this evening. No Unicron or Bendy Prime, though.

    I'm sure it would have been posted had it been seen recently, but has anyone spotted an Alternator Prime as of late? I'm really fiendin for this guy, and not finding him is driving me nuts. The southwest suburbs haven't had shit new for Alternators, the last one I got was Ricochet- haven't even spotted a Rollbar yet...:banghead:
