    Oh, for the love of... they is liars!!!!! aaaargh!!!

    well, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that they dont' have the new stock in yet. They probably had the shelves set up a month ago.

    But still, rrrrgh... I know what I'm doing this weekend.

    Stopped at Knollwood Target on the way home and they had a case of Classic Voyagers in the back that a team member brought out for me. One Prime and Megatron left as of 6:30 PM.

    Went back to Bloomington Target, punched the numbers in, saw there was a case of Voyagers in the back, very politely asked a young man in the electronics department if he could possibly get them for me, and he told me in a somewhat irritated fasion that they couldn't bring them out until the 15th.

    That's it for me, I'm not going out of my way for these things anymore. I'll wait until they're sitting on the shelf.

    I was shut-out at No. St. Paul Target last night. Lady wouldn't even tell me if there were any in the back because they are "collectable". I could have tried someone else but I was ready to get home at that point.

    I had the dcpi #s on a post-it. I showed them to the guy who offered his help (like ordering a drink at a bar, make eye contact and look like you have something to say). All I said was, "There weren't any of these on the shelf but the red computer thing said there were more in the back. Can you help me out?"

    He did the Quantum Leap thing on his scanner gun and there weren't any deluxe size ones, but there was one box of the voyagers, Prime and Megatron. Two each in a box.

    Starscream is one of the deluxe sized ones. There weren't any there.

    That's exactly what I did at Bloomington Target yesterday, right down the post-it note. But when my guy did the quantum leap scanner thing that's when he told me they couldn't bring them out until the 15th.

    All depends on what employee you get and what mood they're in I guess.

    St.Louis Park Target has on the shelf, as of 11:00 this morning, 2 Classics Megatrons and one Classics Prime. There were 2 Primes, but now I have one. No Deluxe figures were on the shelf or in the computer.

    I forgot to mention that the Knollwood Big Lots had a bunch of new KO's there (new to me at least). Two packs that included KO Energon Aerialbots/Machine Wars Mirage,etc; Optimus Primal KO, a G1 Dreadwind and Darkwing KO (with KO headmaster!), and some other ones that I did not recognize from the TF Universe.

    The Quarry Target has them but the assholes there won't bring from from the back. This after a girl was going to get them for me but couldn't get the boxes down herself. She went to get help and the fucking prick that came back was like "we can't put these out to the 15th." Fuckers made an even shitty day shittier, especially after the cocktease that looked like I would get getting them. I give up.
