    Was at Target earlier for random shopping and got Springer. Didn't get around to opening it til around 9PM and noticed mine had a defect--2 left thighs. Took it back, hoping they'd have the other one, but it was gone already.

    Totally sucks, but oh well. So, to update, Target on Rivers has 0 Springers and 3 Blitzwings left, as of when I checked at 9:30PM.

    Man, that sucks. I'm glad I looked over all 4 before I purchased it, even though I missed that defect altogether. I was going to go back today and get one for a friend as a gift, however you just saved me an empty trip.

    Yeah, I didn't even notice until I was trying to put it into helicopter mode, and then the flap didn't peg in correctly. I considered keeping it anyway, but I figured if I'm paying like, $24 for a toy, it'd better be freakin' perfect.

    When I returned it, the cashier and I had a good laugh about it since it was such a miniscule issue. It's seriously something you've never notice.

    Checked out the Target in Summerville after getting a haircut today, and they have 4 Blitzwings, and 0 Springers. Sadness.

    Finally found a single, solitary Springer at the Target in West Ashley. No defects either! I can't say I wasn't a little worried that I'd be left without one.

    They have one Blitzwing left if anyone's interested. It was there as of last night, around 8:30 PM.

    But yeah, I can't praise Springer enough. It's just ridiculously better than the FP one, imo. I'd sell my Defender in a heartbeat if it wasn't Fansproject, and I didn't have some kind of unholy pact to buy everything from them...

    I'm glad you managed to get one, V_Z. You'd be missing one superb toy if you didn't.

    I'm visiting from Florida and was sitting at the nearby Chipotle when I decided to check the SC Sightings thread. I saw this post and and thought to myself, "Where is this Walmart? Oh, it's right behind me? SWEET."

    I picked up the last Springer and the Kickback. Thanks for heads up, MrFX!
