    Ran into this situation in at least two stores. Dunno if it means they’re coming soon or an error.

    Think they are casemates but people are passing on Primal.

    I was speaking more about DPCI checks showing numbers but no one being able to find them in-store.

    I’d kill for a Primal right now...

    LA is a better choice for you.

    SF stores suck mostly. let me rephrase it... in SF bay area (east bay are better with more Walmart and Target) San Francisco itself sucks in term of toys hunting.

    Yeah, Target's system translates them all as the same. Hell they are using the same DPCI for Leader Class across all of WFC. They can show stock of Kingdom Leaders and you get there and it's a Siege Shockwave that has been there for almost 2 years

    My wife had to run an errand and checked the Sunnyvale target again for me. Apparently the rep she talked to checked and there was nothing in the back. They said they “wouldn’t be released until the 10th”. I’m guessing they meant that’s when they are going to refresh the aisle?

    this was also the message that i got coming from more than half the target employee's i talked to during my hunt frenzy for the last 3 days, I even took a quick pic of a couple of their "Zebra" smart phones with inventories for other stores, there were many showing 8, 10, 4, 6 in stock at other close locations, but whenever I got there, nothing, nada, not even 1 or 2. its becauses they are there, just not out in the aisle, and they wont even bring it out because they arent suppose to.

    oh yes, checked target West at SF; they have done the reset for TFs but still completely empty. I think they really pay attention to the street date.

    Those inventory listings might be phantoms based on their reusing DPCI numbers

    That may be the case. I wasn’t told when the refresh was going to happen anyways.

    To those who have Primal, are the joints tight for anyone? Mine are super tight everywhere, which personally I do like, but maybe it’s a little too tight for my liking.

    Yes my Primal and Scourge both had unusually tight joints, just flex them back and forth slowly you should be ok.

    Seems like people are out to as envy Sweeps as they can. I’m assuming there will be lots of Hot Rod available!
