    Don't get discouraged, you'll find him soon. I've come across 9 Grimlocks in the last 2 weeks from only 4 Targets.

    Yes.

    On-hand doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s on shelves. I found that out when trying to find Sky Lynx.

    Woodland Wal-mart has three of these left at $16 each in the "Clearance" section. Which is on the far side of the Electronics department...away from the Toy department.

    Dang, that's a little far for me to drive just to get two Fireflys (assuming they're still even there, haha).

    We HOPE.

    I generally favor Target, but I do admit their self-imposed internal “release dates” get a little annoying. I can understand a retailer wanting to hold stuff back for resets, but in my county (where Targets are mostly cooperative) managers from different stores aren’t always consistent and even when they impose a street date for a reset on “release date”, at times the new plan/product isn’t even out.

    Thankfully some folks here were able to score (like the homies @alkamist and @ahchu ), but the inconsistency is wack. Granted, I may not completely understand it from the store’s end. I do remember from when I worked retail that there were always dumb customers that have idiotic expectations. But if I could see a point for these release dates, they’d be easier to accept.:2c:

    Couldn’t post earlier because the site was all screwy, but as of about an hour ago:

    Jefferson Target has Rattrap, the Kingdom Deluxes, and the SS86 Voyagers.

    Fox Hills Target has Optimus Primal.
