    I'm glad you found the good stuff.
    But that's not the "midtown" store, that's the "Riverside" store. The midtown one is on J street and it's very small.

    Shocking development at Pleasant Hill Target just now for Marvel Legends fans. Much of the Ursa Major wave was there, Stealth Iron Man, Darkstar and Vault Guardsman are still there (I took Riri, Mod Iron Man and classic Ultron).

    For MOTU fans no Masterverse, but there was a new Origins set with chrome Battle Armor He-Man and Battle Cat. Also one Clamp Champ.

    Grabbed Worlds Collide and Origins bee from the Douglas target in Roseville. They have a few more there. That price hike did NOT feel good.

    Is Rodimus Target or Walmart exclusive?

    Probably technically Target-exclusive? Hearing how Siege Jetfire turned out, and seeing how Sky Lynx's distribution was, I wouldn't be surprised.

    That, and he got sighted in an Arizona Target. So.

    Neither. It’s not an exclusive.

    I doubt you’ll find him in store. My advice is to buy online. Entertainment Earth has been shipping their preorders out.

    Agree especially if you have a smaller Target. Mine just did a reset and stocked the new buzzworthy stuff, EXCEPT there's no spot for the 4-pack and they removed the commander placeholder for more marvel and cyberverse. They didn't carry Jetfire, did carry Sky Lynx, stopped carrying core and battle masters for Siege. Also my store has never carried Titans.

    Depends. I mean, I bought both Sky-Lynx and Jetfire in-store (at Target and Walmart respectively) with more than one opportunity to get either. Once those initial runs were gone tho they were gone.

    But I'm also in a sweet spot that's over-saturated with Targets and Walmarts too though.

    Would it worth switching out a bbts preorder for an entertainment earth one?

    My EE started processing the next day. Ordered the 20th or 21st. So for me it was worth changing over.

    Based on what I’m seeing on the EE forum I would say yes but you never know. Maybe place both and see who ships first? My Rodimus will arrive tomorrow (tracking says he’s at my local post office). Once in hand (and assuming no defects), I’m canceling my Amazon preorder.

    Update, hit Douglas and grabbed the last origins and world set.

    They didnt have anything at Ferguson target but I saw group of guys who were kinda racing me to the toy section so I knew they were either collectors or scalpers. Luckily one of the workers told me that they'll start putting stuff out next week so I'll check back then

    Just walked out of the Roseville Target off Douglas. They had THREE Worlds Collide Box Sets (I took 1) and ONE Origins Bee.
