    I was indeed all over the place and found a few of the new stuff. Just sad no legacy dx wave 2 or Blitzwing (even if he's gonna rot on shelves into next year).

    Target shipped Migs so that’s a relief. If Koska ships then I won’t worry about the store hunt anymore.

    I have an extra Motormaster for cost if anyone wants him. Otherwise, he goes back to Target. I’m in LA.

    Target Masonic had lots of peeps on the floor restocking. No new transformers.....yet? But I did snag an Ultimate Edition Hulk Hogan. Lol.

    Would anyone that finds Cosmos @ Walmart pick up extra for others? No Walmart near me within an hour so I am more than willing to pay a little extra for one from one of the members of this board.

    Anyone????

    If it _is_ true, it could be a swap-and-return. Stranger things have happened.

    But yeah... it's probably not.

    I second this. If I see Cosmos in the store, I'll tell you right now I'll pick up multiples and sell them to other local members for no more than $30, and hopefully you'll do the same, and that way if one of us never sees it we can still have one for a decent price.

    I also promise to never buy up ALL the stock on a shelf unless there are only 2 or fewer remaining. I want to give other people a chance to get stuff too. I even followed this rule with troop builders like Reflector and Gnaw... if there were only 3, I'd just get 2 even though I might still want a third one. I'll just take my chances I can find it elsewhere. In the case of Reflector I did, in the case of Gnaw I didn't.

    And on an endcap over by the scanner in the toy section, the BB Dinobot and BB bug buddies 4-pack which I didn't realize was open on top, which I hope will not be abused but knowing these folks...

    But it was Target Gardena (Redondo Beach Blvd.) that had big scores, HUGE scores...
    Several of Red Cog:

    Motormaster, Junkheap, Terrorsaur, Dinobot:

    And for SW fans, a couple TVC Reva, 4 Migs (Morak), and several TBS Antoc Merrick(!!!):

    ETA: Forgot, they also had Micro Galaxy Squadron Vader's TIE, Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter, an X-wing, and a Millennium Falcon.

    Has Cosmos been found or is everyone just antsy?

    This week hurt real bad. Creatures collide, Metroplex, Motormaster and now MPM-13 Blackout. Found Blackout at Encinitas Target this afternoon. They had 4 out. Costs $165.99.

    i definitely recommend getting a Target Red Card. 5% off takes a small bit of the pain away.

    Watch out on that Redcard, it's dangerously easy to enjoy. I got mine maxxed out today, it was so confusing. Turned out thanks to SDCC preorders, I had maxxed it out mostly on pre-authorizations! I paid down the current balance, but man they suck how they do rolling pre-auths.

    spacey, actually!

    Cosmos is shortpacked in the case, isn't he? That's the reason why he sold out so quick?
