Grr. still no Jetfire for me. Alright, still have an extra Grimlock for $10. Unless somebody claims him I'll be taking him back to the Blaine Super Target this weekend to get my cash back and he'll be left to the Fates.
I'd buy him off you, but I got way too much going on this weekend to meet up, you could probably eBay the sumbitch for quite a bit more than you paid... In other news, still one Mirage at Downtown Target, as well as one Thorbuster Iron Man from the MODOK series for those interested. Also saw one Superman variant in the DC Super Heroes line with the Black and Red "S" on his chest.
Nothing good at Maplewood TRU last night. Voyager classics show none in stockroom. Did pick up a Bumblebee and Astrotrain (plus a couple of Barbies) for Toys for Tots. Maplewood TRU has 2-3 Prime vs. Megs two packs. They were up above the display in the storage bins. Glad I found the Grimlock at retail. Received and email overnight informing me that my HTS purchase had been cancelled!!
Minnetonka TRU has the Classics Minicons. I got one of each set. No dinobots left, but two sets of the other teams. I can't wait until after work when I can play with these. Ridgedale Target Greatland has 2x Mirage and 1x Grimlock.
How are they stocked? Do they cost the same as the deluxe figures, or are they replacing the Cybertron scouts? just trying to figure out if they'll be showing up in locations that still have a bunch of Cyb scouts left over, or if they're in a new slot.
Looked like a new slot to me. They're $6.99 and the receipt calls them "TRANSFORMER MINI CON 07." I have a receipt from TRU from September labelled "TFORM SCOUT CYBERTRON." I'm assuming they're different items in TRU's computer.
picked up one of the Night Rescue Team packs from Minnetonka TRU. Firebot and Strongarm are cool. Divebomb's... interesting. Also, they had the new SWTF repaints of the Clone Carrier & the Vader version of the Jedi Starfighter.
My good deeds were rewarded today. Drove from St. Paul to Burnsville to pick up my girlfriend after work to drive her to an interview so she could put on her makeup and prepare on the way there. We had to go to Eden Prairie, right next to the Target down there, so I did a little shopping while she was interviewing. Well, I walked into the toy section and the first thing I saw was a Jetfire lying next to all the other voyagers! W00t!!!!!! Now I can completely avoid the stores until after Christmas!! They had one Grimlock and a couple of Mirages left.
Saw one Jetfire at the BC Target as of about 9 pm this evening. Was tempted to pick one up for someone on the board, but realized I was out of town next week, so it probably wouldn't be feasable.
Found & Bought the only Classics Mirage at the WSP Target. It was pretty much a sure bet since I got Grimlock there last week. Still no Jetfire.
Maplewood TRU has 3 Classics Mirage and the new mini-con sets. I picked one of the Dinobots sets leaving 2 behind. They also had a few of the other sets. No Jetfire or Grimlock. Edit: I should of saved my money.
Amazon.com has Optimus Prime 20th Anniversary Figure for $49.99 w/ free shipping if anyone is still looking for him. Looks like it's a friday only deal. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H44MD0/ref=nosim/?tag=dealnewscom1136-20&linkCode=as1
Finally got Jetfire at the DT Target of all places, the deluxes there are nearly picked clean so be on look out for Grimlock when they restock
Theres a Cybertron Metroplex at the DT Target if any still need or want him, be warn for some reason it comes up as $45.69, I picked up a GF Prime they had at that price
Went to five different Targets (and K-mart and TRU) today looking for some JLU figures for my friends. Found 3 of the 5 figures he needs, thus proving I only have good toy luck when I am looking for other people. Anyway, I noticed that at most of these places the Deluxes have been pretty much wiped out! At one Target they only had a Bumblebee and Mirage left. The Voyagers were still there at most of them though sitting on the shelves. Glad to see this series doing so well.
No kidding, I was out doing some shopping in Bloomington tonight and Target only had maybe two Classics figures left. TRU had absolutely nothing left for Classics. Hasbro needs to give the line a little longer life span than what they are planning.
Bloomington TRU's Transformers setup was kind of a sty when I got there this afternoon, and they currently don't have any Minicons, but they do have two Grimlocks, if people are still looking.
