    Burlington in Roseville Har Mar Mall has one SS Sweep and one SS Wreck Gar for $13 each. Go to the back right corner, behind the toddler clothing.

    Ham Dinobot and Red Cog are $22 on the Target app. Buzzworthy Bluestreak (he's still around?) is $16. Toy-color dinobot not on the app, but $17.50 in stores.


    ::EDIT::
    Fallen and Sludge at Bloomington Target, as is a lone Legacy Knock-out. Tons of Python Patrol Vipers and Bats in the aisles and back in the collector's section.

    I guess Target is getting some classic TMNT re-releases? If anyone spots a Krang, HMU!


    Earthspark Twitch and Bee showed up today. Megs is a really bad representation of what the line has to offer, frankly. Bee is very fun and prolly one of the best Bee's we've gotten since like... Jeep Bee? Twitch is just really unique, though I wish there was a little more of a cohesive feel to the alt mode, mostly how everything pegs together but comes apart super easy. Still, transformations are on-par with Legacy. Not QUITE as good, and not quite as 'collector grade', but enough that I think they're cool. I hope we get a good Soundwave out of this line!

    I don’t expect to find one anymore, but did Motormaster ever really show up in MN? I foolishly never ordered one anywhere expecting I’d find one in the wild, but I never did and he’s since sold out everywhere.

    Yeah, for about two weeks, he was around. Mostly in the Southeastern burbs. The good news is Hasbro seems to be reissuing the commander-class figures.

    This is the type of weather that guarantees outside of work and groceries I'm staying inside. Oof.

    Stay warm out there those who are hunting for toys right now.

    I think I'm only really after SS86 Rumble right now and Legacy Dead End.... Well, there are a few others (Inferno and Transmetal 2 Megs), but those are ones I will get later on.

    Oh, also some Targets have also been getting in Tiger Force Duke with the RAM cycle and Tiger Force Bazooka if anyone sees them around.

    Any sightings of BW Inferno near Redwood? I've seen plenty of Velocitron stuff and lots of Jhiaxus and a few Soundwaves at the local Wal-Mart

    I haven't seen Inferno in stores around here, but he's in-stock-ish on amazon (delivering 1/3)

    When sightings of Motormaster in surrounding areas began occurring, I started visiting the Richfield (66th St) Target on my way to work every morning. It paid off after two weeks, and that’s how I got my Motor Master.

    I only saw Motor Master one other time in the wild - at the downtown Nicollet Mall Target - that I frequently visit during my lunch breaks.

    Besides those two instances, I’ve never seen another Motor Master in the wild. I don’t know if each store only got one or two EVER or what the deal is. It seems like they were a low-supply blink-and-you-miss-it release.

    And that’s weird because I feel like other recent figures in this size class have been well-stocked and easy to find in stores.

    There are transformers toys in recent years that I never saw in stores, even though I am out shopping all the time. I never saw Titans Return Windblade or Twintwist. I have never seen Earthrise Sunstreaker or Trailbreaker. It’s weird.

    He was on sale the first few weeks he was dropping in stores. Possible he sold through fast enough.

    Seems like most Targets get one or two shipments of Commander class figures and then that’s it, off the planogram.
