    I was thinking of opening a shelter for abandoned animals in that space, actually.

    Downtown Target did have one 6 inch prime after I bought one, around 5:15pm. They also had new cyb deluxes though I picked up prime (tatoo/fixed version) and Unicron.

    They had SWTF Millinium Falcon in stock to.

    Also Hasbro in their grand wisdom decided to whore out the M.A.S.K. concept for a toy line called Alpha Teens and not just reissue/remake the M.A.S.K. line.

    Shit, I thought toy companies' bread and butter these days was reviving old school brand names, I'm suprised they didn't call it MASK for the simple pleasure of milking all us nostalgic suckers.

    Well there is nothing stoping people from calling it M.A.S.K. and no doubt there will be some kind of cartoon. Though a better M.A.S.K. homage was in the Lego Artic Alpha Team sets.

    M.A.S.K. vehicles kicked ass. The ones in ATOM are lame. The van has a laser on top but the back opens up to form DJ turntable. Oh yeah.. the bad guys got served.

    Checked EP area. EP Walmart has one Quickmix, EP Target has Quickmix, Attacktix, and more six inch titaniums than you can shake a stick at. Not looking like those are going to be an issue anytime soon, unlike the Alts.

    EDIT: Non-TF news, the Target also had, um, don't remember the title specifically, but Friggin Huge Marvel Selects is probably a good way of putting it. Giant Wolvie, Iron Man, and Captain A figures.

    And for the love of variants, EP Walmart had a bearded Sentry figure.

    Ok, I 'm new to the boards and I live in woodbury.

    I don't know if anyone here can help me out but I'm desperately looking for a Dead End and a Decepticharge. Those are the only two Alts I need to complete my collection of them so far.

    I was wondering if anyone here knows where I can get the hook up or if any of you can help me out with finding those figures.

    Also the Woodbury Target and Wal-Mart have been pretty good about stocking the Alts. I've got Meister, Prime, and Mirage all in the past 2 weeks.

    They had 2 primes at the target here this morning.

    You'll pretty much have no chance of finding a Decepticharge or Dead End in stores anymore, they're about a year old. Your best bet would probably be eBay.

    I know they wouldn't be in a wal-mart or target. I meant of if anyone knew of a specialty store or comic shop that might have some of these older figures or If any of you have a spare or two you could hook me up with.

    The only thing I can think of is there is still a BT Dead End at the Hot Comics in Richfield at 66th and Nicollet. They don't have any Alternators there, or at their New Hope store. Good luck and thanks for the Alt Prime sightings!

    As of this afternoon the Plymouth & Maple Grove Targets have not reset their stock (although I could see Plymouth putting up in the next day or two). Plymouth has a few Giant Mini-Cons, but otherwise nothing to write home about anywhere up there.

    Just got back from my toy and gym runs, and I found:

    Alt Prime and Mirage at downtown Target. Mirage still there! Also 6" Titanium Megatron x3.

    BWX Megs and Primal x2 at St. Louis Park Target. Primal x2 and Megs x1 remain.

    I couldn't remember if anyone posting here was still looking for Mirage, so I left him. What I'm going to start doing is leaving my current wants at the bottom of my sightings here. If you see something I need, or if I see anyone else do the same and I spot something, I'll pick it up for you, or I could pay anyone back who does the same for me. If that sounds good to you, post your wants and I'll keep an eye out. We can communicate via PMs. It might help each other to beat scaplers to the punch.

    Currently still hunting for: Cybertron Menasor.

    I scored Mirage from downtown, glad it was someone from who got prime. I like many, still need him too. Miester and Tracks were still there.

    Picked up 6" Prime at the Cliff Rd. Target last night. :)  :)  :)  None left, but they did have a ton of the Attacktix boosters and two 6" Megatrons.

    94 & White Bear had a 6" Megatron earlier tonight and not much else.

    With gas prices the way they are that's just too far for me to drive on the chance he might be there when I get there
