    What’s on the outside of the box? TRA SEEKER3PK or something different?

    I'm betting that's what happened with me. That explains why the earlier guy was it on the machine and the later one didn't. There also wasn't a tag on the shelves, so that's another culprit. Maybe next time. Gonna call ahead, though...

    They had another Red, but the box was beat to crap.

    midtown comics, forbidden planet and image anime are the basic go tos. Cool places to look but all city shopping is a little pricey.

    Those of you late to the siege frenzy, a bunch of Wave 1-3 deluxes at Atlantic Avenue/Barclays Center Target, save for Refraktor.

    *eyes wide open for Rainmakers

    Midtown and Forbidden for retail releases; maybe a Generations Selects figure or very recent Masterpiece

    Image Anime is more adult collector oriented. Don’t bother unless you’re window shopping. Get an Amazon Japan account to save yourself the trouble of ghastly overpriced merch

    You will see him with the reset, I don’t see it being on the shelf long, takes up a lot of space.

    Keep using Brickseek & watch after the reset. You’ll stand a better chance of finding one that way.

    Of course Poughkeepsie Target put out Springers yesterday and didn’t have the time or money to get him and they immediately sold out of them the next day when I had the chance to.

    And with this Im officially done with this godamn store! Wasting my time with not putting shit out and when they do, its gotta be when im broke or late to work! Oh and now these scumbags want me to sign up for their scam card in order to get Redwing! FUCK YOU TARGET!!!!!

    Does anyone know when Target and Walmart restock? I've been trying to test my Target hypotheses on them restocking toys (at least in eastgreenbush) on Sunday, by-weekly.

    Walmart I have no clue, my theory is whenever they think it's "too Messy".

    Slightly off topic but has anyone seen any of the NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated 2 Packs at any Targets in or around Long Island recently? Trying to get a few of these and don't want to have to resort to eBay
