    Can you tell which Walmart in Concord? Is it the one by Concord Mills or the one that is close to the Nascar Race Track? Thanks in advance.

    No worries. I visited Kannapolis Walmart last night. There were 2 Cyclonus's and 4-5 Primals. Got one of each and a Cheetor. There were 2 Black Arachnia's remaining.

    Has anyone seen a Studio Series Overload? I've never been able to find one at retail, and he's either sold out or at a grossly inflated price online. :(

    Let me preface this by saving your time if you don’t want to read yet another target rant lol.

    Real quick - Walmart at university has a studio series hot rod and a cyclonus and primal and a core rat trap, no grimlocks though. If only they had, I would not have been subjected to the monumental incompetence that is the university Target

    Went looking for grimlock and of course nothing on the shelf, so I gave an associate the dpci “yeah, it says technically we have 4 of them, but they have a street date of 2/1”. Instead of making a stand there and saying, hey do me a favor, just grab one and scan it and see if it is actually street dated of if it is just register locked - which is what I should’ve done. I just said ok thanks and purchased the stuff I was there to buy. Decided you know what, today i make a stand against stupidity. Went to customer service, had to convince the c/s desk associate, she saw my logic and called manager, he shut her down, get her to concvince him, she punched it in and said it will tell me sell it. He said, hmm, well let me check or equally useless. She says he’s checking do you mind if I help these other customers while we wait. I said no, that’s fine. 30 minutes goes by, she’s helping other people, getting online orders... I ask after a customer, anything? No, she said. Then she proceeds to go on break!!?? Still nothing. Then the lady taking her place finishes up the last couple fo customers and asks if someone is helping me. I give her the cliffs notes, she punches it in and says yes, it looks like it can be sold. Asks someone to pull it up and after another 10 minutes, I see someone coming up with a red SS leader box and she brings it to the counter and asks if this is the one and it is a fracking demolish or!?!? I said no, that’s not the right one, she said I’m sorry that’s all that’s back there. At this point I said you know what, thank you both for your help but that’s not the right one and I left. I don’t know if the first person that checked the number was inept or the second c/s rep put in the wrong dpci code or what. But by that time i was done. I tried to call target on the way home but was just on hold, so I left feedback on the app. If I never set foot in the university Target again it will be too soon.
    Ok rant over

    I found mine in person at Target, but it was ~6 months or so ago. He came in a box with Scavenger I think, who I still see around sometimes.

    I have been to 10 targets over the last week and from my understanding grimlock has the same dpci as all the leader class studio series figs.

    That may be the case, I know the dpci in the target app seems to direct to another number when they key it in. They are just set on their stupid set date. I’m hoping to find it in walmart prior to 2/1 so I don’t have to buy t in target even though I have a gift card, that’s how much they pissed me off lolol

    Never saw anything in store aside from wave 1 megatron and the knockoff skywarp.

    I ordered my soundwave from walmart.com just last week. Try there. 20210124_134350.jpg

    Greensboro. Willing to travel a little bit. I know that costs gas money, but I actually enjoy going for a drive here and there and "visiting" new places (meaning driving through nowadays, thanks pandemic), so it would be worth a trip.
