    Ah, Phantom of the Attic was the one I couldn't remember. I bought some Gundam kits from the Carnegie and Monroeville locations YEARS ago.

    Warrington Target had at least 6 Leader Shockwaves and 4 Galaxy Primes.
    Looks like we may have new shelf-warmers?
    Oh, and a SS Rampage, lone Siege Starscream, SS Dropkick and Shatter, 2x Siege Hound and 2x Siege Chromia

    I looked up this place, it looks awesome and I really want to go, but it says they’re permanently closed online. Is this true?

    5 Soundwaves (after I forced them to dig them out of the back and snagged one for myself) (no cassettes yet) and a full case of WFC wave 3 (yes that means 2 Refractors!) at the Hiltown (Hatfield) Wally World as of 7:30 this morning. Get 'em while they're hot!

    I went last night and they were not out yet. And the staff was no help.
    Where were the figures located? Side wall with the seige figures?

    A while back i sold a few bots (including my CW devastator (just didnt have the space for him and the shine had worn off a lot)) to D&E and they gave me a very good deal on what i'd brought in that they could buy and then re-sell. I ended up culling a lot of my collection back home recently to a friend of the family and still have a bunch of stuff in storage here i'd ideally like to move at some point

    Yeah if I'm trying to sell stuff, D&E is my first option since they give you the best deal. They prefer MISB even though they will take your opened TFs. Their stock is also completely dependent on what people bring to them. They aren't a comic store or a shop that gets new product from the manufacturer. So when buying I have to make a special trip since they are so far from me.

    They're in the middle of their reset. The Transformers section had already been reset when I was there. There are labels on the shelves for the new stuff. Nothing was put out yet.

    As for what they did have on the shelves, the only noteworthy things were:
    1 Galaxy Optimus
    2 Sports Car Patrol
    1 Warrior Slipstream

    Yeah the wife went there last night as well and got the same run around. "N/A for item location could mean anything" Yeah right. Turns out they were still not out this morning and the reason was the shipping box is marked for them to be put out during the next reset, which is next week. The person I snagged to help me said "they don't like to put out anything new right before a reset because it's more work to move it". She said "screw it, I want to make a sale" so she brought them out and put all 6 on the shelf then and there. Back wall, under the Seige figures as you said.

    Hmm... thank you! You just let me experiment with the Target app and it had a very strange result.
    I thought that when they finished the reset, it would change to "out of stock" in the app instead of "Not sold in this store" but I see that the Chamberburg store still lists the Rainmakers as "Not sold in this store" instead of "Out of stock."
    Very peculiar, I wonder what it takes for it to change to "out of stock" instead of the not sold message.

    Side note: King of Prussia now says "Out of stock." I KNEW I got the run-around the other night...

    Maybe when all of toys is done it might change? Then it might be finalized in the system. I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud. When I was there, they were about halfway done with the reset. Maybe check it again tomorrow or Thursday and see what it says.

    I ordered the Rainmakers three-pack for store pickup, and they're due Thursday. Maybe that's when they plan to have product available?

    Maybe? I just checked Brickseek, and they don't have the Rainmakers or the 10-pack.

    That's a good thought... I'll give that a try.
    I'm not too worried about getting them, but seeing how reliable the Target app and Brickseek is always intrigues me. Adds a new aspect to "The Hunt" Haha

    Oohhh... good point! Thanks!

    Off the Target website? It won't allow me to do that just says out of stock at my local stores some further away might allow it but I'm not going to go to a Philly store just to get it.

    Brickseek, and Walmart website - only showing stores with stock; no online purchase available, are updating through the day with G1 Soundwave in stock. I wonder if that means it just came in off the truck? I wonder if it's worth going out to check if they will pull it from the back for me...
